October 26, 1996 The Point Theatre – Dublin, IE

The band seems in a friendly, upbeat mood with Ed being rather chatty. He tells a little story before ‘Habit’: “We met an interesting fellow in a little basement club thing last night. You know … one of those guys who says, ‘Heroin, its not addicting. I’ve been doing it for eight years.’ … whatever, mate. This song’s for you.” Ed refers to ‘Mankind’ as Stone Gossard’s “vocal debut in Ireland.” (‘Mankind’ was skipped in Cork.) ‘Even Flow’ features a very cool, different jam by Mike. During the ‘Daughter’ outro, Ed suggests, “OK, so the shades are down … why not, roll them up?” leading to ‘Noise of Carpet.’ After Alive, Ed notes that this is the first time PJ has played Dublin proper and he says he thinks he has agoraphobia. The crowd is given a choice between ‘Leaving Here’ and ‘Yellow Ledbetter’ for the final song; ‘Yellow Ledbetter’ is played.
