My family attend show. My family recently move from Norway. This our first show. I find spectacle to be giant. Many nice sound. Matt lacked luster though. Son loved Solat tonight. His favourite play song. Me and wife like slower song like Small Town. Sorry for mush. Ah Ah Ah.

TheEvolution · June 2006

Best show i've ever seen, everything was perfect. I mean Smile....come on now.

I_AM_KIRK · June 2006

I do toothy smile. Sorry if that not please you.

Fuckin great! Seemed like Ed was extra talkative tonite. I was sittin 7th row side stage, closest I've been since the mosh pit days, so my view was new and exciting. Highlight for me was dissident, havent heard that one live in a while. Overall great show!

Pearls&Stones · June 2006

Don't take this the wrong way, but I am being honest. It wasn't my all time favorite show, but it was damn good. They were really in top form, but I like to see the albums balanced slightly better. I don't think of 'Binaural' or 'Riot Act' as the bastard children of the family, so I would have liked something in that regard. Other than that, brilliant!!

And I have to say something to all of you. The crowd tonight

was off the F-in' chart!!! Of all the different shows of all the different bands I have seen, tonight's Mellon Arena crowd EASILY was the most enthusiastic I have ever witnessed. Good going all of you.

And good for Ed for throwing in a plug for my man Jason Bay. The Pirates may be the worst franchise in sports, but Bay is the man. Vote for Bay for the All Star Game

I am sitting here in our hotel on my laptop, husband fell asleep. I have to say, this was an incredible night, starting with the pre-show party and PJ just kicked ass. We were at the Cleveland show and the NJ 2, and I have to say, this was great. Thank you all, PJ and fellow fans for making it so great! I dont know how I am going to get any sleep tonight, I am just tingly all over...lol. Love & Peace, Rose

Get used to it, next tour the avacado will get little rotation.. and maybe yeild will come back in to fashion.

I don't travel to see PJ, but I try to see them every time they are in Pittsburgh, except last year which I had to miss. I must say that this show rivaled the 2000 show for me, and that was originally my favorite. 1998 was a close 2nd. I loved the beginning of Better Man when he let the crowd sing. That was great. I can't wait to get the bootleg to hear it. The crowd was definitely into it all night. I thought the set list made the show. I am an "old-time" PJ fan, and the more older stuff they play, the better the concert is to me. I heard almost everything I wanted to hear, except rearviewmirror, Given to Fly, and Baba O'Riley. Every time I see these guys in concert, it reminds me why they are my favorite band bar none.

in hiding and smile make the show. but the rest of the set list = typical.

camden#2, and nj#2 set lists blow pitts away.

igotid_8 · June 2006

Dissident, I Got Id are not "typical" either.

igotid_8 · June 2006

pearljamason · June 2006

Last nights show was indeed one of the best I've ever been to...........the only thing that could make it better would be if some kind soul could email a poor guy some pics from the show............I'd be forever in your debt.........lol PM me if you can email some pics to me.............thanks

Kaddikat · June 2006

Go, Why Go, Comatose, Smile, Rockin' In The Free World, Yellow Ledbetter

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhhhhhh!!!

Niche · June 2006

Kaddi you got it! For the band to put that string of songs together u mentioned turned out be be simply genius. The show blowed me away. The crowd was one of the best i saw noone sitting. The band seemed refreshed and ready. Cinci will have trouble beatin that one.

jackrabbit slim · June 2006

What an incredible show. This is why they are the best live band on the planet. what a great vibe, the crowd was insane!!
It was so great to hear release. they also played a lot of ten songs. I was so happy to finally hear man of the hour live and state of love and trust was just electric. eddie was fierce as was the whole band. an awesome,awesome show.
get that boot done now!!!

Smile = me smiling...BUT come on, forget the list, did you hear the way the songs sounded and how they we're jammed, and for god's sake, Garden...i still have chills...but i respect you're viewpoint...on paper, with some minor exceptions, it was typical...but WWS so late....excellent, excellent mix up to start off the new leg, not to mention DTE so early...almost pissed myself...haha...peace.

LyonsDenProductions · June 2006

show was awesome! crowd was awesome! i caught one of ed's picks! pearl jam is the best. easy. wish i could have brought everyone i know to this show... THANKS PJ!

