I'm fine with their stance. I'm not fine they waited this long. I guess I have a free day in Raleigh now.

Yeah, I felt the same when Bruce canceled two days before the show but I'm sure he and PJ both had their reasons for not canceling sooner. Being a long time a Bruce fan, I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt on this and know it wasn't done this way to intentionally screw fans who had tix.

From what I've heard there was the possibility of an emergency session in NC prior to Bruce canceling and he was hoping that would repeal this law somehow, and the show could still go on. Perhaps PJ was hoping for something similar, and finally just couldn't wait any longer.

Ed talked about it a bit last night, mostly rehashed what was in the statement. When he started talking about it there was a mix of boos and cheers and he say "I'm not sure if you're booing us or mad at the bill". It was hard for me to tell as well. This area is fairly right leaning so I'm sure there were some boos for the band's opposition of HB2.

Departing for New Orleans tomorrow morning -- if you see me during the PJ set at JazzFest, say hello! I'll be wearing a ridiculously large hat and (most likely) a Wu-Tang shirt. Let's rock!!!!

Great show in Columbia. Looking forward to another one (and some bourbon) in Lexington on Tuesday.

ISO of a single for MSG 1 on May 1st. Flying up solo so hopefully can find a ticket first!

LBSUNFLWR · Apr 25, 2016, 09:14 AM

we watched the Pearl Jam 20 documentary by Cameron Crowe last night. I liked it.
Getting so excited for the show in KY tomorrow night. we have terrible seats and I heard Rupp Arena isn't very nice but...oh well!

slappymoe · Apr 25, 2016, 10:53 AM

The worst thing about Rupp is bleacher seating in the upper arena. Tough on the back and butt. Maybe they've upgraded since I was there in '03.

Standing is probably the best option.

LBSUNFLWR · Apr 25, 2016, 12:16 PM

yeah, we are up high in the shitty seats but we took what we could get.

dmooney99 · Apr 25, 2016, 05:57 PM

seeing them in philly and MSG in a few days, can't wait! although i still need a ticket for MSG 1

Came out firing! Then went Deep!

A lot of rare songs in Lex. I'm glad it was so good..... especially considering your seats.
Three hours is the norm this spring. I'm looking forward to more ridiculousness the next two nights in Philly.

LBSUNFLWR · Apr 27, 2016, 12:57 PM

yeah, we never even went all the way up to our real seats. Found a half empty row about halfway up the upper level and stayed there the whole show. Still, downstairs must have been even more incredible.

I saw PJ in '94 and '98 and then last night!! pretty remarkable. They're surely up there with the best live bands touring today.

Cameron · Apr 27, 2016, 02:21 PM

That was my 19th show last night and I'd rank it #2. Really great crowd too.
