I've overdosed on Pearl Jam shows over the last week, now I have forgotten how to function normally.

What a phenomenal week.

Gutted its all over. I think it would be in order for the band to release some more Uk dates now. I mean its been ages since they were last over here ;)

You Americans/Australians etc have something extremely special coming your way. This is easily the best tour i ever saw. Easily, The band are a joy to watch, they are so on fire.

I think in manchester we were treated to the most incredible set you could ever wish for.

Now I gotta get my head straight and accept that theres no point in seeing other bands for some time, because there isnt a band in the world who can match these performances. This band are the best bar none on a stage.

I'm off to sit in the corner sulking that its over again.......

    It's obviously time to get on a plane and visit the US. :)

    for her to come home
    eyes upon the horizon

    if divorce wasnt legal in the Uk I'd go with my friend Norman (he was evil enough to offer me his seattle spares on the way out of London).....

    But I dont wanna be divorced.

    My wife really wouldnt understand. Nor would most normal sane people. To me this seems like a very good idea. :lol:

    Post Pearl Jam Tour Depression Syndrome is real . Going from the high of three shows in four days (Berlin, Manchester , London) to surfing my couch is impossible. My cure is more of the hair of the dog that bit me. I go on the pit once or twice a day , watch my PJ DVD's , listen to the music, and as the Seattle dates draw closer, will pop in the Touring Van Canada and OZ DVDs so that the hunger for the road builds. The waiting drives me mad , sure, but the best music and the great fans that make The Long Road so great are never far away.

    STALKER!!! You can bet your life as soon as you get to Seattle you'll be trying to find out where Eddie lives and ringing his doorbell to try and get your reenk roink and tamborine signed and telling him you love him.

This guy i met told me he saw a wierd little bloke sat on the curb waving his deep magazine at all the cars and lorries that left the venue.... loser! ;)

    I heard about that guy too, he doesnt sleep ever. so the legend has it

    he has this mate who was trying to emulate that curly haired useless one in Gomez - shaking the hell out of a tamburine.
