  1. But they are not completely right either.
    Gosh U2 isn't Pearl Jam and vice verso. Who'd have thought.

    Its funny how people try to write down the pop tour and (probably, arguably ) the current tours and tours like 360 which was especially mind blowing stuff. And literally the most EPIC stage EVER built. And try to hold it up against a no frills band like PJ.
    I saw them on the tour supporting Backspacer for the first time and it sucked being at the back as a first time 16 year old kid. You couldn't see a goddamn thing and even the sound wasn't that good either.

    U2 builds these megalomania stages to have equal fun while catering to people all the way in the parking lot seats of the stadium. visiually and musically.
    They have their priorities slightly different i guess. But It shouldn't be written of as something negative which, when it comes from the PJ f world often seems to be the case. and it saddens me bc i love both bands so much for different reasons. It breaks my heart reading this U2 vs PJ stuff everywhere.

    I appreciate/respect this post.

    If I were to bash U2 for not changing their sets it would be for what they did back in 2015 when they advertised that they were going to perform two completely different sets over two nights and the pulled the plug on the idea AFTER we had all bought tickets.

  5. I don't really like to compare both bands, they're two bands with completely different approaches to live music. It's not really up for debate.
  6. The nice thing about U2 is that there is little to no regret when I just see one (local) show per tour. With Pearl Jam, this is not the case. Same with Radiohead (but at least I trusted my gut this time and went to both shows...and was well rewarded).

    Gotta get the family together...catch the 8:40 ferry into Vancouver...
    Drive to BC/Wash State border....
    Get across that border...Gulp
    Drive down to Seattle (about 1.5 hrs?)...
    Check into hotel...
    Entertain kids/wife (ie, let them do what they want to do)...
    Eat dinner...
    Say "goodnight" to family as I head over to Safeco

    Fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly!

    (FTR: The wife and kids wanted to come down with me to Seattle instead of staying home and me going solo.)

    Enjoy Matt... I can’t believe these shows are here already.
  11. Well gentlemen, less than a half hour ago, I got "Released."

    I sang my heart out... had some tears in my eyes...interacted as best as I could with the rest of the crowd... it was truly a wonderful experience.

    I don't want to die for a VERY long time but I fell I've lived a full life now.
