Incredible experience, I scored front row dead center. I am very grateful to the Ten Club for giving my son and I this cherished opportunity. Many Thanks! Incredible show, epic set list list and a profound experience. The energy and emotion the band showed was off the charts. The new songs were so well done, Force OF Nature and Unthought Known sounded so clean and well worked, I was surprised. Sad and Undone were just incredible. EV discussing HZ was something I will never forget, he was clearly impacted by the man.
Not For You was a highlight, the rawness and extended vibe of that song was impressive.
I hope everyone here has an opportunity to win the best seats. I have some observations after spending a night in front of Ed’s mic stand. Release always is such a great opener, the rear blue lights come on slowly, all you can see are the silhouettes of the band, as the sound builds you can fell them on top of you and the energy envelops your body, YOU are illuminated for THEM. Bring you’re A-game, you are on stage with them and you can be sure they see you, read you and feel your engagement into the show. If you sing, be certain you know the words, to me they are critiquing their best fans just as we can be critical of their shows and performance. This is how it should be.
My 12 year old son was completely blown away, he got some ev pics and Jeff tossed him his black Ament embroidered sweatband. Awesome night, we will never forget it.
Thank you Pearl Jam and Boston. After 25 shows I finally got Release! Undone, Rival and Push Me Pull Me were also firsts. Other highlights for me were In My Tree, Red Mosquito, Why Go, And.... Let me just stop before I have to name another 25 songs. I have seen some of the most talked about shows over the years and last nights show will be fighting it out in my head to move to the top of that list.

Wow-Thats show was just impressive. The positive vibes were excuded from everyone. The set list was one for the record books. Pearl Jam is like fine wine, they only get better with age. The perfection of Love Reign o'er me was just amazing, opening with Release supurb! Rival was one of the songs I really wanted to hear this tour. Unthought known gets better and better each time I hear it. I only wish the night did not end, I wish I could have harnesed that energy for my entire life!
The shout outs at the beginning of the show were awesome, they mentioned my town Franklin I was so excited!
Thank you ten club for the great seats, (as usual) I got 16th row.
Thank you Pearl Jam you never dissapoint, and thank you fans for being who you are!

