Note the setlist seems like a work in progress … differences between those tweeting and what PJ.com has posted.
Also, check out the “PEARL JAM” in the leopard print. My eye didn’t catch it at first.
Ok, i guess Corduroy it is

Not only “Pearl Jam” in the leopard print, but there’s a “20″ and an “X” too. My eyes got a workout this morning..LOL
It was a good show – I was very happy to see them live once again; though it’ll hurt forever that I couldn’t find tickets for the Nov. 4th concert. Not to mention the high price for the tickets.
Shame we never saw that poster ever printed here in Brazil, too.
Still, PJ is PJ, and it will always be worthwhile.
You’ve got a nice blog here.
