    Wow I am surprised they aren't sticking to their guns and playing Love Reign O'er Me or Baba O'Riley. I wonder what Foo Fighters are going to play.

    Stellar lineup and of course PJ. I've only held out on buying tix for reason 1. they may only play 1-2 songs 2. VH1 is filming a TV show with speakers (people), etc so it may be lame. For over $150 a ticket I took the big pass. Hope i don't kick myself after

    you are right, that does come off as being a jerk.

    Video just surfaced of Pearl Jam rehearsing this. Sounds rad, but they should lose the make up.

    Have a Cigar is a Floyd song...

    I have a feeling they will do one of the earlier songs, like My Generation or The Kids Are Alright, too bad Dave couldn't be behind the kit instead of fronting...

    Well, maybe The Who will be playing them, I'd think they would get first choice. ;)

    Ah fuck the Who, who gives a shit ;). Pearl Jam should take precedence.

    That would be kinda funny thought, if Eddie was like fuck you guys we're playing Love Reign O'er Me and its gonna kick your version's ass. Which it does by the way, I just like Eddie's vocals a lot better.

    PJ kicks butt on Love Reign O'er Me. Didn't Ed sing Magic Bus when he appeared with Townsend in 1999? That would be cool. I'd also love to hear Tattoo and Boris the Spider. Hee Hee
    ...And he who forgets will be destined to remember.

    ...I swear I never took it for granted. Just thought of it now.
