You both make me sick.
I also like "Backspacer" a lot.
And I don't care when Pearl Jam does commercials for major corporations.
Alone! My pearl jam experience is pretty much complete now. If I didn't have to pick up the Wrigley tickets myself i don't think I'd even go.
It was a great set.
That was the best nothingman I've ever heard. It had the intensity of Long Road in Chicago in 09.
Mind Your Manners was good, but Ed had some mic issues, so his frustration got in the way of its debut.
Ed made an audible and called off WWS. No idea why.
Daughter was fucked. Ed had no idea where he was. Stone just kept shrugging. I think that shit gets to him.
It was a great set. If i had one qualm, it was that it was only 30 songs. I know, I know, but they didn't go on until after 8, and they were done around 10:30. Ed needs to knock that shit off about curfew or having all night to play. It means nothing. To be fair, it was hot as hell in the building, and I am sure they were gassed.

Great show! Alone was a highlight for me. Wasn't expecting that one.
I actually really liked that version of Daughter (until Ed kind of lost his place). The first half of the song was just Ed and Stone on acoustic guitar. It reminded me of that clip in PJ20.
Mind Your Manners kicked ass. Sounds really good live.
I want to hear a recording of Black, because I remember McCready's solo being pretty great and a little different than what he normally plays.
Present Tense into Nothingman on paper looks awesome to open, but in reality that seems like such a momentum killer with the hard, fast outro to Present Tense. You have this swell of anticipation expecting a rocker to kick things into high gear and you get Nothingman? They're supposed to blast off after the first song. Its always weird when you see something different like that.
