Yeah, the best set list so far, shit!!! I hope they play again "In hiding", "Long Road", "Light Years" and "Off he goes" in Mexico City.

They should have covered Dave: "Don't drink the water, here..."

OK dudes........yes Eddie was having some red wine and some tequila.........there were times I couldn't even understand when he spoke English.........but he didn't missed a note even when he sang John Lennon´s cover ( to me was perfect ) and the Spanish bit after Daughter in which the crowd sang along.

I waited more than ten years to see these guys....I have a family now.......yesterday was a Classic match between our local soccer teams........it was freezing yesterday even Eddie borrowed some sweatshirts........I waited for Once and Porch and didn't happen.......but that didn't bothered me from enjoying one of the best concerts in whole life........and yes the band was tight, spot on perfect with great energy........McCready and Eddie were my favorites.

The Concert is for the fans, they are playing the music that they know that those fans have not herd live.

We can't go back 15 years, they never had a concert in Mexico back in the 90s. I know Mexican PJ fans can stand before you and sing to you the favorites in Riot Act, Yield, Lost Dogs, just like the rest of us. The point is they've never been down there except Mexico 2003 and they are playing what they think their fans have been waiting for so long to hear.

for those who doesn't know who is " Santo ",, no, not the guy from ""sleepwalking " ( santo and Johnny ).........he is our maximum idol for mexican wrestling for all time.......he even made a long list of cheesy movies around the 60's and 70's fighting vampires and werewolves which are some kind of cult films around Asia and Europe.... man how did I enjoyed that as a kid......when Santo encountered some 1000 year old mummy that knew how to wrestle........anyway did Eddie had any idea what he was wearing?????? they throwed him a lot of stuff but I think this caught his attention.......... by the way they should release yesterday's concert in DVD or something..........

Another great Mexican Icon, that potrays the reality of many Mexican people in a funny and Innocent way.

I would love to see that happen, and I'm happy that he know about El Santo.

just a couple of thoughts about last night show before I get back to work........
I think one of the reasons PJ hasn't become extinct or as a deja vu of the 90's is because they are not mainstream..they´ll never be.....they record and perform what they feel not what the machine tells them to do.... yes I loved that they played yesterday and I was still hoping for Porch and Once.... but I also would have liked " Red Mosquito " or " of the girl " or even more Riot Act tunes. But that does not interfere with enjoying a really great show and performance. I hope to see them again......don't care if they are over 60 or something........the set they played yesterday was meant to be for Monterrey......as the other 2 they´ll play in Mexico will be totally different as Eddie himself stated yesterday. My brother in-law got some really close pics and even nailed McCready's guitar pick..... anyway they show was unbelievable can't wait to hear it again..........

He did it also in 2003 in Mexico City, so i guess he's pretty sure who Santo is.
He also has pictures wearing an Atlantis mask.

Atlantis? baaahhhh

He should wear a Blue Panther mask... or the Dr. Wagner mask with Mexico's flags colors that you have, tache.

This was my first PJ Live Concert. I had been in other concerts of important bands like U2 and The Cure, with more people than yesterday, excellent bands, but I’d never seen before a band playing music from the bottom of their heart. No paraphernalia, only a potent voice, excellent sound, amazing music.

The crowd was not big, only 6,000 people there, the reason could be because the ticket price: $68, $100 and $180 U.S. Dollar, it’s too expansive for most of the people. There wasn’t enough promotion to this concert. Also there was a Soccer Game between two teams from the city playing for the semifinal; I’m embarrassing because our people only think in soccer all the time.

Whatever, the crowd was conformed only for really jammers. I saw people from Texas, and other Mexico Cities (Saltillo, Torreon, Mexico City), all of us jumping and singing with most of the songs.
The concert started with Long Road, and then Ed salutes us with our slang “Que Onda”. Ed said that he was drunk, if that was true you must hear his voice when he’s drunk, he sings simply perfect, sound perfect in slow songs like Man of The Hour and enrgetic songs like Alive, Not for You, Lukin, Animal.

Personally I stayed in calm to hear carefully In Hiding, Green Disease and Luckin. In Hiding sounds like a good quality CD, Lukin and Green Disease are much better in concert. I couldn’t stay in calm with energetic Alive.

My wife cried when Corduroy and Black, our favorites songs… we wanted to hear Betterman. instead of that they played Off he goes, thanks to the man in the firsts row who made the petition.

Some girl throw her bra, Ed catch it and dedicated the next song to her and her Dad, the song was Daughter with amazing version of It’s Ok in Spanish, the crowd followed the song singing in our idiom.

It was a good concert, the best of my life, I’d never seen Pearl Jam before, but musically talking I’m sure that they are in their best moment.

VIVA PEARL JAM POR SIEMPRE

by the way... no posters last night, right?

flawless performance...

some other fanviews...ed said that this venue was very different from where they have been playing in this tour, so they would be playing it a slight different....they all sat for the 1st encore.....Off He Goes was a request written in a Mexican flag thrown at the stage, that Jeff placed in his amp....ed and stone played acoustic, and Mike electric...

At the end of Black, Ed sang "We belong together" but quietly..

For the 2nd encore, he said it was a freezing night.....and that the other freezing night he remembered, was also on a December many years ago, when he heard that John Lennon had been shot....and that he wonders how would it be if he would still be around....and that he is sure it would be "Better"....and then starts Hide your Love Away
Then he says the next song is for another John, and it's I Believe in Miracles..
Ed sang YL laying on the floor...
In Hiding was another request.

There were chants for every member of the band....when it was Matt's turn, he grabbed a jersey of one of the 2 soccer teams that were playing the semifinal that night, but he gets booed.....he throws it away and grabs the other one and the crowd yells.

By mainstream you mean selling out 15000 seat arenas on a nightly basis, right?

MAN!!!!! This all sounds great. A very good friend of mine went to the concert last night. I can't wait to get her insite in regards to show details. It's funny that Ed wore a mask.... I had a shirt made for her before she left with a picture from a Canadian show this year and Ed's wearing the Atlantis mask. BOY, I bet she had a GREAT TIME.... "OFF HE GOES" I can't believe it.

I was at the Mex 2003 shows, where they wore the masks. If you hear close enough during RITFW, I think Ed says something to the effect of "Santos, is victorious over Bush".....

I think he knows who Santos is
