Overall, a great show- haven't said much that hasn't been said already. Great crowd, utterly KO'd Seattle.
Spent the morning trekking up Grouse Mountain, lost a bit of time staying up on the mountain due to a bit of confusion with the rest of the touring van crew, but that's ok. Thought all that climbing might take away from my energy level during the show, but that was never gonna be an issue once adrenaline hit.
Said hi to the fellas at the pre-party, picked up the tickets, met more people, and it's off to the show after a solid feed at Dix.
When I walked in with 12th row tickets and saw that it was the front row of the 2nd block of seats on the floor, Stone side, I was overjoyed. Finally, some space to move around in. Not that the seats in the Seattle shows kept me (and Steph) from rocking out, but just looking at all that empty space in passage way made me salivate.
Went through my pre-show ritual of spotting and running up to all these new and old friends on the floor- haven't done this since Australia 06- being stuck in the 2nd row in Europe doesn't really allow for this. Had more than a few photo ops with some nice locals, too. Love it- back in Australia the security might tell me to shoo, but the nice people of Vancouver seemed to have no problems with me climbing over row after row to catch up with the mates.
Time passes, and it's closer to starting time. I know I'm rough. It makes sense to step a bit forward from the seat so I don't pogo on the neigbouring girl's sandals (sandals?!). So I did. And rock we did, with Stian, the best hard rocking ticket buddy I've ever had.
So it was a bit of a downer when one security guy (just one in particular, the others had no problems whatsoever) kept coming around to harass me to stay behind that silly little line. It's not like I didn't keep an eye around to make way for people coming down the passage way. And it's not like I didn't want to go back to my space- people from other spots had made their way to take over a coupla seats in the row, more or less making me step out front (more than happy to comply).
So I was given my last warning, told that once more over the line and I'm outta there. Oh please, there's at least 20 others smoking weed in my immediate vicinity without any hassle, and I'm being targeted for being exuberant? If I'm to be targeted for getting high on the music, what about this other lot?
So that wasn't so cool. Good thing that was after the main set. Tell ya what, it's bloody hard trying to hold it in for the Breath-SOLAT double hit.
That one security guy aside (like I said, the others were all fine), the one thing Vancouver needs to pick up its act on is the post-show action. Friday night and the drinking dens still close at midnight, 1am? Boo to that. Just as well the others needed to prepare for the Clark country trip while the remaining few were all pretty spent and weren't up for another all-nighter.
Can't wait till Philly. 4 shows and no inter-city travel required, meaning bender after bender. Brilliant.
115 bucks for half a haircut by a novice? I want my money back!
The Terry Fox recognition/dedication was awesome. Ty for that.
And to hell with Seattle, they have had it too good for too long. I have a small apartment, but I am sure I can fit you all in here. Vancouver would love to have you. And for the love of god, please come back soon, there seemed to be a little gap since the last time you all were here.
Highlight of the night... Elderly Woman... everybody singing at the top of their lungs in unison. I look to the people to my left, and they are just nodding their heads. Guess they didn't know the words. But then again, what do you expect from someone who wears a shawl to a Pearl Jam concert.
You guys rock, please don't stop.
p.s. Ty for playing Yellow Ledbetter. It was the cherry on the top.
Too important to me and too important to us...
We'd be lost without you!
Almost reason enough to buy the boot right there . . . .

The words are slowly starting to come to me... but I only have a few...
This crowd was unfuckingbelievable... there wasn't even alot of Ten Club members there... this crowd just likes rock and roll. I've never seen people with such shitty seats (at the top and behind the stage) rock out so hard. The set list was amazing.. and the band was so energetic and into every song.
Love, Reign O'er Me was, and i'm not joking, as good as the version at the Rock Honors in LA. That is what sealed the deal for me. Ed was just wailing and the look in his eyes was possessed.
I hope more than anything that some kind of videos pop up from this show. I can't wait to re-live it!
To get this thread back on track, it's great to see the crowd interaction. I loved how Eddie gave the wine out and also grabbed that Who cloth from the 10C'ers on here. My fave was when he picked out the youngster with the headphones and had the crowd pass her a pick. She had a permasmile on leaving the concert with her mom and will be a fan for life.
It's true! I'll be a fan forever! PJ will forever rock! Molly, headphone girl, age 9
Hey. I'm Molly, a.k.a Headphone Girl.I was the kid who got the pick from Eddie. I was fifth row standing on my seat. Earlier my Mom had said to me "If at any time Eddie is looking at you and you feel like it, wave.' Fine, like there's any chance of him seeing me. Near the start, I thought he was looking at me, so I waved. Sure enough, his beautiful blue eyes went all crazy and wild, and he waved! People all around me started to say stuff like,"He looked right at you!' and things like that. All I could say in response was' I know! Isn't that awesome!?! This was my third Pearl Jam show, and it rocked! I thought that moment with Eddie was special, but I had no idea what was coming to me! At the end of the Show, when they were playing their closing song, Eddie started to throw picks into the crowed, that's when I started to get exited. Suddenly, he was looking at me doing the headphone motion. I pointed at myself, not belving my eyes. He nodded, smiled, and got the crowed to pass it back to me. Suddenly I was famous. I got my picture taken about eight times.I couldn't belive it! I pinched myself about ten times to make sure I wasn't dreaming. I wasn't .I'll that night as long as I live! Molly, 9.
This was the best show ever, I had good seats......I can't get over how good the show was. Ed and the band rocked! There was just a feeling, an energy there, I can't explain it and I still can't believe the feeling. I wanted to cry, scream, and smile so big all at once. It's like you stepped off a roller coaster and you now you wanna get back on again.
It isn't my video as I was front row, but as I was watching youtube video's to re-live our experience I found this.
BREATH live in Vancouver, great quality.....If you look closely you may see me bouncing away in front of Eddie.
Set List: In My Tree, Save You, The Fixer, Severed Hand, Johnny Guitar, Given To Fly, MFC, Even Flow, Amongst The Waves, Sad, Unthought Known, Light Years, Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town, Grievance, No Way, Got Some, Rearviewmirror

