*** Noblesville Fanviews Here 5/7/10 ***

HoosierJam

first off let me say thanks to ten club for getting the lottery this time center section row 1 (well actually row 2 due to the mysterious orchestra row that was there). either way it didn't matter. had a wonderful time as usual and so happy to finally get lotto seats. just amazing! went to Columbus the night before which was a surprisingly a great set where we sat 20 row center. just an incredible experience up front at Noblesville. So glad to get up front. I'm sure with all the 10 clubbers I would have been back there. Verizon is Verizon. Long lines, bad traffic and so on. You just deal with it and have a good time, that's all you can do there. great outside venue. It was probably a once and a lifetime to get 1st row and we took advantage of it and rocked out with a big smile on my face. once again, thanks guys!!!!!

Either the band makes it all better or the band does not.

You create your own reality. :idea:

The End.

I feel the need too add my two cents in here:
Traffic is traffic - I have never been to a show where there was none.
I arrived plenty early, but with the weather issues, one can and should EXPECT delays.
The ticket dispersal was the only thing I took exception to - and I will say, I DO NOT blame TC.
I stood on that grassy knoll with my friends for over an hour - and some genius from Event Staff decided it would be the best course of action to announce on the bull horn for all in line to come on up. No thought to organization as well as safety for all involved.
It was like a scene out of Brave Heart...I have never seen a stampede like that - I barely got "what the fuck"
out before all the folks behind me had now taken their rightful place in front of those who had been waiting already (insert sarcasm here). That fault rests solely with the venue. I did see Pete (PJ security) there checking out the situation - which made me feel pretty good - I know the band was keeping an eye on what was going on.
Having said all that, once the first notes of Release started to waft through the air - I forgot all about that mega cluster fuck. The band sincerely brought their A game, and it showed in every song & interaction. I was once again reminded how much I truly love this band, as well as how they truly care about their fans. You are a class act Pearl Jam - don't ever change. The trip up from Miami was more than worth it & I would go anywhere, to any venue to catch you. You guys rock my universe!!!!!!

Wow, what a show, and what an experience. I won the lottery and got 9th row center seats, by far the best seats I've had for a PJ show(had 2nd row for Ed solo).

Matt! You are the luckiest person!! It's me Jo, who you so graciously sold your other EV solo ticket. Thank you again for one of the best nights of my life!! I still can't believe how great that night was and it's all thanks to you!!!

We also went to Noblesville (also Columbus & Cleveland). Our seats were in Section G, row E..(number after lapsing once :roll: is now 205,xxx) which was directly behind the VIP boxes. It turned out pretty great because the VIP guests mostly wanted to sit down, which meant we had the perfect view to the stage. I made a bet with my dh that they would stand up for Alive and Even Flow and I was right.

Great show, would rate it as #3 of 3 for us on this tour.

Pearl Jam concert ROCKED!! Me and my dad got out of the parking lot pretty fast, no hold backs or stops. First, PJ concert. On my dad's account, so im guna tell ya what I think about the concert. im 12 and it was an awesome concert, eddie vedder's pretty dang kewl, and uuumm, IT WAS FREEZING OUTSIDE, but it was really worth it. the band sounds great live, im SUPER glad they played JEREMY, my favorite song, cant stop listenin to it. i cant wait to go to another PJ concert. hope they come back around Indiana soon. i didnt have a problem with the weather delay, just another excuse to stay late. the fans around us were pretty kewl, expecially the couple from Ohio around the King's Island area. the guy had a Pearl Jam tattoo on his arm. PJ ROCKED!! im so glad i got to go to the concert. After that concert, im hooked to Pearl Jam for life.

Great, great show. Eddie appeared to be sick as he blew his nose a few times off stage left. Still sounded fantastic.

Nice to hear a few new tracks mixed in with some old favs. Off He Goes, Goin Back to Indiana, and Rats were the highlights in the opening set.

First encore was spectacular altogether.

Second encore blew the doors off!!! Garden (orig version) & Whipping were stellar. Alive and Baba turned the place on it's head. Then the customary cool-down on Ledbetter.

I absolutely did not leave disappointed. I was one of the many who travelled from Chicago to go to the show and it was worth it (as it always is!).

Anyone stuck in the will call line needs to realize that the window opens hours before the show for a reason. Show up earlier next time and pick up the tix well in advance. The roads/parking lot situation did, however, blow.

I am Faithfull

On a separate note, the show was awesome, but it was very weird being in the lawn. I felt like I was the only one into it, at least in my little area! During GTF, it was pretty awkward when I sang, "Well fuckers, he still stands," and was jumping around because nobody was with me on it!

I was in the lawn, and I assure you I was jumping around and then reaching my arms to the skies on that line!!!

4th show, 1st in 7 years. Completely blew my hair back - impossible to have any other result with this band. As anyone on this board knows, this band can truly touch your soul and they did mine on multiple occasions, starting with Release, ending with YLB, and many times between. In My Tree, Seriously?!?!?!?!?
Goin' Back to Indiana is sinking in with me now - can't wait to hear the boot!

One thing though....
It's French Lick fucker!!!!

Shannon Miller

Rats + Lukin were my highlights. Mike McCready was absolutely stellar, great show!

