In the next few days my favourite band, Pearl Jam, will play two concerts in Adelaide. Last week, U2, another great group, were also in town. Unfortunately, I’m on the other side of the world and cannot attend.
This time reminds me of February/March 1998 when I went with university friend Ryan to see U2 in Sydney and then a week later saw Pearl Jam at Thebarton Oval.
A few days ago, members of the two bands performed a cheesy version of Neil Young’s Rockin’ In The Free World in Melbourne. Here is a much better version from Pearl Jam’s 2003 Adelaide concert. If you look carefully, you may be able to see my sister Anna’s and my bobbing heads in the front row. Anna received one of the broken tambourines this night. Other Pearl Jam Adelaide 2003 concert videos are here. If you haven’t had enough Free World Rockin’, there is also a video from Pearl Jam’s Milan concert I attended a few months ago.

Saw some people going to it. I didn’t realsie the were coming.
What did oyu do for your birthday, was it the Colombian party?
Aparently, the 2 Adelaide gigs were great concerts.
I didn’t really do anything for my birthday. The Colombian night coincided with it. This Friday night a few mates are coming for some beverages.
