*** Cleveland Fanviews Here 5/9/10 ***

I only sparingly get to attend PJ concerts [10 shows spread over 16 years], but I follow these setlists every tour.

One thing that impresses me more and more w/ each tour is the size of their catalogue and how they can craft a different show experience every night out.

I mean, that Cleveland show displays the wealth of material they can pull from, stringing songs together I never would have thought I'd see. Quite impressive, PJ. Keep it up!

EP1973

That set list has an uncanny resemblance to the May 2006 show in Cleveland...which was a great show.

This looks like the best setlist so far!! Wash, Hail Hail, Corduroy, Got Some, In Hiding, World Wide Suicide, Force Of Nature, Immortality, Go. This is a great 9 song run , just love it!!

Did anyone catch what was crossed off/left off the setlist? I know it doesnt matter...just curious I guess. That's why me friends call me whiskers.

What a great show. I had such an amazing night. They played Leash-unbelievable!! We ended up going up into the nosebleed section because all 5'1" of me couldn't see anything from where our seats were. Much better view of the stage. The band was spectacular!!

Best (sound, set list) PJ show I've ever been to...WORST crowd ever! Cleveland has to be embarrassed. I was embarrassed for you. 25 - 35% of the crowd remained in their seats the entire show. During the encores...my God were they lame. I've heard high school basketball games louder. And the most unbelievable sight was folks filing out of the arena during the BEST closing ever(Alive...followed by Indifference). I'm glad this happened though. I hope the band recognizes it and skips the Mistake-by-the-Lake next tour and comes to Pittsburgh. That shit would never fly here. NEVER. PJ, on behalf of that half-ass crowed...I apologize. Come to the 'burgh and I promise we'll show you the respect you deserve. Go Steelers!

Dude saw the show last night next to the finally In phillie best show I have seen them do. Great creaking setlist !

Not sure where everyone was sitting that they are complaining about the crowd.
We were in C124 and it looked like the entire place was jumpin'.
Loved the Wash opener and Indifference closer (and everything in between).
It was great to hang out with all of the 10C traveling faithful as well as the locals.
There was so much energy in the arena last night, I had trouble falling asleep last night.
Enjoy the rest of the tour.
Safe travels to all.

Peace and Best Regards

I also did the Columbus/Indy/Cleveland and its really hard for me to pick a best show because they were all amazing but I think I have to give a slight edge to Cleveland just based on setlist alone although I thought it was the sloppiest so far (This could of been where I was sitting where the sound for the rocking tunes sounded like one big jumbled mess but I thought I heard flubs in a couple songs, most notably in Got Some and something sounded way off in Leash. Dont know if it was the sound where I was sitting or if there really was something weird going on with it but it didnt sound good although I loved that they played it.) But im not one to let a few mistakes detract from an amazing show. Saw Immortality for the first time and my jaw was on the floor, the solo and little jam at the end were absolutley incredible. Also really happy to see Wash! Sleigh of Hand and Smile. Unfortunatley my little mini tour is over and god knows how long it will be before I get to see them again but this has been one of the best weeks of my life, thank you so much Pearl Jam!

EDIT: About the crowd, where I was sitting there were some people sitting and only seemed to get into it when a radio hit was played but hey thats been my experience at almost every PJ show ive been too. Overall I thought the crowd was pretty great, really loud and looking around the arena it looked like everyone was into it but I will agree that of the 3 midwest shows I saw it was the weakest crowd but its not like it was terrible or something.

My third show in four nights. All three shows (Columbus, Indy and Cleve) were freaking sweet. I cannot wait for the bootlegs. I think Ed was the least chatty of the three shows at this one, but he was still having a good time. I was mesmorized by Stone who was rocking out (for him) way harder than the other two shows. It was just fun to watch him have so much fun. Seeing Stone and Jeff singing "drop the leash, drop the leash..." was an amazing moment I never thought I would see. They played I think 13 or so songs they didnt play at the other shows, and I saw about 60 different songs over three nights, including 10-15 I had never seen before, not counting Backspacer.

Personal highlights from this show... Wash, In Hiding, Immortality, Sleight of Hand, Leash, Army Reserve, Force of Nature, Smile and Indifference.

great show. Had a great time and couldn't have gotten a better set list. I was disappointed in the attendance and am thinking it had alot to do with several factors 1) Sunday night 2) mothers day 3) $75 is alot for a casual fan. Both the 2003 and 2006 shows were sold out completely, even with the back areas behind the stage- tickets were also $45 and those shows were on a Friday night I believe (2006 may have been a Saturday). That disappointed me alot and I understand why we don't get shows often when we can't sell out. I still had a great time, and I loved hearing Leash for the first time.

Awesome show. I made the 100 mile drive from pittsburgh, and I was not dissapointed. One of the best setlists of any PJ show I have seen. Cheers.....

A FRONT ROW THANK YOU!!
I gave my other ticket to my buddy for his b-day, expecting modest seats. We had no idea what we were about to encounter. The ticket lady *smiled*, saying "you have very good seats, enjoy"... wtf???
I won the lottery !! FRONT ROW DEAD CENTER!!! holy crap....
I am still suffering from some post-PJ shock but needed to post.
The set was tremendous....
WASH... intro... awesome. Porch was the best version i have ever heard. LEASH UNREAL!!!!I can go on, and will for many years... It's surreal seeing a band up close that you have loved and followed for so many years. Those that know, you know what i mean. I have some awesome pics of course.
They gel so well up there. You don't always see that from traditional seating. I felt like I was 15yrs old again looking at the band up-close that has stuck with me ever since. There's an undescribable vibe with these guys, and I had a front row version last night... Still can't believe it...
The best F***ing band in the world keeps getting better like a fine wine.
And Ed's sweet berry wine was a flowin!
Thanks for the pick Ed! and thanks for hooking a long-time fan up TEN CLUB!
Please come to Pittsburgh, go PENS!

THEY PLAYED SMILE FOR HIPPIEMOM! anyone else think of laura when they played smile?

great setlist, great show!

CantKeepmedown

Setlist looks unbelievable. Best of the tour so far.

Was the venue full? A couple reviews I've read are saying there were between 10-12,000 people there, yet I think the capacity of the Q is 20,000. DId it look empty?

No matter, really. Those that were there were treated to quite a show.

After getting 10C tix to all 4 Spectrum shows I wasnt sure I was going to do a show this go around. My sister bought 10C tix with her number and said lets go. SHE HIT 1ST ROW IN FRONT OF MIKE! It was the best night ever! I thought nothing would beat Philly 3 for me, well being in front of Mike will change that. He showered us with picks and the best part, he busted a string during Unthought Known and stepped down and handed the string to my sister. Then during Alive Ed came over sat right in front of us and slapped us five! Not to mention Its hard for me to get new songs and I got 3! Wash, Sleight of Hand, and Indifference. What a night! Thanks 10C!!!!!
