    I was finally able to compose my thoughts and get them onto paper last night.
    You can check out a rather lengthy review of the Spokane show I wrote for Audiohammock here:

    Also, we were able to get a photo pass so we got some great shots of the band during the first three songs. A few are posted on the article and I will try to get all of them up on Imgur.

    Thanks again Pearl Jam, Steve Gleason, the crew, and the PJ community for such a wonderful occasion. I celebrated life fully that night and will be high on life for days to come.

    loved the setlist..the crowd...not so much. No energy, no singing along, no dancing, no jumping (besides the fight in the pit). Tried to make conversation, but they were not friendly.

    Great to finally meet a Kiwi and a really sweet Canadian. :D
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    I made lots of friends that night, from all over, really. Both in line and in the crowd. We danced and sang our asses off, too.

    I met a lady outside of the arena who told me she was disappointed they didn't play more of the earlier stuff. I'm pretty sure they played around 80% of Ten and I wanted to tell her she was crazy.

  • Anybody get the dread dude's name? Our local news wants to talk with him.
    . . . and in the aching night under satellites, I was not received. --CC

    My homeboi made an appearance on his 20th birthday because of Steve Gleason's awesome taste.

    Thank you Steve!

  • Had a great time! I thought the crowd was great and was singing along loudly. I was on the floor in GA though, so it might have been that all of the sound was directed at me. It seemed like the band was having fun too and that always makes the shows worth going to.
  • I attended both the Oakland and Spokane shows and really enjoyed both shows. For me, the most powerful moment of those shows is EV's acoustic version of I Won't Back Down - simple and heartfelt. He captured the audience. Yet, the focus was on Steve Gleason. Very memorable for me.

  • I have seen them over 25 times over two decades in many countries and US cities,....that was near the top of them all....absolutely spectacular energy...Ed was the most pumped I have ever seen him...great energy Spokane!! lets see what happens in Seattle in two nights! PJ is genuinely one of the greatest rock bands of all time and this show exemplified why! Rock on PJ fans--you are the best!

  • Spokane...?.?.. I never would have thought that after seeing the band so many times I have long lost count, that the show in Spokane would remain in my mind as the best I have ever attended. I waited a few days to consider if the euphoric feeling I left the small arena with remained . Indeed. after four days... It IS In my thoughts the most well rounded, perfectly executed and, most importantly, passionate performance I can recall. I remain so proud of our local boys that have spread so much love, compassion, and energy to everyone in Seattle and around the planet.... STILL ALIVE ! :!:

    Still trying to wrap my head around how amazing this show was. I brought my best friend to Spokane for her first PJ show and I couldn't have asked for a better show to devirginize her! She joined 10c as soon as she got home and we're both jonesing to go to more shows together already. Simply amazing crowd, incredible energy, and topped off with a gem of a setlist. Just breathtaking.

  • This was my girlfriends first show as well, and she was absolutely blown away! From Steve Gleason's setlist to the Dreadlock Jam/ haircut, this is one I will never forget. We drove down from Calgary and would do it again in a heartbeat. They need a Gorge show this summer!!
