On September 12, I (as well as four of my friends) saw Pearl Jam at the John Labatt Centre in London, and I managed to get a few shots of downtown London as well, and inside the JLC and what the concert was like seeing Pearl Jam. Over 9,600 people went to this astounding show and I had a great time, including many from the states (because it is the closest city to the US border) from Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and, of course, Michigan and some from the Detroit area. But mostly Londoners and southwestern Ontarioers, like us 4 from Stratford! I even helped two girls get pictures taken of Pearl Jam on stage! :)

Downtown Shots in the early evening... (reason why this is on here, skyscrapers/buildings!)...

Looking around the arena now... all the 9,600+ fans are anticipating the arrival of Pearl Jam, who had completed a show in Kitchener the other day...

i just finished working at the nine inch nails concert in vancouver. it looked like that, except everyone was smoking joints and they were dressed strangely
