    The poster is really unfortunate timing. Glen's friend Danny Sheehy was killed when his boat capsized the other day. One of the three lads he rowed from Ireland to Spain in the little currach last year.

    Weirdly unfortunate timing.

    He's dedicating a song to him now

    People always complain about The Marquee having poor sound so it must have been really bad at the 3Arena that night :-)

    Outrageously good, bloody hell could spend a day coming up with superlatives for him. Ticked off loads of PJ songs I wanted to hear live.

    Open All Night.... damn it to hell. Was hoping that would be played in Dublin. Wished I'd went down now.

    And Bad? Is that a first? Hope someone uploads that.

    Great gig, genuinely.

    Off He Goes, Black, Comfortably Numb and Falling Slowly were my highlights of the night. Nice to finally hear Driftin live also.

    The reaction to Falling Slowly was unreal. Delighted for Glen, who was also amazing. The OH never seen him before, think I have some competition now for her affections.

    Come ere, does Eddie's wife introduce him at all the shows? The f*cking language out of her :pac:     That was his production manager apparently.

    Excellent show, really enjoyed it and Eddie Vedder seemed to enjoy the energy in the crowd.

    A special thank you to the d1ckhead who wouldn't shut up right behind our seat. We moved out to standing and had a great time.

    The sound tonight was the best I've heard in a good few years at the marquee.
    I'm putting a lot of that down to no drums, as the bass is usually overpowering and distorted.
    It tends to be hit and miss there, alot depends on the sound engineer.
    Tonight was excellent though.

    Great gig.
    Ed seemed genuinely embarrassed about it being over twenty years since he played in Cork. Hopefully he and the rest of Pearl Jam will be back here soon and stop avoiding Ireland on their tours.
    The crowd were magnificent tonight, no yobs or drunks about, and the atmosphere was electric, I thought the roof was going to come off at times.

    What was the story with the white lab coats though, really strange.

    Such a special gig. Worth the ticket price to hear black the way it was, with the crowd and everything.

    Elderly woman behind the counter, black and surprisingly falling slowly were my highlights.
    Always know it's a good gig when all you want to do is go home and listen to them again

    Would have loved to have heard Jeremy and your true but you can't have it all!!been to many a marquee gig and that's by far been the best sound.

    Here's hoping for pearl jam to play in pairc ui caoimh next year

    Felt sorry for Hansard - people not bothering their arses to watch him. He was class too.

    'Eddie if you told me you murderer a man, I'd grab my shovel' Great line.

    Can't get over how small Vedder is. He is amazing, couldn't have hoped for better.

    Why do people have to record stuff on their phones. Even after being asked to not be like the gob****es in London. ****

    UNBELIEVABLE gig ....
    The atmosphere for a 'solo acoustic' gig was absolutley electric... Hair standing on the back of my neck for Black, Elderly Lady..... and even Last Kiss.
    Crowd were really up for it... Glen was too, and Ed god damn was also....

    (Anyone that had been to PJ gigs in Ireland, has heard all that "i wont wait so long to come back next time" previously, but hopefully he will stand by his words this time....

    Best gig ever ? Damn bloody close !

    Was wondering this myself. Idea came from Neil Young in the 80's apparently. Eddie's solo tour to start was an experiment. Hence the lab coats, which have stuck.

    Think we were lucky to get any version of Black in Dublin. It wasnt on the original setlist and we could clearly hear Eddie prompting the big fella to sing Last Kiss but he was having none of it and think he decided it would be Black and Eddie just went with it :D
