Just throwing it out there...PJ20

Sorry but I thought opening night of PJ20 was kind of boring and anticlimactic. This is the first time I have ever left a PJ show unfulfilled.

Oh no, I'm sorry you feel that way. I hope tomorrow night makes up for it,
Another habit says its long overdue
Another habit like an unwanted friend
I'm so happy with my righteous self
I will take your view over someone sat on the boards saying 'glad i didn't go after seeing the setlist'.
For me, the setlist looks great - my kind of PJ gig. Lots of curveballs thrown in, the big-hitters not there. I'd die happy seeing 'Help Help', 'In My Tree', 'Who You Are' and 'Hunger Strike' in the same show. Any show!
What disappointed you? How did the band sound generally?
Hopefully you will enjoy Night 2 more!

it's supposed to be unique, cause it's a unique show
it's only part one dude...they're just warming up!
tomorrow will be awesome!
Ed: Seattle 1 & 2 2011, Bridge School 2011
I do admit having Cornell sing 3-4 songs messed up the flow though, even though it was great to hear hunger strike.
Ed wasn't talkative?!?
He talked for what seemed like 15 minutes about growing up and people telling him he'd never amount to anything, and he should give up on this whole music dream, and take a job at the drugstore and yada yada. It was pretty fucking inspiring. Then, after the final song, he's the last guy on the stage STILL talking.
The guy basically wouldn't shut up all night.
Anyway, I liked the show. It was a little weird, but weird can be good. I really don't know what else to say. I'm stunned people thought it was "low-energy" or whatever. I also think Ed sounded fine, and often great. It's like we were watching two different shows.
Also, are people really bitching about length? I went in thinking I'd be happy if they played until midnight, since the show was slated to end at 11:30. They went to 12:15. Nearly 2:45 of showtime.
for the least they could possibly do

They played for 2:45. Not sure how much longer one expected them to play.
Most of us figured the show was over with Porch.

monkey driven call this living
dont bother, just kick it in yer lake geneva hotel room and we'll report back about the house music after the show :roll:
and fuck me if you only hear what you wanna hear
fuck me...if I care...but im not leavin here
This is 1.45 though, right? Or did you mean 10.30 instead of 11.30?
Ps: I wasn't there, so this question is purely out of curiousity and interest.
I can't wait to hear & watch it too. Though, the Temple Of The Dog experience during Pearl Jam setlist, this was the greatest "original Pearl Jam song's played" setlist in year's? :shock:
after living through 30 years of marriage
I also know anniversaries, in and of themselves, can be a let down
it's the everyday and each day that makes it all real
makes it what it is
hold on to all the good PJ memories
bundle them together and put PJ 20 wherever it belongs for you
it's all good and there is nothing better than Pearl Jam
