Summer Concert Series: Pearl Jam

This started off pretty early. We had fan club tickets, which we had to pick up at the ticket window which opened at 3. We got there ate 2, and already the line was wicked long. It was odd, but they gave us tickets so we could leave the line and come back and find our place, which was nice because we were able to grill up some burgers in the parking lot.

The show started off great. Before the opening band came on (Buzzcocks) Eddie came out and played Dead Man Walking. It was an awesome version, and was pissed to find out that it wasnt on the official bootleg, which arrived at my door a week after the show. The Buzzcocks weren't too bad as far as opening bands go, they were very ska.

Pearl Jam rocked! I'm not going to go into what they played, but it was a well rounded and energetic performance. Eddie said that since they were playing 3 shows in Boston, they were not going to play the same song twice in any of the shows, which was awesome because they were going to get to a lot of rare stuff, but sucked because I could only see this one show.
