wow...we just got back home in Waco & i thought i'd post my thoughts while they were fresh. this our (my wife & i) 3rd straight ACL and they keep getting better. this one was memorable for so many reasons...
Fav Shows: Avett Brothers, Bon Iver, Heartless Bastards, Dead Weather, Them Crooked Vultures, Clutch, Toadies, DMB, Grizzly Bear, Kings of Leon, Mute Math, and of course...to top it all off..PEARL JAM!!!
this was my wife's 1st PJ show---she's a longtime fan, but had never seen them live. she was BLOWN AWAY. this was my 19th show, but my first in 5 years....they sounded even better than i remembered. the energy was insane. while i was doing the relay, i was trying to figure out where the sets ended & the encores began...it was hard b/c it seemed like they never left the stage!
i sprained the hell out of my ankle on Friday...we saw the shuttle lines & decided to walk back to our car...bad idea. that only made my ankle worse. when i woke up on Saturday, my ankle was HUGE. after some advil & ice, we headed back downtown from our friends' house. it poured all day Saturday...we had our ponchos on but we were still soaked to the bone. we left after Bon Iver...went back to Melissa's house, changed clothes & re-wrapped & iced my ankle. then we went back for DMB.
Sunday arrived & my ankle was not in good shape at all. Advil, Ice, Wrapped....then we departed for Zilker. there were several bands we wanted to see early in the day, but we opted for lunch while listening to the bands in the Wildflower tent. we then had to make a choice...to be close for PJ or not. we decided to be close, of course!! we headed for Mike's side so we could meet up with Urs & enjoy the day. we kept texting eachother back & forth & finally managed to meet. (sorry we had to leave, Urs! nice "meeting" ya! )
during the end of the Toadies set, my wife started feeling sick....it must've been something she ate. for me, it was a no-brainer. she still feels horrible about it, but i know she'd do the same for me. so, we left our spot from about 3 rows back. it sucked that we had to leave, but I'd make the same decision any day!!
we stepped back, got some air/water & after standing for 3 hours straight, it felt so good to sit & take the weight off my ankle. if anyone reads this that was there near us...thanks for being so patient & helping us through the crowd. i could barely walk & several people stepped in & helped me along. THANK YOU! we moved in closer for The Dead Weather. (HOLY SHIT---WHAT A SET!!!!) Laurel then wanted to try to get closer for PJ, so we got to where we were about 25-30 "rows" back on Mike's (extreme) side right near the Bar left of the stage. there were too many drunk people to count & we saw a lot of fighting---it was pretty crazy. i almost decked a guy for pushing Laurel. and if HE reads this...you sir, are an ASSHOLE. it was getting pretty crazy, so we decided to move towards the back of the lawn. and i'm glad we did. the sound was great & there was plenty of room to move.
the sounded amazing. their energy was infectious & they all seemed to be in great spirits. i was so stoked that we got 3 songs from my favorite record, No Code. Red Mosquito w/ Ben sounded HUGE. Mikes Even Flow solo was fucking awesome. GOT SOME was 10X better than Backspacer. when Ed announced they'd have a special guest, we were both thinking it would be Neil Young....Perry was a huge surprise & they nailed it. it was great to meet Flagg....truly a nice guy & i hope he starts feeling better soon!
all in all....great weekend. my 19th show will always be my favorite for a few reasons. a lot has happened in my life in the 5 years since i'd last seen them. but the main reason is b/c it was my first PJ show with my beautiful & amazing wife. there's so much more that i could say about this show/festival...but i think that's the proper way to end it. THANK YOU PEARL JAM

i mean the last text i got from her was "i miss you always..", and that was in reply to my "i miss you allready...".
id never thought id share that publicly like that.
that's so sad. I almost wanna cry and I'm at work right now. That's very cool of you to share that.
I agree- so very sad. I always wondered what the connection was with her and Smile. I think with the band not playing it at Roo or ACL after the threads begging for it months in advance, the band truly does not read the boards at all. If they did, it would had been played for sure

smile was our favorite song. i dunno if it was the last text. doesnt matter really. but it is the last text i remember vividly. those texts back and forth were after i had left her home, after spending 3 wonderful days hanging out with her in her room. it was like 1am, i was in a cleveland hotel room all alone, i felt empty and sad inside, so i sent her a text, and she sent me one back. i flew home the next morning. and two weeks later i got the call from her youngest daughter. :(
as crazy as it sounds i do remember the last phone call. its in my journal. but that i wont share.
they dont read the boards. but the band was aware of the roo request. i really have no hard feelings for them not playing it. to do so would be selfish in a way. they get so many of them... all you can do is try.
