Are all Pearl Jam concerts like this?
I went to my first concert in August in Toronto at The Molson Amphitheater. I just found this short video of them playing Betterman there. The whole crowd was singing and it's amazing how much they get into it. I've never been to a concert where there were that many die hard fans and I can't wait to see them again. Anyway's i'm just curious to see if it's like that anywhere they play? And if so i'd love to see other videos like that.

If you have nothing to lose, you have nothing to worry about.

I've been to a few Betterman sing-a-longs before, but I've never heard ANYTHING like that. I hope when the boots come out it captures this magic...it was chilling and I get goose-bumps everytime I hear it. I've never heard an audience sing-a-long that was as loud, as synchronized, and as impassioned...each word from the audience was clear and on the mark. On the video, it looks like Eddie was even tearing up a bit. The best part was the audience didn't stop.
It's usually like this with regard to the not-stopping, however. People are singing all the words to "Push Me Pull Me", "Leash", heck even "Lukin". It's really something when you're at shows talking to fans around you (Pearl Jam fans are the highest quality people in the world, so down-to-earth, friendly, and modest), and you'll hear "I hope they play Breath, that's my favorite song" and you'll say "Holy Sh%#! Me too!" Or they start playing "Force of Nature" and you say "Alright! I freakin' love this song" and someone will say "Yeah man, this is a beautiful song".
Honestly, fans at other rock concerts can be simply lame in comparsion. The best part is it's all about the music, plain and simple.
75- 80,000 people screaming "Hellloooooo" during small town was priceless. It had been too long for Texas Baby.

I think you can see - while not all Pearl Jam shows or crowds are the same - they all cross over into the grounds of religious experience.

"In 2004, the Beastie Boys released a live concert documentary entitled "Awesome... I F'in Shot That." They handed out 50 minidv cameras to members of the audience, who documented the event, and everything was edited together to offer a unique perspective of the show. After seeing Pearl Jam live in Madison Square Garden on June 25, 2008, I couldn't help but notice all of the digital cameras and camera phones that surrounded me. It seemed like a similar experiment was taking place, albeit in a less official and organized manner. I searched message boards, video hosting sites, and online communities in an effort to track down as many different perspectives of this specific performance as I could. Featured above is the result, a "fan video" in the truest sense of the word."
Aaahhh that video was great! I never get tired of reliving those nights
That Molson show was awesome, but like so many have said, all PJ shows are like that Black @ Molson was unbelievable too... something about the TO crowds with Black, they always carry it on and on and on... incredible! First time I heard Last Kiss was at MSG2 last year and the singing and clapping during that was so intense and loud. The Philly shows were on another level entirely. WOW!
Glad you had such an awesome time and welcome to the land of the PJ obsessive... it's fun here
It felt like Buddha, christ and mahoma, all in the same place welcoming all of us to heaven, with the small difference that THIS IS REAL!
I need my fix of PJ live soon!

The best sing a long. IMO
I never got to see it live :(
Hey, thanx for posting this link! I am an aussie, went to the Brissy show this year and didn't get a Betterman sing-a-long so bloody enjoyed living vicariously through your link!! It gave me goosebumps, which might be a pavlovian resposne from listening to the Brissy 06 bootleg where I did get my sing-a-long, it still gives me goosebumps every time I hear, three years on and no signs of becoming immune to listening to the crowd sing to Eddie and the band!!!
