The official Pearl Jam topic

...and you were right, it was incredible! They played for just over 3 hours, they played great, the weather was great, one of the best shows I've been to.

Rockin' in the Free World (Neil Young cover - with members of the band Off! and Ray Cameron)

The ones in bold are the songs I've never seen them play before, and this is my fifth time seeing them. Astonishing gig!

The only bad thing I can say is how sodding long it took me to get home afterwards!

"Chloe Dancer"/"Crown of Thorns" was amazing. I ordered the self- titled 2CD set from Amazon on the train home because of it. I filmed a 2:30 minute clip on my phone which might make it onto YouTube one day.

When my friend and I arrived at the train station, the taxi driver said the bowl is only a 15 minute walk from there. Was it bollocks! It took us the best part of an hour! But then we did stop half way for a few lagers mind!

I've travelled for gigs several times over the years so I couldn't care less about that, the show is what counts.

Got tickets to the two London shows next month and can't remember ever wanting something so much. I feel these will be the highlight of my gig adventures when I grow old (no pressure!) I've never seen them before but whatever happens I will be in awe and just soak it all in.
This band has became my favourite over the years, and any spare money I have is spent on buying their bootlegs. I am trying to complete my 2000 collection but still a long way to go.
