That was all us. Your son's got some skill with the guitar. If he goes big, tell him we should get fan club numbers 1-6, so our seats are always front middle.

Hope you found Hendrix's grave and got a rubbing off it.

Cheers!

I'm thinking you are the cool guys who had the "MASH" set-up by the misting tent, huh? Glad I found that spot! It was an amazing (although hot) weekend and I really enjoyed hanging out with all 6 of you (including guljor94, if I have the right bunch of guys)....This is Pat (and Paul) from the armpit of the South. SO WORTH the trip, I wouldn't change a thing except maybe turn the heat down 10 degrees or so. So cool to have such an experience with my boy, glad you enjoyed him and hope he didn't hog the guitar too much.......PJ fans are the best!!! Glad you made it home safely.
Later on,
Pat

I just realized that we didn't get REARVIEWMIRROR at either show. That's kinda weird for a 2 night stand in one city. Great fucking shows. Thank god we have bootlegs to help relive the shows.

not sure if I am the first naysayer to post here or not but my friend and I, along with those people camping near us were a bit disappointed with this show.

My friend and I went out from CT and saw the 3 SF shows which just had an unreal intensity to them IMO. Missing some songs but overall good setlists but the band really seemed to perform IMO like THOSR were the final shows of the tour.

Expectations were so high on our end going into the gorge and after N1 was a decent show but nothing awe-inspiring to us when compared with other shows this tour, we REALLY had night 2 built up.

I liked the setlist on N2 but at the end I, and I think most of you judging by how many people stayed in their reserved seats for so long after the show, were left saying "thats it?"

Unreal tour this has been with some super shows, this is the final spot of the US tour, its at the incredible incomparable gorge, its their hometown show, all the media outlets - and even some of the generic gorge employees wondering how late they would be working - were antiipating a 3+ hour blowout, their first time playing 2 nights there, all the campers stuck it out in 100+ weather for 2 nights, it was a smaller crowd but by many opinions it would thus be described as a more hardcore crowd with lots of dedicated fans remaining while others deemed night 2 not worth missing a day of work on monday for, or just decided wasnt going to be worth the heat for another day.

and then blah. seemed to anticlimactic to us. Like i said it was a cool show but really felt like more of just another show than it did a tour ending emotional rollercoaster. i saw eddie pick mike up on his shoulders in NJ, gave out like 298 tambourines one night in SF, mike smashed a guitar one night in SF and ed tried to surf on it......ill have to compare my videos to see what was what but cameron's drum solo one night in SF was out of control.....its possible it was similar in length/quality to the one he did at the gorge on N2 but still, that was the only real sign of passion that made it seem like the gorge shows, N2 specifically, were as special to them as they made it sound when they were talking between songs.

it seemed TOTALLY primed for another set at the end of the show. so much so that when they show was over I just sat there, and rushed to get a new battery into my camera anticpating all hell was goingt o break loose. It was like "bam, ok, we just did a really good 06 tour show.....but just any ole 06 good show, now we are going to come out and show you how we blow that out of the water with one more set, maybe an acoustic, or maybe filled with long lost covers, but one more set special to those that stuck it out at the gorge, special to the final show of the tour, special to our hometown etc etc..."

but there was nothing.

I almost wonder if there was one more set but they didnt do it because of the crowd. Crowd was really weak during most singalongs on N2 I thought and offered about the weakest cheering between encores/sets I have ever seen. It was the first show I saw where it seemed like everyone was like "ok, now we wait and they will come back out" whereas that is understood at all other shows but out of respect the crowd cheers chants and howls them back out anyway, as if it wasnt a planned encore.




just my .02

Has Eddie ever sung the whole of Little Wing before? I know they've done it instrumentally before (Alpine '03 YL tag, for example...) What a treat to get the full version.

Swede, that was you starting the football chant? I should have figured...
(Met you at the Alki BBQ on Friday...the girls from Chicago...what's up?) Aussie aussie aussie!

njpjfreak, it was great seeing you at our seats, as well! Definitely PM me...and send me them pictures, girl!

Sweet setlist - I totally preferred it to Gorge I...but I'm glad I went to both shows!