ScaredAlive · June 2006

i am not trying to be negative at ALL let me get that out of the way from the start b4 someone bites my head off... how many does people does mellon hold?? i was a bit surprised at how many emptly seats there were... i mean i know Wachovia holds more and it was packed to the rafters in october 05... and same with philly spectrum 03 (just to compare inside arenas) as far as the people that were there i couldn't have been in better company, truly a great atmosphere and a kick ass time!!!! oh well just something that struck me as odd when i gazed around b4 they turned the lights off...

stranger34 · June 2006

Wow I went to NJ 1 and 2 and Camden 1 and I might have traded all 3 for that setlist. My 5 g=favorite songs of PJ are Blck, State, I got Shit, Release, and Smile. All 5 were played!!!!!! plus Waiting on a friend, inside job, I mean this set is unreal. I wasn't there but I might have to buy this boot anyway.

I have never gotten smile or I Got Shit or release.

Fuck man. Why Pittsburgh?

Neither is Garden or Man of the Hour.

So we've decided that, aside from Dissident, I Got Shit, Garden, In Hiding, Smile, Man of the Hour, and Waiting on a Friend, PJ just played a bunch of songs they've played before.

a5pj · June 2006

show was amazing!!!! defin in one of my top 5 shows... can you believe that i'm lucky enough to see this awesome band 13times and i start ranking shows, every show ROCKS!!!

One of the highlights for me was seeing Release as an opener, finally got it!
Comatose rocked out as usual, the whole place was going nuts the whole time at least from my standpoint!

The bit with eddie talking about the joints and ppl throwing lighters, and someone insulting him with a marblro red was hilarious!

To sum it up... AWESOME AMAZING SHOW - PJ NEVER DISSAPPOINTS!!!!

Eddie said last night that Pittsburgh isn't one of their favorite places in the world, but I think he then said it's their 3rd favorite to play... It's cause of the crowd. Always friendly, very involved, and always really into it. Good times.

gmrjr · June 2006

My wife and I like everyone else were completely BLOWN AWAY by the show. We have seen them 6 and 7 times respectively, and this one truly took the cake!! Not just the song choices....State, In Hiding, Release, yada yada yada......the list goes on, but the treat we recieved afterwards MADE OUR LIVES. As we left the show we thought "nothing can top that," then my wife had an idea that will forever be the best idea ever.... Let's see if we can see them.

Long story short...Thank you Eddie for not only stopping, but getting out of your van to shake hands with me and hug my wife!!!! There were about 6 others there who shared in this event....WOW F'N WOW.....We still can't believe it was real!!!

WE CAN DIE NOW!!!!!

Can't remember exact tour dates.....was having too much fun!!!
Pittsburg 5 times
Virginia Beach
Merriweather Post Pavillion

hippiemom · June 2006

AMAZING!!!

Just got home to Cleveland, we talked about the show almost the whole way home. This was my daughter's 7th show and my 18th, and we were both blown away. Thank you Pittsburgh for being one of the best crowds we've ever been a part of

We were in the 2nd row and the band was all smiles all night, I don't think I've ever seen them look so happy ... the look on Ed's face during RITFW when they turned on the lights and every single person in the place was on their feet and clapping ... priceless!

That was it for me for this tour, and what a way to finish it off. I'm kinda surprised no one has mentioned Porch yet .... that was the best Porch I've ever seen, the jam was incredible. Lots of funny moments ... people throwing the joints and lighters at Ed was good, also when Ed was running towards the back of the stage and tripped over Stone's guitar and unplugged it, heehee

Throw Your Arms Around Me preset ... shit, there's so much I can't even remember.

Thanks Pittsburgh, and thank you Pearl Jam for a great night!

That's what bug me... looking at the setlist doesn't do the show justice. EVERYTHING was played with emotion and the crowd was right there. I said in an earlier post that Black actually put a tear in my eye and it's not even in my top 20 PJ songs! It was anything but a typical. If your only complaint about the show is that they didn't play enough rarities then maybe you're going to shows for the wrong reasons...

Pittsburgh = Awesome!!!
