Nothing special. Stone's guitar crapped out during Elderly Woman, typical Sirens and a little flub here and there.

I think the other flubs were minor lyrical flubs in Jeremy and Crazy Mary.

My highlight was the first 6 songs.

Kinda cockteased the crowd. Talked Dirty Frank but didn't play it. Talked Supersonics and Thunder but didn't play Supersonic.

I never really got "engaged." That's rare for me.

Merch opened early. A little after 12:30 and moved quickly. It was very organized and the workers did good work. I liked the poster and sticker.

There were only 2 10C ticket windows. That's the least I've seen.

I happened to eat lunch where the Wishlist preparty was occurring. I bought a WhyGoHoma shirt.

So what you're saying is: You were in Oklahoma.

This is so true hahahaha

Things i noticed:

Ed was drinking wine from song 1.
I bet he shared 5-6 bottles with the crowd.

Ed came out in the middle of crowd which was cool


The 13 year old kid wearing the who shirt they brought up for Baba O riley was pretty cool and knew every word to the song

The bathrooms in the club seating area were clean as hell

Boom looks like he lost weight.

When did Stone cut off his hair extensions?

Of course he knew all the words. His parents are Pearl Jam fans.

ed looks like an extremely tiny person in that pic

the poster for this show is fuckin tight

Yup, I am happy with it.

Fun show, solid but nothing out of the ordinary. I was surprised too how varied the setlist was early before they settled into their usual standards. Which is fine with me, I still like most of the hits & it was in a city they've never played before in a part of the country they rarely visit. Marker in Sand completes Pearl Jam for me live. They've been playing the hell out of Jeremy lately but it never fails to get the audience. When it's an unusually good version it's one of songs that catch me thinking "Holy Shit, I'm seeing Pearl Jam live". I thought Ed was fine on Blood but the bootleg will be the judge on that.
The sound from where I was sitting was really good. And they were having a good night musically; they were on game and I didn't catch anything that stood out as a glaring mistake. I'm sure I'll get the boot, if for other reason than I was there. The lights went dark at 8:07, earlier than I was expecting.
A few pictures:

My poster tube got dented by the USPS. Grrrr... My first damaged poster. I bought insurance, but I'm not sure if I would need to relinquish the item to get the insurance money. I'd rather a dinged poster rather than no poster.

Also, this poster was on much thinner stock than usual Ames posters.

Isn't it like almost 99% definite that they will sell these on the band's website once the tour is over? Maybe just take the money and use it to buy it again in 2-3 months?

Tulsa boot is available.

I actually know him and his parents. They're all super cool. He's a huge PJ fan and Who fan. He plays the Uke too. Awesome kid. They used to live down the street from me till this past summer. We were all camped out for this show. Great experience and great show.
