i hope they open with yellow ledbetter and close with bugs.

I don't know.  Once I saw them open with "Release" which is one of the best mood builder songs I've ever heard and close with "Baba O'Reilly" which was pretty epic. 

Granted, the entire encore, which started with "Sonic Reducer", was played behind the stacks because fans were throwing a bunch of shit on stage, including shoes that hit just about every band member.  So they walked off and Eddie said "me and Jeff are going to the front gate and when you exit, we are going to beat the shit out of every barefoot person here"

I was gonna say... 93? Look at that fucking setlist. They were unstoppable in 93 and 94.

Great show last night.  Band of Horses sounded good and Pearl Jam was awesome.  I had a good view from my seat and it was right next to the sound board.  Looks like Eddie went to the PIL show the night before as he talked about it.  Said something along the lines that he didn't get cussed out by the singer or something   Getting out was a breeze too

This was my 7th or 8th show and was pretty average as far as PJ shows go.  Kind of like sex or pizza I guess - great even when it's just OK.

Was it me or was there something off with the sound?  The mix was pretty bad from where I was and I heard almost zero bass.  Was glad they played "Garden" anyway.

Agree that getting in/out was really easy (for once)

Solid show but Sec 101 Row S doesn't cut it.....as has been pointed out Eddie Vedder was wearing a PiL shirt and even drinking from a 930 water bottle.

[Vas Deferens]

Pearl Jam would have been a great opener for My Morning Jacket at MPP.

oh yeah they still had orchestra seats the night of the show at the box office

In the end the pavilion was pretty full at least from 101 down there were hardly any empty seats...

If there had been I'd have moved up....


The tough economy has an impact on everybody.. when you have $80 tickets which turn to $100 with charges its tough to sell everything...I mean every seat in the pavilion was $79.99 or whatever... that ain't chumnp change.

The venue rep definitely depresses turn out.(particularly on a week night). I know a lot of people who just will not go out there regardless of who is playing..

I'd travel to another city before going out to JLL. I cannot stand that venue. I'd rather make the trek up to Philly, go to the Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden (you can get there by ferry!) and at least enjoy a cheese steak or countless other fun things to do in Philly. Of course it helps that my friends live there and let me crash on a moment's notice.

[conorh98]

Same for me. Swore off that venue and haven't regretted it. I've traveled to Philly to see PJ, but absolutely will not make the treck to Bristow.
