    Just listening to this boot on the way to work today, made me remember how hard it was raining outside after the show.... and how perfectly it fit the words when the band took the stage... "oh pleeeeeeeeease... let it rain today...."

    What a powerful moment, seeing WASH was so unreal, glad to go back to it!!

    Yeah, the feeling was unbelievable. Surreal! I couldn't believe my ears when I hear first chords to WASH...
    And the rain after the show...yeah, totally fits the moment. :)
    Ah, memories... :D

    that rain totally ruined the eventual post-concert party.
    we went to that irish pub with the C&C stand before the concert,
    but with that pouring rain afterwards our only concern was to get back to the hotel as fast as possible.
    Too bad, we definitely had something to toast for, but oh well
    I'll never forget my dear friend Newfie Joe (the one who hitchhiked all his way from Vancouver to St John's) running outside that venue after the show screaming out loud "BEST SHOW EVER!!!!!!". Great memories!

    It's kinda bizarre but the best memory I have from this show was Given to fly; We've had this 2h+concert already, I had heard my all time favourite song 3 times before, but then hearing it so far into the show, opening the 2nd encore, I don't know why, but it was so damn awesome! And of course "got up outta there, ran for Canada" kinda touched me personally :)

    Second most special moment of that show for me was I believe in miracles acoustic. Ever since hearing Benaroya I wished to hear that one. I heard the electric version the day before at Montreal, and I was extremely happy with it. But hearing this acoustic version was surreal. I really never expected it.

    And Brain of J and In Hiding!!! And I Got Shit!!!
    And so much more...

    Hey Angus, I see you caught a few of the shows in Canada, which was the best in your opinion and why?

    I've been trying to answer that very same question ever since returning from Canada, and I still haven't found an answer.
    I'll exclude Toronto first. That was the one I least enjoyed.
    I'll exclude Montreal next. It was a really lovely show. But just not the best.
    But from then on, I really don't know.

    Kitchener was magic, there was something about that night, that venue, that city, that public. And it was my first show and will always stay my first PJ show. The moment I had been waiting for for so long. I must admit losing the fight with a little tear when Eddie went way up during "how I wished for you todaaaaaayyyyy".

    London, setlist-wise, was even better. I mean... Smile!! SOLAT!!!! Hard to Imagine!!! Black Red & Yellow!!!! What the hell?? It was crazy.

    Hamilton. The last night of the 3-night stand was the show I had most fun at. Thank you lbc72!!!! And I heard 2 of my very favourite PJ songs I was so desperate to hear. Sad & Present Tense.

    And Ottawa. There really are no words to describe Ottawa, are there?

    So I really don't know. It's between these 4. (Probably most between Kitchener & Ottawa) And I don't really feel the need to rank them. They were all marvellous shows and everyone who was there seems to agree. So I'm a very lucky and happy guy.

    Great answers, glad to hear they were kickass from top to bottom

    Did you fly in from Belgium and drive around following the band?? Must've been a great experience

    went to all the shows you went to (except toronto), and I gotta say Ottawa was probably the best experience. But as you guys know, Ottawa is my hometown, so they could have played just about anything, and I would have been extatic...

    I'm trying to collect as much photos, memorobilia from that show. Send me anything if you have it...

    I was re-living the show all over again.
    Don't need to say anything else... :cool: You all know it! Ottawa rocked!

    Here's a bump for this amazing show that happened 4 months ago.
    Wow! Time flies! :D

    Damn, 4 months ago....

    It seems like yesterday that my buddies and I were in a softball beer league, talking about how the show was only 4 months away...

    That show was my first Pearl Jam show. It was the best concert I have ever seen, and I just saw Aerosmith and U2 a couple of months later. I walked in a casual fan, and now they are my favourite band. I can't wait till the next tour, as I plan on hitting at least one date with my dad and brother (I'm only 15)

    DVD! DVD!

    Still a classic show!

    So what are the odds of them releasing a DVD of the show?

    On a scale from 1 to 100, I'd say 2.

    I'd settle with a Touring Band 2005 DVD.
