I'm gonna voice my two cents here. These past two days I was unable to attend because of my job and not having a enough money.. as I'm sure most of you were in the same situation. I would've fucking killed to see what you guys saw.. Temple of the Dog hasn't played proper since 92 or something like that.. This festival was a celebration of the greatest rock band over the past 20 years.. Just 2 shows to celebrate how far they've come as a band. It's truly an unbelievable thing. A lot of things hadd to have happen in order for there to be a 20th anniversary. Very few rock bands have made it 20 years, we are the luckiest fans on Earth, hands down. There's no other band that'll play 28-32 songs of a different variety night in and night out. We're treated like royalty. Which made this festival about celebrating. Not a stupid setlist. The band celebrated with who they wanted to and quite frankly.. they've earned that right.

So a HUGE thank you to Pearl Jam, when I discovered you guys my life changed for the better. I couldn't be happier with where you're at now and where you're going. :)

So bottoms up to 20 more years of the greatest rock n roll band on the planet! 8-)

    I was just watching a lot of the TOTD set, and I swear I had shivers running up and down my spine. The symbolism, the music, the memories. Once in a lifetime they will do that. I agree - it seems obvious from the footage that the whole thing was a great celebration of all the time they've worked and grown together as a band. Fabulous
