RAJESH WARRIER

Jeremy spoke in Class today
Monday, May 29, 2006

Eddie had the crowd on their toes till midnight. Tweeter Center, Camden was a superb location - right over the bridge from Philadelphia and the view of the downtown from the lawn was OMG. Good that we got tickets to the Lawn, the closed enclosure and the front row seats wouldn't have let us enjoy the way we did back on the grass. Oh well, atleast we jumped up and down and screamed and made frequent trips for the refills :)

The show was sssuperb, my first PJ concert though and was attended by a freaking 20,000 PLUS crowd !!!

Eddie started off with an acoustic - Gone and then went on to play, Life Wasted, World Wide Suicide, Severed Hand, I am Mine, Porch, Come Back, Alive, Even Flow and many more !!! The pace was superbly set and I was jumping up & down much like the crowd present, waving hands , whistling, shouting on top of my voice, yelling rather. Sigh ~ if I had a penny for every whistle I blew or everytime I screamed, woulda become a millionaire by midnight tonight ;)

And now I've been diagnosed with ailments - cure unknown.

Symptoms -

A buzzing sound, echoing in my ears.
Throat - took the beating throughout the 3 hours and now isn't able to generate sound in a smooth fashion.
Sore throat - needs to be cleared every 2 minutes.
Need to amplify sounds so as to comprehend what's being said.
Tired calf muscles, a result of jumping for 150 minutes.
Pain in the Neck (the back side to be precise) - would last for coupla days atleast.

... and many more.

Possible Cure - Plug in my Ipod and listen to more Pearl Jam :D. Some snaps coming along tomorrow.

Must convey my official thanks though, for that awesome idea for the long WE ;-). I actually feel that my system has purged and recharged, to take on more shit :-). The concert was heaven man.
