Pearl Jam @ O2

[evenflow]

Anyone else going to see Pearl Jam at the O2 this summer?

Got my tickets from a friend of mine from university for the 18th August. I haven't seen him or spoken to him for nearly 5 years, but we shared a love of PJ and saw them at Wembley Arena in 2000. Yesterday he rang me completely out of the blue and told me we were going! What a complete hero.

never managed to get any, I was on the ticketmaster site as they went on pre sale and couldn't get standing

I've seen them every uk tour since brixton in 93 (i think) but just could not get them for this one. I'm going to try flea bay nearer the time but if anyone has a spare standing ticket I will be eternally grateful. Please pm me if you do

Managed to get two tickets in the pre-sale for Manchester the day before... can't wait!!

Haven't seen them before, as I only started getting into them in the last few years. From the DVDs and bootlegs I have I'm expecting a good night!!

Spent 1 hour trying to get tickets last friday - the SeeTickets website is st. No luck again!

And so the day of the concert dawns. Very, very excited about this one

Managed to get tickets after a tip from Ten Club - I was trying (in vain) to get tickets fro last weeks Sheperds Bush gig when there was an announcment hat more seated tickets were available!

It may not be my preferred choice of tickets but at least I will finally get to see them!

Saw them last night - You won't be disappointed.

The set list was really varied, with a few mellower songs thrown in. Highlights for me were Black, Given to Fly, Rearviewmirror and Alive.

During Even Flow the vocal part was just finishing, and there was a wee instrumental bit before it lauches into Mike McCready's solo. I happened to look over to where Mike was standing, and noticed that his guitar strap was off. I thought it had slipped out the holder, but no, he was adjusting it so that he could play the solo BEHIND HIS BACK!!

Fantastic show.

Edited to add - just found Even Flow on Youtube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SApaAfeDIAs

Were you there on the 18th? If so, and in case you can't wait, try here http://www.guitars101.com/forums/f90/pearl-jam-200...

I got a copy of the Manchester one I was at, but will probably get the official one, as even thought the quality is listenable, having the proper mixed and mastered one will be a hundred times better.
