    Just got home and still wrapping my mind around this. Ok, so i know these guys are talented... PJ has been my favorite band for years and SG has always been in my rotation... but this show really lets them showcase their skills in a way i have never seen them before. Mike was on fire, Matt Fucking Cameron jesus christ i cant even get into what he did, jeff was well he was jeff but more subdued and focused than i tend to see, stone looked like he was having more fun than any PJ show ive seen, and Cornell he brought it i mean wailed like he was possessed one second and serenading us like an angel the next. Sorry if im babbling but it was just so so good.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me

  • Great show last night. Very nice floor seats thanks to Ten Club! Cornell was fantastic. Pretty funny tonight with his ramblings about how they have been practicing for 25 years now and finally think they got it right. Like many have already mentioned, the highlight of the show was McCready. He was in the zone last night and channeling some good stuff! Not sure if it was just my seats, but the sound was not great. Not sure how well the soundcheck went but was hard at times to hear Cornell. They seemed to clean it up though after the 1st set.

    The crowd "sing along" for Hunger Strike was fantastic. Times of Trouble was beautiful. And to see them go from Zeppelin, to Bowie, then to The Cure showed just how talented these guys are.

    I know it is a small gripe, but that was the best tour shirt they could come up with? The album cover on a black shirt or simple purple text on a grey shirt? At least I saved myself $35 there.

    Amazing show! No special appearances from any 'LA Friends' or the elusive EV, but it was fantastic nonetheless obviously.

    The whole TOTD album, most of my favorite MLB songs, River of Deceit, Seasons, and of course those great covers! Negrito was a really good opener too.

    The only bummer (besides no EV who I wasn't expexting anyway) was no Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns. They have to save somethong special for Seattle I suppose.

  • The show was amazing and that's no surprise! Thank you TenClub for the great floor seats and so glad u had chairs (not bc I actually sit but bc it's nice to have a space to claim my own). Missed you EV, hope to see Pearl Jam sooner than later.

    Kind of funny that through the years at Pearl Jam shows it was always a hope Chris Cornell would appear as a surprise guest for Hungerstrike. I was fortunate to see happen it 4 times (Santa Barbara 2003, LA 3 2009, PJ20 Nights 1,2) Now its people hoping to luck out and see Eddie play with Chris. The way Chris said Eddie is not with us "tonight" leads me to believe he will hit the last Seattle show, as payback to Chris for all his special appearances. Plus waiting till the end means you get it on a live Blu-ray and don't have the distraction of people calling for Eddie all show taking away from the other musicians.

  • I agree PJammer4life. It was not at all about EV last nite and had no expectations of seeing him but couldn't help myself from bringing his name up on my comment above bc it is a PEARL JAM site

    I totally agree! They were as tight as could be and it helped not expecting to see EV... I felt like the audience was very present and rode the wave they took us on!

    Fucking amazing show. I was psyched as soon as the tour was announced, but had no idea they would sound THIS good after only a few shows together. Cornell's voice was mesmerizing and it was very easy to see that Stone, Jeff, Mike, and Matt were having a blast. As much as I love PJ's music and shows, I don't think I've seen those guys on fire as much as I did last night. Nothing will top a PJ gig but this was a great experience and getting to see the "rest" of the band shredding with Cornell will always be a treasured PJ memory.

    Highlights were War Pigs, Reach Down, Call Me a Dog, Man of Golden Words, Times of Trouble, River of Deceit (!) and of course Say Hello 2 Heaven and Hunger Strike.

    Also a big thank you to the 10 Club for amazing seats. 7th row dead center. Best seats I've ever received from the fan club, by far. (I'm 198xxx).

    Agreed that the shirts left something to be desired but I rationalized buying one by reminding myself that fashion in the 90s as a whole left something to be desired so maybe that was the intent? ;)

    Hopefully if he does show up in Seattle he attends both shows. Obviously him being there steps things up another notch with the real live version of Hunger Strike. I would know I'd be a little bummed if I found out he went to the Seattle show I didn't managed to score tickets for :(

  • Show was tremendous. I think Matt is always incredible but he was rediculously great last night. These songs really showcase his talent.

    Chris did an incredible job on Man of Golden Words. River of Deceipt was awesome.
    Achilles Last Stand and War Pigs blew me away.

    Sure would love this one on an official bootleg!