There's a light,... when my baby's in my arms...

Hey there, Molly's mom here. I haven't had time to collect my thoughts to paper yet, but will. Needless to say, a very special show for me. This video will be a keep sake!
Well will finally give my review of the best concert I have ever attended in my life. I will try ot be brief avoid rambling paragraphs on the sbuject:
High-Lights:
- Flying into Vancouver just hours before the show and getting my FRIST ROW SEATS 17-19 10C Tickets!!! Thanks 10C made my year and will never for get being able to watch the show with no one in front of me or pushing to be next to me looking right at EV. AMAZING!
- Pre-party was excellant and got to meet some amazing people to share stores with. Once again big thumbs up to restlesssoul for the pre-party, amazing time.
- Ben Harper was great, first time for me seeing him live. One thing I did notice is the amount of seats that were filled for Ben Harper, never seen so many seats filled for the opener. Great job Vancouver was nice to see people fill the seats for Ben. At that moment I believed it was a great show as Ed enjoys good support for the opener.
- In My Tree to open was totally off guard and I would have never guessed it. When Ed came out and looked around the stadium in complete awe (as did I) once again gave me the feeling of something special. The crowd was rocking right from the start.
- Shout out to the tall dude beside me all night who passed me the bottle of wine during Alive. i apolgoize for being crazy the entire show, trust me my body still hurts from the jumping into the steel and head banging all night! Also great guy from NYC over to the righ of me, awesome people all around us.
- Before more song talk lets talk about the crowd. I have never ever seen a crowd like this before. It has been mentioned but I need to re-iterate the point people were rocking the fuck out. It was ballastic at some points, people up high rocking out, peopel behind the stage going bonkers, us in the front row jumping around like lunatics. FUCKING GRADE A crowd!!! Everyone was standing and rocking out, was something beyond special. Sorry to those who adamantly believe the songs on the set-list make a concert great, but actually the crowd energy propells a concert to greatness. I would rather have a show with all mainstream songs (which this concert had a great mix of old/new/rare/play every night tunes, just the perfect balance for all type of fan) and crowd like we experience over a bunch of rarities with no crowd energy.
- Save You has never been my favourite song BUT wow I appreciate that tune after the show, every show I have attended has had Save You played and Ed always trys to get the crowd clapping usually to a pitiful effort from the crowd. Not tonight everyone was clapping, was off the hook.
- All the new tunes sound great, The Fixer got the crowd into a frenzy.
- Light Years was amazing great tune that I had been dying to hear. The Terry Fox tribute was total class act by PJ (thumbs up to that).
- Grievance kicked my ass and provided me sypmtoms of whip-lash continuing as I type.
- No Way was fucking brilliantly done, with a kick-ass jam at the end.
- RVM was amazing as always, seen a video up on YouTube and watching me head-bang from the front row I cannot believe I am not in worse pain.
- First encore seemed too perfect. I GOT SHIT! my favourite all time tune follwed by LROM (which I have never witnessed such a powerful singing performance of a single tune before this). When Breath was busted out, us in the first row became unglued and I was fighting off tears. Was not expecting this song that tribute's a great crowd at all so it blind-sided me and to be in the front row for this put me over the top. I literally collapsed when it first started playing. SOLAT after was just too much. Alive was epic with the crowd, just epic the YouTube videos are amazing of this. ONCE AGAIN OFF THE CHART ENCORE
- Last Kiss was played to great fanfare to the people in the back. Not a huge fan of the song but it received a great reception and that is what matters.
- Once again did I mention the crowd, like fucking seriously that was outrageous the energy in that building. Not once did I see someone looking bored, fucking amazing. I cannot say fuck or amazing enough to describe the crowd.
Low-Lights:
- My body hurts everywhere still.
- First row may be the only time but once in a lifetime is better than never.
- Seeing some comments about the Seattle crowd thing, who cares I have been to a concert that got dissed a few shows later (Edmonton dissed in Winnipeg), guess what that Edmonton show deserved it. I am not trying to start a pissing match but to top that crowd in Vancouver will take a mighty effort, so I hope later shows meet or can raise the bar.
