  • This was a great show no doubt but, my friend got the setlist and there were a couple of great songs that they didnt play. If they would have played these, if would have been the best concert this tour;

    I got shit
    Jeremy
    Footsteps
    and yes they didnt play Bee Girl

    Once I saw that they didnt play these, I was amazed. Tonight I am going to the Ottawa Concert and hopefully these song are still on there mind and they will play them.

    It's weird but anytime someone gets one of the handwritten setlists, it always seems to include awesome songs they DIDN'T play. What's up with that? Usually, they are rarer songs like I Got Shit and Footsteps, for example. Maybe they just get lazy and say, "oh hell, let's just play Evenflow again." :) I can't complain, though, because I heard great songs at both the Gorge and Vancouver!

    I must say that I am still recovering. What an awesome show. I met some fantastic and cool fans. To my right was a young lady from Florida ( I think she drove), in front was a couple from PA, to my left there was another couple from PA, and in back of me I believe they were from Oh Canada.

    Before I go into more details let me say cheers to Montreal Sam for spreading the word about Grumpy's. That was a really good time. I wanted to go to this Irish Pub called Cladaughs after the show because they were having a PJ cover band but I was to damn exhausted so we went to a diner. Canadian Diners are not the same as a good American Diner. Perhaps I was to drunk but I was not impressed.

    On with the show.

    Eddie never disappoints. Don't Be Shy was a nice treat.

    Sleater Kinney knows how to get the party started. Matt Cameron came out to play the tamborine on one song and they closed their set with Danzig's "Mother" and Mike came out to lend his talents. I almost lost it when I heard them say this is a Danzig song because I knew it had to be Mother.

    PJ's set was incredible. Like I said up top the people around my wife and I were great. We were all dancing and having a good time. I only wish we more space to dance:)

    I was able to get the Montreal and the North American Tour posters.
    The Montreal poster is awesome. It has a boy mowing the lawn with one of those old school blade mowers.

    I was able to take some pictures but I was to far back to get close ups. I have a few pictures that turned out okay but nothing to go crazy about.

    Cheers,
    Vince

    ps
    Most of the people we met are going to the Ottawa show. Hope you have a good time. We are staying in Montreal until Sunday so we are going to try and see the White Stripes tomorrow.

    Well, I'm back at work now and just dead. No voice left. What a show!! We were in section 112, row H and were surrounded by people from England, Toronto, Philly, Boston! I finally got to meet some board people at the little restaurant next to Grumpy's: stpmattb, ACCBootlegGoddess, XBoxJunkie, etc. Everyone was cool. They even shared some food with us while we waited for ours. Very cool. Met a nice couple from Baltimore, Matt and Amanda. Hey guys!

    The show was just awesome. I could not believe that 2nd Encore. Whipping, Down, Blood, Black, Baba and YL. Holy Shit!

    Harvest Moon was a treat. So was Trouble. Just Ed solo on that one. It was amazing. And you can't go wrong with Release as the opener.

    Heading to Ottawa tonight. Hope to see everyone there!!

  • Light Years and Trouble were a couple of the highlights for me... just awesome, can't wait to hear the boot.

    To all those going to Ottawa tonight, don't forget to hit O'Connors Irish Pub beforehand for a beverage-of-your-choice and to support the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation. Visit http://www.pearljamlive.com for details!!

    exactly, its a must have boot.

    I cant wait to get it, I just need to find my credit card.
  • I loved all the cover and it was another fucking mind blowing show.

    But it didn't top Winnipeg. If fact, I think all concerts everywhere are now spoiled because of how good that was. :)

    The crowd was HUGE. HUGE. And everyone sang, and Ed was hilarious, and it was a good time.

    Man of the Hour made me cry, Black was gorgeous again, Alive was awesome, Porch and Blood were my fave though.

    I liked the contrast bewteen the rocking stuff at the start and the very mellow 1st encore.


    I'll write a real review later. I have to go be a tourist now!

  • Although I didn't attend the concert, the fact that they played TROUBLE still just blows me away...... DAMMIT I LOVE THEM!!!



    Trouble
    Oh trouble set me free
    I have seen your face
    And it's too much too much for me

    Trouble
    Oh trouble can't you see
    You're eating my heart away
    And there's nothing much left of me

    I've drunk your wine
    You have made your world mine
    So won't you be fair
    So won't you be fair

    I don't want no more of you
    So won't you be kind to me
    Just let me go where
    I'll have to go there

    Trouble
    Oh trouble move away
    I have seen your face
    and it's too much for me today

    Trouble
    Oh trouble can't you see
    You have made me a wreck
    Now won't you leave me in my misery

    I've seen your eyes
    and I can see death's disguise
    Hangin' on me
    Hangin' on me

    I'm beat, I'm torn
    Shattered and tossed and worn
    Too shocking to see
    Too shocking to see

    Trouble
    Oh trouble move from me
    I have paid my debt
    Now won't you leave me in my misery

    Trouble
    Oh trouble please be kind
    I don't want no fight
    And I haven't got a lot of time
