rob was here.

I JUST got back from my first ever pearl jam concert (the last stop of their canadian tour), and what can I say? The concert was beyond imagination of what a concert could be. The experience was definitely beyond what words could describe as I even found myself totally awe-struck by the vibrations my eardrums were recieving and the scenes that my eyes captured. Some of my favourites were played (Jeremy, Black, Crazy Mary, Animal) but others were not (Yellow Ledbetter, Release, No Way, Do The Evolution, Green Disease). At any rate, the setlist was pretty perfectly sprawled out into a wide selection and range of songs.

Some of my favourite moments include:

- When the band exploded into Animal (song 2 or 3 if I recall).. I was blown away by the sheer energy of the band, and the corresponding energy of the crowd. Amazing. The lighting was brilliant in this song too.

- Boom's organ solo in Crazy Mary. Wow. Booooom.

- Guitar solo during Alive.. It went on and on in it's incredibleness.

- Rockin' the Free World with a bunch of people on stage, throwing tamborines around, and just acting nuts. Wintersleep (the opening band) was on stage with them for this final song. It was amazingly fun and surreal.

- actually pretty much everything was memorable. I can't wait to get a hold of the recordings so I can listen to them a trillion times.

Oh, I bought this shirt too:
