Pearl Jam - Daughter / It's OK - July 22, 2006 - The Gorge - Quincy, Washington State

We flew from Chicago to Seattle on a Friday afternoon & rented an RV Saturday morning, which we drove 3 hours east to The Gorge Amphitheater in Quincy, WA. What we saw was the best band on the planet wrapping up their 68-show world tour in support of their 8th album, Pearl Jam ~ at the greatest venue we’d ever visited. From the 4th row I captured what many have considered one of the best versions of “Daughter” ever recorded. It was well over 100 degrees that entire week across the entire country & EV talked about it during the song. When he waved goodbye to the sun as it set backstage... it corresponded with everything going on at the time ~ the extreme heat, the conflict in the Middle East, the end of a long tour... & an interlude into “It’s Ok”. This was a bucket-list experience we checked off our list that weekend. If you ever get a chance to see a show @gorgeamphitheatre ~ do it! It’s a beautiful place✌️
