It truly was a magical experience! I never regretted making the big trip, it was awesome to start my first visit to the States with this wonderful weekend. I loved to meet so many wonderful people, the venue was fantastic and the music ... oh my I would do it again in a heartbeat! And I think the second time around it would be even more awesome cause then I would meet more people I already know. And that time around I wouldn't miss the tailgate. September 2011 ruled!
Oh, and bring on the boots
Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue!
absolutely the best weekend ever.... still don't seem to go a day without mentioning something about it to annoyed friends "seriously Vicki, it was months ago... we've already heard. More than once" (in this case would rather not be living in the present tense!)
There aren't many (or any other) things that would get me to spend thousands of dollars I don't have to fly half way around the world by myself for a long weekend but don't regret it for a second...
Loved meeting everyone that I did... best weekend + the best fucking people!
I don't mean to offend anyone, a lot of what I say should be taken with a grain of salt... that said for most of you I'm a stranger on a computer on the other side of the world, don't give me that sort of power!
Lottery tix, 9th row front and center and PJ coming on stage with opening licks to Release was THE #1 highlight for me.....Good God, it still gives me goose bumps. The crowd was SO LOUD!!! This is going to sound amazing on the boots

We had lawn seats the first night, I will NEVER forget the sea of people with their hands in the air during Release, it was a sight to see.
So with UK tour ending during the summer maybe, just maybe a two-night date at Alpine will kick off the US tour
+100.
I was in the reserved seats the first night and we were 9th row front and center. When "WHERE IT TAKES MEEEE!" cam during the Release, it literally felt a wave rolled down the sea of people from the back of the lawn down to the front and lifted me in the air. That feeling was so incredible.......OK now I'm getting depressed that weekend is gone and past again, I have to stop.

I was gathering some things together for a trip last night and noticed that after a few months of use since, my backpack still has alpine valley mud stains on it from night one....and I still refuse to wash it off. Is that weird?
How are you listening to it? Have they released the bootlegs from it yet?

The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
