    All I have to say is that if they play till 2 AM on Saturday, it will be epic test of endurance. Last night was around 2 hours 20 minutes and it seemed way longer. I of course don't mean that as a bad thing, it's just that Pearl Jam definitely gave me my money's worth. When I looked at my phone after the show I couldn't believe how early it was and they are going to play another 2 and 1/2 hours on Saturday? I so wish I could go.

    But again, last night was awesome. There aren't many bands now that can put on a show like that in an arena. I just wish I already had the sound board.

    Wow, what an amazing show. I've been to some 20 pearl jam shows and this was probably the most eclectic set list I've had.

    Seats were decent, Section 226 Row 7 on Mike's side. I've only seen on other PJ show in the spectrum and my seats were 103 in the back (like 15 I think) There's never a bad seat when you're seeing PJ

    Took a bunch of friends from college and my brother, 3 of them were PJ virgins, there were updating facebook during the breaks about how AMAZING this show was.

    One buddy wanted to hear lukin, he got it accoustic with the strings, wow.
    Another just wanted to hear YLB, he got that was well.

    I was happy to hear speed of sound for the first time EVER, Garden was great, also I love Given to Fly live, one of my favs.

    All in all, was a great show, even before the show in the parking lot was awesome, jamming out to Pearl Jam grilling some burgers and dogs and drinking beer with the oh so friendly jamily.

    I now have no voice and I can't hear. I'm coming back for Friday and Saturday(non FC seats.) I have no idea how I'm going to recover between them...

    Best moment was ed saying to the strings, "see if you can keep up with this fuckers!" before Lukin.
    "You think I got my eyes closed but I'm starring at you the whole fuckin' time." E.V.

    Last nights show was OK. Not even close to as good as night 1 though. There were a lot of great songs, but also a bunch of songs I could do without. But thats ok because they got most of the bad ones out of the way.

    I could do without All Night, WWS, I am Mine, NAIS, Evacuation, Down, Wishlist, and Speed of Sound

    Best songs of the night were Garden and the Real Me.

    Only 2 repeats! Thats what makes this band so fucking awesome!!

    It was great seeing the score updates on the Phils/Yanks. People need to relax on the Lets go Phillies and Yankees suck chants. I'm a huge Phils fan, but there's no need to chant every time you get a chance.

    Nights 3 and 4 are gonna be insane!!!
    no pearl jam gig is just ok... :D

    This was my 27th show, and probably the weakest of all them. So it was just ok for me.

    Damn nice footage here. It's amazing how good technology has gotten. I expected shitty picture quality and sound and this was neither.

    Thers no "Push Me Pull Me" here, the man in front row is drinking beer!!!!! It should be Push Me Pull Me at a PJ gig, not a lazy audience as this. WTF, americans cant you rock?[/quote]




    From someone who was lucky enough to get there once, it's kind of too mesmerizing and overwhelming up front to do much rocking out.

    I made a seperate post about this but, a cop in the spectrum parking lot told us the 2am curfew is confirmed and Bruce Springsteen is set to show up.

    It would be great if the boss came out, but sadly his cousin just passed away. I would not count on him being there

    Last night's show was amazing! Finally hearing NO WAY live was a highlight!

    My only disappointment was that they did not finish Come Back. Ed said they would finish the song later on but never went back to it. I hope they play Come Back either Friday or Saturday.

    The strings on Just Breathe and Lukin was awesome! The crowd was great and the band was on fire. I can't wait for the next two shows!

    Thanks Ten Club!

    Also, the debut of Speed of Sound was awesome! I'm glad that I was one of the first to hear the band play this one live!

    I was there for night 1 & 2 and feel night 2 was far superior in both audience participation/excitment AND music selection. While i loved night 1, it seemed that the lull of several slower songs brought down the energy that opened the show. That energy returned later in the night, but that lull seemed to slow the show down.

    Im also going to the Saturday show and I'm kind of sad I couldnt afford Friday tickets... I'm afraid of what I might miss in this "we're going to try to play all of the songs we know" thing... thank goodness for the bootlegs

    What an amazing show! Loved the Phillies score updates by the Vegas showgirl :) To those guys with the "Mike is God" t-shirts... I couldn't agree more!

    This is my third show on this tour, and it is by far the best. Saw them in Seattle (1) and LA (4). The set list was AMAZING, wow.

    I keep telling people, that I'm no longer going to waste money seeing them on the West Coast because the East Coast shows are so much better. Seriously.

    I was 4th row, center and everyone I met was totally rocking out. So unlike the other cities.

    Social D rocked the fucking house too... caught their drumsticks and got their set list. Seeing Eddie and Mike come out for Ball and Chain made my night.

    You were like a highlight of the Social D set!! You were a mad man!!! Glad to see someone get such enjoyment and get the prize sticks at the end :thumbup:

    These are not concerts, they are Pearl Jam Adventures!!! What can you say about the show, old songs(Push Me-Pull Me), first time songs (Speed of Sound), and Even Flow with super high energy. The place was rocking with the Phillies winning game 1, the band kept the place updated in a great way. AMAZING!
    Same can be said for the Wishlist Foundation preparty-fundraiser. Dave & Mike are doing an AWESOME job.

    GARDEN!!!!

    Amazing . . . . ugh I wish you could just buy select songs from these shows . . . . it's getting expensive as I am buying all these boots specifically for ONE song :-) I bought Vancouver strictly for No Way, three of the LA shows strictly for Tremor Christ, Hunger Strike and Crown Of Thorns . . . now do I buy this show for Garden? Perhaps . . .
