    Fuck. I want my "Pearl Jam" LP. And Pearl Jam show.

    Wat songs are people looking forward to?

    Personally I wouldn't mind if they played mostly hits. But I'd love some rarities. If I happen to meet Ed before the show I'll ask him for some B-Sides.
    They may play 2 shows here (and aren't you going to Melbourne?) so yuo have a good chance of getting a nice selection of songs...

    Edit: Plus I hope our vinyl arrives in mint condition. My xmas single came just loose in a lightly padded envelope. It was heaps too big for it and you can see on the sleeve that the vinyl had been half way out during the trip. Anything could've happened and now the sleeve is not really mint which is a bit of a bummer. I think they will take more care with the album though, so don't get too worried. My RVM vinyl came a bit damaged (2 slabs of vinyl in each side of the gatefold of course it's not going to hold!) but everything else has always been fine (even Benaroya which I was most worried about).

    I think we'll be lucky to see a set that long. Part of me thinks that they'll amke up for not being here for nearly 9 years, but we'll see... But there'll definitely be some Split Enz I'd think. What I like most about PJ's live show is the length, the crowd interaction/ed's banter and the fact that you never really know what you might get (aside from a few staples). If they were like some bands that have more or less identical sets night after night, I'd have to rethink going to multiple shows this tour, no matter how big a fan I am. It'd get tired I reckon, seeing the same gig night after night.

    I'd pay for two nights of the same setlist. But how cool would it be if they played 2 completely different set for 2 nights.

    And won't they? Don't they usually?
    Sure I'd still go see them twice in NZ, but I wouldn't go to Oz for a few shows too. It'd just get a bit same old same old... and that's the last thing I'd want. It's been over 8 years since I saw them, I hope they live up to my memories. At least with allocated seating I won't get gum in my hair...

    I've never seen them so any live Pearl Jam experience with be well worth every cent.

    Two shows at Vector? Oh man, I hope I can afford both shows. I will be quitting my job before the start of next sem at Uni. I had budgeted for 1 pearl jam show, and now you guys are talking about two! Plus Cannibal Corpse will be in town in October. Aaargh. I might have to get my folks to loan me some money for this.

    Whered you get it from? Im certainly not buying Easy Street from Trademe. Fair play to the guy selling it on there, hes making a good fast buck.
    Big Wave debuted and ready for NZ.

    Did you get them both from Easy Street? My 3 copies arrived in mint condition with a lovely sticker and CD opener thing (like everyone's) and at the price of one copy on trademe!
