WOW! SO MANY SHIRTLESS MEN!
It seems it was hell of a show!! Those people who were selected to be there are DAMN lucky!!
It was a hell of a show! Just got back. Almost 3 and a half hours worth of sublime Pearl Jam action. Venue was great, sound was great, the crowd was great. Pearl Jam seemed genuinely happy to be there and with the response from the crowd.
And All along the Watchtower with Ronnie Wood?!
Was sitting near a girl with a busted knee who was a kinda new to PJ and it was her first show. She was a bit concerned that it would be full of obscure tunes but afterwards she was just blown away.
Had to pay through the nose for a ticket (since I didn’t win the in the ticket lottery, I didn’t manage to get a ticket on public release and I received the 2nd chance lottery ticket email an hour after they had all gone!) but it was worth every penny.
It’s a show I’ll never forget.
In my over exuberance I incorrectly stated “almost 3 and a half hours worth of PJ”…..sorry everyone, I meant almost 2 1/2!!!
I never thought we’d end any of our articles with “STONE TOPLESS”!!
thanx for the “topless” heads up. I think I’ll get upset & act like a whining bitch who feels violated & objectified then scream about inappropiate comments made here. No wait, why would I do that? I’M A FUCKING MAN, not a whiny bitch
who anyone who went…
was “The End” any good? ……
