"Here is the interpreter if you want to..." " Oh, right." " What was your name?" " Francesca." " Francesca." " Very nice to meet you." " Hey." "I don't know my "R"s very well." "Great." "Could you just say it quick so I can hear it when it's..." " Okay." "...the right way?" "I've been bastardizing languages everywhere." "It's just in order to try to communicate, you know?" "It seems like... the whole deal is about communication and then being, you know, as conversational, as real as I can and stuff that you can't do in... in English, you know?" "It's nothing of... you know..." "and sometimes it has some importance behind it, you know?" "A lot of it's just kind of connecting, you know?" "Hello, hello, hello." "All right, then." " That's what I used to do, so..." " Right." "I did, I did it to Def Leppard, to Motorhead, to..." "I hid underneath the Scorpions' limo back in... man, back in '82, I think it was." "So, I was waiting for the Scorpions and I surprised their bass player and he was like "Oh, get away from me."" "And then... but Klaus, their singer, signed a poster for me." "And I was stoked and I had it up on my wall for years, so..." "You guys good?" "Everybody taken care of?" " All right." " Thank you." " Thank you." "Grazie." " Enjoy Bologna!" "There's a reason why we're playing five shows here." "It's because we've had..." "we've had some of the best and some of the strangest shows that we've ever had in the span of our band in Italy, so..." "We're from Israel, From Tel Aviv... all of us." "Pearl Jam, come to Israel!" "Pearl Jam don't play in Finland, so we have to come to Italy." "In Italy, there's a passion that's there after, I guess, you've maybe proven yourself to the people here." "That they're..." "they're just amazing." "There's this... there's this energy that comes from the crowd that is unlike anything I've seen." "I just want to show you this." "This is my little world here." "This is what I'm usually... doing after sound check." "There's a Tom Waits song called "Picture in a Frame."" "Eight tracks and it's the same size as a four-track and it's got a lot of knobs." "I haven't had a machine be like a best friend in a long time." "Keeps me from getting in trouble." "It's because everyone is concentrated only by... on the money." "Look at the influence of... of a certain amount of people in the world." "Could all these problems be solved if you... are we talking 100 men?" "I mean, could all these problems be solved with the agreeance and communication between 100 men?" "Could, you know, and in the same way, is that... does that make, like, only 100 men responsible for, like, all the wars in the world?" "100 people." "Get 'em in a room as small..." "the size of a small movie theater." "Don't let them out... till we... till we kind of figure it out." "Got these in New York..." "these ones right here." "When the sailors were coming back home, they knew they were close to land when they could see a sparrow with maybe some fruit in its mouth." "And so that's always meant coming home to me since I got it." ""5-9" is the day I got married." "And 59 is my favorite type of guitar..." "A 59 Strat, a 59 Les Paul, a 59... couple others 59s." "What about this tattoo, "Serenity and Courage"?" "Um, it means to... you know, it has to do with a lot of stuff that I went through earlier on in my life." "And... and..." "when I went through it" "I, you know, I got this tattoo to remind myself to... hopefully not go back there again." "So..." "And actually, that's the first one I ever got was this music note." "And then the next day I got this one." "And then, like, two days later I got, like, this one and then, so..." "To say I'm a little obsessive is an understatement." "The last four or five years" "I've been hitting all the skate spots." "So it's been... it's taken me to totally different parts of cities." "It's been great." "Like I end up being like just this..." "I'm just a skater." "It's so great." "Twice or three times a week" "I can just get out of the bubble for two hours, get away from it and just be a Joe, you know?" "I have a friend that... has a skate company, Skaterbuilt." "I sent him a shape and he cut me out like 20 boards and I paint 'em up." "I'm taking my life in my own hands by parading around with a red white and blue US board in all these foreign countries." "But I painted it this color because it was about taking the colors back." "Ciao!" "Ed has a feeling pretty much everywhere that we... that we play." "And... he draws it up and then he gives it to us to kinda check it out and we'Il... if there's any feedback we can give him, or if there's something we want to play or..." "If we've run into somebody that, you know, wants to hear something, we'll throw that out, you know, if it sounds like a good idea." "So much of it is just kind of by feel." "And I think Ed has..." "is such a great gauge of kind of... you know, how things are feeling, how the crowd's feeling." "And that's a lot of times why the set list doesn't get done until..." "I mean, sometimes it's done half an hour before the show, before we play." "But often times it's done 10 minutes before we play." "Typically, for the encores, if it feels like we've kind of given them a pretty good ride at that point, then maybe that first encore will be a sit-down encore or it'll be a little bit more of a down encore." "I was just thinking, you know, something to..." " Keep it up?" " Yeah, or either that or, you know," ""Last Exit" or "Small Town." Just something else that they know" " that they can sing along to." " Okay." "It's not just a journey for them." "Yeah, yeah." "We could do "Small Town,"" ""Once," "Alive," "Rockin'," "Ledbetter."" "Those goddamn Romans." "They know how to build a drum room." "They were great." "We did great." "They were great." "I mean, they were really good." "We went through "Inside Job" and "Comeback" and all that." "I think it almost kind of lured them into the subtleties." " Yeah yeah." " It was interesting." "They were good to experiment on." "Klonk!" "He's out!" "It's okay, I wasn't that good." "I knocked your cigarette out." "I'm sorry." "But I've got a little standup like..." "Okay, that feels good on my knees, man." "That was pretty good." "Feels good." "How we feeling?" "Up?" "Down?" "Let's do "Blood," "Even Flow," "Baba," "Indifference."" "Okay." "All right." "Grazie!" "Crowd's great." "You know, I was thinking for the first time tonight..." "I was thinking that..." "I wonder if you put your hands on somebody after you got that much energy from the crowd... like me." "Just put my hands on my throat and just heal it." "It's a lot of energy that's coming your way, you know?" "Is it too sunny for your eyes?" "That better?" "Here." "Come sit up here." "Want to help me with my set list?" "Yeah!" "We're gonna say goodbye to the castles." "Bye-bye, castles!" " Say "Bye, Milano."" " Bye." " Say "Ciao, Milano."" " I think we're going under the trees." "Are we gonna go under the trees again?" "Yeah." " Jam?" " Yeah." "Okay, yeah." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Yeah, well we've certainly..." "Enough." "Enough." "Thank you." "It's like you're an... alternator on a car or something." "You get energy and then you distribute it out and... and then, you know how like the alternator's the first to go?" "At this point, I'm not sure what's gonna work or what's supposed to work or what... as far as set lists or communication or anything." "Like I'm kind of losing the plot a little bit." "And I think the only way I'm gonna get it back is to like... get some time to step away from it a little bit before the next leg." "But at the same time, then, I think that's what's making us try... you know, something totally different." "It's not because we're thinking about it or we have, like, a plan." "It's, you know, because we, like, lost our minds." "So starting after the intro or..." "Yeah, just, like, right where we come in or whatever." "Okay." "So you come in with it." "On the guitar, Mike McCready." "On the bass, Jeff Ament." "On the drums, Matt Cameron." "On the other guitar, Stone Gossard." "On the keys, that's Boom Gasper." "Singing, Eddie." "Grazie." "Here we go!"
