    Too many good songs, not enough time and high expectations.

    On any other day this show would have been highly praised as being great, not epic but great.
    I think it's the "special" anniversary thing that fucked with everybody's way of thinking. I personally had visions of better than Penn State, Buffalo 03' mixed in with Canada 05' with a touch of 92' tossed in.
    After all this was touted as being a "special" once in a lifetime event. PJ has set the bar HIGH.

    All the hysteria that led up to it, we all thought this was going to be not just good but INSANELY incredible!

    McCready MVP of night 1 HE BLAZED to save the night!!!!!!!!!!

    Highlights...Release, In my Tree, Hunger Strike, Breath, SOLAT

    Lowlights....too much Cornell, sorry I do like him but not enough to buy a ticket or travel for.
    Oh dear dad
    Can you see me now
    I am myself
    Like you somehow
    I'll ride the wave
    Where it takes me
    I'll hold the pain
    Release me

    how can honoring Andy Wood be a lowlight? you do know the history of andy wood and chris cornell, right? it was pretty much a given cornell would show up and do a TOTD encore.
    Ron: I just don't feel like going out tonight
    Sammi: Wanna just break up?

    Of course I know the Andy Wood history and I LOVE MLB.

    I just don't think Cornell did the songs any justice, I don't think Ed sounds good singing MLB songs either.
    I understand the need to commemorate that moment in time but I just didn't dig it. That's just me....I'm sure many thousands loved it.

    i too am one of the many pj fans that loves MLB. i think cornell sounded nervous and all. he sounded much better a few months ago when i saw SG.

    My wife buys nothing but greatest hits albums. So maybe she would have said that she didn't recogbise any of the songs. Other than someone like her, which is fine, how could anybody be disappointed. Talk about rarities, digging deep, etc. I wasmt there nut would buy any DVD of it. Looked amazing
    Up here so high I start to shake, Up here so high the sky I scrape, I've no fear but for falling down, So look out below I am falling now, Falling down,...not staying down, Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down, Drown in the river

    I imagine having seats at the front of the stage at a rock concert would do a lot to suck a lot of the energy out of a show.
