Unreal show, first time at MSG, and WOW! back in NC and I feel like i'm a world away from what happened friday night.
thanks to 10C for the tixs and PJ for the wonderful show. i will never forget this experience. ever.
i forgot to pick up a tour poster, do those usually go up in the goods section soon after a show? will definitely buy the boot of this one!
for all those I met at the garden and in the city, thank you!
Still reeling from Friday night - absolutely phenomenal. Thursday night was awesome in itself, but they definitely topped themselves for night 2. I didn't see this mentioned anywhere, but didn't EV start off the show on Friday (even before Corduroy) by saying, "and away we go..." ? I'm pretty sure he did and I knew we were in for something special. These guys never cease to amaze

Still trying to come up with a decent way of explaining what this weekend was like. Back in '03 after night 1, I remember walking around for a couple of hours afterward almost in a daze. It is similar to that, but it doesn't seem to want to go away. Here I am, with 2 and 1/2 days gone by and I am still soaking in it. Just an incredible experience.
I truly believe that our expectations were so great, and our energy level so high, that it was impossible for this show to be anything but spectacular.
I saw all 4 shows at the Spectrum and this show Friday night. And as amazing as this show was, I still do not think it compares to Philly 3.
I know we're in the SMALL minority, but I have to agree with you %100. Was it a hell of a show? YES it was, and i'm glad i was in the building to enjoy it. Can hardly wait to see them there AGAIN!!!
My dad and me loved this show so much!, wow, Breath, Black, Red and Yellow, Not for u, slow Lukin, the real me, present tense, great version of Alive, was just an awesome show!!!!
And it was our first time in NY, had a really good time, thanks New York!

All those yesterdays

"It's not enough....I need more....nothing seems to satisfy. I don't want it. I just need it. To feel, to BREATHE to know I'm ALIVE"
That lyric from Tool is rather fitting.
My wound is still open from not getting into the building on Friday night, so no Youtube for me yet. It'll come soon.
But the Tool lyrics are absolutely fitting for me... After realizing that my original ticket was fake, I ran outside of MSG in complete and utter desperation and bought another ticket from a scalper. It was also fake. I almost never do stupid shit such as this, and if the situation were different and it was a friend who was running around like that, I would have been standing behind him or her, saying, "Make him show you the ticket. Make him walk up with you. That doesn't look like any ticket I've ever seen." But, no, I made a giant mistake.
As my friend who was with me that night explained, "Everyone has something that they just lose their mind for, do really stupid and extreme things for, without thinking. Drugs, gambling, whatever. Yours is Pearl Jam." So true.

....and the fact that the lyrics contain 2 PJ song titles they played at The Show on top of the meaning of the lyrics was just perfect to me.

i do all of those. pearl jam is the healthiest..i think
i truly believe that friday night is the most fun i've ever had in my life. i just had a few beers so wasn't drunk. just a natural high that i'm still coming down from.
Again... don't think anything will top Closing The Spectrum on Halloween, but this pair of shows kicked, both for their own reasons. As far as MSG2, by the time Better Man came up in Philly4, the crowd was spent... it was over 3 hours at that point, but don't get me wrong... it still was impressive crowd participation. However, in MSG we were INSANE.... holy shit... can't remember ever hearing the crowd in The Garden so loud. That was amazing. And having Why Go be the last song of the first set instead of the opening song (which it was in Philly) was a HUUUUUUUGE difference.... damn they tore that up. So many other highlights... thanks guys!

Only my 2nd PJ show (first was the night before) and all I can say is OH MY GOSH.
What a magical night.
It felt like nothing I've ever felt before- such a rush of emotions.
I can't even believe that was real. Amazing, magical, incredible aren't even accurate enough to describe the sheer awesomeness of this show!
