Shit! I busted my Pearl Jam cherry last night down in Detroit at Pine Knob (or DTE Energy Music Theater for the new-school concert-goers) and it was crazy good! Ed was off his ass, McCready was soloing up a blue streak and the setlist was all-inclusive of some lesser-known jams through the "Man Trilogy" and into the older classics during the encores. The show closed out with Steve Earle guesting on Rocking in the Free World. Sweet! We also phoned Justin during Alive and if it made it to his message centre he'll hate us forever. :) Here's the setlist...
Last Exit / Brain Of J / Hail Hail / Save You / In My Tree / Red Mosquito / Present Tense / Green Disease / Immortality / Sleight Of Hand / Whipping / Corduroy / Down / Leatherman / Nothingman / Betterman / Spin The Black Circle / Encore Break 1 / You Are / Even Flow / State Of Love And Trust / Black
/ Alive / Encore Break 2 / Leaving Here / Know Your Rights / Rocking In The Free World (w/ Steve Earle)
Bring on the Saturday show in T.O.!!

Saw this crazy band in T.O. last night. Went to the Horseshoe with Mo and Marty and their friends. Bands name; White Cowbell, from Oaklahoma. Very fuckin' crazy. A Zuul's like quality. Ten band members, all dressed in some sort of crazy outfit. They infected the entire audience with "Southern Fried SARS". We were then all quarintined by the "Sheriff" and told that the only cure was to consume alcohol and to fuck. We were then told that are clothes were infected and we had to remove them and put them in a pile so they could be burned. HMMMM! I think the craziest part of the night was not when they cut a large stuffed horse in half with a chainsaw, while they were singing a song about a chain saw, but when they started auctioning stuff off to the audience. Item #1: An old radio. Probably from the '50's. I don't think it even worked. Sold for $50.00
Item #2: An AC/DC Album. Sold for $75.00. Just saw the case never saw the actual record.
Item #3: A full set of Empire Strikes Back Trading Cards. Sold for $100.00. Maybe even more.
Item #4: One of the male band members to have for the night. You could do what ever you wanted. Sold for $65.00.
Item #5: An offical "White Cowbell Cock Rag". I don't remember how much it sold for because, one of the male band members got naked and demonstrated how to use the cock rag, while onlookers standing in front, poured their drinks all over the naked "member" of White Cowbell.
Needless to say after all the nakedness, Mo and I decided we had had our fill and needed to go home to bed.
Only in the T.!
Save your bullshit phonecalls to my answering machine for any other song but Alive...you're hurting fucking feelings over here...
