    fuck ya! Vedder was a fucking maniac that night, jumping and spinning around the stage and he sounded the best i have ever heard him live . Great fuckin show and the crowd was incredibly loud throughout the entire set

  • I was at this show as well (made the road trip from Cleveland!) What a nice memory on this otherwise sad anniversary.

    Rock on...

  • Damn....what a good time that weekend in Canada was, I now have a couple dozen great new friends to show for it!

    And two of them now have a little one that was conceived in Kitchener that weekend....

    ''The Beer Store'' another fun memory. Coolers lite was on sale I remember. Also discovered Stella Artois Belgium beer, good stuff. :)

    Oh yea and the shows was great also, the start of 5 shows in a row. :)

    couldnt agree more. i spent today listening to kitchener. me and my friend brendan spent 8 hours driving up from long island. great trip involving, pot-tea, pepto-bismol and jelly on wheat. we listened to the gorge acoustic set when we drove off round 6am. lowlight hit as the sun rose. (as opposed to setting at the actual show) it was hard enough finding a beer store once in canda, however we were finally able to secure a twelve of moosehead, only for the box to break once walking to the hotel (not the walper but right across from it)
    and once at the pre-party we were fortunate enough to meet some beautiful people. ESPECIALLY the lovely laura (quoted above)
    this night was soo special just being the first night and being in such a small venue. maybe a more typical set, but very strong at the same time and certainly and incredible crowd. im soo thankfull to have been there. it definitely took me far away from what happened a few miles west of here 4 years earlier (5 years ago today). this is my first post in weeks (possibly months). its good to be back. i look forward to posting tomorrow bout the great night i had a year ago (9/12/05 london)!
    till then

    You know, last night in Paris, I was next to exactly the same person (Mexican touring buddy) as I was in Kitchener 365 days before that. That was so cool. I didn't know I would meet him and then suddenly there he was. Hearing Hide Your Love Away really took me back to what was the first song I ever saw Eddie perform. :)

    Haha. Everything is different now. I haven't been to a PJ show since 2006!!! My daughter is 4 now. I miss the smell of beer in the morning.

    Maybe I am itching for a real Pearl Jam tour. Maybe.

  • 1st of 5 shows in a row for us locals...maybe it was 6...

    That tour was the coolest thing that the band ever did for us people who don't like crossing the border for shows ;)
  • What a great vacation that was! Kitchener, London, Hamilton.... three nights - three concerts. Man were we tired the day after Hamilton.

    Loved the Walper Terrace Hotel, had a blast at the pre-party and post-party. Met some new people who have since become good Pearl Jam friends.

    Remember the hotel in London - all of those people hanging out in the lobby waiting for the manager to let us check in? Oh but it was worth it.

    Remember it? I seem to recall you laying into him quite a bit. ;)

    I actually had his card at my desk until a few months ago...I always intended to write or call to complain.

    My first show :) I didn't meet up with anyone though, sorry.
    Happiness is only real when shared
  • I need to weigh in here too.....what a couple nights I/we all had hanging out before during and after the Kitchener/London shows!

    Perhaps my best PJ roadtrip ever.

    Oh yeah, I had forgotten about my tirade. I too had intentions to complain to "higher ups" but when we checked out he was all humble and apologetic and made me feel sorry for him so I never followed up.
