See everyone in Tampa tonight!

Perfect opener...
But! Hmmm....that is a good crowd for you?...Everybody is just standing there..maybe slight movements of heads..few raised their hands..And those are the front rows..I guess it's that freakin' seats (why do you need seats on the floor)..
I don't mean to polarize things but in Europe almost anywhere people would jump out of their sits and sing-along so loud that the camera wouldn't capture the sound so clean..

looks like an awesome show! someone PLEASE post a video of who you are!!!!!

Thank you for those links! The chick writing for the blog "Crossfade" is not so bright, methinks...

Don’t get me wrong, the self-proclaimed fan club president from California to my right – who has clearly seen more than 30 shows to date – was on his feet the whole two hours, and I must say, during the not-so-glorious tracks, the news that he had just pissed in my empty beer cup on the floor was sadly far more entertaining than a slew of sluggish tracks Vedder and co. cranked out mid-set.

Someone posted "It Rains on Me"

First of all, who cares what crowd is better in what city? As long as you have a good time going to a show, fuck the rest of the people, whether they're a great crowd or not.

And secondly, WHO YOU ARE? I'm in shock. I would quite possibly KILL to see that song live...it's about as rare as hearing a song like "No Way", wouldn't you say?

What a flashback to '96...and quit complaining about a "short show" last night! 25 songs is a marathon for most bands, we've been spoiled with longer sets because we happen to be rather fond of the greatest band on the planet!

Who You Are!!

awesome!

i also just heard of a sweet audience source from this show.

Congrats to everyone at West Palm, looks like an awesome show. I'm heading to Columbia Monday, but my schedule is cutting it a little close. Someone said PJ came on much later than KOL, around what time? I figured there's no way they make it at 8:45, I've been to too many concerts in my day. Thanks

Who You Are!!

Man, I didn't think it would be so awesome to hear that live again.

I have seen a few shows...about 30, maybe. Yes, I realize the Ed always takes a break to grab a cig during Mikes solo - but this was an extended break, like an "Oh man, I've got to use the toilet" break...not a normal Ed break.

When the recording is released, someone can time every solo and see if I am just crazy, or correct. (insert rolling eyes here...)

Maybe there should be a thread called "How long was your Even Flow solo".

LOL! now that you mention it, he did run out of the stage quite fast, as in a hurry, as soon as he could...

Juli, congratulations on your first show!!