:shock:
lucky, lucky!
fantastic for you!
(and sure, how i wish to have that some day, me and mr. dream )
i am just so PSYCHED for newark tonight, both MSGs....what an awesome setlist boston, sounds like amazing energy....bring it on NJ/NY!
Unbelievable, this is one of the best shows I have ever seen. The setlist was amazing. My seats were amazing. The whole night was amazing. Thanks 10c for hooking me up with seats in the second row on mikes side. You cant get any better than that. Seriously, yesterday was one of the best days of my life!
i am still is shock. what an amazing last few days. Show 17 & 18 for me. Reality has hit me hard this morning as I try to get back to the routine.
Everyone I bumped into last night was a newbie! Like 6 or 7 people right in a row. Big shout out to Angie at the Penalty Box. She was a cool person! So glad you and your husband enjoyed your first show and hopefully not your last! Also John E!!!! I still love your middle name!!!!!
To the 2 guys in section 13 who came up from Florida, it was so worth it!!!! Glad you enjoyed yourselved!
Love the red sox tshirt, sorta makes up for the lacking whalers shirt. I actually love the poster. Its not as great as Hartford's but I like the Boston one for whole other reasons.
Loved push me pull me. Loved release opener. Loved Red Mosquito. Pilate! In the 2 shows I got to hear all but 1 song off the new album that I wanted so that was a lot of check marks made on my master list! My friend got a pick from Mike. I bought some of those stickers and passed them out to a bunch of people.
I just dont know how this band does it time after time. I am never disappointed. I am always so surprised. They always sound amazing. Thank you Pearl Jam! Thank you Ten Club! Thank you Jammers! Thank you Hartford and Boston!!!! What an incredible couple of nights!
My last 4 shows have been Boston, Hartford, Philly 3 and Philly 4. All incredible experiences and I'm sure my personal preference might very well differ from someone else who attended the same shows. But anyone at these concerts should just feel appreciative of being a fan of this incredible band. I honestly believe they are better than ever as a live band, they play these amazing sets with so much energy, skill, and love for the music, each other, and the audience.
As someone mentioned, I think Hartford and Boston paired incredibly well with only 7 songs that repeated from the prior show last night. Very different vibe between the nights -- the main constant I see is that when you don't think they can do any better they just prove you wrong.
Don't know if anyone mentioned this, but the only deviation from the written setlist was RITFW instead of ledbetter.
This show was incredible. Thank you ten club for the amazing seats first of all. What a set!! I can't believe I heard Sad, In My Tree, Not For You, Undone, Push Me Pull Me, Pilate, Crown of Thorns, Hail Hail, Rival...all in the same setlist. This was one of those nights. I don't mean to compare it to any of the Philly concerts but my friends were at 3 and they said this blew it away. However, they did have better seats last night. It doesn't matter, last night was the best show I have been to.
Went with a friend who said they always get great seats. I guess 3rd row means she wasn't lying! Only the 6th time I have been 3rd row or closer, I'm having a great run for seats this tour. People need to stop attacking 10club over seats, they are taking care of Pearl Jam's fans! On my way to Newark right now so can only say the show was awesome as they all have been! This is the best band of alltime simply put. I think they hit that mark a few years ago and are widening the gap. I am not saying that because I love Pearl Jam, I love Pearl Jam because of this!
Amazing night - understatement. Had a great time in Hartford so I was wondering how this would stack up. Band of Horses is a really cool band, so I enjoyed seeing them again, especially when ED came out to finish their last song with them. Very cool moment and Band of Horses was very grateful and appreciative. While the crew is setting the stage for PJ, Tedi Bruschi walks down toward the floor to wild cheers and high fives and cell phone pictures. He came down to the floor and walked right by me - Floor F, Row 14 - no complaints about the seats, thanks again 10 Club. I had much better seats than Tedi, actually.
I should mention that between BoH and PJ I came back from the bathroom and walked by a little area where they were doing sign language of the songs. A guy had a stack of set lists and I instinctively peeked and saw the first 3 before making myself look away. I'd much rather be surprised.
Lights down and into a beautiful RELEASE, rockin' ANIMAL, and the Fixer - which confirmed what I saw on the set list. The rest was pure surprise and I'm so glad I didn't look at any more songs. IN MY TREE, PUSH ME PULL ME (never cared much for it, but was definitely cool to see live since they never play it and they actually did a great job with it - I'm loving Mike on backing vocals, by the way). A highlight for me was PILATE. I absolutely love that song and have been wanting to hear it for years and it was awesome to finally get it. UNDONE was a nice surprise after a Zinn talk - thought for sure we'd be getting Down. Not For You is always killer live. Why Go closed a great first set.
First Encore and the set up has all the makings for Just Breathe but we get BEE GIRL first instead. Very cool to hear that one. Then Just Breathe, which the crowd absolutely loved. They rocked the hell out of REIGN OVER ME and then another amazing surprise - RIVAL. Soundchecked it in Hartford so I was hoping to get it.
Ed jokes with the guy in the cow suit at the start of the second encore and asks if his nipples are still chaffing from the time Stone sucked on them. So random and hilarious and Stone plays along great with the banter. SMILE is always amazing to hear. Time is quickly moving past 11 so I'm thinking we're done soon. The band takes their places at the back of the stage so it's gotta be Last Kiss, but instead they play SOLDIER OF LOVE and it was beautiful. Great crowd participation, and at the end Ed looks to the front of the stage and holds out his mic and we all do the 'Cha Cha Cha' which makes him smile. Wasted Reprise leads into BETTERMAN and the crowd takes over the first verse perfectly. Great extended jam and crowd response with Ed leading into Save It For Later. The place absolutely loved it. CROWN OF THORNS was great - and as people have mentioned, gives credence to the statements that they do read the board sometimes. A rocking ALIVE with the lights up and then Mike gets his strat and Stone the acoustic so it's gonna be Ledbetter. But Matt and Jeff start talking, call Ed over, Mike joins the huddle and then the crew brings new guitars. Stone is off on his side not seeing this and the first notes of RITFW start while he's still getting his guitar. Jeff points over to him and they laugh, then start RITFW again and rip through it with a long jam, Ed probably threw out 8 tambourines.
Unbelievable set. Amazing crowd and energy. The band was dead on, lots of jumps, crowd interactions, etc. They again showed their love for Boston. The Red Sox logo t-shirt is really cool too. Many thanks once again to the 10 Club for providing such an amazing service to us fans and thanks to the band for another memorable night. Looking forward to the next time. Flying back to Houston today so I have to throw it in - TOUR THE SOUTH! We love you down here too!

