I loved this show! Great setlist at a great-sounding venue. I love the fact that we PJ fans are so spoiled (in a good way!) by the band's awesomeness that we sit down during the first encore break, expecting not only a two-song encore, but (at least) two full encore sets.
"Alright? Well, thank you very much. You were a bit quiet. It's almost like you knew we were coming back out," said Ed.
Of course, I had to sit down during the break because the main set kicked my ass, and I need to get some rest for the rest of the show!
Anyhow, listening to the official boot, I feel that there's something different about "The Fixer" compared to what I remember from the show. This could just be my brain tricking me with a false memory, but during the intro, I recall that Mike (perhaps) was (mistakenly) playing in a different key at the same time as Stone, but he gets in tune when the rhythm section comes in. On the bootleg recording, Stone (or the right speaker guitarist, who I assume is Stone) plays the intro alone. Did the mixer delete the off-key intro in "The Fixer"? I just need to ask everyone who was there about this, if only to confirm that yes, I am going crazy, recalling all kinds of modified memories. I thought it was a cool little quirk, if it happened.
For the longest time, oh, since perhaps 1996 or even 1994, "Jeremy" became my least favorite, non-filler PJ track. When they played it that night, I reconnected with that song. Thanks, Pearl Jam!
Huh, on The Fixer -- can you hear Ed say off mic really fast, "we're ready, we're ready, we're ready, we're right!" as the song begins and then adds on mic "Here we go!"
Of the four LA shows, this show had the best crowd. The band was on fire and the crowd was on fire. LA 4 was my favorite setlist but LA 2 was the most fun.
LA 3 was actually my least favorite of the four shows excluding the incredible ending, of course.
