It was SO awesome - got to hear smile - that was tops! Nick coming on stage a la TB2K style was really really cool. I jsut hope that the kid will appreciate that he was on stage with the greatest band in the world.
"I am ahead, I am advanced, I am the first man to borrow Stones leather pants."
Stone Gossard: Is the height of fashion. More poeple should take note, and learn from a master
Maybe it is because i am more experienced in seeing gigs now but i think i was more blown away by seeing Pearl Jam last night than i was the first time. The band seems to be getting better with age. Seemed to have a lot more energy and stage presence than 2003.
The new songs came off very well live (particularly Inside job -- loved Mike's double neck guitar [hello Jimmy Page
Was happy to see songs that i didn't see last time such as Last Exit, Smile and Animal. Didn't see Green Disease coming at all
I think the most impressive thing for me was that after seeing so many gigs since seeing them last tour, they can still wow we (and at times give me chills) so they must be doing something right. I may not listen to Pearl Jam as much as i used to and i seem to be into heavier, more technical and more progressive music these days but while ever the band is trying to write new and interesting material and continuing to mis it up life then i will continue to see them when they tour.
Oh and do i really need to say anything about Matt's Drum solo during Evenflow *astounded*. I'm so glad the band has given him the opportunity to do this since is is clearly the band's (if not the whole grunge scene's) most talented and technically proficient member IMO
I still can't get the smile off my face. Going to Newcastle tonight I hope so much that they play Dissident and In Hiding. I also saw the boys at Brisbane1 they rocked, but I don't think it was as good as last night.
If they do play Dissident and In Hiding, that would be my Pearl Jam experience fulfilled. Maybe if they open the set with Long Road and their first encore with Release or visa versa.
Can't wait til tonight, see you all there.
One last thing. In Yellow Ledbetter, who was the kid on the side of the stage with the headphones on that Ed said good night to? If you were looking at the stage he was on the left hand side with I guess his Mum.
Split Endz and Midnight Oils covers at one Aussie show how awesome is that!!!! One of the better sets this tour a killer show by the sounds of things...
Sha la la la i'm in love with a jersey girl
I love you forever and forever

I agree with every word you say - brilliant- have fun in newcastle sooo jealous!!!
I actually cried when they walked off stage cause I knew I wasn't going to get to see them again for ages :-(
i'll keep takin' punches until their will grows tired
i will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind
hey i won't change direction, and i won't change my mind
how much difference does it make
I'm no dude! Dudette!
The Beds are Burning tag on Daughter and I Got You would have done it for me! This was a pretty solid setlist.
Edit: I always forget the thread is for people in attendance
This show WAS unbelievable.
The crowd WAS the best I have ever seen at ANY concert EVER!
The first part of the show (up to the first encore) is THE most energetic I have ever seen this band. It's like they had a point to prove.
From the point where Ed came out with Kings of Leon the show was mapped out...They were going to WOW the crowd.
Awesome setlist.
Sure there was less people at this one than at Sydney 1 and 2 but this show topped Sydney 1...which I thought was awesome too.
Everybody up on thier feet dancing, singing, chanting, yelling....a truly amazing performance from the best rock band of this generation!
Allow me to say...Thank you Pearl Jam, Sydney adores you
i was clapping in excitement......eagerly awaiting the opening chord.......i heard thast openijg chord alright......except it had a different rhythm and a different pitch........and it sounded strangely like betterman......now bettermans a good song...........
but i blame Sydney 2 for having a generic opening like betterman on our last nnight BOOOOOOOOOO
Cummon.. how could you complain after that show.
Of the 6 times I have seen them, that would have to be THE BEST of the lot.
The atmosphere was amazing.
The band are in fine form.
Perth and Adelaide are in for a hell of a ride.....

Awesome, thanks for that, I can see myself behind Luke the Uke!!!!!
Ed: Canberra 15-03-11 - Sydney 19-03-11
Thank you guys...Hope to see you again soon.
A special special 1st Encore I hope it comes across on the boot as good as it sounded.
Finished 4 gigs at Newcastle last night 9th row in front of Mike.AHHHH Memories..
Thought the ploy of opening with Better Man was great to get the crowd involved from the beginning.
Last Exit, Green Disease were fantastic. Heared Inside Job for the first time which sounded awesome.
Smile was farkin great - just not expected at all.
My brother said to me before we went in, 'if Neil Finn gets up there and sings Ill die'. Well close to it...I got You by Split Enz and the look on his face was just priceless. I thought at this stage that it couldnt get any better then....
The little grommit on Eds shoulders nearly had me in tears and wasnt he getting into it. Whoever you are young lad - Ill remember you up there for a long time.
Ill put it second on the list behind Newy and just in front of Syd 1
From what I can gather, I think it's fair to say that every city in Australia that Pearl Jam played to/are going to play to adore them. No one city over any other. We have been very lucky to get so much of them and I'll never forget the 3 concerts I went to as long as I live. Saw U2 on Saturday night and although they were incredible, I still prefer PJ over them. PJ rock, they can do no wrong!!!! And I will definitely be there waiting for them when they come back, however long it is.
and the expression on his face .. he looked as though he was just about to burst with excitement. Ed gave him a big hug at the end too.
How lucky is that kid - who wouldn't want a hug from Ed!!

I actually remember seeing that boy (I remember the T-shirt he was wearing) walking through the crowd with his parents that night just before we went in to the Arena and I was thinking "how cool is that, he's come with his parents".
i wasn't there but i'm posting anyway. i live in sydney so that counts for something.
beds are burning i would have loved to have heard this.
smile. gone. jeremy. you really do have to see pj more than once on a tour.
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
