    looks like Jeff managed to squeeze in some skate time in Strathmore before the show:

    Alright, that's awesome. Jeff was also rockin' a pimpin' bass I'd never seen prior to yesterday; it was really, really big and decorated in black-and-white (although I didn't see Pearl Jam last year, so maybe it's old?).

    Oh, and a couple more dork notes: one, Mike wasn't playing his usual "Even Flow" guitar, but rather a new Strat (same colour); two, the playout music was "Lost in the Supermarket" by the Clash.

    I geeked out on the bands guitars as well, and noticed Mike playing that Strat on Evenflow. It has a maple neck instead of rosewood, and I'm guessing it's vintage as well. Mike's tone was awesome, notably on the Black solo. WOW. Also on YL. He was on fire. Jeff's black and white (or silver?) checker pattern bass was HOT. Stone was rockin a guitar I haven't seen before as well, a coral pink strat with lots of wear. He played it on the new songs.

    Here's my fan view: Holy crap! I was up and the front all day, and with each band the crowd got progressively more intense. We got a solid setlist, and you could really tell the band was enjoying playing to such a lively and huge crowd. I looked back a couple times and all I saw was a sea of people. I'm glad I got to hear Severed Hand, that song kicks so much ass live. The crowd was really rockin to Down as well.

    Eddie remarked that the COP management said they could go over curfew, and that he thought it wasn't because of PJ or their organization but because of how well the crowd was handling themselves. You could tell he was struck by how intense yet controlled the crowd was. Props to the security guys who helped all those crowd surfers and gave us much need water.

    This will be my only PJ show for a while, and that's OK because of how awesome it was. I know over the next couple of days more memories will come back, but for now it can be pretty much summed up by saying the crowd was the best, the band seemed happier than ever, and the music was pretty much perfect.

    Second show I've been to, and it was even better than the last one. Cooler yet for me was that this was the first concert for my one year old daughter. :D

    He seemed pretty pinned last night to say the least but was in amazing spirts...the energy last night was infectious.....finished his wine first set then proceeded into the Corono and Grasshopper's (one of which he dumped all over himself....lol).

    Great show....

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    he doesnt look staggering drunk at all... clearly you've never been to a scottish stag party.

    He talked about how the altitude here was affecting his voice. Maybe it gave him a quicker buzz.
