I just had to put this out there, thinking back it was like a long dream.
Ed was at an alltime high.
Mike hasnt been this jumpin since Yield tour.
Jeff was happy as a motherfucker, playing his fretless bass.
Stone was perfect
Matt new kit, sininging backups.
BOOM HANGING OUT GETTING ALL WASTED.
The bands new equipment was great.
Ten club seats were closer than 06.
Who you are with a fucking tag. Fucking tears in my eyes evry time.
Over 120 songs played.
And the best thing about this tour was when they ripped into rare shit it was tight, satans bed was perfect.
The wishlist raised all that money.
The weather was perfect.
Hanging out with my bro driftingbyhtestorm and listening to all his pj knowledge.
Meeting Brad and Mike. fans of course.
Hanging out with my wife.
FUCK YEAH.

no thanks.
i'd rather smoke one.
This tour is definately tops.
I always seem to think that,
and it always seems to get better,
but i think this one was nearly perfect.
they fucking nailed the sets,
shit was fresh.
they took old well worn songs and played them only once or twice total.
they took rare songs and played them for everyone.
the setlists were written with an expert eye.
the shows were long enough to rock, and not long enough to suck.
they brought it hard every night.
the boys (besides ed) were bringing it with the backup vocals.
everyone seemed friendly and in to it.
i had a lot of fun, man.
good times this year.
If I opened it now would you not understand?
There's a constant ringing in my ears
Sense of humor's void and numb
And I'm bored to tears.......
When you see me on the street, yell out "FAVO!!!"
I've been to alot of Pearl Jam shows;So fucking what.
120 songs... We were so lucky and we still wanted Rival, Breath, Deep... Yeah... We got so lucky this tour...

it was the best
some personal highlight, or quotes
"ohh you mean theres more"
"how the hell can you call yourself fans by not getting the tamborine and drumsticks", spoken in a very serious manner
those 2 guys at the hotel in boston, some of the crazy shit that was said, priceless
going to the wrong hotel, and giving them hell for losing our reservation
the best was the bullet on the back of the vs tour shirt
or maybee waking your ass up after I was the last to walk on the plane, throwing my bag at you, than standing up and fixing myself in front of everyone.
no more shows
great stuff
ohh by the way, it makes more sense, to liveee, in the present tense
no more shows
so we booked the boston trip
no more shows
you typed in simpler words, but exactly dead on
no more shows
To let ya'll in on this "joke".
FYI that the "bite on this" Vs. tour shirt, that has the dates on the back, with a bullet scribbled up at the top in eddies hand writting ...
that bullet is the EXACT size of a fat double wide rolled joint.
Now i'm no conspiracy theorist
but that smells like a big fat conspiracy to me.
or at least, a big fat joint!
Okay.
maybe it was more cosmicaly awesome to note, high and drunk.
If I opened it now would you not understand?
See this tour it wasnt like that with me, I didnt care what I missed and the 1 thing for certain is I actually started enjoying
courdoroy, gtf, dte,
I started a new love for comeback, and thats a song I hated, and I started realizing that evenflow is not a piss song
no more shows
I am looking foward to the new album.
You know those fuckers were writing on tour,
As Jeff would say "you know we want to record the music while its still fresh. Its a creative process dude"
no more shows
finally new amps and differant ones too.
and yes tempo was perfect.
no more shows
I'm with you. I will admit I used to roll my eyes when GTF, Small Town, and Better Man were played, but I just enjoyed the hell out of them this tour. I will agree this is the best run of shows I've seen, although I've only seen more than one show a tour since 2003.

Pearl Jam ruined some songs with the tempo they had in 06. Glad to hear they are slowing down!
08 was !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ive been listening to the 00', 03' and 06' boots over the last couple of weeks and the 08' tour could very well be the best yet
If you didnt get a chance to go, get hartford and columbia TREMENDOUS