Oh another thing....Stone "I am Rocking the Fuck Out" Gossard. I know from the Calgary V-Fest show that he is picking up the energy...BUT WOW in Vancouve he was off the hook head banging as much as I was and played an enourmous amout of time beside Mike/Jeff.
My best friend and I were talkin about Stone all night, fuck me was he ever rocking out!
everywhere i looked in the crowd last night, people were going nuts. behind the stage, in the uppers, lowers. dudes with no shirts dancing their guts out in the nosebleeds, other dudes singing every word arm in arm, putting eachother in headlocks, high fiving. chicks dancing, swaying with arms around one another. TONS of lighters for appropriate songs, beach ball being pass throughout the floor. as Ed said " it's friday night, and its on!!" there was just a magic in that place last night. everywhere you looked you could see it in peoples faces, and we fed off eachother, and got louder, the band in turn, fed of us, in turn taking us to higher heights. seriously. it sounds cheesy, but it was a circle of energy happening last night that was undeniable. we knew , the band new it. it was special.
sorry guys, just still reeling from last night...trying to convey what happened in there. it was the best ever.
And to think I read a thread about someone complaing about this type of behaviour in Seattle the other day!!!! Wow I am glad I was at the show that included this behaviour because this was me all night and everyone else around me.
Could not have explained the crowd energy better myself!
I cannot get into a work mood because I feel like I am still at GM Place!
Really amazing show. Got to see this with my friend Chris who I met bc of Pearl Jam, ten years ago.
Was a little -- ehh- when Ed dissed the Seattle crowd-- HELLO, there were MANY Seattle fans who drove up to Vancouver too! Whatever!!!
I won the lottery and got 2nd row Mike's side, twas truly a treat and caught a pick mid-air too.
Thanks for playing Vancouver, was worth the full search on leaving your country. I had a good reason to visit my friends up North and got a killer high energy show! Reminded me of the energy when I saw them in Vancouver in 2005.
My friend Loretta would have been proud-- she passed away a few years ago and would have been at this show with me otherwise.
Best concert ever! I was one of those crazy people going bonkers behind the stage upper bowl. I must say I thought my seats would be pretty crappy but they were pretty fantastic. I felt super close to the stage and the band really knows how to work the whole room. I brought my boyfriend who isn't the biggest Pearl Jam fan in the world, but now he is sold on them and their live show and can't wait to see them again. Yay! I've been a fan since my early high school days and have been lucky to have seen them many a time over the years and even though I haven't been as fanatically into them these last few years as I was in 1993, I am always blown away by their live shows and keep coming back for more. This concert was so amazing I can't stop thinking about it and it was so good I joined the fan club yesterday. Yeah I did.
Amazing show! Row 3 on Stone's side. Thanks as always 10C. Love the new music. "The Fixer" and "Unthought Known" sound so great live and are so much fun to dance to. Would have loved to have heard the beautiful "Just Breathe" but I can't complain as we got it night one in Seattle (the crowd where I stood was great by the way.....it's interesting how differently people can experience the same thing Can't wait for show # 20, wherever and whenever that might be.....
Ahhhhhh...
What a fucking PRIVILEGE to be FRONT ROW at my hometown show and get a set list like that.
Oh and to be rocking out beside restlesssoul as well.
Of the four shows I went to this tour (seattle vancouver portland) this show was untouchable.

Comments
I miss the touring crew already.
Cheers to all who came up to say hi to this weird idiot with a wig from Australia/London.
See yis in Philly.
Spent the morning trekking up Grouse Mountain, lost a bit of time staying up on the mountain due to a bit of confusion with the rest of the touring van crew, but that's ok. Thought all that climbing might take away from my energy level during the show, but that was never gonna be an issue once adrenaline hit.

Can't wait till Philly. 4 shows and no inter-city travel required, meaning bender after bender. Brilliant.
Oh and for all the people wondering, here's a video of Eddie "dissing" Seattle.

Though I did pass the flag on to my friend Tanya a few rows up during the show.
The Terry Fox recognition/dedication was awesome. Ty for that.

And I know she's reached my heart,... in thin air
Will never know, but pretty sure the little nod and smile at :30 was to me, after Ed caught me also singing along to the melody line.
Or it was just gas. But I'm pretty sure!
Thanks for posting! I too was in the front row. I am sure Ed thought I was a gong show! Best concert moment of my life!!!
