Just got back from the Raleigh show and it rocked. Some of the set list include, Sometimes, Corduroy, Animal, Not For You, Given To Fly, Hail Hail, Wishlist, Brain of J, Faithful, Do The Evolution, Go, Daughter, Elderly Woman..., Tremor Christ, Better Man, Immortality, Even Flow, Alive, Black, Jeremy and Soldier of Love. The best show I have ever been to. There is something that takes the experience to another level when you are there in person. Ed dedicated Better Man to baby blue and the number 23 (I think it was 23, maybe 24) but if it was 23, then I assume he was referring to Michael Jordan. Mike about fell off the stage, and afterwards, Stone cracked on him saying "mike did you get stuck over there?" Overall the show was awesome and I will never forget it.

Well, this was my second time seeing the band on this tour (the first being the Seattle show) and I have to say they never sounded better. The best part of the show was watching Mike McCready run around on stage like a chicken with his head cut off. His playing was really inspired, hopefully by the crowd, which was really into the music. The show started with a great version of 'Sometimes' and they played a lot of songs of off Vitalogy and No Code, including 'Hail, Hail,' 'Habit' and 'Immortality.' As always, 'Do the Evolution' rocked as well as all of the old favorites. I was especially pleased that they played 'Faithful,' one of the gems of Yield. Eddie spoke a lot to the crowd, including a hilarious story of how he got two underage drinkers busted at a Mudhoney show the night before (they got backstage passes for their troubles). A lucky fan down front that had caught Ed's eyes with his dancing, got to sit on stage and hold the lyrics for the closing song, 'Soldier of Love.' I hadn't heard it before but it was really cool and a nice close to the show. Overall, the band sounded great and played with a lot of energy. The crowd was into it from beginning to end and it seemed to invigorate the fellas. I had a great time, what a show!

This was my third time with the Pearl Jam experience (Lollapollooza '92 and Charlotte, NC 1996), and it was so cool (like always). The songs were so clear and so well played, and the use of the monitors really helped for us poor saps on the lawn. I read the other fanviews which describe the overall experience, but something that was not mentioned as of yet, as when about halfway through the set, Eddie talks about he and Stone were drinking it up the night before in Chapel Hill. Also, when they performed "soldier of love", Eddie had a guy come up on stage and hold the lyric book for him (like he did previously at other shows). I remember looking around while Pearl Jam was playing "footsteps" and thinking how amazing it was that so many people knew a song that was not on any of their albums. All of my friends were sad that they did not play "yellow ledbetter" at the end, but the "soldier of love" song was really cool. The only sad note that I have is that my recording did not come out at all. Well, we are off to Atlanta to try again!
