setlist dans le premier post...

Brother, pas très surprenant (je l'avais même prédit y a quelques mois
The Real Me, très sympa
mais seulement deux nouveaux morceaux, ça confirme ce que Cameron disait en interview.
Rats & All Night comme demi-raretés

Je crains qu'on n'aura pas de nouveaux morceaux, mais la setlist est quand même assez chouette (même s'ils ont encore oublié un album qui s'appelle No Code)

Grunge legends in fine form

Pearl Jam fans treated to powerful performance

By LISA WILTON

There was only one reason why Trevor Bowen was at Canada Olympic Park yesterday afternoon.

"Pearl Jam," he said enthusiastically.

"I've been waiting 10 years to see these guys," said the 32-year-old super fan.

Eighteen-year-old David Charlton was also eager to see the veteran Seattle group, although he admitted he had only been a fan for a matter of months.

"My brother has a bunch of their older CDs and I just started listening to them," said Charlton, who was sporting a Pearl Jam T-shirt.

Bowen and Charlton were among 15,000 people who made their way to COP for the second annual Calgary Virgin Music Festival, which boasted one of Pearl Jam's first outdoor festival performances of the year.

The legendary group took the stage as clouds rolled in after a hot afternoon and were greeted by an appreciative roar and the chants of "Pearl Jam!"

They were in fine form, although perhaps not at the top of their game. However, Eddie Vedder and the boys didn't disappoint with their solid two-hour set.

Swigging from a bottle of wine, singer Vedder suffered a few bum notes, but for the most part his vocal chords were in great shape as he belted out some of Pearl Jam's best-loved hits, including Why Go and Even Flow in his inimitable tremulous, pleading style.

The first part of the set was heavy with lesser known tracks and more recent songs, which went over well, but they just whet the crowd's appetite for the big hits.

Vedder was laid back, almost spacey, and tried to be a calming influence on the heaving moshpit near the front.

Pearl Jam was obviously the biggest draw of the day -- if not the entire weekend -- and I'm perplexed as to why some fans think it's acceptable to throw assorted junk at the stage.

It's completely disrespectful to the band and makes Calgary concertgoers look like a bunch of buffoons.

It was also disappointing to witness the apathy of a significant portion of the crowd towards the rest of yesterday's lineup.

Sure, most of the opening acts are in Calgary at least once or twice a year, but they still deserved a better reception.

Mais qu'ils arrêtent avec Small town, Yellow ledbetter, Better man ou même Even flow bordel. Et Corduroy aussi.

oui, oui, oui et oui. Et oui, même s'ils ne l'ont pas jouée à Calgary. Mais bon, faut bien que le public s'y retrouve... Tout le monde ne joue pas des longs instrumentaux ambient dans un festival

1. Venue was a the bottom of a small-ish ski hill, parking was at the top. You can do the math:)
2. About 3 songs in Ed says (might be missing a few words), "So usually we keep these things a surprise, but we're feeling pretty good tonight so we'll just tell you. We're gonna play a song we've never played live before, and a couple of songs that are old enough to drive. This is a newborn." Cue The Fixer.
2. WMA tag in Daughter: Ed sings "White Male CANADIAN"
3. Ed quote: "We picked a flight to Europe with a stop over in Calgary because we were told there would be a festival of Virgins. Virgin Fest and not a Jonas Brother in sight."
4. First encore Ed comes out and says, "We're at Olympic Park, and I have to say that we'd give you a gold medal for this evening. No, actually, we'd give you an Olympic Platinum" - causing me and anyone who has ever heard that song to link his first comments about a song they've never played live before.
5. Instead they played Brother and everything was right in the world:)
6. Ed comes on after the second encore and tells the crowd that they've been told they can break curfew and play the songs the way they want to play 'em.
7. PJ rips out The Real Me and totally kicks its ass.

The Fixer and Got Some were great live

Brother was awesome to finally hear live

.... EDDIE TEASED US!! ....HE said they were going to play a realllly old song
because the venue was a former olympic site he said "i"ll give you guys the gold medal ,no wait i'll give u olympic platinum" i thought they were going to play olympic platinum and i started to freak out!!!
Instead we got Brother.

Before they played RATS eddie began to strum the opening cords from the song"BEN" from Micheal jackson, in which RATS pays homage to with the line "Ben, the two of us need look no more" eddie was a BiG motown fan when he was younger and i guess he was paying tribute to Micheal in some way

THE REAL ME was the second last song of the night and it fucking rocked!!!!
Eddie said the first concert he ever went to ,the band played this song at the very end of their set and he never will forget it
