Last night I saw My Morning Jacket and Pearl Jam at the Verizon Center in DC. It was awesome. Ok, well it wasn't NIN and TV on the Radio at Red Rocks (::sob::) but it was definitely a great show. I've never heard My Morning Jacket Before, so they weren't as exciting as they could have been, but they were pretty good and I will definitely be checking them out as soon as I have money I can spend on music again. The crowd was all Pearl Jam's though. The arena was maybe a third full after My Morning Jacket left the stage, but by the time the lights dimmed for Pearl Jam it was full.
They played a lot of new songs, which was okay, but did prompt me to turn to Spillz at one point and say "This is Pearl Jam trying to be Limp Bizkit and I wish they would stop". At one point they also seemed to be channeling Bruce Springsteen, but that wasn't quite as distressing.
The highlight of the show for me was during the firts encore when they played an AMAZING rendition of Bob Dylans "Masters of War". I want that, if anyone knows where to find Pearl Jam concert bootlegs (I have't looked very hard yet).
Yes. Now I go to get on a plane.
