Woah!, It was a heck of a performance, Ed was in a very good mood, and so were the rest of the band, it was difficult for them to leave the stage, everybody was so energetic, please buy this bootleg!..we got to hear not so played songs like: interstellar overdrive, of the girl, save it for later, I am a patriot, wishlist, baba o riley, mike's happy birthday song, etc. All of them played to poerfection...This was the 4th time I got to see PJ live and I can tell you it's definetly the best one yet!!!!

Ed didn't mention anything about the war as most people expected, but he didn't have too, he spoke through his heart and through his music, the energy felt yesterday by everyone is amazing...

I can't wait for the bootleg to get home, I bet it's gonna be one of the top 10 of all the tour...

I'd like to thank my wife for going with me to the show, when we were dating I always promised her that we would go to a PJ show together, she's such a sweatheart, and yesterday it finally became true, Thanks Dennise, you're the love of my life (I hope you become a PJ fan now!)....We had a great time, thanks Ten Club for the tickets, we got 10th row center...

This show, and the entire experience of going to San Antonio for the weekend will live in my heart and mind forever, thanks for reading...

Peace,
Jorge M.

This show was too awesome I hope I can make it justice by describing how energetic and fun it was with my simple words. I'd like to thank Sleater-Kinney for giving us such a great performance, I mean, at the show if you didn't know any better you'd think they were the headliner. Thanks again Sleater-Kinney!!!

Of The Girl!!!, yup that was the opener and what's a better way to open a show then with a song that has so many layers musically and emotionally it's getting you ready for something huge. They then dived right into a set that included some of the best like Faithful, SPIN THE BLACK CIRCLE and Cropduster. I didn't expect anything more than a great performance and they still gave more than that. From Ed adding lyrics to songs like Wishlist (I love you...I love my country too) and Grievance (don't give TRUST and take it back again) to the pure GUITAR GOD in work with Mike himself. (Happy Birthday!!) During Black Ed held the "All I'll ever bbbeeeeeee" note almost forever and we took over from there singing the "doo doo doo dodo dooo" and he smiled so big and pointed the mike towards us.

"Pass it around" and that's exactly what he did during the performance of Crazy Mary, he handed his bottle of wine to the crowd and asked them to "pass it around."

Did I mention that they started the show withe Of The Girl?! ;)

One word of advice, give the band all your energy, let them know how much you enjoy their music and you might be lucky enough to have a show like San Antonio. The 10C seats were high in number and we let them know just why we're in their fan club and they fed off of our energy.

In 2000 I saw them at Houston I and this 10C crowd had a different feel to it. Thanks to all the fellow 10C members who made this show what it was.

Before the show started I saw something beautiful take place, it was a mother and father with two little girls and they chatted in the middle isle at the 10C area and then they went their separate ways, the father with one daughter to one pair of 10C seats and the mother with the other daughter to another pair of 10C seats. I can't wait to experience awesome music live with my own children. You know those girls will never forget this night.

I also tried to make the night a bit more special for Mike McCready by passing out balloons for everyone to blow up but by the time I remembered about the balloons they were half way through Do The Evolution and only a handful of people blew some up and held them high, wish it could've worked out for you, sorry for the lame effort...and thank you for the awesome effort in making this the best show I've been to ever. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Mike was the lighting who lid up the horizon... Stone was the sound that blended them all together... Jeff was the rain who poured all over the place... Ed was the wave who never crashed... Boom was the echo that we couldn't forget... and Matt was the thunder that let us know just who was playing.

Thank you Pearl Jam for a show so full of beautiful music, energy and fun!!

See you at the next tour!
