Single Blog Theory is looking into going to an MSG show... we'll see.

Labels: shows, tour

The first videos are coming from Pearl Jam's 2007 European tour. Here's "Given To Fly" from the first night on the tour, Lisbon, Portugal:



It appears YouTube user, alittledropofpoison, is putting up a few videos from the show. Check 'em out.

UPDATE: Lots of video coming in on the Single Blog Theory video page.

UPDATE 2: There are some great photos up at Army Reserve. Check it!

Still no word on bootlegs. No word on posters, either. It appears that there was no poster for last night's show (festival show) but there's a pretty lame litho out there and it seems Brad Klausen's "Wave" poster is being re-used as a tour date poster. Word on other merch available at the shows is slowing coming out.

For those of you who attended Pearl Jam's Toledo, Ohio stop on the 2004 Vote for Change Tour, your memories of the venue will be just that, memories. Toledo's antiquated Sports Arena will be meeting the wrecking ball soon, and coming down with it will be ghosts of performances past, such as Bruce Springsteen, Aerosmith, Van Halen, Pearl Jam, Neil Young, Young Jeezy, Johnny Cash, Nine Inch Nails, Kid Rock, Bob Seger and many, many more. The Toledo Blade is asking for your memories of the place, so if you are so inclinded, give them a holla.

Personally, I was at the show and pretty blown away to see PJ in such a small setting. That is, compared to your typical arenas and pavilions. It was old, musty, cold, crowded and loud. My ears were ringing for a day or so after that show. It was damn loud, just the way we like it, right? Here are the photos I took that night at the show, and afterwards while waiting for the drawbridge to come back down. For those of you that where there, you know EXACTLY what I'm talking about.
