    Those other bands are just average or good rock bands. The Who and Pearl Jam are 2 of the all-time greatest rock bands to exist, so they will always blow other bands off the stage. It wasn't a competition but if it were, Ed and the guys would have been holding up the throphy. There is no match at this time in history for them.

    Totally agree! (holding #1 finger in the air)

    Everyone else is just playing for second place.

    I heard a lot of people after the show saying that now they wanted to see a PJ show.

    I don't agree that Incubus and the Foos are average bands, especially if you've ever seen Incubus live, they're amazing. Okay not in PJ's league but lets face it not many are for us on here. I've read some positive reviews of Incubus' performance at this gig, certainly more positive than the rest, obviously not including PJ and the Who themselves.
    My PJ shows:
    London 28/10/96, Las Vegas 11/7/98, London 29/5/00, Nurnburg 11/6/00, Prague 14/6/00, Salzburg 18/6/00, Verona 20/6/00, Milan 22/6/00, Zurich 23/6/00, New York 8-9/7/03, Boston 11/7/03, Reading Festival 27/8/06, Shepards Bush 11/8/09, Berlin 15/8/09, Manchester 17/8/09, London 18/8/09, Dublin 22/6/10, Belfast 23/6/10, London (HRC) 25/6/10, Alpine Valley (PJ20) 3-4/9/11, Manchester 20-21/6/12, Leeds 8/7/14, Milton Keynes 11/7/14 To be continued....

    Incubus and the foos ARE great. Brandons got a voice like no other. He couldve wore somn a little bit more.....presentable but whatever! And Dave is just a good ol friendly rockstar!!! ALL the bands were good.

    I saw Incubus live last year for the first time, and it was amazing. They played the Festival Pier in Philly. PJ could not play there as it's a bit small. Incubus was quite good, though. Very energetic and sounded very tight. I would definitely recommend checking them out sometime. For one of their previous tours they pulled a page from PJ's book and released official bootlegs.

    I thought Incubus did an excellent job with "I Can See for Miles". But Brandon definitely needs a wardrobe consultant and a cheeseburger. Dave Grohl has bronchitis so I give the Foo's a pass. I love the Flaming lips (they produce some of the greatest beats) but Wayne's voice live has declined in the past couple years.

    And I have to say that Roger's voice is terrible compared to 20 years ago. Years of screaming have killed his throat. He now sounds terrible live. Lots of squeaking and cracking in Roger’s voice. Some people keep there voice Neil Young, David Crosby, Paul McCartney while others loose it Roger, Stills, Nash

    It's almost as if Neil Young and The Who got married and had a kid called Pearl Jam...

    They are definately in a leauge of their own these days. Pearl Jam are not only one of the best live bands around today...but ever.

    They along with The Who in their hayday are in a rare catagory that includes very few.

    As for their performance on VH1

    There can never be any doubt that there is nobody better suited to sing The Who (other than Roger Daltry) than Eddie Vedder. I mean..The man litterly lived and breathed Quadrophenia as a kid. It should be no suprise to anyone here that Eddie and the boys would knock these songs out of the park.

    I think this may be their greatest TV moment and one that they'll be remembered for down the road. I can see these clips being showed in future documentarys and disscussions about their carreer in the years to come.

    Later
