This image truly captures the essence of Pearl Jam's philosophy and musical direction. They've always been an insular band that has fought hard to not be famous for their image but much rather have their music approved by their audiences. Metaphorically this image suggests just that wherein despite the spotlights being focussed on the band, their silhouettes are the only potent visuals that emerge through the lens. Ok, enough crap! This was probably the second most rocking PJ show I'd ever seen. Partly because it was in fact the second and so far the last PJ show I've seen. The previous one was back in 2003 when I was fortunate to get to see them at Madison Square Garden. Though there's no words to describe the rush I felt as I entered the arena,their DVD - Live at the Garden comes close to capturing that moment when watched in surround sound theatre on a projected screen. I haven't had the chance to relive that because though I possess a copy of the DVD, I don't make enough money to buy myself a good home theatre system and a decent digital projector. I do, however very graciously accept donations which can be mailed in to me at 10, Fort Greene Pl.,Apt#3R, Brooklyn, NY11217. On another note what would've made the concert unrelinquishable moment to moment would probably be the presence of Amit aka Munna and Sumeru aka Smash! Damn.....when'll that day arrive?
