Spaceman Spiff 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2004 Yeah, so I saw Pearl Jam in Reading last night. Fantastic show, with very little preaching from Eddie. The only time he talked at length was for maybe 3-4 minutes before 1 of the encores, and even then it was mainly "we live in a democracy, get out & participate". Some politically themed covers (notably "Masters of War" and "Gimme Some Truth"), and a few jabs at Bush during some songs. Pretty much a straight forward concert. Just a great, great show. The band was very active, the crowd was terrific, just an awesome show. I was hoping for a different clower than YL, since that's now 3 straight shows I've had it for. setlist: Love Boat Captain, Animal, Brain of J, Do the Evolution, Nothing as it Seems, Insignificance, The American in Me (The Avengers), Gimme Some Truth, Given to Fly, 1/2 Full, Sad, Go encore 1 (acoustic): Soon Forget, Small Town, Masters of War, Nothingman, Crazy Mary encore 2: Last Kiss, Daughter/(Blitzkrieg Bop), Bleed for Me (The Dead Kennedys), The New World (X) (with Tim Robbins), Alive encore 3: Baba O'Riley, Yellow Ledbetter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
