Perth Nov 14 2009: First song of Aussie tour.

Paul Andrews

I'm going to really suck and put in a request that I'd love to be considered if possible.

Please open your Aussie tour with 'Of The Girl' in Perth on Nov 14.

So far Pearl Jam's Perth shows have started with:

1995: Oceans
1998: Sometimes & Long Road (two shows)
2003: Long Road
2006: Go

I've loved 'Of The Girl' as an opener since buying the Boise Idaho 2000 bootleg. What am amazing version they did that night. If at all possible...

And also If any of the band want to use me for target practise for picks, harmonicas, drumsticks, tamborines, set lists, the last gulb out of wine bottles... I'll be the guy down the front with the white LA4 PJ Lakers t-shirt on.

Peace! See you all at Member's Equity.

I hope that you are correct, they opened with that in San Fran 1 06, was amazing.

Just to set the tempo for the entire tour....i WANT See My Friend

But Ill take Release, Oceans or Corduroy

Paul Andrews

I'll go the whole hog and even offer to be Puddy and write the entire Perth set list if needed. Man would we rock that night...

Gonna See My Friend went off in LA - all the new material did. Aussies, we're in for a treat.

The fixer live is far rockier than it is on the album. Just about everyone in LA was screaming the yeah, yeah, yeahs with the band. These songs suit the live experience perfectly. I didn't get to hear supersonic, but from the youtube recordings I've seen that look pretty hot live too. and got some is just insane, johny guitar's big fat riffs are great, just breath and the end are simply beautiful (esp with strings), gonna see my friend rocks, unthought known, amoungst the waves - it's all just too good to capture in worlds - you'll see. :P

They could play the entire album (hmm even in order) and you'll love it all.

have to agree with a release or of the girl opener. although i love listening to the 2006 boot where they just exploded out of the gate with; go, animal, dte, comatose and corduroy, i'd rather a slow build up song into corduroy or hail hail....or both gar cant wait 18 days!!!!!

That was more a tour d' force than an opener of a concert - was incredible. I'd taken my partner to see her first pearl jam show and she was in awe of that opening. we were in row 7 infront of stone. they just exploded out of the box. this time we'll be taking her son (he's 11) to his first ever concert. hopefully we'll get up against the barrier and he'll be as blown away as she was. gotta love this band.

Yeah this will be my first pearl jam concert, and my friends to, there was no way i was going to let her miss this especially after the year she's had with her mum passing and her dad never being home, appropriate birthday present much?

You are a true friend. The gift of Pearl Jam, esp Pearl Jam in 2009 is one she will never forget. She will be taken away from her worries for a few hours and hopefully your lives will be forever changed. The LA shows were as good, if not better than anything I have witnessed from them in all the shows I have seen here in Perth. After a couple of weeks off I expect them to be on fire for Perth. They never let us down on the West coast.

i_lov_it

Yep 'Outta the box' in 06' with 'Go' is spot on...excellent opener that night...wouldn't mind like an Oceans then Corduroy to kick off the GiG this time round but either way should be good

joely_91

ok cool, sounds like a plan

Paul Andrews

They did 'Mankind' in Philly - now that and 'Undone' are two I wish they'd add to the Perth set list.

stardust1976

I'm actually thinking Do the Evolution, then Red Mosquito, then Gonna See My Friend, then Go......are are going to rock out for sure!!!!! Haven't seen them since 95 in Melb - was right at the front - getting squished from all the people breaking down the barriers at the Music Bowl.......Thought I was going to die couldn't breathe at all - BUT IT WAS SO WORTH IT!!! Bring it on!!!!!!
