Just back from last nights Pearl Jam show in Toronto.
I ended up with 5th row center. I was very happy with my seats. Ed did a nice preset acoustic version of "Porch" before Sleater Kinney's set. The show itself was more or less a greatest hits set. This was not a bad thing. Many uber-fans are used to PJ throwing in rare b-sides or obscure covers in their sets, and I enjoy this as well, however last night was just as good as I have ever seen them. Blistering renditions of "Do The Evolution" "Present Tense" and "Blood" were highlights, as was a beautiful cover of Neil Young's 'Harvest Moon". U2 references were made throughout the night and Ed had jumped on stage with U2 at their show in Toronto on Saturday, so perhaps it came as no surprise when Bono joined PJ for a lights on version of Neil Young's "Rockin' In The free World". A very cool moment. Toronto is a great city and it was a fantastic night. Special thanks to my sis for coming out with me to this show.
Note: By the time Bono jumped onstage I had run out of film in my camera, so I had to post pics I found on the net.
