Ehrlich gesagt ich hatte für die Nacht auch "mehr" erwartet.
Nicht von der Länge her,die war einmalig, aber von der Setlist.
"We will play every song we know by Saturday!" Das dies nicht machbar ist war eigentlich vorher klar,weil dann hätten sie 10 Stunden spielen müssen.
Die Ankündigung das Song gespielt werden, die selten oder noch nie gespielt wurden ...
Gurkenabrundung für den Extrem Hardcore Fan. Pilate,Out Of My Mind,Whip It,Satan's Bed,Sweet Lew.
Wer sagt das die Nacht gut war, weil er "Bugs" (Eddie am Akkordion) gehört hat und das seine Erfüllung ist ... naja.
Ich hatte eher ein paar Gastauftritte und "gute Covers" erwartet. Songs wie Sad, Man of the hour, Oceans, Indifference, I Believe In Miracles,Fuckin' Up ... hätte ich besser gefunden.
Eddie mit Bad Religion bei "Watch it die" extrem geil. Die gingen gut ab. So was hätte ich mir in Encore2 gewünscht.
Lässt man diese Gurken mal weg, bleibt da trotzdem ein gutes Set, welches wohl jeden Geschmack mit dem ein oder anderen Song bedient hat und die Philly Serie abrundet.
Ich hoffe auf Box CD/DVD von den 4 Shows.
Für jeden der live dabei war wird es wohl trotzdem eine unvergessliche Nacht gewesen sein.
Kommentar aus dem Tenclub-Forum:
After the main set the crowd sat down and barely clapped or cheered. the floor looked pathetic from my vantage point. it was disappointing. i understand people needing to sit down, but it's like the life was sucked out of the building for a few minutes. the show didn't pick back up until Jeremy, and really got going again from STBC and on.
this isn't the best pearl jam show ever or anything. it had many sloppy moments, the band seemed disorganized sometimes, and the first encore dragged. the boot should be an interesting listen. but it was a damn unique show and one that will be memorable one when all is said and done in PJ land. RITFW with the confetti and balloons was a great spectacle and awesome to be a part of. you won't see or feel that watching the set roll in on here or listening to the bootleg. here's hoping the dvd will convey some of it.
i can understand people being disappointed with the repeats. hell, i'd have loved to hear brain of j. but this show wouldn't have been as good without songs like corduoy, do the evolution, betterman and, hell, even flow. i'd be lying if i said i was hoping to not hear even flow, just because i want to know what a show is like without it. but those songs brought the show up in ways that sad, brain of j and the others left off just cannot do. the guy next to me was a first time pearl jam show-goer- he doesn't give two shits about sad, brain of j, bugs or out of my mind. i told him there were thousand of people in the arena who have been waiting for years to hear some of these songs. his experience would have been much different without corduroy, even flow, jeremy, yadda yadda. because the band gives so much to this fanbase, i sometimes forget that the band needs to cater to these type of fans, too, or the show will suffer for it.
i had a lot of fun at this show. maybe more than any show of theirs i've been to. i am so glad i came out for this one. i apologize to anyone around me who may have heard me singing or who i may have bumped into. but i was having a fucking blast and i couldn't help but show it.
