    My first concert was Pearl Jam at Pittsburgh in 2000 when Sonic Youth was set to open.

    Eddie came out to do a couple solo songs and announced that Kim and Thurston had to leave due to a family situation. I swear I heard a girl scream for joy at that moment.

    I on the other hand was bummed that I didn't get to see all of Sonic Youth in action, though they were still quite good minus Kim and Thurston.
    Did Lee take over all the vocal duties?

    That would be sweet. Easily the best voice in the band.

    I saw Marilyn Manson end his set early at the big day out festival in '99, after being hit by a full bottle thrown by some biker who didn't care for him and just wanted Metallica out, I wasn't happy as I was enjoying the show I mean were talking MA era Manson, top of his game, but there was quite a few fans booing and not feeling the Manson vibe.

    Also when I saw Arcade Fire last year, most of the crowd were fairly indifferent to Wildlight and Clinic the opening bands, I was rocking out to Clinic quite a bit and the two people sat next to me wern't happy got up, went to the bar and didn't come back till just before Arcade Fire came on.

    Clinic fan, awseome. Internal Wrangler is a classic.

    To change things up, Kaiser Chiefs opened for Weezer and the Foo Fighters, and the crowd, largely unfamiliar with their work, were toally in love with them by the end of the show.

    Smashing Pumpkins at Manchester Evening News Arena this year. First 2/3 of the set was good -I quite like new album and was a mixture of old classics and new stuff which went down well. Last 1/3 Billy proceeded to fanny around with extended jams, that shite acoustic ep etc and atmosphere of half full venue went flat as anything. Finished with America (I think its called) off latest album which aint that good to start with and certainly isnt when dragged out for 15 minutes, then buggered off without an encore. The masses were not amused and those still left booed em off.

    Ha ha! I was at that gig and know exactly what you mean.
    The first 75% of the gig was great. Billy seemed on form, despite the fact that the place was embarrassingly half empty. There was even some chit-chat & banter with the crowd!!!
    But the longer the night went on, you could feel Billy's mood changing and always felt there was gonna be no encore.

    On a brighter note, it worked out well for me. Had there been an encore, I'd have missed the last train home!!

    I've seen many, but don't remember. If they weren't cool enough to clap for, then they weren't cool enough to remember either.
    NERDS!

    Gnarles Barkley opened for the Red Hot Chili Peppers and no one in Washington seemed interested whatsoever in them
    by "them", you mean the red hot ? :D

    The opening act for pearl jam i nCopenhagen (2007) was the Futureheads"... it was terrible. Every song was the same and when they said "this is the last song", everybody was happy !
