In just a few hours, I will be at Wrigley Field in Chicago, seeing one of my favorite bands. I have Loved Pearl Jam since the early 1990's when I first got a bootleg tape from a friend that had all these B Sides from their singles and a live show in Europe. I fell in love with them, their cover of the Beatles "Ive got a feeling" became a favorite. Some other songs from their second album were on this tape as well, they had been playing "Alone" and "Leash" live and before the second album came out. Ever since then I have been in love with them.
I never got a chance to see them until 1998, on their tour for "Yield". I Got tickets for the United Center show in Chicago, and also for the 2 shows that they played in Alpine Valley, WI. I had heard that they never repeat a setlist from show to show. It was true. Now 20 years later I am in Chicago, seeing them for the 20th and 21st time. They no longer have opening bands, they play 30-35 songs each show, and are on stage for over 3 hours.
So Its time to take a shower and hit the road for Wrigley, Hope you all have a great weekend, I'll be in Chicago until Tuesday morning. Going to be awesome.
