This was an absolutely incredible experience, and I have to say it was my favorite Pearl Jam show of the 10 I've seen!
The fans were amazing. The seats (sect. 201, row 3) were amazing. The setlist (NAIS, Evacuation, Push Me Pull Me, Garden, DOWN WITH MIKE NESS, Speed of Sound) was amazing.
I've been raving about this show ALL DAY, and I don't know if I'll be able to sleep tonight before tomorrow's big show.
I'll post more of a review on Saturday when things are a little more laid back!00: Va Beach, 03: Bristow, 04: Reading, 05: Atlantic City 2x

This was a roller coaster of a show. I certainly enjoyed seeing Social Distortion for the first time, especially when Ed and Mike came out for Ball and Chain. Pearl Jam's set started out good, but then there were a couple pretty bad versions of WWS and I Am Mine. Then there was Johnny Guitar and NAIS, two songs that my wife and I aren't really into respectively. A great version of Gone then our least favorite PJ original Evacuation. Even Flow was pretty short but good then Ed totally fucks up Come Back and it is scrapped.
Things finally get going with a good version of No Way, a song I hadn't heard live in 11 years. Down with Mike Ness was great and the rest of the first set finishes nicely. I was happy that Just Breathe was repeated since I missed Tuesday. A good first try at Speed of Sound even if Ed did repeat a verse, and hearing Push Me Pull Me live was something awesome I never imagined I'd get to hear. Enjoyed hearing the original Garden (though I do enjoy the reworked version), and Blood was a nice way to finish the set.
Could have done without Last Kiss and Better Man, but at least they are out of the way and don't need to be played Friday or Saturday. In the end, the show had a good finish with Porch and Yellow Ledbeter.
The World Series situation gave the show an interesting atmosphere, but was quite annoying at times. People were congregating in the hall watching the game making it dificult to get to the restrooms or concessions. I was the guy yelling, "Hey! I hear there's a concert going on down at the Spectrum, you guys should check it out!!" as I pushed my way through the assholes blocking the hall from wall to wall.0 -
A great show, wishlist, given to fly and better man were just some of the highlights.
Social D perfect opening act..0 -
This was my first PJ concert and wow it was amazing. I wanted to hear I Am Mine, Given to Fly, No Way, and Yellow Ledbetter and they played all them. Awesome. I'm going back Friday and Saturday. I can't wait these 2 are gonna be awesome as well.I know I was born and I know that I'll die

Just a heads up to the interpretive/ drunk dancing guy in front of me in section 202 row 3... Maybe you shlouldn't flail your arms as much next show like your having a seizure on every song? You kept hitting me and knocked your seat into me several times. If it wasn't for your hot girlfriend talking to us for a second, the whole row behind you was going to roll on you. Not kidding. I enjoy the shows and songs as much as anybody but you were a little too over the top.
Well thank god she was hot0 -

I can sense you're being facetious. What did you expect me to do when the hallways are filled with people unwilling to be courteous and leave a path for others to walk by? Would you prefer I piss out in the hallway? (Of course I wouldn't do that, as I preferred not to be kicked out of the venue.) I tried to be polite and say excuse me, but that plea fell on many ears deaf to anything but baseball. My wife got many sneers from women when she tried to get through the mob. I was relieved when they switched the monitors in the hall from the game to something else as it meant I'd actually be able to get back to my seat.0 -

House lights went down around 9:00 for the Spectrum video montage. I would play it safe and be in by 8:40 for the next two shows though.If there were no Angels would there be no sin?0 -

First let me start off by saying WOW great show. Night 2 seamed a little shorter than night 1 but i did think the set list was a little better. BUT I do have a little complaint. ( Dont get me wrong I am not bitching and I am very gratefull for my 10c seats). I have been in the Ten club for a while and this is the first time i have ever been lucky enough to get tickets. With a # of 184xxx i assumed i would prob land some pretty good tix. So around lunch time the day of the show i checked comcasttix to see if there were any tix for sale just out of curiosity and there were some great seats row 3 next to the stage. I passed on them hoping my 10c seats would be close . Unfortunatly my 10c seats were towards the back of the lower level row 12, in the middle of the row. The seats were still good but I have some friends with 10c numbers in the 300xxx and 400xxx that were closer than me. Does anyone know if the seats are just random and the lower your number doesnt matter , or was it just bad luck on my behalf. Either way it was an unbelievable show and I cant wait for the 31st .0

What an amazing night Wednesday was! The energy at the Spectrum was unreal - felt so good to be back there again. I wish they weren't tearing it down! Hopefully soon they will return to the Wachovia. I loved hearing Garden, Blood and Nothing as It Seems. Mike is incredible
The pre-party at McFadden's was awesome too - met lots of nice people. I met a nice guy named Steven that gave me a raffle item. It was nice meeting you.0 -
I have been wasting my days at work reading this message board as I prepare for friday and saturday...i am so pumped, but torn...as a DIE HARD phils fan sat is a dilemma, though i will be in my 10c seats enjoying the last show at the building i grew up in, listening to my favorite band--i will still be wearing my red and chanting yankees suck...the lot is going to be insane sat, if you don't have tix, come for the party at the very least--but get there early!0
