Can't find a betterman

Pearl Jam - 3rd row.

Life just doesn't get much better. Well, 3rd row CENTRE would have been absolutely divine, but I'm not really complaining. Next time.

The concert was SO awesome and would have been even if we weren't so close. They played for 2.5 hours. The last encore just went on and on and on, the band obviously feeling the love the audience was throwing at them. This is my 4th PJ concert but by FAR the best one yet. Something was missing from the other three. That raw energy, Ed just being in the moment pulling his shirt over his head or rolling around on the floor, leaning on Mike during a blistering solo, jumping up and down, he sang almost a whole song with a can of Keith's balanced on his head. That was something special to see. He was relaxed and happy and it clearly showed in the performance.

I can hardly wait to hear the bootleg of the show. I have the boots of the last two in Toronto I attended but I might have listened to each of them once. It's nice to have a momento, relive the show again, but this one I can guarantee will certainly get more play time.

Woo hoo!!! Pearl Jam ROCKS!!! Wooo hoooo!!!! \m/

Hehehe...sorry still in concert mode. That was the ultimate concert experience. Definitely one for the memory banks, a story we'll whip out and tell in the old folks home while still wearing the well preserved concert t-shirt.

Ah yes... good times...good times...

I'm sure it'll be in the Guiness Book of World Records as "Best Concert EVER! \m/\m/" Just like that.
