    would it be because most of the fanclub members probably saw last nights show and were just tired or the show couldn't live up to last night's expectations, so the level of energy was lower?

    I thought the show was great. I was on the floor for the first time and I must say i was a bit disappointed. I felt like all through the show they just did not know what was going on. I went in with a sore throat and a bad cold and I still jumped around and screamed my lungs out. Although now I probably won't have a voice for MSG, I had an awesome time at Newark.

    Partied in Boston till 3am..... Went to kellys for a
    lobster roll after, then drove to long island at 6am, then took the train to Penn/nj transit(on it right now)...... Needless to say I gave all I had to rock out tonite and the band gave us yet another
    phenominal set/performace!!!!

    The rock is real nice, gotta give it up to Boston for crowd energy but regardless tonite was way more than I expected!

    Anyone see that nasty cat fight on the way out? A large sum of hair got yanked.....WTF was that about

    I wonder what's left for MSG

    Thank u pj

    never dissapoint

    The floor may not have been jumping all night but section 18 sure as hell was! Great energy tonight! Thrilled with the set list. Kept thinking throughout (take note nutjobs) that if you could only see one show, who cares what preceded it, who cares what's to follow, all that matters is the here and now and in the here and now that show kicked my ass. Thanks as always to Pearl Jam for putting on an amazing show. I'm thankful for seeing more than one show this tour, but every now and again it's nice to remember when it was all about the present tense. Peace and see you on Thursday!

    Of the girl and brain of J were a great start. Other highlight for me was Brother. A pity they finished the gig with the same 3 songs as Hartford. An the Newark crowd was no where near the Hartford crowd. I agree with comments about 10c members on the floor. I would also like to thank the 2 skanks in front of us for bitching and moaning about some jacket for the whole show. Take your mullet wigs and stick em where the sun don't shine and don't ever come to a PJ gig again.

    What a great night!
    Incredible set -- finally got Immortality.

    The main set was very strong -- Of the Girl, Alone, Brother, Immortality, Glorified G, Brian of J -- it just kept on coming!

    You Are was the icing on the cake. Jersey Girl was another highlight.
    Very strong show

    That was fucking incredible. End of story.

    Sucks to read that the crowd was bad in some parts, but Section 16 was going nuts, at least where I was.

    Caught Mikey's pick too...

    Great show. #19 since 1996. Loved- Of the Girl, Brain of J, Brother, Go, Inside Job. Have to say this was the best Footsteps, Once, and You Are I've ever seen. I fucking love You Are! Also great off the new album, Amongst the Waves, Unthought Known, and Supersonic (fucking love this song!) and the fucking Fixer! Yeah Yeah Yeah!
    Must say that after all the shit talking of Boston yesterday, I'm dead serious: I'll take Of the Girl, Brother, and Brain of J over Pilate, Bee Girl and Undone any day of the week! So enough of the pissing contest. Could the crowd have been better? Yeah, but I didn't come to see the crowd. I had a great fucking time, off to smoke a little and dream until Thursday. Thanks Pearl Jam! That was great! Now play some fucking Oceans before I lose my fucking mind.
    Thanks,
    Joe

    Just got back from Newark. Was hoping for Alone and Footsteps. Got them both and lotteried for Front row by Mike!!!!! Band seemed to have a great time. Crowd by me was ecstatic most of the show. I liked the set list quite a bit. You are was a great song to do near the end. Slow funky vibe to wind down with. Indifference was a highlight for me as YL is what I usually get. Had Brother in the back of my mind today but did not seriously think it would happen. Drove a 200 Miles in the rain today and it never stopped raining. Ed said our NJ weather today reminded them of Seattle. Poster is Mike and is very cool. Didn't get any Mike picks tonight but still have one from The Spectrum so all is well. Garden on Friday with upper level seat. Going alone.

    Regards, Andrew
