    Good times and good show. A little disappointed they didn't do anything off Down on the Upside. I was really surprised with the band, and how good they were. The drummer was great and had some good drum solos. It was maybe worth the price alone just to hear Say Hello to Heaven. I never thought I'd get to hear Temple of the Dog live in my lifetime.

    Say Hello and Slaves and Bulldozers were highlights for me. Nice hanging with you guys last night. We had to bug out a little early since we had a babysitter waiting for us. All in all, and damn good show.

    glad you guys had fun.
    Patrick, I'm glad you got to see him. Too bad he didn't show up in Denver, but hey, I hope he got some nice designer jeans out of it.
    Chris Cornell is an ASSHOLE, I'm glad Pearl Jam is my favorite band!

    I was just wondering, has anyone in Pearl Jam EVER postponed 2 shows on a tour to play a designer jeans party?

    get over it man. yeah, it sucks, but its a business and shit happens. ticket sales have been shitty in milwaukee and chicago, so I'm happy they havent canceled these shows because of it. Milw was offering free admission with 2 drink-minimum and TM is selling half price tickets for tonight, so it must be bad.

    90% of the Rave/Eagles shows have 2 drink minimum tickets... If he would have cancelled due to low ticket sales, that would be at least a valid reason... A fucking DESIGNER JEANS show? How much of a diva does he need to be? Last solo tour Chris came to Milwaukee, I had front row seats, then he changed the venue because of low ticket sales, all GA... I understood, didn't care, but this is not a valid reason!

    I'm not saying its a valid reason, and I agree that it sucks. Isnt he part owner in some fashion company? I want to say that I read that a while back. even so, its not cool to cancel a show for paying fans for a BS reason like this.

    my point was more to get over it. everyone understands that it sucks, but posting that he is an asshole in every Cornell-related thread is annoying.

    moving on...

    Great show. High energy. Place was cool, but kind of a dump. It was raining outside, and the roof was leaking in several places. it actually was raining on stage. I thought they would have to stop the show, but luckily it stopped.

    Wish he would have played Seasons.

    Let's see there was bats flying around during last nite's show. And tonight's show the roof was leaking. Whoever picked the venues is doing a great job. hehe Glad it was a great show. :)
