Anticipating June/08

I'm not sure about everyone else, but ever since these shows on the East Coast were announced, I've been extremely happy. I go to bed thinking about Pearl Jam, and I wake up thinking about Pearl Jam.
Trying to get tickets via the Ten Club, which I did, was sometimes frustrating as hell, but when I finally got the tickets, it's was instant euphoria. I felt at times like I was under the influence of something...my hands were sweating, my heart pounding,, and so on...
I am so damn psyched about June, it's incredible. I love every aspect of seeing this band. I love traveling to different places, eating local food, meeting loads of people who share your passion in PJ, seeing if the poster is a good one, and if so, how tough will it be to grab one? Most importantly, I am addicted to the music, and hoping the band plays a song you've been dying to hear! A different setlist each night is such an essential part of what makes PJ shows so fucking special.
Anyway, I had to get off my chest how much I love this freaking band/way of life. Anyone else with me on this?

I also took a friend to Best Buy wednesday and bought him rearview mirror and pearl jam. We rode around for the next two hours burning that precious fuel and listened to choice cuts.
My mood has noticeably changed since I got my 2 to Columbia SC in the pre-sale. I am obsessed with the greatest band ever - nobody else is even close.
I honestly love every song on every pearl jam commercial release.
I moved the NA just over 4 years ago and have managed to see PJ in '05, '06, '07 and now '08... beats seeing them every 3-5 years in Australia (not that I'm complaining, living down there you understand that it costs lots of money to tour down there and you don't expect to see your favourite band every year).
PJ shows are the BEST! PJ fans are AWESOME! It's such a high being in crowds like that. Can't wait to finally get to experience that high in NYC.
Now, I'm about to crack open a Coopers while I finally try and get some work done today... been a bit of a wash (work-wise), too busy buzzing from the ticket high
For me, the next 2 months leading up to the show will pass soooooo slowly - I cannot wait!
Hell yea! I can't wait for June. Starting a new job the 2nd, bday the 12th, PJ 16th, 17th and 19th then going to Canada for a week of fishing to close out the month. So yea......... is it June yet????
You're gonna LOVE Pearl Jam at MSG! It will be 2 nights of bliss.

Unfortunately, many people don't listen to music anything more complex than hip-hop, etc.

The answers are fatal......
Oh boy, the anticipation is killing me! Too exciting! I can't begin to tell you how many times I've watched the Live at the Garden DVD or listened to the bootlegs of those shows.
I'm soooo stoked to be seeing PJ again!
The only show I've seen thus far was in 2005...I can't wait to see them 3 more times this summer! (Hartford, Mansfield x2!)
We're going to be driving about 12 hours to see them, all the way from New Brunswick, Canada....and it's SO going to be worth it! We're planning on playing all the studio releases in order on the journey down!
No doubt. I've been waitin' to see the Jam since '03 and I'm seriously hyped about June. I saw them in VA in '03 and in DC in '98. DC ought to be one hell of a show, and I can't wait! I've been listenin' to all my boot CDs that I bought back in the '96-'00 timeframe and just soakin' it all in.
ill let u know

so i have to satisfy my curiosity ...
what are the top 3 shows you are most excited to see? (dont count more then 1 msg, mansfield, or camden)
2008: MSG 1, Hartford, Mansfield 2, Ed Solo NYC 1
2009: London (O2), Philly 1, 2, 3, & 4
2010: Hartford, Boston, MSG 1 & 2
2011: Ed Solo Hartford
2012: Philly (MIA Fest)
2013: Worcester 2, Brooklyn 1 & 2, Hartford
i have been tuned into the pj channel as well.
Well, to be honest, either MSG has to be #1, because I'm a NYer, and there's nothing like the Garden.
I'm not sure I can pick any others. I'm pretty much equally excited about all the rest, although the Mansfield ones might work out nicely, because my brother owns a house on Cape Cod. Hopefully, I'll be able to stay there after Hartford..

Don't underestimate the Hartford show. I think you could very well see a Grand Rapids '06-type setlist at this show, not in length but in terms of gems not played in some time.
