heeeeeeeellllllllloooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

was on the barrier with wash_, AMENt, Dave Brown and Duggro, infront of Mike with fifty thousand people behind !! crazy.... also, We got to the front after placebo and to my left was this tiny kid who was thirteen!! he has got big balls! He lasted half the set then had to be pulled out but again massive respect to him.

The set/show... pretty amazing.... rockers, rockers, rockers.... it was like a blitz! stand outs for me were Not for You, Alive, Corduroy, Hail Hail errrr most really!!

If you see Stian during the tour ask him what the guy next to him did.... cheeky little Fu*ker.

Eddie jumped off the stage during the end of Rockin in The Free World and ran along the line of the crowd barrier infront of the stage.

We got a lot of points from Mike and I was quite surprised how close the crowd was to the stage..... only about 15ft or so.

Green Disease, Why Go.... all class. Eddie told some funny jokes and the dream one..... PULL OUT!! PULL OUT!!

Hey Rob - sounds like you guys had a great time!

The set looks really good, you lucky things!

what did the cheeky little Fu*ker do to Stian?

Helloo!!!

Stian got pissed on!!!!!!!!!

Ewwww!!!! I hope he gave him what for!

My first ever pearl jam show and i must say it was bloody fantastic!! It was easy to get past the 2nd barrier, went in just before MCR to make sure i had an ok spot.
I was on the left(mikes side) about 3/4 people from the front, when they opened with go and animal everyone went crazy, people pushing and jumping up and down but eventually it calmed down thank god!

eddie said that the reson theyre doing festivals now (mentioned rocksilde) isnt cause theyre taking a risk but cause they trust us, which cleared it up for me, i was abit worried about safety and all that. also the bush dream story was hilarious, and with an important message too lol

i thought the sound was great from where i was you could hear eddie clearly, no comlaints- i could see mike jeff and eddie for most of the night i was so happy.

basically my ideal setlist..Its Ok, corduroy, even flow, insignificance, SOLAT(!!!) and then afew new ones. quite alot of the songs were old like from Vs and Ten and i guess they had to cater for more casual fans, but i thought it was great. people around me looked after me, 2 people took a photo for me and well looked after by security with water being handed round

im so glad i went, like everyone says you havent seen them until you've seen them live!

Hello All

First PJ show last night & I'd have to say what a set for my first show! WOW! I was also surprised at the quality of the sound (for a festival), I was stood behide the 2nd barrier, dead centre & about 3 rows back (had a lot of room too???).

At first the crowd seemed a bit flat, plus I seen about 20/30 people leave (FOOLS!!!). Anyway highlights for me were Matt's solo, State of Love & Trust & Keep on Rockin'.

Next up for me Marseille, then off to Athens. Hope to see you there.

Anyone going to Reading have a great day & as Ed says, 'Look after each other.' We don't wanna wait another 6 years.

Fantastic night!
Last time I saw them live was in 2000... they only got better.

It blew me away to hear all those Ten and Vs. songs. I couldn't have hand-picked them better myself. And such a rocking set.... First five songs really set the crowd in motion.

My personal highlights were Why Go, Porch, SOLAT and, of course, RITFW !! (I was expecting Ledbetter, so it had a surprise element to it as well).

I also thought the sound was a bit crap (I was WAY back... got near the crowd exactly when Go was starting, after a long trip), but it was still an amazing performance by the guys.

See you in Reading!

Thats a great setlist, i hope they keep something similiar for reading,

That was fuckin amazing! The lads were on top form last night. It was my first time at a Festival and thought I would have no chance of getting near the front - but in the end I managed to get about three/four people from the front on the Mcready side of the stage!! Mike was superb tonight - he looked like he was loving it! He was blowing kisses to the crowd at one point.

Eddies voice was spot on too - and after looking and sounding really worried about the crowds safety when they first came out he relaxed during the set and we could all tell he was having a good time.

Stone was Stone (ie very calm and relaxed) and Jeff was rocking out all over the place - I particularly enjoyed his 'Kiss' style jump (can't remember during which song he did this).

Mat's drum sound was amazing tonight - and the drum solo; well what can I say? Eat your heart out John 'Bonzo' Bonham!!

First time we have got to see Boom and he looked great, he had the biggest cheesiest grin on his face all night.

The set was class, totally rockin! Green Disease was a major highlight as was the brilliant version of Alive. Rockin in the Free World was a great closer to a masterpiece of a Setlist. Perfect for a Festival headliner - If there is only one Boot you get this year, get this one!

Pity they didn't show any of the show on bbc. Hopefully they'll show Reading. Wish I had a ticket for that now.

Yep, it's on BBC3 (or BBC4, I forget) tomorrow night.
