As you can see I got some pictures :D

Seats were about the same number rows back as last summer @The Warner, but last time I was on an aisle... this time dead center. (and if there hadn't been a 6 ft tall guy in front of me with a big head it would have been perfect!)

The Lyric was an easy drive and parking was easily found ... for only $8!

My friend C and I had dinner at City Cafe. I got soft crabs and they were yummy.

We walked back to the Lyric and I got in a very long drink line. It moved slowly. 1 order after me they were out of beer! (Weird they were obviously not ready for an Eddie Vedder crowd - ha probably because everyone that ordered ordered 2 :P). Checked out merchandise but the line was huge, and the prices were crazy ( and I was low on cash).... maybe 10 Club will have excess for sale after the tour).

Made our way to our seats and found the first 2 drunks being escorted out... they had apparently been harassing the people in the seats in front of them (and we were seated right next to the harassed people) and then puked on the floor!

Eddie eventually came out... cheering ensued. Then he told us to sit because we were at the Opera after all :P Setlist was a good mix... of old and new...opened with Walking the Cow, closed with Hard Sun. Set also included Patriot(!) EWBTCIAST, You've Got To Hide Your Love Away, Gone, Porch, Arc was cut short, and a few others.

Consensus was that the vibe was off near the end (with Arc cut short), but overall a good show. Awesome to see Eddie, but I can't wait for Live Pearl Jam... hopefully this fall :D

Yesterday on the way home from work I was behind a MD license plate that said PRL JAM!
