I may aswell of written that review its a really nice positive review... and y not it was a special weekend. Bumped in 2 people who were at the gorge this week at pike place, green tortoise hotel and EMP. All they needed to say was wow what shows and my fucking christ how was the weather!

ciurysek · July 2006

First, I think I can die happy after seeing PJ at the gorge last saturday...way to pull out RITFW, Baba O'Riley, and of course, the one and only Dirty Frank!

Second, I stand by my oath that I would have Eddie's babies...even though Mike claims he already has.

Third, team Canada's bottom left corner...to Manitoba Mike & Jackie, sorry we missed you at campsite 17, we have pics for you from the night...email me [ciurysek@hotmail.com] if you wants 'em.
Cheers!!!

Yeah...I hear ya about the heat...we drove over to the Grand Coulee Dam and spent hours out there, but managed to get back to pick up the tix by 3pm...then we went back to the campsite. Next day was the same, only we were staying at the Cave B...saw Pete over there...knew the band was there, but why bother them? Couldn't be bothered to bother them -- it was way too HOT over there!

I dunno -- the whole weekend was just one great experience after another! I even got ID'd at a restaurant in Moses Lake -- and I'll be 40 in about six weeks! How cool is that!?? OK, not as cool as Eddie doing his jesus impression on the sound mixer roof on night two - just 20 feet away maybe - less...that was cool - but it got me all hot & bothered...I said to the person next to me, "How does that not make you want to go have sex with him all night?" -- and it was my husband! He's like "I'm right here, you know!!" Ahh, the memories!!

LOL! That's great. You got a good husband.

what a great 2 days.

Man, those are such great pictures. And you know, they helped me get over my being a baby about the long 10c line and missing some songs. Man, i am spoiled rotten by Pearl Jam, i have been in the first couple of rows many times, and I was so close to Ed and Mike that night (1) that they might have dripped sweat on me. It's just that I love PJ so much! and i'm greedy. and i want more. and it killed me to miss a minute of it. and i miss them!!! thank you for your beautiful pictures.

"Footsteps," with the last of the sun's orange fireball outlining the horizon, was unforgettable and awe-inspiring. That plaintiff harmonica. That sunset, seemingly unwilling to let go of the day. That night. Will always remember.

i'm right with you. Great post.

fanch75 · July 2006

In da ho-tel (aka Hampton Inn, Lenexa, KS).....got a high-speed hookup. Yeah!

Thoughts:

1) The flight out was rather uneventful; had an hour delay in Chicago (which is where I met up with Ms. Jeninthebx). Cloudy, no big views.

2) Got to hang out with my aunt/uncle/cousins/other relatives on Wed, Thu, & for a short time on Mon night. That was great. Got drunk with my aunt on Thu which ruled. I thought about asking her to listen to YIELD with me, but wasn't quite that comfy. She is the Original Fanch's sister, after all.

3) The Seattle tour on Friday was cool. Loved the needle, the "Taste of Seattle" festival, the beer garden, the SHOWBOX, the markets, watching the game at Boston's err I mean Seattle's home field, and generally seeing Seattle. I got a pic riding a pig, wearing a Chad Johnson jersey, smacking its azz.

4) Friday night RULED. We went to Rose's house (aka WildChildRose from here) and hung out at her waterfront home and drink beer. No natty, but they did have Bud Lite & Coors Light. Sitting on the concrete overlook with your feet over the salt water, looking at the city skyline with the Space Needle in teh background with the sound of "wave came crashing" was awesome & beautiful. THanks for having us Rose.

5) More beer at teh Seatac Ramada after Rose's. Aw yeah.

6) Saturday we headed to Ellensburg and got to the EBerg Inn around 2pm or so. Got checked in, headed to the show. The clerk got to know me as "the crackhead." I think she wanted my chocolate.

7) GORGE I was awesome. I think it will replace Wachovia '05 as my favorite show that I've seen. 31 rows out, right of center, great view. At first I didn't think so, but the more I think about it....I mean, the sunset just kept blazing behind teh band as the set went on...something else. Look at that setlist! Ed was fucked up. Can't wait to hear it.

8) Partied after GORGE I a bit, until 230 or so. Just drank, watched the HISTORY OF METAL PART III on VH1.

9) While others rafted, we recharged, ate breakfast at the Eberg Buffet. THey had some good fried meat.

10) We headed off to GORGE II expecting everything unexpected. It was a great set, we were 20 rows on the extreme left (still a great view). It wasn't as Frehley-esque as GORGE I, but great just the same. Met all kinds of folk.

