    fine. He could read fom the damn phone book if he wants, I'm happier than a pig in sh-

    we got pearl jam, baby!!!!!! I have never missed a south florida show. It's been way too long. Don't know if they were avoiding us because:

    1. south Florida audiences traditionally suck

    2.it's a red state (all the more reason to play here!)

    3. a guitar was stolen last time they were here

    probably a combo, but us die hards couldn't be happier now. This time I'm taking the 14 year old son of a co-worker who is just getting into rock and learning guitar.he's never been to a rock concert. the kid is in for a real treat!

    If Gone opens it up, I will get up from my seat, find my rental car, and fly back home.

    Okay, I wouldn't do that, but Gone really sucks.

    Noodles: Dont sell yourself short. Florida crowds may have sucked but ive never been to a florida show so expect that to change ;) and Gone would make a HORRIBLE opener...


    Im not the greatest fan of it anyhow, but as an opener, might ruin the rest of the show for me ..



    Fuck it, im just happy to be goin at this point!

    Breakerfall might be cool.

    Leash would be sick. Start off with a bang.

    Gone? Should have been left the album in my book. Actually, I think the Ed solo version of this would have worked with the Into The Wild soundtrack.

    Breakerfall doesn't have enough kick for my taste to start off the show. It is a tweener song. It isn't a cool slow opener like Release, and isn't a kick you in the teeth song with a fast start like Go or DTE. I think it has to do with just the one guitar going at the beginning. Just seems quiet for about 8 seconds, like you are waiting for the song to start.

    Gone would not be a good choice, i agree. it's not my favorite song from that album. Why dont they open with something that just bursts out of the gate, like blood? that would be awesome!

    really? I had aske someone why they haven't played down here in so long, and they said his guitar was stolen last time. i didn't belive that would be the only reason, though.

    It's easy to grin, When your ship comes in, And you've got the stock market beat. But the man worthwhile, Is the man who can smile, When his shorts are too tight in the seat
