    Great review - makes me so glad I traveled to some shows.

    Great ending to the piece" As the chant lingered on repeat and the curtain dropped, Vedder stepped forward to clasp the hands of the fans rushing the stage, reinforcing the fact that -- literally and metaphorically -- these solo shows are the closest most of us have ever been to the guy who created the soundtrack to our lives. What a treat. Seriously, I sound like my grandmother, but how lucky we were to bear witness to this experiment"

    SHOW COUNT: (149) 1990's=3, 2000's=53, 2010/20's=89, US=109, CAN=15, Europe=19 ,New Zealand=2, Australia=2
    Mexico=1, Colombia=1 

    Upcoming:  Sacramento, Vegas x2, Manchester, London, Chicago x2, NYC x2, Fenway x2, Ohana x2  Aucklandx2, Gold Coast, Melbournex2

    The author, Whitney Pastorek, has written a few good pieces on PJ the last few years and I think is pretty friendly with the band.

    http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,1191033,00.html

    That's the article that was in Entertainment Weekly a few weeks before Pearl Jam was released and featured a few photos of board members in it.

    And she also had this interview with the band as well:

    Whitney Pastorek, the writer of the article must be a big fan...she is the one who wrote the other article in EW back in 2005 about the "jamily" (I hate that term).

    I've been keeping my distance from reading about these shows since I was not able to attend any...but after reading this article, I really wish Ed had done a few east coast shows. :(

    Wow, what a fanboy!

    I've never read anything in a music magazine that was so shamelessly biased towards the subject...

    It's like, if I had the chance to co-anchor SportsCenter for a day and all I talked about was how awesome the Phillies were and how much they are going to kick everyone's ass this year...
