As the lights faded on, the crowd grew restless to the torrent and tribal drum beat of a seldom witnessed, "Oceans." This rarity really fired me up and from 10 rows off the floor, we sang in harmony. But the most beautiful thing was watching the flow of the crowd as if it was one ocean itself. P.J. was really in tune and ready to rock and the crowd was too. The setlist was exciting and evenly paced, peaking during songs like "Hail, Hail" and "Cords," then settling down for songs like "Sometimes." It was a special night and the band was cruisin' in the groove, proving that they are the Pearl Jam. However, after a spitfiring set, Ed stepped foward and jokingly said, "o.k., your place or mine," joining the crowd and band even tighter. And I think that's what it's all about. It was a special evening winding down with the funky and soulful "Smile" as Jeff and Stone swapped instuments. Ending with an appropriate "Leaving Here," "which is what we're going to be doing here in a minute, so thanks a lot." So a big THANKS to the band for putting on solid shows... giving me a reason to come overseas from So. California!!!
