Pearl Jam Rewards Me
So Pearl Jam played in my hometown of Christchurch last night, and they rocked big time! Best concert of my life, and it’s not just cause they’ve been my favourite band since I was 15, they were genuinely amazing. They had great energy, and they really enjoyed performing and entertaining the crowd. The crowd were awesome, I was second row on the left up with fellow Ten Clubbers who were lovely. Some non club members pushed in when PJ came on, a dude stole my spot and towards the end some crazy b*tch pushed her way up. I still stayed in the 2nd row, just a little squishy.
The Set list was epic, and as follows:
Given To Fly, Got Some, Animal, Once, Unthought Known, Tremor Christ, Small Town, Worldwide Suicide, In My Tree, Marker in the Sand, Even Flow, Force of Nature, I Got Shit, Life Wasted, Garden, Do The Evolution, Go
1st encore: The End, Happy Birthday Matt Cameron, Red Mosquito w/ Ben, Indifference w/ Ben, State of Love and Trust, The Fixer
2nd encore: Jeremy, Better Man, The Real Me, Better Be Home Soon w/ Neil Finn & Liam Finn-(N. Finn), I Got You w/ Neil Finn & Liam Finn-(N. Finn), Alive, Rockin’ In The Free World w/ Ben Harper & The Relentless 7, Liam Finn & Eliza Jane Barnes-(Young), Yellow Ledbetter
I’m usually quite shy and an introvert but towards the middle I couldn’t hold my excitement, I was singing along at the top of my lungs and wasn’t bothered about getting soaked by the rain.
I took some pictures, most are blurry cause of unsteadiness of being in the mosh…
that’s my hand holding my club ticket AND JEFF AMENT’S BASS PICK!
what a way to top off the weekend of the completion of my BFA!
Looks like you had an insane time. Nice ticket stub and pic!
Sending PJ love from TN, USA..
Hey Gen, just stumbled upon your page, good reading, agree with everything pretty much. Pearl Jam was insane, Eddie Vedder is a god, Ben Harper is a pretty smooth operator as well. Anyway cool page.
