    sounds like that piano intro into the bridge has been replaced with a guitar when it's live.

    thank god.

    I've never been convinced that is a piano. I think it is has always been a guitar effect.

    I love it! The studio version is good but live is amazing!

    Anyway, I love it, open a gap, grab his clothes, and slam his head into the ground as best you can. That's the best remedy.
    wow, and the crowd surfers are the douches, huh? sounds like you're doing your best to top them in that dept.

    Hey no problem with the pit here but making the case there were tonnes of d-bags, however, I left because my g/f wanted to leave I would stayed and pushed close if need be. But where we ended up (edge of the pit) was good enough as I could see better and could pay more attention.

    Judging from the band I almost want to say they enjoyed the mayhem, something a little different I guess. Maybe not having the "hard-cores" all standing up front leaving for a piss break during Even Flow and playing to a different audience (that regardless of a lot of the mosh crowd being d-bags they really gave energy to every single song like a hard-core fan), will give them credit to that.

    Just had a feeling looking at the guys looking back to crowd full of smiles and giving point outs I think the energy of the pit brought them to life. Band look way more lively than when I seen them four times in 2005.

    But I agree if it is GA be prepared for the craziness.

    No worries RiC, I wasn’t referring to your post…I understand what you’re saying, and ya…people that crowd surf just for fun piss me off….it should be a last-resort way out of the pit only. Doing it towards the back is even stupider – people aren’t prepared for it…my neck was fucked for months after taking the full weight of a surfer square on my head at a Beasties show in the 90’s. If you were with your girl and she wasn’t into it, you were wise to move back. I was with a friend that wasn’t a huge fan, and I was going out after the show, so I didn’t want to be soaked in sweat….but I’d probably have gone up otherwise. I’m just commenting on the number of people slagging GA shows in general, and calling other fans dbags because of how they look or simply b/c they’re IN a pit…PJ fans come from all walks, and I know a lot of die hard fans that were up front.

    I've been to 3 GA shows for PJ. Sunfest 93, Lolla 07, and this Virgin fest 09. And this years had by far the most douche bags. It was non-stop idiots crowd surfing. They think they are more "cool" if they crowd surf at a concert. There was this one super fat fuck that was crowd surfing all night(injuring and annoying many), so I made sure he got a solid elbow in the head when I had a chance. :D If I have to take a chance in getting injured by their boots and shit. Well then they have to take a chance in getting injured by my elbows or fists.

    Lolla had 5 times as many people, but was 5 times less annoying. And although Sunfest was crazy, It just seemed like it was more about crazy love for the music, not trying to look cool.

    -Back to the subject of the thread, The fixer was nothing special live. Just a decent song. But Got Some on the other hand was incredible live. Having them played back to back really proved how much better of a song got some is. There really was no comparison. I really hope Got some is played at all the other shows I attend this year. I could take or leave The Fixer.

    I'm looking forward to getting back to normal shows. And with the added shows today i'll be over 25 in no time. Soooooooooo excited!

    i had plenty of laughs at the Lolla crowd surfing, there was an open space in front of me and everyone got pushed there, i aided plenty of people in achieving a dentist bill.

    Thanks for the video post! I thought it sounded pretty good and look forward to hearing it live myself.

    My only problem with the crowd in the video was how many people weren't even paying attention to the band. Other than that, they looked like they were having fun and isn't that really what it's all about?

    there was no crowd surfing going on at Bonnaroo. but they shuffled people out of the front after every band, so maybe that kept people from going too nuts. everybody seemed pretty cool to me.

    I thought they played awesome.

    On another note... NOTHING can be worse than NIN/Perfect Circle crowd. I was in the 3rd row GA and Im a girl close to dwarf-size. HORRIBLE! This crowd wasnt bad but looked pretty annoying. White shades guy should be banished from all Pearl Jam concerts.

    Yep, having fun is what it's all about. But to pay money to go to a show, wouldn't you be looking / focusing your eye's & ears at the band @ work on the front stage? Where the music is coming from? The majority of the people there in that video are looking at their sides & back, turning around, moving left and right, 'raising their hands like they just don't care' like it was a rap concert or something with lots of pushing & shoving.

    That video is a great example of why PJ shows should not be GA... those douchebags need to be confined to their seats.


    agreed. :(

    I love Canada. I love being Canadian. But Canadian concert goers are often douches. Either too obnoxious or too quiet.

    (Although, Buffalo fans are f'in annoying too.)

    ed said he loved the buffalo crowd saying something like "who knew buffalo could be so beautiful"

    and most canadians live so close to the boarder for a reason...

    Song was as lifeless live as it was on the studio version. No jam, just a canned pop song. They will be bored with this song before Philly is done.

    The crowd in Halifax when we got to see A Perfect Circle was pretty sweet! Not this kind of behavior.
    I miss APC with a passion. :cry:

    sounds good, can't wait for the boots. As for the piano, it doesn't sound like piano to me on the single. Unless someone has soon credits that lists someone playing piano on that track.....

    This is the definition of "wrong".

    the tuning-down took a little life out of it i think.. but then again, this was the first time playing it, and the first show of the tour.. a couple months from now, when the band has hit their stride, it could be a lot better.
    i'm more a fan of popular bands.. like the bee-gees, pearl jam

    Let me give the final verdict on this crowd.

    I was front/centre against the rail. An hour before PJ was set to come on, everyone started filtering out of the beer gardens and VIP, which were positioned perfectly so that the emerging drunks would surge and push the crowd forward towards the stage. Luckily I was on Mike's side of the security space in front, so I was protected for the most part from the initial squeeze. But looking over the security pit (about five feet) I could see guys and girls who literally couldn't breathe because they were so squished. One girl wanted out but the security guys could've pull her because she was jammed b/n people.

    Once the show started it was a bit easier for people to climb out because of the movement of the crowd, and most people that came out could barely walk on their own. For the most part I was clear from all the D-bags because I was at the front and with mostly hardcore Pearl Jam fans, but the douches weren't far behind me, and a lot of them floated over my head.

    The crowd in the 'pit', overall, was ridiculous. The guys in the video aren't even paying attention to the band. I fully understand I chose to go to a GA show, but I'd rather not have to worry about defending my life while I'm standing in front of Ed. And the reason you only really see guys is because every girl I saw was fighting for her life to get the hell out of there.

    Kudos to the band, though, for feeding off the energy but doing their best to keep everyone alive. The show was awesome.
