    PJ20 Night 1 = 28 songs.
    PJ20 Night 2 = 34 Songs
    Wrigley = 33 Songs

    So much for being "late" to the stage.......

    Plus, 2 AM finish time. When's the last time a major internationally touring band played past midnight? Let alone finished their set at 2 AM.

    Food for thought. But, go ahead and dislike PJ20/Wrigley and don't look back with fond memories. Like Adam stated above, PJ is about the live experience, warts and flubs included. If they were perfect every night, they wouldn't be that interesting of a band to listen to or follow around the globe. Band of Skulls sounded exactly like their record when I saw them. And I was bored. No one is forcing you to look back and take the good with the bad, but, I guess, some of us have chosen to look at it that way. Did it suck to be stuck in the rain? Yes. Was I exhausted and irritated by the crowds? Yes. Did I want to scream when it took them so long to come out? Yes. Was I so tired the next day in Chicago that I did nothing but sleep and went to bed at 9 PM on a Saturday night in a hotel room? Yes. Will I brag and boast to my children and be happy that I was at PJ20 and Wrigley? Absolutely.

    Take the good with the bad, because Pearl Jam's "bad" is out weighed by their good by a long shot in my opnion.

    Both PJ20 & Wrigley (and Missoula) were SO much more than what happened on the stage!!
    The people I met at these EVENTS have become some of the BEST friends in my day to day life!!
    I keep in touch with my PJ FAMILY and look at our "tour time" as a big old reunion...GREAT music & INCREDIBLE friends, it doesn't get any better than that!!

    Love meeting new people - totally agree with derbydave, it's not just the band on stage, it's the experience. Because of meeting some great "strangers", I've had years of fond concert memories, without even mentioning the actual show. Neat lil tribe we have here.

    PJ20 and Wrigley were the greatest could have beens in the band's history, imo.

    I'll take indoor shows for the rest of my life.

    Missing out by turning down outdoor shows? I work too hard for my PJ concert money to have mother nature take a shit on it. I'll take a roof instead of a rain cloud over my head at a concert any day. :-)

    I am listening to Wrigley right now and completely forgot the excellent change made to Corduroy at the end...shit like that made me forget how soaked I was. I didn't care that I stood in the rain for 3 hours...I was 3 rows from the stage and wouldn't trade that for anything. Well, maybe they could've gone without All the Way....that was corny as hell...but I hate the Cubs :-)

    Corduroy was AWESOME & I'm with you on the "All the Way" segment...I wish they had done that before the rain delay and came back out swinging after the "intermission"...but I still really enjoyed the whole Wrigley Experience!!

    I also just remembered that Imagine Dragons is playing a free show at TCF Saturday for All Star weekend...I assume you still need a "ticket" though.

    I am still planning on seeing Glen Hansard on 8/5 at 1st Ave and possibly Counting Crows at Myth 7/25

    Haha, yes they are and a new album coming out in September that actually has new material, not covers like their last album. I was more surprised that their opener, Toad the Wet Sprocket, were still together and playing
