The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
I really had a blast. That was a collection of PJ songs that I really digged. There was 5 covers, however, all the hits weren't played. I'll take that trade now and then. Eddie was lyrically sound. His limp was only noticeable when he tried to run. The band seemed to really dig the crowd. I thought the shit was going to hit the fan when Eddie forgot to introduce Jeff. Then he mentioned Matt and Mike again. Jeff got mentioned much later in the show during Smile. Merch was setup 2 hours late. Crazy Europeans had no interest in wing seats. I had 1 st row wing and it took me 2 hours to sell for less than face. The sea of people on the floor was nuts. The upper deck stayed seated for the entire concert.

How was it hearing Black so early in the set? That's always felt like an Encore I song to me.

I like the idea of hearing it early before Ed blows out his voice singing the more raucous songs.

Five covers. Shit the bed. That a record for pj?
Champaign 2003 had 6.
Six?!?!? Bah, that's crazy. We're paying to hear Pearl Jam, after all. One or two covers, fine. But five or six is too many IMHO.
set: Do The Evolution, Corduroy, Save You, Deep, Dissident, Elderly Woman, Even Flow, Jeremy, Thumbing My Way, You Are, I Am Mine, Habit, Untitled/MFC, Given To Fly, Nothingman, Blood, Porch enc 1: Driven To Tears, Better Man, Crazy Mary, Know Your Rights, Fortunate Son enc 2: Blue Red Grey, Black, Alive, Baba O'Riley
Awesome main set. Encore indeed a bit killed by covers. Still, it had never really stuck to me and that's a boot I've enjoyed many times.

It worked well early on. Going in, I was unsure how i would like it. I like it when they switch up song placement. It adds a sense of freshness.

I enjoyed my trip to Vienna and Stockholm and I thought I'd discuss my trip. It started out on a mildly sour note. My first flight was cancelled so I needed to get rerouted through Philly, experienced a delay in Philly, but I got to Chicago in time to catch my flight to Vienna. I was also put on standby for the flight to Vienna so I was uneasy for that final 90 minutes. I arrived in Vienna and my GPS did not work too well. I logged an extra mile or two while carrying my baggage while attempting to get to the hotel. My calves were sore for 2 days. I was able to visit St. Stephens Cathedral, the art museum, natural history museum and the tourist strip around St. Stephens Cathedral. There were some very high-end stores there- 30,000 Euro watches, 10,000 Euro pens. If I ever win the Powerball and want to spend a quick $100,000, I'll go back. I ate Wiener Schnitzel at Figlmuller which is one of the oldest restaurants in Vienna, gnocchi with Gorgonzola sauce at Mariahifterbrau, Dumpling with Egg at Schilling and Egg Dumpling at Schilling (Dumpling with Egg and Egg Dumpling are different dishes). Some restaurants even had mustard and ketchup on their menu meaning you had to pay for it. Dinner rolls were also a pay item. Almdudler soda was absolutely spectacular, a ginger-ale esque drink. I also tried local pear juice mixed with soda water. Nothing was served with ice. Vienna was a very large city and at times it was tiring to be a tourist on foot. I regret not checking out their ferris wheel. I was completely unaware that it has "box cars" rather than carriages. I thought the people had some of the poorest sidewalk etiquette I've ever encountered and that's including NYC. The basic concept of waiting in line was difficult for many people too. I had to pay a use a toilet once.
