I've been raising my SMILE poster for 3 nights now from some great seats in the orchestra area (also had it displayed in the front row at Outside Lands). Tonight was the first time that Eddie actually acknowleged it and then he went and grabbed his harmonica and I almost choked.............but then they started into FOOTSTEPS......which ruled!! Pearl Jam just makes me happy! Maybe I'll get SMILE tomorrow [/quote]
And what a fantastic sign it was! And I, too, thought they were going to play it since Vedder so very pointedly pointed you and your sign out. Well there's always tomorrow!
Congrat's on the setlist. How did you get backstage? How about a pic of the setlist for those who missed out on LA3 - AKA "Monsters of Grunge"[/quote]
Thanks! I got back there by a hookup from a friend that knows somebody with the venue... She got me a wristband and that gets you into this lounge area just outside the dressing rooms.... over the first 3 shows i've gotten to meet Boom, Stone, Jeff and Mike so far.... Jeff and Mike signed my LA2 Lakers shirt which was cool... I was going to bring it back today to see if I got lucky enough to meet anyone else and have them sign it but i didn't unfortunately... Luckily, I did get the setlist and I asked Stone to sign it... And he was nice enough to do so... Maybe I'l bring the shirt with Jeff and Mike tomorrow night and cross my fingers lol
Tonight at the Gibson (formerly Universal) Amphitheater was proof that Pearl Jam is a band for all eternity. It was a great fusion of what the band is today from what the band has brought from yesterday. The absolute highlight of the show was 'Hunger Strike' with special guest, Chris Cornell. I have been fortunate enough to witness this collaboration twice, but tonight's version was simply incredible. It was 1991 all over again, but with the perspective of 2009.
We were treated to one amazing song after another. 'Faithful' is one of my favorite songs... one I have not heard in some time. That was eclipsed by 'Off He Goes' (my personal favorite) and all was dwarfed by 'Hunger Strike'.
Add to that... it was nice to see all of my Pearl Jam friend's at the show. For me, A main part of my enjoyment of the gigs are the faces of those people I don't spend enough time with. I am happy that they got to see and hear the same things I did. So, to everyone who was there.... I am so happy for you and if you enjoyed it one tenth as much as I did, you have a lifetime's worth of happiness.
Last week's gigs were great, but tonight will go down as one of my personal favorites. If, went I grow old and decrepid... and the Alheimer's robs me of my past... I only hope the God allows me the keep this memory in tact.
I really do love this band.
Allen Fieldhouse, home of the 2008 NCAA men's Basketball Champions! Go Jayhawks!
Hail, Hail!!!
I can say without shame or reservation that those bastards onstage reduced me to not being able to hold my camera steady due to all the shaking I was doing when Cornell waltzed his ass out onto the stage. Bastards.
And good Lord you forget how tall he really is...until he's standing next to you. Faithful, Off He Goes, RVM, Footsteps, Red Mosquito, Hunger Strike and that wonderfully fucked up jazz improv...Jesus.
First off, I want to thank Ten Club for the amazing seats. 5th row Orchestra...................
The cherrry on top was Jerry Cantrell playing the solo during Alive. I couldn't believe my eyes. Then at the end, there was a bow, and Mike, Stone, Jeff, Matt, Eddie, Chris Cornell, and Jerry Cantrell all stood in a row and took a bow together. The Monsters of Grunge. That just blew me the fuck away.
This was a very special night that I will never ever forget.
you forgot BOOM!!! lol
never thought i would EVER see PJ with Chris Cornell - not kidding, as soon as Ed announced him, the roof shot off the Gibson - "and they didn't even charge us for the roof last week..."

This is true!! It's my friendships with some amazing people that make these experiences so beyond imagination! We do it again tomorrow!!

Did we dare even think for a second that Chris Cornell might sing Hunger Strike with Pearl Jam when we woke up on Tuesday morning? After that, when Jerry Cantrell got up to play with them I could barely process it. The show even before Cornell stepped out was stellar- what a wonderful night. I want a picture of all those dudes taking a bow at the end as my wallpaper.
I hereby declare that last nights show shall no longer be known as LA3, but hereafter as "The Monsters of Grunge Show". When someone speaks of that we will know they mean PJ at the Gibson on October 6, 2009. That show is an instant legend.

I travelled from the South West corner of Australia for LA3 & LA4. Man was that worth the airfares, the accommodation and sweeting talking, bribing, begging my family into letting me come! My girl is a saint.
To get a Temple of The Dog reunion (the day after my dog was put to sleep) was amazing. You can have your big U2 stadium claws, your special effects, your pyros, your stage props that other bands use, but what I witnessed tonight was the most incredible live show ever - musical nirvana. It's a shame the name had already been taken by kurt, because that's what it was total nirvana tonight. How good was RVM ????
Paraphrasing from Eddie: Sometimes it takes just one person to make something great...Ladies and Gentlemen, Chris Cornell...
...
I was hoping it would be Tim Robbins... weren't you?
Now that is pure comedy!!! He better not come within 500 feet of the venue tomorrow lol
This reminds me that, after "Given To Fly," Ed said that the song made him think of President Obama and how "we elected him and we need to let him fly the plane" or something to that effect (it was a statement of support for the president and frustration with those opposing him). There were mostly cheers for this sentiment, but a handful of boos.
O.M.G.........WTF??????????..U LUCKY BASTARDS U WAS IN..IM OFFICIAL CRAZY AFTER THIS.. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."

I actually might, but I am not sure yet! :-)

Pearl Jam just keep raising the bar.
Also, KISS is on Jimmy Kimmel from DETROIT... so I guess no Space Ace....
Ace has not been with Kiss for years so a Detroit KISS show would not stop him. I'd love to see him show up but I doubt it will happen.

I dont get why they appeared in LA and not in Seattle though?
Yeah i was thinking the same thing but really all the stars are in LA i know we won't get anything like this in Philly ...
