I was at this show. It was pretty good. I have much more fond memories
of GA shows in my younger days than I do now.
It used to always be mosh pit and be up close vs. seated seats and no
pit. I think it'd been so long since I saw PA in a GA environment
(seattle '98 I think.. if you don't include vancouver 2000).
So it took me a little bit to tune out the elbows and crowd surfers
almost taking my head off... or some guy on speed who almost took out 12
people because I was the only one that knew the name of given to fly.. lol.
Once I got into it though.. It was really good. I loved hearing rats,
and the WMA tag on daughter was awesome.
It seemed to also take the band a little bit to get into it, but I think
by the end of the first set.. they were right into it, and the energy
level went up a few notches.
Brother was awesome and it took me a little bit to realize it was the
real me...
not bad at all for a festival. It was pretty funny though, we got there
at 6:30pm and people were coming in droves.. I really wondered how many
people bothered to show up for the rest of the festival and how many to
see pearl jam.
getting out of that venue was a nightmare. first the hike back to the
top of the mountain damn near killed me :) and second there's only two
exits out of the parking lot back down off the mountain. there were
accident's on both sides, and traffic turned into a giant cluster****.
I drove back to Edmonton after the show, I got home shortly after 2pm.
18th pearl jam show, and the first one where I got to sleep in my own
bed after the show (take that all you whiners who complain about having
to take road trips to see pearl jam :) ).
This has got me all warmed up to see the Seattle shows next month.
Still a little dissapointed that they didn't announced Vancouver at the
same time. I probably would of made a week of it, but now my vacation
is mostly used up.
