    great review thinair. sounds like a beautiful show....funny how the camera man showed you guys the setlist!

    cant wait to hear this show.

    It wasnt an accurate setlist that they showed on the big screen. It had wash, YL, and Indifference on it as well... Maybe a few more too. It wasnt up on the screen no more than 10 secs. But other than that I really am still speechless. That set completely drained every ounce of energy from me. I was front row against the rail. I waited with a few others from 1:00pm to get that close. I was the 6th person in line and it was sooo worth it!

    Wow. I'm in complete shock. Who'd have thought that a festival would have gotten the best set of the tour...

    I do love me some Widespread Panic but it's clear by now that Bonnaroo '08 belongs to Pearl Jam...and my jealousy continues unabated, even though I'm going to Columbia tomorrow...

    Ok we just got back from Bonnaroo and I must say last night was the single greatest night of my life.... I was right behind Zach who did the Spin magazine blog, I was wearing the boston red sox hat and going freaking nuts all night long... to those of you who are all like "well i dont think i wanna go to a show like that cause its a bunch of stinky hippy people" then you have no idea what you missed.... It was perfect, Eddie was amazed at the crowd and how well we reacted to some of the more rare songs like All Night and Hard To Imagine.... WMA was unbelievable I never thought I would see it.... Paul Rudd and the Olson twins were all there.... The alive chorus chant was a very surreal moment and Eddie was very touvhed by the crowd being so into the set... Mike was going insane on guitar, jeff was jumping about every other song, stone was duck walking and matt was pounding away.... crazy mary was so cool when edd came out and passed his wine bottle around...
    Who You Are was so beautiful... Im still in shock right now really, it was THE BEST PJ SHOW EVER.... I have seen them a number of times but if you are a diehard fan like i have been for over 14 years then this was the show you have been waiting for the band to play...

    Did they play Life Wasted? It's not on the setlist, but Fuse is showing some stuff from Bonnaroo and was just showing PJ playing Life Wasted.

    I feel like I completely missed out on what will be the best Pearl Jam show from here on out...

    I wish I had a time machine :(
    Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?

    That was my first PJ show and my God it was sick! That setlist was so unexpected. Even I expected the greatest hits/standard setlist because it was a festival and the way Lolla went last year. It was the complete and total opposite. I even thought Ed might not be all into it due to it being a festival..etc. I was so wrong. I couldnt have asked for a better performance and show. Ed and Mike were exceptionally full on energy and good spirit.

    When I first heard the opening notes to Hard to Imagine I couldn't get over it I was utterly shocked and in awe. I thought Severed Hand was going to be the opener because I heard the intro earlier on during the day while I was standing at the front of the gates. I may have talked to some of you. I had a gray PJ shirt on. I talked and had a guy with a red Portland 2006 shirt on in front of me. Anyways, a little after that when they played All Night, Who You Are, Down, and WMA I knew this show was going to be special. All Night hit me like a ton of bricks. It sounded so good. Ed was incredible, especially on that song. WMA sounded very powerful. It was reworked some, not to the extent Garden was in 06, but it was quite good.

    How did Ed sound? Very good. I don't think he sounded as good as he did in 2006 like someone else mentioned, but to be so early on in the tour he sounded incredible. He was exceptional on No More, All Night, WMA, and Release. Release as an encore? Blew my arse away! It sounded so cool to hear it so late in the set. And to conclude, it was a fantastic show and an incredible way to experience PJ for the first time.

    BTW, there was a cool Canadian couple that stood beside us at the fence(I was pretty close to the stage) from about 2 PM and until the show ended. They were so nice and cool. Maybe they are on here?
    My first PJ show to witness was at Bonnaroo. How is that for lucky?

    Have you guys heard the news all over the AP wire. Metallica filed charges against Pearl Jam last night after being visible bent over and raped in front of the world with a concert that will go down in history. The guys just keep on kicking ass after 18 years. I know it's not a contest, but I heard alot about how huge Metallica was, and Pearl Jam would not be able to stay up with them. I heard how Pearl Jam doesn't sell X amount of albums anymore so the crowd won't be as big as Metallica's. Kaboom, stuff all that up your ass, PJ fuckn' blew the windows out of Metallica's tour bus. I kinda think Pearl Jam is reaching a level that has never before been reached by a live rock band. It's starting to get scary how unbelievable they are becoming.

    And one more thing, Matt Cameron kicked ass on Who You Are and WMA both. For all those who doubted. "They don't play the song because Matt cant play it." I knew that was bull. Was it in the same style and vibe of Dave and Jack? No it wasn't. Was it great... certainly yes. Matt sounded very good on WMA.

    I love Metallica, and they were completely awesome at the show, but Pearl Jam did in fact blow them out of the water completely. More than what I thought they would.
