Just everything I wanted this show to be ... and more. Putting under spoiler tags ...
We got there half way through Ben Harper, Eddie joined him on stage for Bowie/Queen cover of Under Pressure.
As for the PJ show ... these guys just get better and bigger with every tour. They sounded great and the setlist was a good mix too. It is a weird feeling that you actually believe the band when they say they enjoy playing here in Perth or in Australia. Eddie talks about them going surfing down at Scarborough, he went to a gig the night before to play some pool and see some local bands (from how he described the venue it was sounding like the Hyde Park hotel ... a small dive of a pub, but that has awesome charm) ... anyway, rambling.
All in all, the show was great. The crowd were great, sung along to every song ... the biggest highlight was Love, Reign O'vr Me ... FUCK YEAH! <3 ... urmm what else ... oh yeah, hearing the new stuff live is great ... fuck The Fixer is a damn fine song. Damn damn damn fine.
Setlist:
Set List: Breakferfall, Why Go, Corduroy, Gonna See My Friend, Small Town, Amongst The Waves, Even Flow, Pilate, Unthought Known, Daughter/W.M.A., Big Wave, Force of Nature, I Am Mine, Grievance, Garden, The Fixer, Save You
1st encore: Just Breathe, Red Mosquito w/Ben Harper, Love, Reign O'er Me-(Townshend), Whipping, Got Some, Do The Evolution
2nd encore: Throw Your Arms Around Me w/ Liam Finn-(Archer, Falconer, Howard, Miles, Seymour, Smith, Waters), Given to Fly, Betterman / Save It For Later-(Charley, Cox, Morton, Steele, Wakeling), Alive, Yellow Ledbetter
The folks over at pearljam.com: forums.pearljam.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=117866 are talking about the show, check out some of the shots of the merch. I didn't even go check it out ... else I would have got the Eagles - Pearl Jam t-shirt ... hopefully it ends up on the online store. Hoping you can pick up a Crows one Steve!
I'm tempted, if I can afford it, next time PJ tour ... I might do multiple shows and fly interstate.
Oh and the BEST thing from the night ... I think Bree might actually call herself a PJ fan now ... she was singing along more than some others there ...
