    anybody see the review in kerrang, i had a quick read in the shop, they gave the show 4k's and said it sold out in minutes even with the band getting no airplay or anything, but only sold out because they promised to play song off of backspacer, and that only the old classics like even flow, and alive got the crowd reaction, and that the crown was getting bored and restless with the obscure songs, that they may not have recognised, and that the set was not flowing great with too many slower - rare songs to stop the flow.

    now the reviwer didn't say it in those excact word, but from my quick read thats the impression that i got he was trying to say.. he did say it was a great show although, but i was left thinking... was he even there... were the crowd getting bored, and only reacting to the known song, maybe at the back, but not where i was standing...

    anybody else read this and get a different interpritation than me, i mean maybe i read into it wrong.

    I thought the same as you. seemed like they weren't at the show !!! seemed esp. odd compared to Kerang review from SBE the wk before where they couldn't praise PJ enough!
    only good thing was emma in the "is this u" pic :lol:

    For anyone interested, my thoughts on this one are there: http://inzyster.blogspot.com/2009/08/pearl-jam-london-18-aug-2009.html

    For anyone not interested: the show of my life. I honestly doubt that anyone (maybe except Pearl Jam themselves) will ever top that. I treasure every little moment of it, and looking through photos, youtube and the bootleg I am getting more and more certain that I will never take back what I just wrote.
    I will never forget that evening, and I believe that neither will anyone who has been there.
    Thank you, Pearl Jam.

    Just read your blog. I agree with everything you've said in it. Except, I cried at Light Years.

    This looks like it is from official Pearl Jam channels. Are we looking at a DVD release of this gig?
    The comment says a preview of things to come... :D

    Maybe Pearl Jam could push the boundaries a little and release DVD's of each show... now that is just being greedy!

    Here is Supersonic from that same gig:

    It's not official!! Come on mate you know an official release would be faaaaar better than that! The audio is nice for an audience recording, better than the first source to surface, but it's obviously not soundboard. The whole thing is an audience 2 + 1 psuedo cam shot (the crowd shots are from the same cam that's up in the seats, just patched over).

    It's exciting though, and I hope that when / if the official bootleg is released, they use the audio from that for this bootleg. Fair play to the guy who stood on the floor filming though... his arm must have been hurting :D Maybe he was at the very bottom of the seating? Wonder if they got the whole show...

    Is that PJTour2008 channel just some guys doing there own thing on youtube and not official PJ? I'm pretty ignorant to that sort of thing...
    we're all going to the same place...

    Definitely not official but really good ! Especially the crowd cam... I'm wondering if they will be posting more songs from the gig... it will be great if they can post the whole show!

    thanks for the link. anyone know why it starts with immortality when the gig started with Release? Release is in at 48 mins. its like the boot starts two thirds of the way through the first set and ends with the first third? !

    still, awesome.

    Rats was immense live, plus the ever amazing Porch. When they played Light Years UI cried the whole way through, takes me back to losing my Grandad. Better than the SBE gig as I could see! Thank you so much PJ xxxxx
