Just saw them for the first time, was so excited for this concert, only to be so let down. Got there bout 3 songs late, I was pisssed I missed black thumbnail. But anyways, at the end during Slow Long Slow Night, I just kept thinking about how good it sounded with vedder. Anywho, they put on a very half ass show, sure it sounded perfect to the studio album, but no improv at all. During Lolla they'll only be gettin a couple mins. Because of the Times is goin on the shelves for a while, as a matter of fact, I put in "Pearl Jam" on the way home from the show.

    thats a shame. ive seen them a handful of times in different sized venues, and they've not disappointed me yet. they were the reason i was so gusto in getting my pj tix last year. i guess every band has an off night, maybe you caught one of theirs. i hope you dont shelve them permanently. :)

    yeah I went to the Police concert at the key arena last week...very good show...but afterwards my friend (who I've turned from a pearl jam hater to a 10c member) says:

    "Yeah that was pretty good, but they were no pearl jam....man seeing Pearl Jam live really fucked me up...now its like everyone else just puts on an 'ok' show."
    "Well, I think this band is incapable of sucking."

    I know what you mean; I saw KOL a month or so ago in Seattle and I really enjoyed their show, but I felt is was pretty short at about an hour and a quarter or so. I guess I'm spoiled from all those 2.5 hours + PJ shows I've seen.

    Too bad.

    That's how I felt too. It seems like the setlist has been the same everynight.

    Black Thumbnail to open and Slow Night, So Long to close.


    All in all I heard almost everything I wanted to hear and it sounded good in that short amount of time.
    NERDS!
