    It was a festival I think..

    If Pearl Jam wasn't compressed by time, or it was their show only, they would have a normal setlist. Not too many songs, but every night is something different, not many, or if any band does that. Need more dates for TX please!!!

    Can't wait to hear how this was. Nice that Pearl Jam is still surprising us. I hope they got Stone's guitar sounding right for this one!

    Why Go, Corduroy, Got Some, Not For You (Modern Girl), Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town, Given to Fly, World Wide Suicide, Even Flow, Unthought Known, Daughter (WMA), Hail Hail, Insignificance, Present Tense, State of Love and Trust, The Fixer, Go, Jazz Odyssey, Red Mosquito (w/ Ben Harper), Do the Evolution, The Real Me, Alive, Mountain Song (w/ Perry Farrell), Rockin in the Free World

    The show was fantastic. Full of raw energy. Very memorable show. Ed spoke several times. The band was tight. Following Red Mosquito, Ed asked the crew member to 'hold up' so he could show the crowd the stool he was sitting on. He said he's been using it since 95, anytime he sits down on stage. He lifted it up to show the crowd it had a UT Longhorn logo on it. The band sounded amazing. Ed mentioned how large the crowd was. He also referenced the burn unit in San Antonio for veterans of Iraq an Afghanistan - he mentioned having 100 service men and women present at the show, who were watching the band on stage left. The band thanked them. Ed said the band had been in Austin over the last 3 days and were thankful for the many gifts they had received while here....he said that he wasn't going home until he was as muddy as the crowd (the festival grounds were completely covered in mud). Ed talked about how good The Dead Weather and Crooked Vultures were. This was our first ACL Festival. It was so well done. Cap Metro did a phenomenal job with the shuttles. Ed talked about how they filmed a session of the Austin City Limits television show while in town.

    I'm crushed! I had to give up ACL Tickets because of a financial setback. I haven't seen PJ since I moved here from Cali several years ago. Please guys come to Dallas soon. I MISS YOU!

    Had I been following this show online, instead of 50 feet from Mike McCready, I probably would have had the following reaction:

    Ho Hum. Greatest Hits setlist. Yawn.

    But, as we all know, there's just something different about being there. Even the songs you've heard dozens of times before can sound new and fresh, and make you feel like the first time you heard them.

    And sometimes, it's good to go back to your first love, and remember that thing that made us all fall in love with this band so many years ago. It wasn't because we liked "Dirty Frank." It was because we liked "Alive." Greatest hits are hits for a reason, after all.

    So, though I would have loved to hear some rarities (or at least Off He Goes, dammit), and though the set was woefully short on Backspacer songs, I can't say I was disappointed.

    Sometimes, it's better to have 75,000 people scream "Hello" or pump their fists to the "Alive" outro, then to have 74,500 people stare blankly at "Bee Girl."

    All the old songs were just great. And it was nice to be reintroduced to them again. Loved "Not For You." Loved "Hail, Hail." Loved, loved, loved "Present Tense," which is turning into a greatest hit over the last few tours.

    It had been 14 years since Pearl Jam last rocked Austin -- too long, Ed noted ("What the fuck were we thinking?") I couldn't help but approach the show with a little bit of nostalgia, to step back and pretend I was seeing this band for the first time. It was just cool to see Stone and Jeff, practically nose-to-nose, jamming out on Alive -- a song they'd been playing together since before it was even called "Alive."

    Speaking of Stoney ... what has gotten into that guy? It started last year at the Rock Honors ... he actually started to move around while playing. I don't know if it's the longish hairdo, but that dude fuckin' rocks out now. Head banging, hair flying everywhere. Just great.

    It was great to see the band having so much fun. It was great to see the crowd having so much fun. It was great too see Pearl Jam blow the metaphorical roof off of ACL, after three days of other bands had given it a go. And, for one night, it was awesome to see 75,000 people love this band as much as I do. That feeling was worth the "greatest hits" setlist.

    I can hear No Way some other time.

    (I'm sorry my spacing looks retarded Im still figuring out my phone and I'm typing while driving to the airport to fly back home)

    Where to start! What an amazing day yesterday was. We got there around 930am
    and when doors opened everyone ran for their lives to get the rail mind you this was
    running over a shit load of mud! We got rail on mike's side and then the almost 9
    hour wait began.
    The show was just amazing! Very festival friendly and that was ok becuase they
    RAWKED our faces off, Why Go got everyone moving and it jsu got better and better,
    Hail Hail and Not for you sounded unbelievable! RM with Ben Harper was just plain awesome.
    The best part was hanging out with my husband and friends at the rail trying to hold our spots
    lol. It was all team work, very strategic plans to protect our area though by the time the Dead
    Weather hit the stage there was no more sitting down. We couldn't see much of mike because
    there was a big ass camera filming the show right in front of Mike he did come over and waved
    at us a couple of times and Ed came over to our side a couple of times as well to sing right next
    to the interpreter. Overall it was just an unbelievable night definitely worth the wait and worth
    the mud!!!

    Slightofjeff makes excellent points. Could not have said it better. I was just happy to be there and see the crowd singing along and all those Texas shirts and flags waving and think "Finally!"

    They finally made it back to Texas and we showed them the love.

    I wasn't there, but I went to Lolla in 07, and I agree, it is a very well written and thought out way of looking at the festival experience.

    Here is Billboards review... "It was a performance that will have Austinites talking for a long time."
    http://www.billboard.com/news/pearl-jam ... 8434.story

    And Here is Rolling Stone's... "the group...delivered a jaw-dropping, white-hot two-hour cavalcade of hits, one that served to aggressively reassert their relevance while casting a clean light on their past. It was — by any measure — the best show of the weekend."

    Maybe because they played almost the whole album at the ACL taping the night before.

    When Eddie started talking and it was obvious someone was coming out to join them on stage, I was thinking, Willie Nelson or Alejandro Escovedo, someone from Austin or the Central Texas area. Then Perry Ferrell comes out and they freaked ROCK Mountain Song from Nothings Shocking and I mean ROCK the song and I get to see and hear Mike, Stone, Jeff and Matt play it, it was FREAKING AWESOME, it was a complete surprise and they nailed it, it was kind of like a 90's salute to the people who were at the first Lolla. in 1991 and a 1990's flashback for all of us late 30's early 40's people, that's how it felt to me anyway, I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!! :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:
