What’s a Fanview?
A Fanview is an exclusive Message Pit thread for fans that attend a concert and want to share their experience with fans that could not.
Does a Fanview need to be certain length?
No, your Fanview can be one word “AWESOME,” a few lines or a short story.
What if I’m not a great speller or the best at grammar?
Don’t worry about this, do the best you can. The Grammar Police take a holiday for these types of threads. Trust me, I speak from experience.
I have a couple incredibly interesting comments on the show -- but I wasn’t there -- should I go ahead and post them here anyway?
No, this thread is reserved for the lucky fans that attend the concert.
I need to ask a question about the concert -- but I wasn’t there. Should I ask it here?
No, I’m trying for pure Fanviews from the fans who attend the concert.
Are you a Ten Club member? Consider posting your member number and seat location with your Fanview.
A Fanview can include but is not limited to such things as your description of Pearl Jams set, the opening bands set, what it took or how you got to the show, how was the pre-party, what did you do after the show, how did you feel?
Welcome “thefireiscooking” (my little sister) and everyone else new to the Message Pit. It’s always nice to see new “user names” and first time posts.
A special Thank YOU to everyone who has posted a Fanview so far, they have been really fantastic…let’s keep it going.
See ya tomorrow at Chicago II. Peace out, edwho & thefireiscooking

....and a personal fuck you to the lady in front of me for spilling her water and getting two of my posters wet.
first off: release. GREAT to see this song live, it hearkened back to the glory days of the summer of '95 when the boys opened with this same song on July 11th in chicago.
before one of the songs ed taunts the crowd by suggesting that the large banners displaying the names of several well-known chicago professional basketball hanging above them ought to be removed as they are absorbing the sound. he goes so far as to suggest that jordan's banner in particular be removed, later quipping that he should fold it up and put in his suitcase. before another one of the songs he professes his chicagoan uprbringing and loyalty and states that he'll always be "a kid from chicago."
ed prefaced daughter by saying "this song is called 'thank heaven for little girls.'" of course refering to his two-year old daughter, who i spotted being carried by paramour/mother jill mccormick, who was walking around the floor to the sidestage before PJ went on. mccormick is tall and lanky and eddie's daughter is really cute with shoulder-length blond curly hair. she was with another older woman that i thought might have been ed's mom.
before the first encore ed goes into an extended bit about how everyone has their favorite Beatle. as he was holding his acoustic guitar and saddled with a harmonica, i immediately thought that he would proclaim lennon as his number one Beatle but instead he said that yoko was his favorite. i joined some of the crowd in booing this statement but after a few seconds he waved his finger at us and said, "you'll see, you need time" adding that people that are into "experimentation" usually find her as their favorite.
during the solemn Indifference mike's guitar tech bumbles up on stage to address some issue with mike's guitar, but somewhere along the way things screw up and mike's guitar goes "RAARRR" in the middle of the song, providing an obvious though short-lived interruption into the otherwise well-performed dirge. also (i need to listen to the bootlegs to confirm this) earlier in the show during evenflow mike's solo was questionably off-tempo for a prolonged period of time. he appeared to be in his own world and maybe wasn't very focused on the beat. but again, i need to hear the bootlegs to confirm this.
all in all, it was a great show. it reminded me a lot of united center june 98, where they also closed with baba and ledbetter. sound quality wise i thought that band could have been louder, but all in all it was a great mix. the laser lighting effects also added a great touch to the burning rockers "go" and "blood." head-smashed tambourines on baba.
can't wait for tomorrow night.
Everyone elses poster just went up in value!!!!

he grew a beard.
Damn nice seats. posters sold out fast. 2 left when i got mine. I was shitting my pants. I am gonna get there earlier tomorrow to avoid that nerve racking wait in line. great setlist.
250 feet away from the stage?!?!?
-Christopher Walken
you're=you are
your=showing ownership
The truth has a well known liberal bias.
-Stephen Colbert
pretty much how i was feelin' too.
setlist covered a lot of Ten, but there were the random gems that were great to hear again. eddie put his head through a tamborine during baba o'riley and mike charged into an amp during a solo earlier. cracked me up, these guys are never boring
ed left the stage and looked a bit confused at his wine and said "it was a two bottle night"... after close to a 3 hour set, I can imagine
Freakin' hilarious.
We sat center stage, Section2, 4th row. Ten Club number 75xxx. Great seats, thank you to the ten club.
Eddie was very nice to a lot of people tonight, Rob was in the first row, center stage, and Eddie talked during a break about how Rob was at their first concert in Chicago(I'm guessing in Chicago), back when the band was still called Mookie Blaylock (according to Ed, I'm not big on their history of exactly when they changed their name). Ed said that this guy Rob was wearing a Mother Love Bone shirt that first concert, and has been at every Chicago concert since then. Ed said that Rob was in the first row, center stage, the way it should be. Then everyone gave Rob a nice ovation. Later Eddie threw him a tamborine.
Eddie also threw a tamborine to a young girl in the third row who instantly had the biggest smile in the place as she clung to that tamborine and then sang along to Yellow Ledbetter. I think earlier Eddie was trying to point her out to get her on stage, but the security guys picked out two drunk blonde's next to her and brought them to the front row. Eddie was singing, looked over and said, "oh well." The blondes never got on stage. Neither did the girl.
Finally, they played Lowlight, which was very special for a couple in the audience in the second row. Before the show they said that they had gotten married on Saturday and the bride walked down the aisle to Lowlight. I think it's very possible someone close to band heard this story somewhere and that's why it was played. Eddie said, "we don't play this song very often, but it's special," or something like that. It was really cool watching the guy and his new bride react to the song. They were hugging and waving their arms and kissing, very nice.
Several really nice moments, just watching the reactions of the crowd. Another great concert by the guys.
Cool poster tonight, too.
One more thing to ad, during the Daughter tag, when they went into WMA, Eddie changed the words, instead of singing
"Dirty his hands it comes right off,
Policeman
Policeman
Policeman"
he sang:
"Dirty his hands it comes right off,
President
President
President"
I'm very interested in how this bootleg will sound, since you get such a different perspective in the audience with everyone singing along, you almost do not hear Eddie's voice that much.
One last thing,
My Morning Jacket ROCKS!!
Great band, best opening band I've ever seen on a Pearl Jam tour. Can't wait to see both bands again tomorrow.
Can go out to conquer a crown,
But three, with a new song's measure
Can crumble an Empire down.

