No one will probably be ultra-thrilled with what I had to say, but considering I used to tell people I thought Pearl Jam sucked, this is pretty positive. From another thread:
It was pretty much what I was expecting. I had fun, and they did a great job doing what they do (I personally don't connect with what they do all that much though). I would preferred to not hear the entirety of the new album live personally, 5 or 6 songs would have sufficed. I felt lame at first for only knowing lyrics to the mega hits from the first few albums, but then I realized that most every one was in the same boat. There were maybe 2 or 3 other songs I could actually hear some scattered singing along to that I wasn't singing to. I actually sang along to a Ramones cover they did that no one else knew, so that was interesting. It was a good show, they really are great live, but I've seen dozens and dozens of shows by other bands I enjoyed more than it. It didn't "change my life" like everyone in the Pearl Jam thread attempted to imply, but I probably do like them ever so slightly more than I used to.
