Maybe they were embarrased that soundgarden was there too.
Cornell was playing Imagine long before Eddie.
Anyway, this was my 4th Bridge experience and 3rd that involved pearl jam. I won't comment on the whole event, though I will say Tom Jones is the shit and Florence's voice is incredible. I found Pearl Jam very disappointing. Their sets were acoustic regulars and covers. Bridge has always been a place where pj fans are treated to something special. Song debuts like I Am Mine and Last Soldier, live debuts like Lowlight and Let Me Sleep, or just a rarely played track or two like Otherside or Around the Bend. Yes, we got the Temple reunion here, but it was for one predictable song. The band's sets were lazy. Elderly Woman both nights? Just too bad after a pretty fantastic fall tour. Okay, I got it and the Bridge out of my system. I hope this band takes a good long break. Seriously, no live shows until 2016. I want to miss them for a while.
yeah cornell but SG is a different beast. I cant imagine Kim not laughing at a song like that one.
Pffft.....who cares what Kim Thayil thinks?
The guys in Pearl Jam.

"I want to miss them for a while" is an interesting thought.
I will agree the excitement factor goes up when you have a 3 year gap.
That said I'd still rather see them every year if possible.
PS - Guy in front of me at the Bridge School concert Sunday had his Beats on almost the entire time. He may have been listening to the World Series but still...at a concert? WTF
