Those at the show are sooooo lucky, they may have witnessed one of the best
set lists evah.
I almost cried because I wasn't there.
na na na na na, I was at Boston and you weren't.
Does that about cover it??
good, let's move on.
no
ugh , i hate when that happens
says the dude from cleveland. boston has the better basketball team and it got the better show. deal with it! : )
its cool though, you guys got a whopper of a setlist.
So, Boston is better than Cleveland. Yanks beat the Sox, Giants ruined Pats perfect season, MSG, the greatest city in the world... we NY wins even if our setlists suck

shows how much attention i pay to the cavs lol
boston and cleveland both did get some killer songs and great shows!
but aren't they all great shows!!!!
only cuz all of our old rich people moved there
ie rockefellers etc
damn
every one leaves cleveland lol
reading this post hurt my eyes.
this is not a pissing match. last night was my 4th show of this tour and it blew the rest of them away.
there is no such thing as a bad pearl jam show. (they are like sex and pizza in that regard)
however, some clearly stand out. last night was pretty special.
and it's true...we rock out to our tribute band more than you guys rock out to the real thing!!! and last nights set-list speaks for it's self, PEARL JAM LOVES BOSTON!!!!!
for her to come home
eyes upon the horizon
in the dark before the
darkness leaves the dawn
how can you rank that set list as 3rd best? lol.
I didn't get this feeling at all last night, maybe because it was indoors and on a Monday. This is what happens in Mansfield. When PJ--and pretty much any other band, I've seen it happen at Radiohead--plays at Mansfield, it's like the future cast of 'Wicked Summah" gets in their cars to have a few beahs in the parking lot and doesn't even realize there's a concert. And I have to say, there was a level of this at the Hartford show on Saturday. But last night I didn't get that at all, and I think that's partially what made it such a great show. I mean I think Eddie took a chance with that setlist in Boston...he said that Boston was one of the only places they could get away with it, but really there are two kinds of Boston crowds: the diehard fans and the massholes. I think on a Monday night in the city, the former shows up and the latter saves their $80 for this weekend at the Purple Shamrock. I think Eddie totally read the crowd with that setlist and it all aligned perfectly. I only went to two shows on this tour, but after Hartford, I was pretty disappointed-- jeremy, daughter, nothingman, lowlight are all of my least favorite songs and the crowd was "eh" and really drunk. Boston was like a complete 180 and I thought the crowd was a lot a better than usual.
the only people i wanted to slap were the ones who went for pisses and beer during pilate and push me, pull me?
cmon dudes!
wow I saw that nothing of that in my area. People didn't even leave during evenflow. At the show in Chicago last summer, there were so many people leaving during evenflow, my friend who was a first-timer said, "where is everyone going?"
Indifference makes me cry it's so emotion for me. So hearing that song is special in my heart. I'm a girl so as much as I love to rock I have a soft spot for certain slower deeper songs. I rank the setlists accordingly. I was at the the Vic concert and Eddie and Ben Harper closed the show with Indifference and I'll always rank that show as the greatest concert ever for alot of reason but one of the biggest was that performance. Although Cleveland's show was not as good as Boston I think I like that setlist more. Even though I feel silly ranking setlists because I love ever song Pearl Jam has. They could play a Coolio cover and I would love it I'm sure.
I'm actually glad to hear that. Maybe it was just the people we were around for the most part. We all got that feeling but I'm glad to hear it might not of been the case all together. I just don't like arrogance, it's a turnoff and I smelled arrogance in Boston. I'll have a more open mind next time and maybe this won't be the case.
I live 2 hours from New York City, 2 1/2 from Philly, and 5 from Boston.....I can see any ridiculous show they choose to put on in that triumvirate of great PJ cities.
However, I feel it is actually a little too heavy on the rarities for my tastes. Some of those I really dont care to see over some other songs. The mix at Cleveland was really awesome for my tastes... maybe a few small changes, longer length, and an enthusiastic/capacity crowd would make it better.....
I do realize that 90% of PJ fans would choose Boston and rightly so.
it was all love though, believe me.
What is your list of each then?
