hey there - thanks for the calling out those 2 C U Next Tuesdays last night. that was my daughter. i am not sure which guy you are but i have to say that all of the guys around us were super cool to my 13 year old (she is a bit small for her age). what bothered me the most and prompted me to go to security (something i have never done in all my years of concert attendance) was the smart ass response when i asked them to stop. in fact, they shot me a smirk and chuckled at me in essence laughing at me and my kid, had no show of remorse at all and thought the whole thing was funny. it took all the control i have to have not jumped back a row and... whatever - i was not going to get myself arrested!

i have been to well over 25 pj shows and have always been amazed by the community aspect of the 10c section down front. my member number of 66xxx has afforded me not only the best concert experiences in my over 40 years on earth but has also led to some great friendships that have started and continued thanks to pj. the guy sitting next to me was at the show in may 2003 - the first show i took my daughter to. we were dead center in the third row - eddie tossed his tambourine to her and he remembered us from that show - now that's community.

In the days before chicago's smoking ban, this would have been a different thing. i would still have taken my daughter to the show but she would have known that smoke was part of the experience and maybe would have passed - maybe not.

the security guys were totally cool - off duty chicago cops. it took daughter and brother for us to take care of the situation and i gotta tell ya... it felt damn good to see those 2 assholes escorted out of the show.

bottom line - no one fucks with my kid and gets away with it... a true shout out to you and the others and again my sincere thanks. see you at the next show.

Sorry to hear that some punks almost ruined your night. There no place for these kind of people at a Pearl Jam concert, or anywhere else.. Cool for the security. Hope you still enjoyed the show!.

You kept your composure real well, I was two rows behind you. You were very polite, and did not get pissy with them at all. Their response blow a big ass cloud of it right at her....unreal. T I had your back, :-) they pissed me off with that BS. I have sat next to, behind, pot smokers, I don't dig it, and if I ever asked any of them to stop they were totally cool and apologetic. At least blow it up for crying out loud, they went out of their way to frag you. I hope she had a good time, I was keeping my fingers crossed she'd at least get a pick.

to each their own, just don't be pricks about it

Unbelievable. Yeah, I don't care if you smoke up at the shows either, just don't antogonize people with it. Two jerks in Dallas in 2000 would lean forward ove the back of my seat and intentionally blow it on the back of my neck and laugh. I never call security over pot and never have since but I did that day. I wasn't in 10C seats though so neither were they.

Anyway, glad you had the situation resolved and had a great show because night 2 was incredible.

A few people have mentioned this, but that's not what I remember him saying. Maybe I just misheard it, but I thought he was saying that it was a better crowd than Sunday's. That it was more like a weekend crowd, or is being like a weekend crowd a bad thing? :?

He said something like "You are more of a Sunday crowd than Sunday's crowd" or something like that and then "We'll do our best to make it a Saturday night crowd". Something along those lines.

He definitely was giving crowd 2 shit at the start. Because I agree that crowd 1 was more crazy. Lots of reasons for that. More fan club, more time to party beforehand, and my excuse for night 2, still hungover from night 1. But we all got going.

I think he than introduced Nothingman by saying, "Here's a Sunday night one for ya."

Overall, both nights were incredible. Slight edge to night 1 for the crowd. Set lists are so personal.

Thanks 10Club for seats. Both were great. #140,xxx. Right side of stage, 12th row, night 1. 19th row Sec. 3 for night 2.

As for the pot smokers, they must have been rookies. I like to hold it in mon.

Anyone else see Jen Patterson at the show? She also showed a vid on Monsters this morning of Eddie playing catch with Ryan Dempster of the Cubs on the field before the Cubs game yesterday. Super hip Mike North (sic) said it looked like Dempster was playing catch with a homeless guy. Jen said "Shame on you Mike."

I guess that means you liked it. I am uploading Needle and the Damage Done/Rats right now. 2 hours to go. I got 16 videos from the 2 nights in total. I filled up 12 GB of memory.

Hahaha! I felt exactly the same way. Sunday and Monday were like one giant Christmas present in August.
I forgot to mention a few things...when they opened with Hard To Imagine I almost peed my pants...it's one of my favorite PJ songs and I had never heard it live. I was surprised that they didn't open either night with Release, but I didn't care!
It was also awesome to see Bad Religion live!
Seriously, they should make a DVD of these two epic shows. I agree with whoever said it was two volumes of one giant concert...just with a 24 hour break in between!

WOW, these two nights should devinately have been shot for a DVD release. Don't have much more that what's been said. I knew it was going to be an epic experience, but DAMN!