No time to be void, or save up on life, you've got to spend it all
I'm deaf, my throat is hoarse, but last night was totally worth it!
Brought my brother who went to Boston with me in '06, he's also a huugge fan. Weren't sure how that year could be topped. Well, I walked in, got my 10c seats, and won lottery!!! Front row right in front of Stone!!!
(that was my brother jumping around screaming like a girl in front of the 10c window in case anyone saw, lol)
The whole experience was so surreal. I was watching Stone's facial expressions and how his tight guitar playing all night, such a sight to behold. During RITFW, McCready came to our side of the stage, and I caught some of his pics. Not sure he knows how much that meant to me, he's the sole reason why I picked up a guitar, and to get some of his pics is something I'll always cherish.
The woman next to me got Eddie's tambourine, she let me get a few beats on it, haha, but she was so stoked and I was so happy for her and her husband, great people.
And this was my kind of setlist, I absolutely loved Hartford the other night, and this show complimented that one very well. In My Tree, Red Mosquito, GTF, Rival, Not For You, Undone, Pilate....whaaaatt?!
This will take a while to all soak in, but thank you 10c and Pearl Jam and whoever is looking out for upstairs, because I've never even won a raffle, and her I was front row at Pearl Jam!!

Big plus: Ed mentioned the town I live in (Norwood) as well as an affiliate of the company I work for (Partners in Health). I'm pretty sure you'll hear me yelling after he mentioned Norwood on the bootleg.
and i love how clowns keep bringing up the flyers or yankees
do you not understand that last night was about pearl jam? obviously not because you weren't there and feel the need to put down boston because it had an amazing show
really???
a-rod could have dropped his pants and given papelbon shinshee shinshee and we wouldn't care...
and we're well aware the the flyers won... congrats... go bother a montrealian
anyway... last night was a great show... definitely up a notch from buffalo and hartford
but boston (and philly and nyc) crowds always are a notch above
I never realized until now that the riff Mike added to Alive at the end was Heaven and Hell ... he does that riff a lot during Alive but i always assumed it was Iron Man or Warpigs ... nice timely little tribute though last night
Ditto to all of the above posts. Absolutely the best, varied, energetic PJ shows I have been to of the 20 shows I have seen! My fan club seats were incredible, the crowd was incredible and dedicating SMILE to Jenn was downright touching. Never thought I would get to hear Crown of Thorns either, also from a board request. The entire show was just EPIC!!

I actually thought it was War Pigs last night too.
Iron Man has definitely turned up in Porch jams before.
Amazing show. Thanks to the guys in LOGE2 ROW 1 who traded their seats for our floors. Definitely a big help.
stickman I was right behind you guys. Good stuff indeed. I have a few quick pictures up on my blog http://toddiet123.blogspot.com/2010/05/ ... arden.html with a bunch more to upload..was just in a meeting this am (and later today). I'll have a full review that probably will be posted to www.melophobe.com as well.
Theo and his wife were sitting on Mike's side of the stage. He didn't perform, but he's the "T" to whom Just Breathe was dedicated. He was in a pretty weak disguise (that's the only way I recognized him). Before PJ came on stage, Theo was standing off to the side. Once I recognized him I yelled out and asked him the score. He gave me a thumbs down.
Anyway, it was a great show. Initially I was disappointed with my seats (parallel to the front of the stage) but then I realized that it could have been a lot worse and I enjoyed the show. Beyond psyched I finally got to see Crown of Thorns. Hopefully my photos/videos came out.

i was wondering if the T was Tedy Bruschi
maybe Ed is a slut and was killing 2 birds with one stone
Great show. 27th in the Boston area so they wanted to mix it up. That they did. Not gonna ramble, just want to say thank you to the band, 10C and to everyone that was there last night. Amazing experience. I will say that I love Stone: I LOVE STONE!
still can't believe all the awesome nuggets we got last night! perfect way to end my little mini tour (buffalo and hartford)...my seat once again were kickass (LOGE 11 row 6 seat 1, on the wing so i could rock my ass off!) thank you 10club!
save you, not for you and hail hail were among the personal favorites last night...hits songs and a hella bunch of rarities...release opener...wow i am soon going to be very jealous of the ny/nj crowd!

