    I enjoyed the PJ show the second night a bit more then the first night. Compared to the Winnipeg show last year though there was no comparison, the Winnipeg show is still the best show I've ever went to.

    Glad they read my post on the first night and played Marker and Severed Hand ;)

    Fun, fun nights. I'm glad I went both nights, even if we had to listen to all of the same Tom Petty songs (and I like Tom Petty). Cool Petty/Pearl Jam poster though. I must say, that in my own humble opinion, the Tuesday night set-list for Pearl Jam kicked ass over Monday night's. I just enjoyed it more. I was surprised to hear both Black and Come Back in the shorter set. I expected one, but not both. This is a warm up. Bring on the Gorge!

    Stone played Black with an electric guitar!

    That alone made me happy. We Belong Together was beautiful.

    Stone did like a disco point during Glorified G which was just hilarious.

    Intersteller Overdrive is a sick opener. Completely unexpected.

    Light Years was awesome. Come Back was the bathroom break song for everyone.

    Eddie's mic wasn't turned on AT ALL during The Waiting, it was fucking bush league. They went the entire song with his mic not on.
    I would have too highly disagree about "come back" being a bathroom break song, they tore the fuck out of it last night Ed was way into it very well done!!!

    awesome, glad to hear they only played a few dupes.

    Does anyone have the Petty setlist, I'd be interested to know how many dupes they played?
    Look at the set list for monday and it is about the same as last night.....

    TP was good and his songs are fucking classics but the live show is so fucking in line rehearsed like, that it was like seeing a play that has been practiced to the T

    Technical problems limited the shows appeal. Eddie looked pretty pissed off, and tossed something offstage rather angrily (mic stand or guitar stand?).

    Video screens failed during PJ's first or second song.

    Losing the feed from the lead guitar for an entire song.

    Could not hear Eddie on his first appearance with Petty. Unbelieveable they didn't fix that, they didn't even seem to realize it was a problem.

    Tom Petty is a bore, his long drawn out songs at the end of the show were just to slow after Pearl Jam's feroucious, yet far to short set. I like his music, but I could have played the greatest hits CD and saved myself a lot of time and effort.

    85 minutes, and no encore for Pearl Jam. I am dissapointed about the split bill, it was obviously a marketing ploy to sell it as a co-headline, but clearly PJ was the opening band. Pretty lame to treat your fans that way.

    Next time I am told it's a split bill, I'll be smart enough to ask who's opening.

    Should have saved the money, and waited another three years for Pearl Jam to come back. I think it will be that long, given how awful the sound quality, and technical staff was in this venue.

    Oh yea, and Eddie made two separate Minnesota jokes. I forget the first on, but the "This is everyone right?" line wasn't very funny, we know we live in bum bleep nowhere, but don't rub it in. The 1000 lakes comment was sort of funny, but it's 10000 lakes. He seemed pretty intoxicated however, so I'll cut him some slack. Taking that break to smoke a joint was hilarious, I'm not sure it would be healthy to hold your inhale on a cig for that long.

    Heard Eddie and the guys were shooting some pool at a local bar afterwards, that's pretty cool, wish I ended up there! I would have like to hear them bitch about the show, as I imagine they were just as unhappy as most fans who were actually paying attention.

    I was listening to KFAN on Tuesday afternoon and someone called in and said they couldn't tell if they saw Tom Petty or Martina Navritalova the night before. ;)

    I would too, but I just meant I saw a lot of people heading for the bathrooms once the song started.

    I didn't see many if any leaving by me so I would assume it was alot of Petty fans leaving since its a new song that isn't a single so I doubt they've heard it before.

    Did anyone see the guitar that Mike first brought out for "Light Years"? It was like clear with a bunch of flashing lights. Then it started to crackle and he quickly switched before the song started. I have never seen that guitar before....anyone else?

    Whats wrong with the screens for the nosebleed people? I'm not being sarcastic. I really don't know why Eddie or you would object to them.

    if it was dual headline, they would switch each night. this is clearly a bullshit lie, they are opening. way to mislead again ten club

    I think this is true as well. It's a different type of sad song, so to speak. Just as powerful, especially the "I need you/I'll be here" at the end.

    just dragged my ass back from st paul.. i enjoyed myself, however, i will never go to another pj 'co headliner' show again. i did go to st paul for the same reason pearl jam played, to toast petty's 30th. but i have now officially seen tp&thb 4 times and th' th' th' th' th' that's all folks.

    the best tp song was the cover of 'oh well' which is my favorite fleetwood mac song ever. without mike campbell, tp is just a good song writer.

    now it's on to LA!!
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    The show was great...very good mix of old and new.

    Was a little disappointed with the quick set as the boys really seemed to be getting into it near the end...the show could have been EPIC with another 25-30 minutes.

    Also a bit disappointed with the "co-headliner" billing. Pearl Jam was CLEARLY the opening band (Petty even mentions that PJ is 'opening' in the RS article).

    Glad to see it...excited to see them again at Summerfest on Friday.
