    I listened to the encores this morning. Such an energetic performance. Case in point - Crazy Mary - one verse Ed just _hisses_ the line. So much emotion and the crowd is just hanging on every line. I got chills listening.

    Almost three weeks after the SD show, I am still in awe and getting goosebumps every time I listen to the Bootleg of this show. I haven't taken it out of my car cd player in weeks, and I don't think that it will ever get old. I have been to 6 PJ concerts (All in CA) but, this was by far the most energy, from the band and crowd I have seen in any concert ever! Will never forget:the 15,000 fist pumping to "Alive", Eddie up on the ladder for "Last Kiss", the "Clayton E. Ligget/Long Road Story", the most haunting rendition of "Crazy Mary", and of course the 30+ other songs! This was one truly for the fans! Must hear this boot!

    Wow, I just listened to Long Road for the first time from this show. What an awesome intro!
  • San Diego Review

    I was so busy with going to two more shows in LA after this one that I forgot to write a review!

    I originally only planned on going to the two shows in LA, but then when my flight was changed to go into San Diego, I made a quick search on TM for a single ticket. I found one behind the stage but thought I’d try to find a 10c’er with an extra to help me out. Luckily mwbeck10 had one and we actually upgraded through another member with even better seats!

    I got to SD and had trouble picking up the seats from the 10c transfer, but eventually got that worked out and received my floor tickets.

    After getting some lunch, I went back to the arena and parked (for free, how awesome is that?) and went back up to the entrance of the venue where I saw some people buying posters through the opening of the gate. I took advantage of the opportunity and got one for myself. I still say it’s a cool poster.

    This was my first time seeing Sonic Youth live, so I was very excited when they came on and played a lot of stuff from their new record.

    PJ came on to a raucous ovation and then Ed starts off “1, 2, 3.....” and the band goes into OCEANS! I had predicted it for an opener while mwbeck10 and I were tailgating in the parking ramp. :) It was the best opener I’d ever witnessed. Mostly because I was waiting so long to hear it in person and after 12 shows, I finally got it!

    BRAIN OF J was awesome!! At first I thought it was Save You because I wasn’t really paying attention so I was a bit disappointed then they kept going with B of J and once I realized what song it was, I went crazy!

    Betterman/SIFL was awesome….Ed commented on our wonderful singing voices after the first sing a long verse. “That’s fucking beautiful.”

    Satan’s Bed…holy crap, I can’t believe they played this. At first, Ed introduced it as a surf song, so I think everyone (including the screaming lunatic on the bootleg) thought it was going to be Big Wave. Then they launched into the funky intro that is Satan’s Bed and people went nuts!

    It’s been said a lot, but the story Ed told along with Long Road for the first encore was amazing.

    Then, Crown of Thorns…I’d never thought I’d hear it again after Chicago 2. I’m glad I was wrong. :)

    BIG WAVE! Nice to have the live premiere of a song on my PJ fan resume.

    Rockin’ was good, but Kelly Slater looked out of his element. That’s fine, we were rockin’ too hard to notice.

    The arena was pretty cool. I’d never been to one like it where the concessions were outside. Plus, being on the floor, we were close to the concessions and restrooms in the back where one could pick up a beer very quickly. :) This was one of the loudest crowds at a PJ show that I’ve been a part of. (Winnipeg and Minneapolis probably were still louder than SD)

    What a great show overall! There were rarities, favorites, tears, and laughs! Top 3 show out of 15 for me!

    Oh yeah, almost forgot...thank you, woman who was wearing almost nothing for being at the show and sitting behind the stage. :)
    No longer overwhelmed it seems so simple now.

    Run away my son. See it all. Oh see the world.
  • So finally I get to put my fanview...

    The 7/7 show was my first PJ show and was also my friends. My pops had his 10C tickets, (I'm in the 10C now, San Diego 08 i'm waiting) and I was off to McCreadys side up top, but this is Pearl Jam and i could care less.

    So to start the day off I went down to the beach on a typical day here, (Ed makes a comment about that) and enjoyed the water and caught some rays trying to burn time off before the show. So on my way home I see a truck with Pearl Jam painted on their windows and we both acknowledged each other thought that was pretty damn cool seeing someone who is gonna be at the show and shares the same love of the same band who is visiting your city.

    Anyways, at this point in my life my Pearl Jam knowledge was limited to Rearviewmirror and various bootlegs, so I did not know nearly as many songs as I do now.

    So the show starts, i'm extremely pumped, and Oceans comes on, I don't know this song but who cares, it's my first live PJ song...

    Next is Severed Hand, but i'm still waiting for one of the big hits...Corduroy does it. For me the show started with Corduroy, once it was over i'm just starving for another big song and for me being not a hardcore fan yet that came with Even Flow. Great, but I was still awaiting something more...

    Betterman/Save it for Later - Well, this I guess I could say is the something more, at least at this point, the feeling of singing a whole verse with 12,000 other people only to have Eddie Vedder say "that's fucking beautiful" is unbelievable...

    Inside Job and Life Wasted back to back are high points for me as those are two of my favorite cuts off of Avocado...

    Rearviewmirror- what do i say? Jammed for over 10 minutes, couldn't ask for more...

    The show is definitely on...and Long Road gives the crowd and myself time to cool down...only to be brought back again by the song dedicated to "those one liquor store kind of towns", and for me Small Town and Crazy Mary are sort of synonymous and when i think of them i think of the same sort of setting, so hearing these back to back was something else...

    I get a Crown of Thorns "break", until what me and my friend had been waiting for...as soon as the opening riffs of Alive came on we high fived and went nuts and so did the rest of the crowd, just crazy involvement crowd everyone was singin Ed was up on the Amps along with Mike...couldn't have asked for a better Alive as my first one...

    At this point, I am thinking what else could they possibly play to make the night better?

    Last Kiss - Great song to hear once, wouldn't care to see it again but Ed climbing the ladder on my side was pretty cool

    Finally, we get to RITFW with Kelly Slater, lights on everyone singin along knowing the night is done, but to get Yellow Ledbetter also with the Star Spangled Banner at the end just topped off a night i'll never forget...

  • I was there what a great show.Also went to the two shows at the Gorge.Would have to say the two shows at the gorge were better due in part to the location
  • The performances of Corduroy, Betterman and Crazy Mary are my favorite from the tour. I listen to them constantly.

    What an unbelievable night.

    coming up on 3 years later, still is the best concert ever~~~Best boot of the 100 or so I have heard, and we are all ready for Pearl Jam to rock Diego again soon!
  • Even after 5 years, this show is still my favorite show of the 17 I've been too, even the Gorge. Was just listening to Long Road and thought I'd bump this, for Clayton Ligget.
