Pearl Jam on stage 6:30 - 7:30???

doompony

4.30??? that's obscenely early! wonder when mah boy Liam and the lovely Eliza Jane go on stage then.

Dr Chrono

430 ey... Gotta duck out early from work then...

doompony

take the day off work. sit in a car for 9 hours. live the dream.

Toastie

Its either he starts at 4.30 which means pearl jam wanna come on when the sun is out (kinda hope not cause concerts a way better in the dark) or thats when the gates open. Im assuming its the gate open option. Or it could just be a random number they put in?

Could be a random number.... The thing is the stadiums are big open air and noisy. Usually events are done by 10-11ish.

Pearl Jam usually do around a 2hour set. So I would guess on stage at 8pmish.

Dammit Release details!

Oh well.. Tix have been purchased this morning. Received order confirmation 8:02:24 am....

Just hope Sydney from Concert III 2006 shows up.

I cant imagine them coming on earlier than 8 at night. Seems Ben Harper will be on first, then a break, then Liam Finn, a break then the ones we're all coming for for 2 hours at least (hopefully longer since they're only playing one show per city).

doompony

can we please have a time slot for a pre-gig eddie set and a massive orgy of goodness at the end with all the acts? perhaps even ed coming on during liam's set to do the high pitched vocals in i'll be lightning? or lending his skills to the screaming-loops?

giddy!

Dan C

Would expect seating arrangements for Sydney to appear at this link at some point in time.

I hope Ben Harper doesn't fuck Indifference every time it is played.

dimitrispearljam

so,all my friends u score?all good all in?,,i hope yes..

Tuolumne Mama

Sounds like an excellent show. Hope you all enjoy. Would love to see Liam and Eliza again - my son is totally into them and has been listening to some of the older betchadupa stuff. I have been wanting to hit OZ/NZ for a show for many years now - maybe next time. Dimitri, you mean you aren't going and are so close - well at least a bit closer than I am.

I hope Ben Harper doesn't come anywhere near that stage while Pearl Jam are playing. Although I WILL allow:

Liam Finn - TYAAM or any Split Enz/Crowded House cover
EJ - Golden State (please, please, please!!)

Ed can come on during Liam and EJ's set and play drums on Old Man, and Ed can also come on stage during Ben's set and perform Under Pressure

I've seen Bowie do Under Pressure.....you can't go back.....please Ben....leave Under Pressure alone! I am really really looking forward to the songs off White Lies For Dark Times! Good shit! Except Skin Thin....skip that song everytime.

It's one of his setlist staples. He does that song MAJOR justice. He also does a brilliant cover of Led Zeppelin's "Good Times, Bad Times"
I love "Skin Thin" :oops:

WTF? Major justice? Noooo....

Skin Thin is gay! lol That's the crappest song on the whole album. What's your favourite?

Yep. MAJOR justice
Favourite is "Keep It Together (So I Can Fall Apart)". That song kicks butt!

Are you saying major justice compared to Bowie?

Yeah....great song! Also a fan of Shimmer and Shine and Lay There and Hate Me. The whole album is great....bar Skin Thin!

Major justice compared to Queen/Bowie. Check out some YouTube clips. That song blew me away when I saw him play it at his 2 shows at Bluesfest.
I'm quite surprised you like "Faithfully Remain" seeing as you don't like his Innocent Criminals stuff.

LMAO! That song was just on two seconds ago...and I thought "nah, this song is definitely Zzzzzz material!"

I've seen BH do Under Pressure twice on youtube and I wasn't impressed at all. I'll check out Bluesfest though....I don't think that was one of the ones I watched. For me, I highly doubt it will be better than Bowie or Queen. But I am biased!

This is magic!

EDIT: I remember some tool standing next to me at Bluesfest thought that when Under Pressure started playing that Ben was going to rip into a cover version of Ice Ice Baby :roll:

That vid was way better than the other versions.....I would enjoy that if it was played. One of the versions I saw sucked so badly....his voice was like screeching cats.

Saying it's better than Queen or Bowie is a bit much for me though!

ha ha ha Ice Ice Baby!

I never said it was better than the Queen/Bowie original. Their rendition is untouchable. This version is pretty awesome though
