Lollapalooza 2007 – Day 3.

We showed up at the gate at around 11:15am and there was a huge line full of insane pearl jam fans. The insane posse ran in a full sprint to the main stage an entire 9 hours before the show. Kelly and I (after leaving behind everyone else) swiftly strolled to the prime location that Dom and I would man for virtually the next nine hours in what had to be 90 degree tempatures. At times we were fighting off delirium and people from all sides. I think it was worth it but time will only tell.

Kings of Leon were badass, their bass player is the most ‘Rock Star’ bass player of all time. I’m pretty sure he didn’t sweat the entire show even though it was a thousand degrees. Eddie Vedder closed out the set with the band.

Pearl Jam was awesome as you would imagine. They played a couple songs with Ben Harper and the show ended with Eddie singing ‘Rockin’ in the Free World on the shoulders of Dennis Rodman. It was awesome. Best Pearl Jam show I’ve ever seen.

Lollapalooza 2007 – Day 1.

Before heading down to Lollapalooza Julie and I caught the Mets – Cubs game at Wrigley Field where Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam sang ‘Take me out to the ballpark’. The Mets won 6-2 which means I’m 2 for 3 in Midwest Mets Games.

On to Lollapalooza:

We made it down to the show in time to see The Black Keys and Ben Harper which is all I really wanted to see the first day. I managed to work my way up to the stage, so we had a great spot for both shows. The Black Keys were awesome but as you will see there were camera guys everywhere.

There are only 2 guys in the Black Keys… yet there were 4 camera guys.

Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals were classic. The only part of the show that was bad was when Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam came out and the douchebag camera man decided to sit directly in front of him and right on the stage so no one could see him play. It was just the worst thing I’ve ever seen.

Hye Bar on Southport.

Last night a bunch of us went over to Hye Bar on Southport after our cookout where we met up with Kelly and maybe had a beer or two. Some one probably had some shots, there might even have been some pizza eaten near midnight, this of course is only speculation. Speculation, because I don’t even remember Dom and I calling Myles Tersnak to inform him of being a douchebag. I know of this because of the call I got this morning from Myles explaining the voice mail that was left.

Good times had by all.
