    My cousin Sean was the inspiration for myself and the rest of my family to get into this band. He was the oldest cousin of ours and opened our eyes to this religion that we call Pearl Jam. He passed away in 2007 and it was devestating to our family.

    My brother and I ran into Mike early in the day and had a nice chat with him about the city, jobs, and The Bow River. Before he left, I explained to him what I said above, and told him that Deep was Seans favorite song and that he never got to hear it live, and that we were wondering if there was any chance they could play it tonight while all of our cousins were at the show. Not only did they play it, as well as dedicate it to Sean, they did the same with Light Years as well. What an absolute surreal moment for all of us at the show tonight. That is something we will never ever forget, and something we will cherish forever.

    Thank you so much guys.

    Pearl Jam have just soundly kicked my ass twice in the last three days! (And I highly suspect they'll do it again on Friday in Edmonton.)

    Absolutely unbelievable show tonight! Words just can't describe it. Crazy excellent crowd and the whole band was so into it! Ed's definitely feeling better because his voice was outstanding. Went with my friend and used his 10C number and he won the lottery so it was row 9 center for us. Thanks 10C! So many highlights tonight but my top one has to be the REM tribute. Beautiful version of a beautiful song. Must have this boot soon!!!

    Incredible story nothingman4. LIght Years was perfect tonight.

    Love the poster! :D
    E agora? Faz xixi na mão e deita fora!

    My favorite PJ show ever! Fantastic set list and amazing performances!

    Been waiting, wanting, gnawing for "Rats" live for 18+ years...and finally got it on the night I "won the lotttttterrrrry..." with 2nd row 10C seats. When the lady at the 10C booth said "Oh, you've got amazing tickets...2nd row" I couldn't believe it.

    Thank you, thank you PJ and 10C, tonight is etched in my "Brain of J" forever...

    how much of the rem song did they play?

    The entire thing. First two-thirds was just Ed on acoustic guitar, then the rest of the band joined in.

    Wish I was there to hear that! As someone else said before, rest in peace REM!! Awesome band!

    Looking at the setlist alone, this is probably the best of the tour. It's nice to see that the shows keep getting better as the tour progresses.
