Pearl Jam at the O2 last night

Anyone else go? Unbefuckinlievable. They played a marathon 2.5 hour, double encore enormo-set of killer tune after killer tune after killer tune. I've been to some arena/stadium gigs in my time, but I've NEVER witnessed an atmosphere like that in a venue of that size before. Not Springsteen, not Oasis, not Metallica...none of 'em.

  • Spot on.

    Amazing show. After last seeing them at Wembley in 2007 and being very dissapointed by the whole experience, I was completely blown away last night.
    How did it compare to Shepherd's Bush?

    • ....and I knew you'd get in there next ;-)

      Can't really compare the two. For a fanboy like me, Shepherds Bush will never be beaten for obvious reasons, but the setlist last night was a bit stronger I thought. I've now gone five shows without hearing Rearviewmirror though :-(

      • Shepherd's Bush is looking like my gig of the year

        Even with the overly vocal crowd.

        Did they play any more stuff off the new one?

        • One more

          'Supersonic'. Sounded pretty average if I'm honest - had some really generic lyrics that sounded quite cringeworthy. Musically it was quite Ramones-y - like a faster version of 'Mankind'.

        • BTW

          If you're interested, there's an amazing fan bootleg of the Shepherds Bush gig already online. It's not one of those officially released bootlegs - apparently some fan managed to sneak in about £2000 worth of recording equipment!

          • I've seen it mentioned on the Tenclub boards

            and now I've had a look and found it. Ta!

  • It owned Shepherd's Bush

    I thought.

  • Good to hear.

    I preferred Smashing Pumpkins back in the day, but after seeing 'them' a couple of years back and it being appaling (i.e. Billy + randoms), and the way that PJ have carried on releasing decent stuff, and Nirvana being out of the picture, I can see how PJ might well clean up completely on the back of a/the grunge revival.
