My fifteenth time seeing Eddie and the boys--as good as ever and in some respect this was the best show I saw them put on since '98. Eddie was full of piss and vinegar and his voice was the rip-roaring gusto machine we've come to expect. He was less talkative than some past nights but it was good to hear him greet Theo Epstein!! Mike McCready and Matt Cameron just keep gettin' better and better!!
Eddie, preset, solo--before anyone came on, only a few hundred in the arena yet: Porch - a bitchin' version with plenty of growl
My Morning Jacket (the opening act, quite good) set list: It Makes No Difference (w/ Eddie Vedder)
Pearl Jam main set list: Severed Hand, Corduroy, World Wide Suicide, Do The Evolution, Given To Fly, Dissident, Even Flow, Marker In The Sand, Low Light, Insignificant, Army Reserve, Garden, I Got Shit, State of Love And Trust, Comatose, Inside Job, Rearviewmirror--if only the Stones could display the energy PJ does on this (well, they can--but not for too long)!!!
1st encore Set: Life Wasted (Reprise), Man of the Hour, Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town, Parachutes, Black / (We Belong Together), Alive
2nd encore: Why Go, Life Wasted, Smile, Indifference, Leash, Rockin’ In The Free World, Yellow Ledbetter / (Star Spangled Banner)
A last comment---having been to two Red Sox games this week and now Pearl Jam tonight---the recent Boston fans are 67% current or future alcoholics and some of the most drunken assholes of any crowd I've seen---and I've seen MANY!!! most of 'em are friggin' college kids who are acting like its their first drink--except they're on their twelth!!

unbeleivable...they played Leash? the ten club section had to be going nuts. This looks like a great set. The new songs are really working well live, my favorites are Gone, Life Wasted, and Inside Job.
How do you like the "reworked" Garden? I am glad I caught those three shows last week, I may have to catch another one!

Boston sports station said Leash was last played in '94 at Boston Gahden.
Not surprising, as one of their most ardent fans is one Theo Epstein, the GM of the Red Sox, who was recently engaged.
As well, Boston is a World Class City.
Jizz, I'm dissapointed in your opinion of Bahston fans.
I've encountered many of the same, in the 70's at
Providence Civic Center, now known as "the dunk", never would I categorize these fun seeking youths as you have Bahston fans. I always would give this type of flamboyant fun seeker a path to right their perceived wrong. I suggest if this type of encounter should occur in future engagements you attend, you employ your vast negotiating skills to encourage these type of individuals to "see the light".
Thank you for your continued support and cooperation. |

Leash was friggin' INCREDIBLE--a perfect version to boot!! And, yes, the hardcore 10-Clubbers in fron were going ape-shit!! This was about the fortieth time I've seen a show at the "new" Gahden--beats the Hell out of the old one--one of the most obsolete facilities I was ever in. Did I mention that Theo Epstein (GM of the Bosox for the uniititated) jammed with 'em last night?!? |

The LA show is looking somewhat tempting, I just don't want to pay more than $20-30. |

long setlists and good mixes of familiar, rare, and new tunes make it worth it. |

Buy the tix out front! Better seats, better prices! And the excitement of going to a show w/o a ticket, priceless. |

I don't like to do it any other way. |
