    I have been to many, many two-night stands in the same venue from Chicago, to East Rutherford, NJ to Camden, NJ and even the Borgata shows. And I can assure you that this has been without a doubt the best two-night stand in a single venue. They wrapped up the US Tour in style giving us our favorites and a TON or rarities.
    And yes, the crowd was LOUD! Only Spectrum Night 3 was louder in my opinion. I have being going to shows since 1995 and they consistently deliver new exciting experiences. I waited all this time, 40+ shows to get HUNGER STRIKE!!!! Are you kidding me?! Sounded amazing. Thanks guys!

    Oh.. and SLOW Lukin with the strings... just amazing!

    This is the boot to get folks…

    I agree with Leash Me, I've been to all the "two night" shows Leash has been to and these past two shows were just incredible, up there with anything Pearl Jam has done. Vedder had some phenomenal lines and tonight's show in particular was the 2nd best Pearl Jam show I have ever been to.(MSG II in '98 is the only better one) I can't believe 12 years later, Pearl Jam can make me feel like I did when I was 25.

    Every song killed, the crowd was amazing, I really don't want to hear anyone post in here the crowd wasn't anything but energetic and enthusiastic the entire show. I love the rarities, but tonight's Nothingman singalong was just, ahhhh, I can't even come up with words. It was majestic, spiritual, and inspiring. So many people on the same page, with the same vibe, that feeling is like nothing else in the world.

    Get this boot, get this video, get whatever, it will be worth it.

    Highlights were the aforementioned Nothingman, Hunger Strike, Present Tense, Breath, I'm Open/Unthought Known to Zinn, Push Me, Pull Me, Black Red Yellow, and Given to Fly.

    Best crowd I've ever seen. I am up at close to 40 shows and this may be the best one I've been to. The pause during Better Man when the crowd just erupted for what seemed like forever was a real highlight. Sweet Lew, cmonnnnn... In the Willis Reed jersey. Awesome. I can't say enough about the crowd though. We were in Section 2 Row T and had a perfect view for everything. Ed was holding long notes... They knew this was going to be a great one. Hunger Strike with Ben from BOH... So happy the late comers got to hear him... BOH will shortly be filling bigger venues on their own. If you missed them, shame on you. Back to PJ though... NO EVEN FLOW!!! And it just gets better... Definitely a conscious omission by the band. This was such a great show... Push Me Pull Me played for like the 7th time??? Come onnnn now! This is a best show ever nominee lol

    Mary Kate and Ashley, Mark Sanchez, John McEnroe and Michael Moore all rocking on the right wing also...

    Wish there was a MSG III to get ready for tomorrow... :-(

    I've been a member of the 10C since 1994. That was truly an incredible show. One of the best shows I've ever seen them perform. Last night was very good but this blew that away.

    The version of Black was unbelievable. And did anyone else think it looked like Ed wiped away tears, overwhelmed by the crowd response during Betterman? He certainly had to compose himself.

    This show had everything. Major rarities, incredible performances of standards, an amazing crowd, an equally amazing vibe. Just tremendous.

    The best show I saw on the tour. I saw all the CA shows last October and the 4th LA show was great too but it's hard to compare a show being played at Universal to the Garden. The Garden is a magical place that brings out the best in all performers and you certainly will never get a crowd like that in LA (I live in LA so this isn't bias, it's just fact).

    Also bearing witness that this was among the great shows ever. Yes motherfucking epic! And yes holy fucking shit is right!

    It was relentless energy. The crowd was so dense and animated the whle way through! Better than the philly crowds from october (I was at night 1 and 4). EVERYONE was UP! It was how it should be. Unleashed!

    The band. On fire! FiRE!!!! Stoneks soloing was amazing tonight. Matt cameron amazing, the drum solo break in rvm was great, I can't say enough about. How good every version was.

    Your minds will be BLOWN by the SLOW lukin! You will revel in the insane ending of black. You will rejoice during one of the loudest crowds ever during given to fly, and maybe the loudest moment during a beautiful break in betterman. HUNGERSTRIKE was BEZERK!!!!!!

    Too many highlights! Nonstop! I could write a book about this show-hence it is epic!

    Amazing show... as good as MSG 2 in 98 - that good.

    Hunger Strike was the highlight for me... the dude from Band of Horses nailed the Cornell parts. Absolutely amazing version.

    Oh my fucking god. Unbelievable. I can't believe I got Black (never heard it live before) and HUNGER STRIKE!! I would kill to get a recording of the entire show. Any chance of a DVD? I guess I didn't see any recording devices so I'm thinking no but a girl can hope. That would make my year!! Can't wait till the boot. YEAH!!
