    Aw that's so cool, I made it on your list. It was really cool to run into you too. :-) I know what you mean though about your mind not grasping it all, I kept getting asked, soooo what'd you think!?, after the show and I was like speechless... had no clue how to answer that. It was like dude I really need to just take this in right now! I still haven't really calmed down yet... I started listening to the Vancouver boot and on the way home I'll listen to some of the Gorge.

    Someone in Vancouver asked me about the Gorge setlist.....I couldn't spit out any of the songs.

    ....maybe it was all the gin I drank. :p

    Wish we could have talked more!

    See ya the next time around!

    I'm pretty sure it had to do with something I ingested at the Gorge too... :D

    I'll be in Philly and AC, if you're there, we can chat more. Meant to make it to the BBQ, but my stupid plane had an emergency landing in Detroit and then we got stuck there for 2 hours...and got into Seattle really late. :-(

  • Amazing setting and setlist from this show! Couldn't have asked for better! The highlights for me have to be:

    I believe in miracles
    Lowlight
    Hard to imagine
    Alone
    Sad
    Undone
    In my tree
    State of love and trust
    Alive (have heard this several times live but it kicked ass at the Gorge and in Vancouver!)
    Porch (love that slow beginning)
    I won't back down (man, I wish it was on the boot)
    Crown of thorns

    Man, what an amazing show!! So much energy!! I can't wait until they return to support the new album!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!! I need more Live PJ!!

    I can't say anything that hasn't already been said here! I've been to the Gorge countless times, and nothing else compares to this show. Thanks Pearl Jam, Thanks ten club. I have a high member number and was happy to be in Sec A, Row 23, Seat 1-2. My brother and I looked back after the show started and asked a man how he got a video camera in. Then I looked up, it was Jeff's parents with their Montana Farmers shirts. What a trip.

    Yeah, I was in section B, row 21., right in front of them. I thought it might have been jeff's parents (Montana Farmers shirts). A few crew members escorted them to they're seats and made sure they were OK and asked them if they needed anything else to make them more comfortable.

  • Anyone know why "i wont back down" isnt on the bootleg? This was one of my favorite parts of the amazing show. Anyone know where I could find it?
  • Ok. First of all I flew over 7,000 miles roundtrip to see this show. PJ has been there for me since I was young. I made sure to be careful when I hid the 1/2 oz. of Shrooms I brought on the plane. We camped next to 2 real cool sisters named Andrea and Kate I think. Took the Shrooms about 6:15 and were totally tripping once in the 5th row. PJ came out and were their normal humble selves. I honestly believe they have something no other music group has and that is without question... They were the best they have ever been!! Honestly its my 13th time seeing them. I have seen them in their early years, in Australia 3 times and in Michigan many times. I tell you that this was the pinnacle of their time as musicians. I don't know if anyone caught it, but Eddie admitted to tripping when he forgot the words to one of the songs. Every mistake made in lyrical rememberance, was totally made up for by energy, sincerity and more than anything else... love. The band showed how much they stick together by tearing up almost every time Ed was trippin a bit too hard.

    Picture it... Sun going down over the Cascades, 7:30, Hard to Imagine at dusk, tripping on shrooms, Ed trippin on shrooms which probably means PJ itself was trippin, people just like you who feel the words as you do, and Mary rising up above it all. Shit it damn near makes me cry!

    Thanks for all the memories and for one of the most lucid and coherent nights of my life. I think I saw God in that crowd and in that band. Did you see it too? Here's to changing tihis world!

    I think Kat already answered this. There was a problem with the recording of this one song and it was lost. So unfor it's gone. Sucks.

  • OK....

    I HAVE to say it. I had every intention of going to the Gorge, but it just didn't happen (I only made it to Van).

    BIG HUGE GIANT MISTAKE!!!

    Come to find out...one of my all-time FAVORITE songs was performed. The one song I have been hoping they'll play since Lost Dogs came out. This song I listen to on repeat at work..much to the displeasure of a certain co-worker of mine. This song, however, is best listened to cruising up the PCH, ocean front.

    I'm not even going to post the name of the song...we all know what it is. I need to fricken d/l Gorge, damnit...

    Oh well, everything happens for a reason right?!

  • Yea that was awesome! I was standing 2nd row center when he came out, rocking out to the Supersuckers. Was very surprised and very happy to see Ed. :-)

    Rose

    Yeah I was on the end of Row 3 but moved over to the center when he came out. Had my blue M's hat on. That got me so fucking pumped! Anyone else get the feeling the energy level jumped a few hundred percent after that?
    I will hold the candle till it burns up my arm
    Oh, I'll keep takin' punches until their will grows tired
    I will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind
    Hey, I won't change direction, and I won't change my mind

    The Gorge was amazing and by far the longest PJ show I have ever seen....3:10 or so I guess. I haven't listened to the MP3 (to hear in a completely sober manor) yet, just about to download it tonight (just got back from Seattle last night) but it was awsome and was the best show I had seen in years..... Vancouver kicked ASS! I have not seen Ed with that much energy or the band with that much perfection since 1998! Vancouver goes down in my book as the 2nd best show I have ever seen. Who els was on the floor early enough to see Eddie play with the Supersuckers in that spaceman suit? That was an unreal surprize!

    I don't think anyone has posted pics of Ed's suit at Vancouver, so here are mine. Thanks to WildChildRose for convincing us to grab that unused real estate in second row center :-)
