So....

Money is tight at the Gonzo rez these days...
After coming home and telling my wife that I just bought tickets to 2 shows for Massey Hall in August...She Freaked.

She said: "You've seen this band like 13 times already" "Why do you have to keep seeing them over and over again"?

She's been to alot of shows and knows Pearl Jam is great and all. She loves the fact that I'm such a big fan, but just thought that I was being irresponsible by spending $280.00 for tickets to Massey Hall.

So I've been kind of in the Dog House at home for the last week.

That is Until Last Night....

After watching "Love Reign O'er Me" my Wife turned to me with tears in her eyes and said...

"Wow that was like the most amazing thing I ever saw"... "I can't wait to see Eddie Vedder with you honey"!!

So Cool.

Gonzo is a happy man now thanks to Eddie and Pearl Jam and their amazing performance.

Thanks Eddie...Thanks Pearl Jam

    It was crazy.

    Seeing her get moved in that way was really something.

    The band has done that to me many times before.
    But there is nothing like seeing someone else finally get hit with that emotion.

    It's amazing how one performance of live music can change so much.

    What a band.

    I'm not the only one he moves that way. I was thinking maybe I'm a freak or something ;)

    My wife and I are long time Who Fans and LROM and Quadrophenia will always hold a special place.

    She liked Pearl Jam's studio version alot but considered it just a good cover of an already awesome song.

    But I think it floored her to actually see Pearl Jam perform the song live with so much raw emotion equal to that of The Who to fully grasp why Pearl Jam is so powerful live.

    It was cool to see.
