Rockin' out to Creadles
and was the place packed with fans behind the stage and up to the ceiling or was the show a complete failure in terms of ticket sales according to starfu#ker???? could you play a full game of soccer on the floor?
thanks!

During Baba Jeff did a really funny dance with Mike, then later did a full dance (spinning around in piroets with his hand over his head) across the stage. Good stuff.
I guess my only complaint for the night would be my tenclub seats. I was side of stage with an obstructed view by the wires coming down. While a buddy of mine who has a worse # than me was like row 25 on the floor. I think being on the floor row 25 (at least for me cause I am tall) would probably be better because it is easier to get into the show when you are looking right at the band. Being sidestage you somewhat just get to see, well the side of people. However with that said I was on Mike's side and did get to see some ripping solos.
Anyway this and Gorge were a good start to the tour, 15 shows to go, 8,000+ kilometers. If anyone sees our van along the way give us a honk, or come stop by and say hello!
That aside:
I think we are starting to take songs like Immortality, Nothingman, Blood ,Alive, DTE, GTF, Baba etc for granted...
What I mean is that the overall setlist is much more imortant than a couple of rarities.
Add Footsteps Bee Girl and U (those are rarities aren't they?!?) and 29 total songs and you have what seems to me one of the best setlists in recent PJ live history.

Milan 2006

Something like Come to a country, that doesn't go always go to war, come to a country, that takes care of it's poor, I wish my country did the same, but they set a good example or something like that can't fully remember anymore.

I was absolutely blown away. I could probably write an entire novel on how incredible the experience was, but I'll keep it short
When Release came on, I am pretty sure tears came to my eyes. After that many years I couldn't believe the music was being generated right in front of me. All the guys in the band looked amazing (nice beard, Stone!), and I just have to say, Eddie sounded INCREDIBLE. His voice is in top form, I couldn't believe it. Anyways, I'm trying to keep it short! When they played Given to Fly, I think I died a little inside; I've never danced so hard in a public setting. Incredible. And then BLOOD! was nuts!! Bow wow wow yippee yo yippee yay bow wow yippee yo yippee yay. Alive was insane, Eddie was moving around like he was back in '92. Footsteps was great to hear; U sounded really good too, although I felt like the only one who knew all the words
So much for keeping it short, eh? Anyways, I am just so thankful I was there; I will never forget any of that. I hope I get to experience it again
I'm also glad to hear they played Bee Girl and Immortality. I only wish they would've played them at The Gorge. Those were two songs that I really wanted to hear. I'll settle for Undone, Hard to Imagine and LowLight. Those were great to hear Thurs. night!

So this was my first PJ concert, and man I was not disappointed. No, you couldn't play soccer on the floor- it was packed- I was in the balcony so I had a good view of the crowd!
I know on these boards there are always a lot of people who go to a lot of shows, but for a first timer this one was not generic, more perfect. I regret that it is over. I have never heard as many people singing as when they played Better Man, and I didn't know anyone could play guitar while basically performing all the events at a track meet, like Matt (?) did. Although there was mike problems at the beginning, like someone said. Also, Vedder told us about his kid coming up, which was pretty cool.
30 songs, 3 encores, 2 1/2 hours, wow. And the crowd was really really loud.
These questions might be answered somewhere else, I haven't looked yet, and I am not complaining, but I noticed that Jeremy, Once, and Crazy Mary were not played- do they ever play these songs, or are they avoided for certain reasons?
I have also heard elsewhere that some people (and I see we have to remain respectful here) have problems with PJ concerts because EV gives speeches, but for myself I kind of wish he had talked more- again not a complaint at all. He said three things I think, none of which was political, the only instance of that I saw was the above quote from Wishlist.
It was a highlight for me, a great way to end the summer!
When Pearl Jam comes to town, how can you not be excited? You listen to them at parties, on your mp3 players, and in your vehicles all year round. Then the 10C gives you the shot at getting the best tickets in the house for a great price. Speaking as a kid from the 70’s, you can now get a tank of gas for the price of a Pearl Jam concert. How can you afford to miss the moving train these guys are on when they play live?
Moving forward. Good karma all around all day and night. Met some cool fans getting my tickets in the early afternoon and helped some out too. Gave a big bottle of Canadian wine to the ticket booth to pass on to the 10C – hope they got it – and if not, hopefully someone took it down and passed it around.
I brought my girlfriend to her first Pearl Jam concert. She bought me a shirt and even recognized a few songs. She was disappointed we had three encores and the Def Leppard show she went to last week only had one. Nevertheless, she had a wonderful time and we danced in the aisles. Thanks 10C for great seats. We’re both tall and they put us in row 23 where there was a walkway plenty of room to dance and not get in the way of the people behind us or in front of us. I’m sure they arranged that for us.
The Supersuckers were a heavy and loud band and I was rocking out to them by myself while my girl was off getting a shirt. I’m seeing three more shows in Ontario during this tour and although I look forward to seeing Sleater-Kinney, I wish I could have seen these guys again.
The last Supersuckers song had a special guest. Some guy in a silver suit with a wrestling mask on came out to sing with them and had the rest of the crowd standing for their finale. Some guessed it was Eddie. Some guessed it was Nicolas Cage. I think it was Tom Petty.
The setlist was amazing. What I love about a Pearl Jam show is you are always happy with what you get and also realize how many good songs they just don’t get a chance to play. How many other bands have played three consecutive nights and play close to 100 different songs without a repeat?
No Bushleaguer. No political messages tonight. No upcoming album songs were played. Although I would have also enjoyed listening to the preceding stuff, it was just good ole rock and roll tonight and an escape from the recent negative news in our world.
In summary, a great mix of their work was performed. Highlights for me were Go and Animal back to back after Release kicked things off. Mike was a magician as per usual with the guitar behind his head and was jumping throughout the night. Ed was swinging the microphone around and even smashed the stand once. Jeff was bouncing and did a pirouette during an encore song. Stone rocked out on Evolution. Matt destroyed Immortality. Boom’s hands were surfing along fine and the whole band were having fun with the rest of us.
½ Full was amazing. This is a rocking tune and my fave off of Riot Act. They jammed at the end of the song and Ed reflected a mirror throughout the crowd during the end of it. When the mirror ball showed up for Wishlist I was hoping that amazing performance would be followed by the power chords to start ‘Downtown’ with Neil Young. We are way too spoiled to even think about that. The mirror ball was still twirling but the next note was from the page of intensity with Lukin going into a great Grievance.
Blood ended off the main set list and the band was tight. In a move I never thought I’d do, even I had to pull out my cell phone, speed dial my brother in Ontario who was likely sleeping, and leave the intensity of Blood on his voicemail to give him a fix of what is to arrive out there soon.
The three encores were amazing and they were all wonderful tunes. Download them for yourselves. The band members had their arms around each other as McCready wailed away the final strums to Ledbetter and we all lived happily ever after on the night of September 2, 2005.
The rest of Canada is in for a treat.
If the band feeds off half the energy from these shows to inspire them to finish off their new album, we will be very fortunate people. Also, they will have to come back to play those songs I would think….
See you in Kitchener, London, and Toronto. And if anyone sees the band, please ask them to play ‘Present Tense’ or ‘Light Years’ in any of those venues if you get the chance.
Anyone?

