    with the exception of the show being delayed, I thought it was good.

    Redemption song was a nice surprise (next Christmas single) and RITFW rocked

    Was in vip3 section which was probably about 80% people who were primarily there to see Pearl Jam. Crowd off a little, probably from combo of no alcohol at site, being waaaay much farther back seating wise than used to (vip3 section equivalent of rear lawn seats for most outdoor venues they play), and buzzkill of speech after speech that seemed like same message over and over for about 30 minutes after Beyonce ended. Just when you thought it was time to go on, they introduced another speaker, so some boos near end. Irony is these are probably the same people who have no issues waiting hours in line for Ames poster.
    Alive was very good version. Lightning Bolt maybe a little better than usual version, rest of "first set" pretty standard. Ed's voice on the non acoustic stuff maybe a little deeper/off compared to usual. Imagine definitely the highlight, especially since in Central Park. Redemption Song with Beyonce very cool too, broken up by Nelson Mandela speech. Nice version with them trading verses. Was kind of hoping for her husband to come on next and do 99 Problems again like Made in America but got the expected RITFW.
    Quality effort with two rarities/breakouts but if I would have paid extra premium on secondary market tickets or traveled a long way, I'd be a little disappointed given length of show.

    Just got home! The day went as expected, more or less. I enjoyed all the music acts (REALLY enjoyed Ed Sheeran and Beyoncé). I think they had too many speakers, especially between Beyoncé and Pearl Jam, they should have just went from Bono to Pearl Jam.

    Pearl Jam sounded amazing. I loved Redemption Song with Beyoncé, that was nicely done. You guys going to the Latin America tour are in for a treat, Ed's voice sounds great.

    Spent most of the day around some cool Beyoncé fans in VIP2, and then me and my buddies brought it for Pearl Jam. Hope the band could feel the energy from behind VIP1. The mix of people in VIP1 was...interesting.

    All in all, super stoked that I got to see Pearl Jam twice in my awesome city and very happy that they are sounding really tight. I mean, I just saw my favourite band in Central fucking Park! Dude.

    The circle is complete; got to PJ with Jay-Z on the great Art Museum steps in Philly (my home) & now PJ with Beyoncé in the landmark that is the great Central Park in the beautiful NYC!

    Also just remembered a few more highlights. Ariana Grande with Coldplay was really lovely. They did a song that Harry Styles wrote. Not sure if that means it's a One Direction song or a song he wrote for her to sing. I've never heard her before, kinda wrote her off as a manufactured pop singer but I loved it! Sheeran with Beyoncé on a Beyoncé song was nice too.

    On the train home. Still processing. Watching again. We were super close and actually moved to the side a bit for some more breathing room. Was a great spot bc I could jump around without stepping on anybody. I heard daughter live for the first time since my 98 show... And I was in attendance with my almost 16yo daughter who is such a champ to endure this day with me. She really wanted gtf and dte and got them both. The band sounded amazing! Stone killed that solo in ritfw. He was having fun and dancing around a lot. I'm sure they would have loved to play more. It feels like an appetizer. Definitely left me yearning for more. When is the next tour announcement? I miss you already.

    Thank you Pearl Jam. Until next time....

    Didn't attend, so I won't hijack the Fanviews thread, but I just wanted to say that I spent the live broadcast in a real-time chat with a dear friend and fellow Pearl Jam fan whom some people here might remember. She's a lovely soul and I had a blast "witnessing" the concert with her. Great times!

    We all expected that the set might be short. Despite the length, the boys sounded incredible. Love this band too much to be upset that it was so short.

    I heard the entire show from outside the great lawn. The delayed start helped me get into a good listening spot to hear everything. I knew it was a good sign when the first police officer I asked for directions said he could the acts all the way at 72nd and fifth. Would I have liked to be there in the location, sure, but I was working (covering the Yankee game at 4:05) and don't necessarily have 175 or 225 to spend on concert tickets, especially for a 12-song setlist. The set was about what I expected though redemption song and Imagine sounded great. So thanks from beyond the fence for another show and yes I'm counting one I heard from outside the fence as attending a show.

    Def not anywhere near a typical show.... I still had fun in vip3

    Obviously selfish me wanted 30-40 more minutes

    Stoping at 10:15ish is odd on a Saturday night in NYC

    Just got back from show....stupid me forgot to add extension on dvr.... Only like 3 songs taped

    Making my way home and overall I'd say great night. My highlight was getting separated from my friend and chillin alone off to the side in VIP 2. A security guard comes and asks me why I'm alone so I say I lost my partner.
    He then tells me it's too nice of a night to be alone and let's me into VIP 1.
    I then make my way about 3 off the rail and go nuts!
