    The other thing I am afraid of hearing after the show.

    I cant believe they let Roger Daltrey sing those 5 songs in a row! How dare they! Don't they know I paid $500 to worship Eddie Vedder!!!!!!

    Hahahahahaha

    Like PJ20...

    Chris Cornell sang 3 out of the 30 songs? I know I've talked about how cool Temple of the Dog is for 20 years but I paid for a Pearl Jam show damnit!

    This thread is like a reverse of the run-up to Cinci '06 . Lower expectations to then be blown away.

    Should be interesting how this all goes down. My biggest fear, is since it is such a small venue, The Eddie Vedder worshippers will act like they do during one of his solo shows.

    As I sit and ask my wife if she wants a beer, the guy next to me, who has had his eyes glued to Eddie Vedder for 2 hours, looks at me with hatred in his eyes and says...

    "Be quiet! Eddie Vedder is speaking!"

    Hahahahaha
    Eddie Vedder worshippers :lol:

    I would hope that an event titled "Celebrating The Who" would tip people off as to how the setlist will work. Sadly though, I think you'll be correct, at least in some cases... sigh.

    No we are not complaining.

    is it safe to discuss the actual show in this thread? or is it reserved for condescending banter?

    Same boat here. Not my fault people cant get rid of $500-$1000 tickets.

    Good Luck everyone with your ticket sales! I'll be at the show with my $70.00 balcony ticket and a $14.00 Bud Light in my hand. Have fun!
    Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. Sorry, Ted, that's a dumb question... skip that.

    There are a few sadistic people on this forum that seem to take immense pleasure in seeing people who unfortunately ended up with extras lose money and accusing them of untoward behavior. I hope they all get bad karma.

    I for one DO NOT want to see anyone lose money. Its a shame that these tickets aren't selling, especially considering the charity. Nobody here wants anyone to lose money or feel cheated.

    I am just having a little fun with PureandEasy.

    You better not show up, I'll go all Cousin Kevin on your ass. :)

    Yeah right, I've never so much as slapped someone. :). I'm getting excited.

    No more anger over this BS.

    See Speedy, I AM still concerned about that. This is about The Who and nothing else. Greatest band EVER. And hopefully PJ fans will respect what Ed is doing here, honoring the influence they played in his life.

    Actually I think it is going to work out just perfect for The Who fans.
    You will all walk in to the venue, and take the best seats in the house.
    Why?

    Because the Eddie Vedder fans will all be wandering aimlessly outside, for the 1st 45 minutes of the show, asking each other....."Hey where do we buy a poster?"

    I was just watching Ed do "Won't Get Fooled Again" at Shepherds Bush, and I'm sayin' that has to happen. I'm guessing they'll do everything that PJ has covered in the past too, just cause Ed is obviously familiar with those songs too. "Let My Love Open the Door", maybe?

    I'm also hoping for "Blue, Red, and Grey".... :)
