actually i can see at how the beginning of the version from night 2 he sounds a bit drony. still, he sounds awesome these days. he's come back hard vocally since the rough couple years in the 00's.
Ok, two more favorites from Sunday night - Throw Your Hatred Down and Heart of Gold (I love Pearl Jam for allowing their performances to remain on YouTube!) The first one shows Mike and Neil tag-teaming on guitar:
p.s. - I did not mean to disrespect CC or anyone who appreciates his talent. I made an observation not just from how he appeared during the grand finale song, but from how he looked side stage and walking onto stage etc...
I have come close to a 'Life Wasted' a few times myself, and many of my nearest and dearest also struggle with addiction. My intention was not all to judge him or criticize his talent - I simply felt compassion for the guy. Some of our world's greatest talent have been consumed by the disease of addiction and I hope my perception of him was wrong.
Here's to peace and enjoying the music. Oh yeah, and GO SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS!!!!
Wish I had been @ the Bridge . But it's a long way from oz. My brother went. He had a great time, he's been a Neil fan for so long. Loved PJ sitting, playing acoustic style.

My dream vacation would be to visit Australia along with PJ and EV solo tours. At Bridge I met a gal from Canada who traveled with a friend to the show and we both agreed nothing beats combining vacation with your favorite performance art. An acoustic PJ tour Benaroya Hall style would be awesome.