11) The after-party was fucking the shit. Went to Tav's (a bar) and listened to awesome hairmetal on the jukebox, played pool. Got great pics there. We ate fucking JACK IN THE BOX. They, like the buffet, have great fried meat. Anyway, that was cool and then we went back to Eberg Inn and partied until 630am. We did a toast to the GORGE with Boonesfarm. We called our eastcoast friends as they were on their way to work just to tell them how much we ruled. I smacked thatgirl's ass while BA was ruling her.

12) Monday included a trip to downtown Seattle again and I got to see the SINGLE VIDEO THEORY studio. I came like 5 times, got lots of pics.

13) All in all it was one of the greatest times ever and like others said, it lived up to the hype in every way & more. I dunno if we'll ever do anything like that again, but we ruled that fuckin place for a lil more than a weekend. Thanks to everyone for actually following through & doing this, it was crazy but we did it. With Jen & Sean having personal tragedies at home, they handled it extraordinarily well and truly made teh best of it better than I could.

With that, I will tell you I will upload pics this weekend when I get home from Kansas City. Rock & Roll, and cheers & beers to all.

Yes, it was HOT, but I came prepared with baggies of ice and the beer venders were kind enough to refill them for me whenever I purchased another Coor's Light. I would have liked to bring in the rest of the Molson Canadian, but you just can't sneak those in the venue.
*Wash.....my first time! Just fantastic!
*Courduroy....."Can't buy what I want because it's PEACE"
*Down, I am Mine, It's OK, Black....why don't I just list the entire setlist?!
***I swear Mike recognizes me! He did his pointing thing,then threw out a pic, it landed on the ground in the row behind me, and I thought it was lost, but this super cool girl handed it to me! She said, "He threw it to you sweetie, it's yours" Thank you awesome girl from Tennessee!
***During Footsteps,these 2 brothers from Florida asked me, "Is this real? Is that really Eddie singing fucking Footsteps?" My feelings exactly.
***I never felt much of a breeze until Crown of Thorns started. Only my second time seeing the band do that song, and I seriously had the chills.
***Dirty Frank was so unexpected and just a really cool song, regardless of what Ed said about it I loved how everyone around me knew the words and the guys looked like they had a great time playing it.
**Thank you to everyone who has shared their awesome pictures! I thought mine were pretty damn good, but WOW! You guys know how to take some photos!
***The anticipation, and the expectation of the Gorge experience totally paid off. I did not plan on going until 2 months before the shows, and I knew I would have serious regret if I didn't go. I always say, Life is way too short not to do the things that make you happy.......I am one happy, happy chick!!
**I have to post in Gorge II so I can talk about Satan's Bed!

It was that hot I can remember waking up in my own pool of sweat!!!!

Anon · July 2006

What a show! Of course Dirty Frank topped it off (as I predicted

). But it was just an overall amazing show in an amazing place. This weekend couldnt have been any better!

Amazing night! Thanks PJ. The 10c line and missing the first 4 songs was a massive bummer after a long day of travelling to the show (and the oppressive heat ofcourse) but any negative emotions I was experiencing were wiped away the second I got to my seat. Fantastic show!

riotman7 · July 2006

if anyone has an extra poster from this show let me know. thanks!

AvocadoLady · July 2006

Man, I thought just being at this show was pretty awesome...but the boot is freaking sick! I've been listening to it all day...still getting chills.

Love the part just before YL where Eddie says something like, "Mike McCready's going to tuck you into your sleeping bags with this one..." Hee. And then following that up with Little Wing...sweet.

We were up in the lawn, and totally didn't realize Ed was on the roof of the sound booth for Last Kiss! Duh.

InquisitiveOne · July 2006

In that what i now realize is Jersey slang for AWESOME... or freaking Fantastic.

As per usual, i was blown away by Mike's Solo... almost to be expected rockoutness.

But then 2/3 the way through, MATT has a Solo that is just plain rediculous! He's been getting crazier as the tour has gone on.

vedderfan10 · July 2006

They could do an entire show of JUST Even Flow (yes, played 30 times) and I'd be the happiest person alive! Man, I go crazy for that song!!

Matt has been nuts with his solos. The Gorge 1 solo, UNREAL! I love that guy. Sucks Soundgarden broke up, but happy when he went to Pearl Jam.

Wow what a day! There was a snafu w/ the 10c tickets. Appearently, according to Gorge security, Ticketmaster's server took a shit, and the distribution of the 10c tix was set back an hour or two.

I don't believe this. I showed up at 4pm and walked right up and got the 10c tickets. No problem there, but the 10c traffic was light at 4pm and there was only one line. If it was still only one line later, that woulda been ugly.

vedderfan10 · July 2006

Same here...no probs with tickets...they were all printed at 3:30pm and sitting there in boxes, waiting to be picked up...Not sure why so many people waited to pick them up...certainly this was no Ten Club screw up...
