I'm from London Ontario as well. I only made it to half of that show. To make a long story short........I rode in the back of an ambulance to University Hospital with severe stomach pains. No alcohol, drugs or anything like that was involved. They did tests and it ended up being acid/really bad gas built up in my stomach. I know it sounds funny now but I swear I thought something really serious was happening. I never had that kind of stomach pain before. I hope to God I get another chance to see Pearl Jam at the JLC.
I consider London my hometown as I lived there twice and they were during some important years in my life
so, let's have another show in London
Canada Winter 2009 TOUR !!!!
1998 ~ Barrie
2003 ~ Toronto
2005 ~ London, Toronto
2006 ~ Toronto
2008 ~ Hartford, Mansfied I,
2009 ~ Toronto, Chicago I, Chicago II
2010 ~ Cleveland, Buffalo
2011 ~ Toronto I, Toronto II, Ottawa, Hamilton
2013 - London, Pittsburgh, Buffalo
This was also my favorite show. Great crowd, and the setlist was full of rarities. I had a lot of fun hanging out with other 10 Clubbers that night. It was certainly the right show to use my party favors at.
I love Canada, but I especially liked being in London. Beautiful, clean city with lots of friendly people (like the rest of Canada). Even found some nice vinyl in records stores there the next day before driving on to Hamilton. Sometimes I wish I could move to Canada. If I would ever actually do so I'd want to live in London.
Ahh, memories of the 2005 Canadian Tour, one of the BEST ever!!!
I only did three shows, Thunder Bay > Kitchener > London, but they were three of the best Pearl Jam shows (I've only seen them 20 times) I have EVER been to ... incredible crowds, so much fun meeting, hanging, drinking with so many cool jammers...LET's DO IT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!
I was alone and far away when I heard the band start playing!
...I was always a DeadHead, but when I first heard Winston Rodney, aka the Burning Spear, sing, I became a SpearHead too!
and most of the people who came from other countries also had a great time
it may not be within the next year or 2 or 3
but who knows, they can take a month and do it again
1998 ~ Barrie

London was an unexpected jewel that I was lucky enough to have gone to. Got my frist Oceans and Smile that night. Plus a totally unexpected Black, Red and Yellow and the Let Stone sing chant. Such a great show - one of my alltime favs.
Plus anytime they play SOLAT I'm happy. Especially if its SOLAT into Smile.
I'm getting really jealous reading these posts about the London show, seeing that I was only at half the show. I have the boot leg for that show and it sounds like it was one of a kind. Hopefully they will come back!
"Fuck school Melissa..your staying with us, oops I said fuck again". Yes, please COME BACKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!

"We paced ourselves and we didn't rush through it and we tried to be as creative as our collective minds would let us be over some course of time instead of just trying to rush through a record"
Ed: "1, 2, 3, 4, 2,..." (Stone started strumming JUST a little too early, stops himself, Ed laughs, crowd cheers),...
Ed: "Stone Gossard, everybody, right here...there's two people, ah, standing over here with "Let Stone Sing Songs" Signs (crowd cheers, Stone noodlepicks on his acoustic),...
(crowd up front starts the chant, "Let Stone Sing,..."
Ed: "Let Stone Sing a Song is the sign",... (dumbfounded)
the crowd cheer picks up steam, Stone still noodlepicking, likely embarrassed,...Matt then joins Stone with a little high-hat groove as he's picked up on the cheer,...Ed has also now picked up on it, and repeats it in amazement "Let Stone Sing,..."
Jeff joins in on the groove, then Matt kicks it up a notch with the cowbell, Ed strums a note, and we have ourselves a funky little groove inspired by the chant
quick jam ends. crowd cheers.
Ed: "No, he shall never sing! (crowd laughs),...He shall never sing! He shant be singing! (crowd boo's),...Not only will he not be singing, but he'll be kissing fish! Where's the fish to kiss? (side note: the practice of kissing fish in Newfoundland, known as "screeching") I think we've been had! (Ed giggles),...What? You think that actually somebody's not letting him sing, is that the connotation of that sign? (Stone noodlepicks) Stone Gossard can sing anytime he wants, at any time, on this stage, on any stage really (crowd cheers),...He chooses not to, and he's waiting to find a worthy audience apparently (crowd boo's),...
Stone: "Actually, what I've always wanted to do is dance, so, (crowd cheers) tonight I'm going to perform later, ah, after the show for an hour, so (Ed starts strumming a little groove for Stone to dance to), everyone stick around, it's gonna be fuckin' kick-ass, for sure! (the rest of the band joins in you, and Stone can't resist!)

That London show had some incredible energy. I recall before they came on stage, perhaps 30 minutes before the show started I was in the beer line on the perimeter of the bowl and I thought the place was just going to erupt. It was bordering on Chaos.

London/05 was a fun one
