Thank you for you wonderful insight on this subject. Could you please expand on the rules of enjoyment for a Pearl Jam show? Should I pogo during Just Breathe? Should I spin around in circles during Lukin? Do the "Carlton" during Alive? Do the Robot during You Are? (Oops Ed already does that!)

This argument is old! Get over it! If the BAND is so bored with who is upfront why do they insist on the seniority then? When you figure that one out please fill us in....

BTW - My 318xxx number gets me decent seats and I enjoy them every show, no matter how the audience acts.

You should ALWAYS do the Carlton during Alive. And take video.

I understand that you all paid your dues to Pearl Jam/10c over the years but come on we need some new blood up in the front, and I just dont mean the lottery sections. PJ is a band that feeds off energy for their shows and sorry but someone that has seen many shows up front just doesnt put out the energy that someone would being up there for the first time.

On a Skittles/Kit Kat/Milky Way sugar rage from Saturday's Trick or Treating, I see.
You know... your hatred and negative expressions places a chrome plated, double reversed, voo-doo, jihad, hex/spell fatwa on your chances of winning the Ten/VHC seat lottery, right?
Enjoy the shows from the upper terrace, mi amigo.

I was at all four Philly shows and won the lottery for Saturday (2nd row, between Mike and Jeff). I had not been up front to see Pearl Jam since March 1995 when I saw them in Singapore; that was a long time ago and I remember going berserk then (adolescence and lack of sobriety had something to do with it). My strategy to savor the Philly lottery win was very different than 14 years ago in Singapore - I did not drink before the show so as to avoid leaving my seat and waiting in line to relieve myself; I didn't rock out the way 5against1 (the original poster) wants all PJ concertgoers to. I was a proud dinosaur who won the lottery at a PJ show. By the way, I regularly crossed my hands so as to support a herniated disc in my back and took regular sit-down breaks so as to relieve the pain in my recently repaired anterior cruciate knee ligament. 5against1, I hope you saw me and that I caused you a lot of mental anguish because I did not behave up to your standards. I also hope that I ruined your enjoyment of the show since, of course, that was my original intent in winning the lottery. Kisses and hugs ....

Oh PUHLEAZE!!! I've been around since '91 and lost my number a couple of times and you don't hear me whining I'm not up in the first 5 rows. Yet I'm probably at least twice your age and never stopped dancing at every show. I may have small hands and bad eye sight but I can take a major bite out of your arse anyday concertwise.
AND You obviously haven't met 12 year old Dirty Little Tom yet. He knows every word to just about every song by Pearl Jam but also is smart enough to know you got to pay your dues to earn your way up there. He's working on it and just happy to be in the house when Pearl Jam plays. Doubt many of you other 'younger folks 'ever even heard Sweet Lew, satans bed, rats, or Outta My Mind before the other night - he has and was totally rocking it out back in section 211. They feel our energy just as much as anyone surrounding the stage and I highly doubt any of the people I know that hit the lottery were just standing around with an incredible setlist like that. I've been waiting many years and shows to hear those songs played again. Thanks PJ.

I think its funny to see some of you get all worked up over this. Its just an opinion. Does the truth hurt?

What a wonderful, well thought out response, 5against1 - bring it back to the "truth" - which, of course, only you know. We are so blessed to have you reveal this to us. I sincerely hope my zombie-like, dinosaur behavior after having won the lottery on Saturday night reduced your enjoyment of the show.

Yeah, the truth that I am 33, have seen more shows than I am years old, and I doubt you'll find anyone getting into a show more than me. I am living proof that you are wrong.

All the power to you, mate, from a fellow 33-year old dinosaur! Rock on!

And that's the definition of flamebait that you asked about. Making a post just to get a rise.