30+ shows, and this band just continues to blow me away. Just an incredible evening.
Teddy Bruschi was sitting 3 rows behind me in loge 22 (great seats, BTW....thanks 10c). Not sure if he moved or not after the show started. His wife's friend wouldn't let us take pictures of him. She kept moving in front of him when we tried.
Again, just a great, great show. Great mix of songs and the crowd was as good as I can remember for the Garden. I hope they come back soon.
Comments
completely awesome!
Not For You was a highlight, the rawness and extended vibe of that song was impressive.
I hope everyone here has an opportunity to win the best seats. I have some observations after spending a night in front of Ed’s mic stand. Release always is such a great opener, the rear blue lights come on slowly, all you can see are the silhouettes of the band, as the sound builds you can fell them on top of you and the energy envelops your body, YOU are illuminated for THEM. Bring you’re A-game, you are on stage with them and you can be sure they see you, read you and feel your engagement into the show. If you sing, be certain you know the words, to me they are critiquing their best fans just as we can be critical of their shows and performance. This is how it should be.
My 12 year old son was completely blown away, he got some ev pics and Jeff tossed him his black Ament embroidered sweatband. Awesome night, we will never forget it.
Enjoy the rest of the tour.

UNDONE was a nice surprise after a Zinn talk - thought for sure we'd be getting Down. Not For You is always killer live. Why Go closed a great first set.
First Encore and the set up has all the makings for Just Breathe but we get BEE GIRL first instead. Very cool to hear that one. Then Just Breathe, which the crowd absolutely loved. They rocked the hell out of REIGN OVER ME and then another amazing surprise - RIVAL. Soundchecked it in Hartford so I was hoping to get it.
Ed jokes with the guy in the cow suit at the start of the second encore and asks if his nipples are still chaffing from the time Stone sucked on them. So random and hilarious and Stone plays along great with the banter. SMILE is always amazing to hear. Time is quickly moving past 11 so I'm thinking we're done soon. The band takes their places at the back of the stage so it's gotta be Last Kiss, but instead they play SOLDIER OF LOVE and it was beautiful. Great crowd participation, and at the end Ed looks to the front of the stage and holds out his mic and we all do the 'Cha Cha Cha' which makes him smile. Wasted Reprise leads into BETTERMAN and the crowd takes over the first verse perfectly. Great extended jam and crowd response with Ed leading into Save It For Later. The place absolutely loved it.

A rocking ALIVE with the lights up and then Mike gets his strat and Stone the acoustic so it's gonna be Ledbetter. But Matt and Jeff start talking, call Ed over, Mike joins the huddle and then the crew brings new guitars. Stone is off on his side not seeing this and the first notes of RITFW start while he's still getting his guitar. Jeff points over to him and they laugh, then start RITFW again and rip through it with a long jam, Ed probably threw out 8 tambourines.
Unbelievable set. Amazing crowd and energy. The band was dead on, lots of jumps, crowd interactions, etc. They again showed their love for Boston. The Red Sox logo t-shirt is really cool too. Many thanks once again to the 10 Club for providing such an amazing service to us fans and thanks to the band for another memorable night. Looking forward to the next time. Flying back to Houston today so I have to throw it in - TOUR THE SOUTH! We love you down here too!

Brought my brother who went to Boston with me in '06, he's also a huugge fan. Weren't sure how that year could be topped. Well, I walked in, got my 10c seats, and won lottery!!! Front row right in front of Stone!!!
(that was my brother jumping around screaming like a girl in front of the 10c window in case anyone saw, lol)
The whole experience was so surreal. I was watching Stone's facial expressions and how his tight guitar playing all night, such a sight to behold.

This will take a while to all soak in, but thank you 10c and Pearl Jam and whoever is looking out for upstairs, because I've never even won a raffle, and her I was front row at Pearl Jam!!

Amazing show. Thanks to the guys in LOGE2 ROW 1 who traded their seats for our floors. Definitely a big help.
http://toddiet123.blogspot.com/2010/05/ ... arden.html with a bunch more to upload..was just in a meeting this am (and later today). I'll have a full review that probably will be posted to www.melophobe.com as well.
Nice to have met you.
Anyway, it was a great show. Initially I was disappointed with my seats (parallel to the front of the stage) but then I realized that it could have been a lot worse and I enjoyed the show. Beyond psyched I finally got to see Crown of Thorns. Hopefully my photos/videos came out.
i was wondering if the T was Tedy Bruschi
maybe Ed is a slut and was killing 2 birds with one stone
save you, not for you and hail hail were among the personal favorites last night...hits songs and a hella bunch of rarities...release opener...wow i am soon going to be very jealous of the ny/nj crowd!

Teddy Bruschi was sitting 3 rows behind me in loge 22 (great seats, BTW....thanks 10c). Not sure if he moved or not after the show started. His wife's friend wouldn't let us take pictures of him. She kept moving in front of him when we tried.
Again, just a great, great show. Great mix of songs and the crowd was as good as I can remember for the Garden. I hope they come back soon.
