Re: Pearl Jam does Baba

["Travis Kurth" <tkurth@ckan.com>]

I feel cheated.  I saw Pearl Jam on July 3 in Kansas City.  I was psyched
out all day because I knew they would do a Who cover.  However, the only
cover they did was "Rockin' in the Free World".  Overall it was a pretty
good concert though.  And I can't complain about the weekend because I got
to see Roger in Denver the next night.

By the way, has anyone listened to Pearl Jam's "Pry To" from Vitalogy
backwards?
