    I really don’t get it. After seeing Pearl Jam at Rod Laver a few years ago, I couldn’t wait for them to finally come to New Zealand, but especially Christchurch was just one huge disappointment. For all I know they probably played extremely well, and the setlist was obviously great - but the sound was so shit I left after an hour, feeling heartbroken. Everything was just one big wash, and at times the echo off the back of the stadium was so bad that the songs were pretty much unrecognisable. I really don’t get why nobody has mentioned this so far. At previous PJ concerts I have felt nothing but exhilaration and happiness. Last night I felt nothing. Walking out on Pearl Jam was something that I never thought I would do, and I left the stadium with tears in my eyes. But when you’re faced with a choice of hearing your favourite songs being butchered by a shitty sound system, and preserving your memory of what a proper Pearl Jam show is like, walking away was the only reasonable thing I could do.

    Im sorry you had this experience but i can tell you the sound was just fine. Im also saying this as a professional musician. You needed to be face on to the stage though. There will always be slap back from a stand facing the stage. Ive been to many MANY pj concerts and last night was up there as quite possibly the best. Did you try moving positions to see if you could get better sound? Walking out should have been a last resort.[/ Hey there, I appreciate what you're saying, I veered into the between Sound-desk and back stadium area when looking for my partner, and bounce did distort the sound, We found the sound in front of the tent superb. You'll have to catch a better spot next time and get the experience, please do. cheers.]

    Cheers guys. One of the best shows I've ever been to and I've seen The Ramones in London, The Rolling Stones at Wembley Stadium and Iggy Pop pulling out a "greatest hits" set and this one matched all of them. The bootleg is brilliant and I'll give it to my sister in law who was in the mosh pit for Christmas.
