DAY 2: Thunder Bay

IT. IS. HERE. And because I'm about five minutes away from leaving, this update will be necessarily short.

Today, Pearl Jam is playing Thunder Bay. Like, for real: I've been to the venue, I've seen the trucks and I've got a pair of seventh row seats with my name on them. I'd have written a longer pregame, but having lacked internet access until five minutes ago it wasn't possible. With that...

THUNDER BAY PREGAME (and bear in mind, I'm in blackout mode--these could be WAAAY out)
-- Predicted Opener: "Small Town"
-- What I'd Like to Open: "Long Road" (duh), "Small Town", "Sometimes" (opened the first Pearl Jam show I ever saw)
-- Predicted Closer: "Yellow Ledbetter"
-- What I'd Like to Close: "Baba O'Riley", followed by "Yellow Ledbetter"
-- The One Song I'd Expect to Hear: "Small Town"
-- Five Songs I'd Kill to Hear: "Long Road", "Hard to Imagine", "Jeremy" (I have my reasons), "In Hiding", "Tremor Christ" (only song off Vitalogy I haven't heard live)

...and that's it. I'm off! In two hours I'll be in the midst of the strangest concert going experience of my life--and later today, you'll be the first to hear what it was like.
