Well my love for Pearl Jam continued last night. Pearl Jam played at the Pacific Colosseum for the first time since 1998 and it seemed like an old school show. A lot of old songs were played and it was great for the real enthusiastic fans. My favorite part of the show was when Ed Ved was bashing on Seattle fans. Again!

Weezer in Seattle

On Friday night we went to Seattle to see Weezer perform. Why did we go to Seattle when they were playing Live at Squamish? Well for the simple reason because they were performing their Memories set list. The Memories show is them playing the Blue Album and Pinkerton in their full entirety.

It was at the WaMu theater that was basically a convenstion center that they do concerts in. I thought that the sound would be really crappy but it ended up being quite good. The Thermals from Portland was the opener and they were okay, but really everyone was looking forward to Weezer.

The show was awesome. Weezers first two albums are the best ones in my opinion and to hear all the songs were awesome. I thought that the show was awesome and they played great. To close the show, they came back on with the lights on and played Blast Off, which they have never played live before and it is the opening track off of the never released Songs From The Black Hole.

Great show!

Here is Weezer covering Radiohead.

Soundgarden

I have been waiting for a long time to see Soundgarden play live. I have gone and seen Chris Cornell play live 2 times solo act style, but it wasnt the same. On Friday, Al and I got the chance we have been waiting for for the last 15 years. We got to rock out to Soundgarden live at Rogers Arena.

To tell you the truth, Vancouver got the shortest setlist on the whole tour. We got 20 songs and the standard had been 23. The show was good but not with out a few problems. For starters, you could hardly head Kim Thaiyl’s leads. A little disappointing! But Chris Cornell’s voice was on fire and Matt Cameron is a monster behind the drum kit.

Highlights were Outshined, Jesus Christ Pose, Fell On Black Days, 4th of July and Rusty Cage. And to think that Bad Motor Finger isn’t even my fav Soundgarden album! If any one has one of the belt buckles, let me know!

Set List
Searching With My Good Eye Closed
Spoonman
Gun
Jesus Christ Pose
Blow Up the Outside World
The Day I Tried to Live
My Wave
Burden in My Hand
Ugly Truth
Fell on Black Days
Loud Love
Drawing Flies
Black Hole Sun
Outshined
Rusty Cage
Superunknown
4th of July
Encore:
Beyond the Wheel
Mailman
Slaves & Bulldozers
