PJ Opener in Chicago?

Bummer... i am sorry you didn't enjoy it. whereas the rest of the band is admittedly a little stoic, Gordie is the most manic frontman i have seen. i guess he had an off night. sorry to hear it.[/quote]

Oh, he definitely had stage antics... I just found them strange. A rag is not a stage prop, and the crowd doesn't want your sweat when you're done with said rag.[/quote]

ok... as you said way back, we agree to disagree.... eddie does a very similiar "theatre" style of performance (counting 12345 in animal, making the "V" in jeremy, etc.) as gordie, albeit in a definitely more restrained way. i've seen the hip a few more times than i've seen pearl jam (liked 'em both since the early/mid-90's) i respect your view(s) and whereas i'm sorry you didn't like the Hip live, i am glad you gave 'em a shot.
