I'll be there. No idea where I'll be standing, but I'm wearing a Pearl Jam t-shirt today.

After walking in to a line that bent around the block, I walked through the door in less than 5 minutes wait. One of the best will call / ticketing / ID check I've ever experienced. Really well organized.

Lots of instruments on stage. I'm just off center from the rail in the balcony.

I would consider Johnny Cash and Dylan to be bigger.

I have to say, I was a little underwhelmed by the show. Some bright spots for sure, but overall it seemed to lack a certain je ne sais quoi.

But yeah, Sound of Silence was worth the price of admission.

Great show with a nice selection from his catalog, I'm most familiar with Graceland and kosmette got her 1st and 2nd favs in Kodachrome and The Only Living Boy In New York and would have liked to hear Cecilia.

For a sold out show it didn't feel stuff to the gills and very few people spent the entire evening using their camera phones especially in front of us.

And if BW is lurking Paul did a heartfelt version of "Here Comes The Sun".