Wow, great show. The energy between the band and the audience was palpable. I was blown away when they opened with Release, a distinctive favorite of mine. Looking forward to another unfolding of fabulous music tomorrow, the 2nd Chicago show. Think they’ll play Leash? Wishful thinking.

so my number is 153xxx....i've seen this band countless times since 96 and i have to admit, this show had to of been one of the worse shows i've gone too...
maybe i'm just growing tired of the band, but it just seems to me like these guys are going up there and doing the same motions they've been doing the past 15 years....does black or alive or even flow really have the same relevance or intensity it had to it 10 years ago?
my second pet peeve...why was ed really glorifying the fact that he "drank" two bottles of wine? who cares? (and two bottles of wine in two hours would put anybody on the floor...especially a guy who's no taller than 5'7") is it really wine?...
my third pet peeve.....who the hell makes out during a rock show? i'm sitting in my little section 1, 17th row seat, and around me i see couples consoling each other and kissing during the obvious songs like black and come back, but even during the faster songs like go...i mean for fuck sake, i felt like i was at a freaking aerosmith show...
finally, is anybody on this board or in this fan club critical of this band? its like this band has developed such a strong core fanzine that it really doesnt go out of its way to do something overly creative? why not be bold and make a double album? why not make an opera? do something different...sheesh....the sound is just the same...
in conclusion, i'm bored with this band...
Sorry bout'cha. It was my 11th show and the probably the best one yet. Honestly, the show was unbelievable.

For me the highlights were Release, Blood, and Baba O'Riley. I also felt the set list was a little ten-heavy, but the new songs sounded fantastic. I am very jealous of the people going to tonight's show.
ditto...spoken word or just the i'm open like hartford...
So is he?
When he was six he believed that the moon overhead followed him.
By nine he had deciphered the illusion trading magic for fact.
No tradebacks...
So this is what it's like to be an adult
If he only knew now what he knew then...
and how was i'm open???? better than hartford?
1. I've seen about 20 shows since 94. At least 1 on every US tour.
2. This was by far one of the better performances since Matt joined the band. It sounds weird but he's finally kicking ass like he should behind the kit and eddie does indeed sound fantastic. Overall sound was very very good especially for the UC. But Mike's guitars went out on State. That's sad, one of my favorite songs.
3. The set seemed "standard" until Go, Blood, Indifference encore. Awesome.
4. I don't think the band is doing the same stuff for 15 years like the guy above said because they're really really into it, BUT the crowd singing was excessive. It's cool on formerly obscure songs like Present Tense but then Better Man, Black, Alive, Jeremy etc etc. boring. I agree.
5. Crowd. It's so cool to sit behind a couple of fellow fan clubbers who you never met, strike up a conversation, have a couple of beers and have a good time. It's not cool to be driving out of the UC, have a 20 year old pull up in his SUV filled with buddies, scream out his window at you "Hey faggot! Let's race, faggot" because I'm driving a bright red roadster (it's a loaner). Somehow those guys are still coming to these shows. I don't get it. I'm 30 and married and said no thanks. I wish he had peeled out because a chicago cop blew by right as I was telling him where to stick it.

The show was very high energy, a bit Ten heavy as stated previously, but Eddie wanted to raise the 240 metric ton roof so...
I couldn't believe they played Blood!
Seating wise: 150XXX, sec 3, row 16 - I've had way better but it was okay.
PS. Really wanted to hear Gone but I'm thinking tonight I will.
oh and on the Yoko line he said something that when you're in your experimental phase your favorite beatle is Yoko. it was kind of a joke.
And eddie talked a bunch. nothing wrong with wine either. But for you worried he had a cup of "tea?" he was also drinking.
