    The crowd was pathetic. People in my section were just looking around for atleast three-quarters of the show. Excellent setlist however.

    Couldn't agree more. No offense to Jersey but I'm glad to be back in NYC. A few of us got a peek at the early setlist and I'm glad they changed it for the better. Alone and Brother were amazing - to look
    at the floor standing there deaf dumb and blind killed me

    Wow! Very interesting to hear about the lame crowd. Section 16 was rocking! Only problem was the inconsiderate jerks who kept running down the aisles which kept provoking visits from security.

    Great show though, and at least in my section, the crowd was good.

    section 8 10c members were rockin for the most part. But the overall crowd was lame. Leave it to Jersey to fuck up a great setlist. Glad I moved from there last month to NYC. MSG!!!! Can't wait.

    This band needs its own Tea Party movement: throw the bums (in the front) out!

    I wasn't going to post anything about this because I didn't want to seem like I was complaining after a GREAT show like that, but I am so glad I was not the only one who felt that way about the crowd.

    I went to the show alone, and the only songs people sang along to (except me) in my area were Evenflow and Alive; the rest of the time, they would stand there and scream at each other at the tops of their lungs or fight with the usher because every one seemed to think they were entitled to move up when someone went to the restroom or to buy beer.

    It really distracted me and took me out of the show, which is unfortunate because the boys ROCKED tonight...

    I am looking forward to listening to the boot...

    Section 1 all the way in the back was into it.

    A few loud and off key drunk girls yelled and screamed everytime Mike and or Stone had any guitar solo work,
    I think it was their first time seeing PJ so you cant really blame them .


    The crowd seemed lost for Alone , Brother, & even Insignificance.
    :o
    I on the other hand, had a blast and cannot wait for the 2 MSG preoductions .

    When Ed makes a comment on how quiet Newark was you know you have issues. Maybe you were tired from Boston show, Maybe it was a Tuesday night and you worked all day.....IDK what ever the reason was....Newark sucked. I have been to tons of PEARL JAM shows and this crowd was by far the worst ever. Unless PJ is playing camden....they should skip NJ for now on.....nothing but swamps anyway. I had dead center row 15 beautiful seats and everyone around me was a joke. I don't think the guy next to me even blinked.....not once. I am not saying go buck wild but sheesh move an arm or something. Ed tried and tried to get the crowd to sing (evenflow, daughter, etc EPIC FAIL)
    IDK maybe I am being to harsh....but with a kickass setlist like tonight you guys really let the boys down.
    Word of advice pearl jam SKIP JERSEY next time.
    Maybe when just bieber or lady GUYGUY strolls in town you guys will show life.
    Jeresy couldn't sell out the stadium
    Half of you were sitting down
    No life on the other half standing up
    SKIP JERSEY
    I don't want to take away from the kickass people who know how to rock out.....some of you were animals.
    Move over JERESEY we will show you how us NEW YORKERS ROCK OUT amateur hour is over.
