    The only way not to be jacked about last night's show is if you weren't there. The truth is I think these guys do not put on anything but an amazing concert and whether or not people consider a show great or epic or not great has largely to do with their own frame of reference, ie, where they sat, who they were with, what drugs they took, if their favorite few songs got played, if they need rarities to think a show is good.

    Although I will say I enjoyed last night MUCH more than '08. Much higher energy and a much better flow - there really was never a letdown, nobody sat ever (except the Olsen twins, apparently).

    PJ was great, as they usually are at the garden. The crowd was really good too! I feel bad for those who missed The Black Keys though. They were great, and brought out Ezra Koenig(Vocals, Guitar) and Rostam Batmanglij(Percussion, Keyboard).

    I am sad I cant go back for tonights show...

    Seems a little like Nijmegen in 2007 - on paper, doesn't look so mindblowing (except the # of songs) but in reality, sounds like it was a great show.

    Ok, my thoughts the morning after.

    I had great 10C seats (sec. 121 with 420,000). Crowd was amazing, better than 08, loud, sweaty, rocking.

    Borught a PJ virgin with me, he loved the show, and got to sing "Jeremy", the only song he knows :?

    Someone said they scraped off Got Some... In fact, at the end of "Do The Evolution" Eddie made a clear sign to the others (like: "That's it for the main set"). I guess it's because the energy was so HIGH that they had to pace themselves (and he actually said that as soon as he came out for the following set).

    Unbelievable the amount of stuff that the guys throw from the stage! :D

    Highlights for me were: Sometimes, The End, Unthought Known (that build-up is just AMAZING), Alive.

    Yesterday the Garden was barely shacking, tonight we're gonna break it into pieces :)
    Makes me ache, makes me shake...
    ...is it so wrong to think that love can keep us safe?

    Good show far from epic,crowd was loud.I thought the 08 crowds were louder but this was a good crowd.Loved the sometimes into breakerfall start. Down into I got shit was amazing as well.After the strings went away encore 1 rocked.solat could be played 3 times every show and I'd never get sick of it.This show ranks at about 8-10 of my 15 shows I've been too.can't wait for tomorrow,bring on breathe,no way,tremorchrist,dirtyfrank,and immorality
    This is a fair review... it was a great show, but middle-of-the-road when I try to rank it. Crowd was definitely better in 08... although the setlist in 08 was even more safe than yesterday so I think I'd give the edge to yesterday over the 08 shows.

    1) If you weren't there, you don't really have an opinion in this thread.
    2) show was fantastic start to finish, end of story. Can't wait to go back tonight.
    3) only thing I can say that hasn't already been said is that I was spoiled with my 10c seats in Hartford & Newark and half my non-10c section sat all night. Unbelievable. Looking forward to being with the rest of you animals in the fan seats tonight. Also - my section (132) was an anomaly - seemed like just about the entire place was up and rocking all night.

    I was front row, DEAD center!! MY life? Complete. Thank you ten club!!

    Actually wasn't thrilled with the setlist, I guess to each his own. I also thought the sound was a bit muddled- I couldn't understand a single word Ed said!

    Otherwise a great show and the time of my life! Can't wait for tonight!

    i'm still overwhelmed. thank you so much 10 club for those amazing seats. had front row in section 3, literally right in front of everything. caught so many guitar picks, eddie drank some of my beer, my girlfriend showed mccready and eddie her I am Mine tattoo and eddie tossed her his EV guitar pick. So many memories. My only gripe was the girl in the neckbrace who would not pass the bottle during crazy mary. haha cant complain too much tho. cant wait for tonight!!! :D:D

    I was at Boston and Newark and this show blew them both away. We were in Section 66 right behind the stage and the seats beneath us were shaking pretty much all night. LOTS of energy in the place.

    I was kinda “there” – it was my 14 year old daughter’s (JunjouAmaranth) 1st concert EVER and she went with her dad, mysmallself. I had been looking forward to this for a long time and so has she! I was very excited and very nervous for her! Worried, even. Hahaha.

    I don’t want to be one of these parents who speak for their children and I hope she’ll feel comfortable writing her own review here.

    I had prepared her long before that she wouldn’t be sitting anywhere close to the stage based on her dad’s high 10c # (305, xxx) but we were bummed out when we found out they were on the floor in the very back – section 11, row e. I had kind of expected that they would be in the wing section, expecting them to at least see the “ants” on the stage.

    I asked her to take a picture from their seats before the show in section 11 and it really wasn’t so bad. All was forgotten as soon as the show started! I never got a text message from either her or dad during the show, which was a very, very good sign of them having a great time!

    And they did. My daughter said it was ‘AN AMAZING SHOW!!!!” and that her shoulders hurt!! (Rocking out) I’m glad she loosened up and enjoyed her first concert with Pearl Jam and her dad!!!

    I am glad they opened with Sometimes (her dad’s song)! And good to see my song played for the first time!! Although I gotta warn you here… if you don’t want the interpretation of “Comatose” to be ruined, stop reading the rest of this paragraph!! But that song is forever visually ruined for me – back at Grand Rapids ’06, the ASL interpreter had her own interpretation of that song in American Sign Language– erection. :oops: And that song was played right after my song last night??!! :P Gee, thanks!!! ;)


    Anyway, they had a great time and visiting NYC since Wednesday and even though they’re coming home tomorrow, I don’t think they’ll go see PJ again tonight. Dang, NYC is sooo expensive!!! Time for them to come home!!! I miss them already.

    Enjoy tonight’s show, everybody, and don’t worry too much about your seats – lose yourself in the music! :D

    P.S. Thanks, 10c!!! :D