In reply to IaF -- that's definitely one of the benefits, sitting in 10C seats. As I wrote, our section F was just a great vibe, into EVERY song....

I went up to the Lawn for the first Encore and definitely witnessed some mayhem for Given To Fly, Lukin, Better Man, Do The Evolution ... seemed like everyone was into it on Mike's side. Honestly it was so cold, I thought, meh, I know the last encore will be standard, maybe I'll just jet.... beat the traffic.

First strains of Garden I was back in the seats and working up close!!!!

One thing you DON'T wanna do in the 10C seats ... is lose it, cause you'll answer for it. I have not begun to call this loser out:

And then, we had our own Boston Puker, Sec F Row O (not M), Seat (should I do it? I know exactly which seat you were in!) You f'n mofo!!! Just let loose, and this river of puke flowing down 8-10 rows. And he wasn't gonna leave or do nuthin', just sittin there holding his head. So we made sure medical hauled his ass away and finally threw some absorbent shit down on it.

His buddy just put a hand on his shoulder and sat there too. No apologies, no recognition of how awful they had just made the event for EVERYONE around them.... Nuh uh. Ya'll are GONE! No really, I just care about you and wanna be sure your alcohol poisoning gets taken care of!

:twisted:

I need to thank the Ten Club & all responsible for the chance to get 1,2,9 or 10th row seats. I won 10th row and since my first live show in 1995 at Soldier Field in Chicago, this was the closest I have ever been to a band of guys I have known for a very long time. Those behind me in row 11 and beyond had energy that night that will never be forgotten. I know they put in thier time and I saw they appreciated my enthusiasm. We have a real good thing going here, please keep up the good work. Thank you.

Met my fellow ten club buddy near Woodfield at Noon and dropped him off at his car at 4 AM. Now that's one hell of a road trip. We parked at 6:45 eastern time, waited out the lines, unfortunately missed Band of Horses due to those lines, got a new tshirt, then probably saw the best setlist of the nine shows I've been to. I'm partial to any songs from Live on Two Legs as that CD got me hooked growing up. Off He Goes was legendary. Last Exit, In My Tree, Lukin, Whipping, and Rats are absolutely outstanding live. I would take them at every show. Those are full on energy. I thought Jeremy was excellent. Garden and Down were firsts for me. Release could open every show that I attend and I would be a happy man. My favorite part of the whole show was probably the WMA tag. I love that each and every time. Such a privilege to hear that as popularized by LoTL. I had a heck of a good time out in the middle of the prairie. First time back out to N'Ville since The Who back in 2002 during my Purdue years. Traffic was traffic like any place else, the location was beautiful, rain was insignificant, and you can't beat PJ in the great outdoors. Hoping for another visit to East Troy soon!!

Great show as usual but HORRIBLE venue. The lines in were ridiculous.
will post WISHLIST video tomorrow.

Thanks for posting this, since I was there but missed Release due to weather and ten club line issues. At least I saw the video!

Bah I hope a video of In My Tree pops up on YouTube. I've seen videos of just about every other song from the show EXCEPT In My Tree.

Sorry if this is duplication if someone already mentioned this, but there are a lot of pages on here...someone earlier had mentioned they bet PJ would get fined for playing past 11pm. I asked a security guard before the show if he had heard anything about if they would be forced to stop playing at 11pm and he told me that they could keep playing they just get charged $1,000.00 per minute and that PJ had already agreed to play until 11:30pm. I know $30k is not much to PJ, but I am still impressed that they agreed to take on that fine just to do what they love and to be there for their fans!

We were in 3rd row on the McCready side and I agree with everyone else, the sound was AMAZING on that side of stage! It was a once in a lifetime opportunity for us to be 3rd row and, next to my wedding, one of the best nights of my life!

I'm also sorry to everyone who had a bad experience at Verizon...I just hope it doesn't discourage future Indy shows because Indy is the heart of the mid-west and so accessible for many people to be able to see multiple PJ shows a tour. I sure hope they come back to Indy soon, the BEST band in the world!!!!!!

I am not even sure where to start with this show. It was crazy - rainy, delayed, unsure if it was even going to happen - all messed up in any number of ways.... but it ended up being the show of a lifetime for me personally. My boyfriend won the lottery and we were front row, dead center... and I was simply overwhelmed. When I heard the first strains of Release I just started to cry... fucking Release and the front row???? How did this happen??? Then to get Last Exit next, along with Why Go in the first five - seriously??? In my personal experience, any time you get Why Go in the first five... hang on, cuz you're in for one hell of a ride! And that held true once again. In My Tree, Supersonic, Insignificance, Down, RATS, LUKIN, Garden and Whipping... genius. Did I mention RATS and LUKIN?? I swear if they had played In Hiding, Not For You, and Footsteps Eddie would still be finding bits of my brain all over him.

Sound was a bit off, but I assumed it was because of my proximity and frankly, I could have cared less...I was in another world! :P It seemed like the band really wanted to give something back after all the craziness and they did, it was an amazing night... capped by Mr. Vedder handing me his wine at the end of the night!! Thanks Ed, I was parched... and it tasted oh so sweet! It was an amazing night in Noblesville, thanks to my generous bf, my wonderful friends, and the band I love.

I went deep... I was diving... and when I surfaced all of my being was enlightened...

if so, they should get a discount for not being able to start on time.
