Was the daughter tag "Bad" or "A Sort of Homecoming"? Because in Toronto I know Eddie played "A Sort of Homecoming" before "Small Town"

no offense, but doesn't it say Bad?

Opening band: Wintersleep

Set list: Can't Keep, Go, Even Flow, Animal, Corduroy, Nothing As It Seems, Given To Fly, Grievance, Daughter/(Bad by U2/"hey ho, let it go"/WMA), Lukin, U, Present Tense, Don't Gimme No Lip (Stone lead vocals), Better Man/(Save It For Later by English Beat), Porch (slow tempo intro/short version), Save You
1st encore: Thumbing My Way, I Am Mine, Small Town, Black, Rearviewmirror

2nd encore: Whipping, Do The Evolution, Spin The Black Circle, Last Kiss, Leaving Here(before song Ed tells story about girl getting tickets and invites her up on stage), Alive, Baba O'Riley, Yellow Ledbetter

wintersleep was definitely worth heading on into the show early for. i would recommend them to anyone. they rawk! nice to see a local canadian band open a pearl jam show in canada too!!

can't keep was a surprise as an opener but that's why i'm a fan...cause i like surprises!, and the setlist had a few. don't gimme no lip is such a fun, UP, tune. it's got Attitude! stone nailed it again. nice. always nice to get U and i am mine.

i'm a big fan of grievance so it was nice to hear that. the show had my favourite betterman tag(save it for later). porch was really short and i still am digging on the way they slowed down the opening chorus. sweet!

in the 1st set of encores the peak for me was black...during the ending part, with the crowd singing the dodododooooo parts ed did this great vocal improv that was magical....at least i think it was an improv cause i didn't recognize the words...anyways it was amazing!

the second set of encores had me doing the human pogo stick! yow!!
even last kiss was ok

the story and the girl ed brought up on stage, goes something like this...she had gone through a recent breakup and because of the breakup she now didn't have a pearl jam ticket because her ex had the pair and decided to take someone else! so ed was making fun of her ex and calling him a loser and stuff...it was really funny. hilarious! in the end she ends up with a back stage pass and then ed mentions he was going to set her up with one of the guys from wintersleep! lmfao! she was real cute too!

ed tried to blame, the almost 5 false starts on leaving here, on the band but he ended realizing that he was fucking up and not them! nice one ed! LOL

finally you ain't gonna close a PJ show any better than...Alive, Baba O'Riley, Yellow Ledbetter. period.

st john's is a beautiful city. ed mentioned george street at the show...it is something to check out(if you LOVE alcohol!). the whole city is "a buzz"

it's the biggest thing to hit the rawk in some time. 2 nights even!!


BEST BAND EVER

That show rocked!!!! and winter sleep were very good as well. I'm new to this board (although I've been a fan of PJ since they started) and this is the first show I've been privledged enough to see and it was fantastic, I hope they come back again!!! Well I have to rest up for tonight ( 2 shows in 2 nights that is nuts) Thanks for dropping in PJ

The band really seemed to be loving it and the last fucking encore was sick. When they went into Whipping I swear to God I lost my shit.

I found your shit, it was gross. If you want it back I can have that arranged.

I almost soiled myself... Fucking amazing show... my first one too, hopefully the first of many... The best was when Ed climbed the rope ladder... he was trashed, falling all over the place... crazy Vedder! Awesome show!!

As a veteran of most of the Boston shows since 1992, this was my first time seeing PJ in a foreign country...lol..I would say I almost soiled myself too when Ed started climbing that rope, it seemed like it was the early days then...lol...Set list kind of normal, but the 2nd night in the same venue usually
is better! Perhaps Sunday we will hear Dirty Frank, and maybe Sweet Lew! yeah right, but I would bet on PJ performing a few songs never heard live before. The energy in this small venue tonight was awesome too!!


Need a few asprin, before I start the day all over again and prep for night 2!!

"back, and to the left, back and to the left, back and to the left...!"

When I went thru security the guy asked me,"whats that in your pocket?"....so i said, "My camera"...he said "OK" and I walked into the building...

and it was my first show but compared to other bands I thought it was the best ever..loved it. But i know the elitists on this board will never be satisfied until they go to a show where they are the only ones who recognize any of the songs...lol

By the way, for those of you who took pictures, how did you go about smuggling in the camera? I'm thinking of just stuffing it in the crotch area.

Cameras are allowed. Don't crowd your pants.

Okay, so I cannot believe that i actually experienced what i did. So, I flew away to see them a couple of years ago in Toronto and my life was changed. But last night, the show...the music...the people, everything was amazing. The set list and the energy from the band have affected me. I've seen some good concerts but they are a distant memory.
As Eddie said, "Live From St. John's, it's Saturday Night" !!!!!!!!!

Carrie Bradshaw

So where are the pictures?!

Man, reading this is getting me so pumped for Philly.

ThumbingMyWayToNFLD

Wow...that...was...intense.

What an incredible night last night with an amazing setlist to boot. I can't wait for tonight. I'm hoping for Footsteps, Indifference and Low Light. Crazy Mary, I Believe in Miracles would be incredible, as well. I'm still suprised with the ease at which Ed got to his feet after his face plant during Baba.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I never EVER thought my favourite band would visit our little province.

I'll post some pics Monday or Tuesday after the whole weekend is over.

The Kids Are Alright

maybe eddie will do a backflip into the crowd in philly.......thatd be cool