Not likely Petty. He had a gig at The Gorge last night.
Any Baby T's? or programs?
Just wanna know how much I can expect to plow at the merch stand in Kitchener lol
Ohh ya did Eddie do a preset? I hear he came on with the supersuckers, which is cool.
So many times you go to events where the sound level is high because they pump music the whole time (Sonics anyone?). But the crowd in Vancouver was - believe it or not - louder than the band. It was incredible.
I was disappointed at first in my 10-club seats - 20 rows up on Mike's side. But I was wrong, it was a great spot. My son and I couldn't believe the energy level a first, something that wasn't recreated later in the concert except for Evolution. Or perhaps it was me that was tired, when they played Porch I could hardly move.
Thanks 10 Club and thanks Pearl Jam; memories of two great shows that I'll always be able to share with my son.
Never really liked Bee Girl until last night, it was lovely and the way Eddie did it was like so touching. And sweet.
My number (so sad) is 338XXX and our seats were not on the floor, but three rows up maybe 20 rows from the stage and they were great seats. We met a guy in the airport today whose number was like 220XXX and he was on the floor but pretty far back and said he would have rather been up higher. Go figure. We sat with great great people who'd been to the Gorge and told us all about it (Low Light at sunset sounds like it was incredible), and everybody around us was singing and dancing and I can barely talk today, I am so hoarse.
Pearl Jam fans are the BEST.
The show last night was awesome.
Booms Organ says *Tylenol with CODEINE w/o Rx!*
Who the hell were those 2 tall ass guy geeks with the flyers joiseys anyway?
**AMENTSCHICK - HOT DAMN!!!!! DID YOU SEE THE JASS WHEN HE JUMPED ON THE DRUM RISER? :eek:

You make me feel uncalm and I think I like it - 311
JEFF ROX MY SOX!
"Jeff is just a badass all the way across the board" ~aNiMaL~
"Chill out Kaddikat"
To the two dudes from L.A. that I met- how exactly WERE you able to predict the first five songs of the show... did ya steal a setlist or something?
And Mike McCready... the man is magic. Some of the guitar wizardry was fabulous. He was so full of energy and so enthusiastic, he really kept the crowd roaring louder and louder. And he just went NUTS on DTE... gotta love it. Also, the solo he played behind his head... wow haha. Nothing like a little showmanship!
I had a great time, thank you Pearl Jam
P.S. nice beard Stone
**Vancouver 09/02/05**
I didnt think the set was generic. They played all their old, good stuff which is what I wanted to hear. I am so happy they played Black this time. That is my favourite song. The only song I wished they had played was Jeremy. But oh well, the show was still sooo amazing. Hopefully they will play it next time they come here.
Peal Jam, keep on rockin'
