    Back in AZ - 9:30 and the show won't escape my heart...my wife asked me what my favorite moment was and to pick one...
    -White Male Arizonian (moving to San Diego in a month :D This state is gettin' it's priorities really messed up)
    -Jeff Ament (Poster, Sweet Lew, Daughter, The Real Me, RVM, etc...)
    -Dio riff during Alive (like Stairway in Seattle)
    -Kick Out The Jams (that late in a show to blow the roof off!!!!)
    -Black Red Yellow??? Hunger Strike???
    -The coming together of the band during Present Tense, literally facing Matt all together in a huddle of one vibe - chilling
    -Betterman - the love and energy unmatched and friggin beautiful...tear inducing, no-lie or cheese

    The whole show, really, will be one giant moment

    As a Knick fan and Ranger fan, seeing the Reed/Leetch respect in that building was heart warming

    Now - I've been reading all these fanviews, posted one way early this morn on my crackberry at LaGuardia...and I gotta tell you - and with all due respect to everyone and their opinion, how can Sweet Lew be called a waste???? I understand personal taste, but to see Ed havin' that much fun, Jeff bustin' it so great and Stones chops on the bass??? Wow - I can't believe the hate and "waste" talk - mind blowing... :(

    Anyway - unreal night. Proud to be a fan and so thankful for these guys...A night to remember forever...

    This fan community rocks, you guys really do.

    Holy s... I was jumping, screaming and honestly didn't really listen to the riff!!!! :( :( :( :(

    I'll have to wait until the bootleg comes out! But glad they paid tribute to him, Dio was an awesome musician, he will be missed... probably now jumping over rainbows, illuminating the metal scene.

    Hit a guy in the head while bopping around yesterday, and when I said sorry he gave me this look like I was crazy for apologizing. Pretty much sums up my thoughts on how awesome the crowd was into the show.

    WOW & EPIC are the two words I would use to describe the Show. Thank you PJ for an AMAZING night. The Set list was blistering. The Garden was Rocking...LITERALLY! And HUNGERSTRIKE Ben Bridwell you Rock! Sometimes you get a perfect storm at a show...the right Band, the right Set List, and the Right Venue. Pearl Jam has "caught a bolt of lightning" twice for me in less than a Year; closing out the Spectrum in Philly on Halloween Night, and Closing out this Tour in MSG.

    I've seen Hartford, Newark and both MSGs...
    1. MSG2 - best PJ concert I've been to in US (and I've seen Philly 4) - I heard bad things about sound at MSG... WTF?? This arena sounds great. The crowd energy was unbelievable for the WHOLE night
    2. Hartford/MSG1 - can't decide, both were awesome.
    3. Newark - loved the band's performance and the set list, sound was really bad in my sector though and the crowd was sleepy

    Looking forward to London, Berlin and Gdynia in June/July. I think I got addicted to PJ shows.

    Epic- Wow!!! Another Epic show!!! I've been to 90 shows and this was by far the best!!! WAY better than last night or PJ in early 90's!! Just kidding, every show seems to be epic if you were there, it just gets too funny, but great emotion- as long as PJ keeps rocking and fans enjoy- everyone will have thier own personal "epic" show.

    Had a great tiem, but did anyone else suffer sound mixing issues? In my section, 204, either the acoustics or the sound mix were way off and the vocals were inconsistent. The nice couple in the row in front of me agreed that the vocals sounded drowned out. Didn't know if it was our section of others had similar issues. None the less, incredible show.
    you are right
    the sound was distorted and a bit muffled compared to some of the other venues

    no problems in the floor (Section 10) but a friend in 222 said the same thing...

    We were in section 84 and experienced the same exact problem. I was surprised to read all glowing comments here about the sound quality.

    Consider this an observation and not a complaint. The show was completely wonderful.

    Went to Newark and got front row via lottery. Sat in section 345 at MSG II. Both shows were special.
    Newark had some songs I was really pining for (Alone, Brother, Footsteps and Indifference).

    MSG II had a once in a lifetime vibe plus Hunger Strike. I really felt a communal karma floating around
    in MSG. Same seats that I had back in 77 at my first concert which was Pink Floyd for the Animals tour when I was 14. About my 25th PJ show. This concert was one big group hug. I went alone and felt like I was part of something sacred. Lots of loners around me which speaks to how much we wanted to be there.

    Pearl Jam is one of the things that is right in this world. I feel honored to have been there.

    Thanks Pearl Jam, Andrew

    I'm still wired from Friday night... what an epic show

    Who's got some quality videos? I'd be more then happy to help host the raw files for anyone - got plenty of speed and space!

    And how long do you think we'll have to wait before a bootleg/dvd is out?

    I was at Hartford and both MSG shows (MSG2 #16 overall) on this tour and these guys just keep raising the bar. However, MSG2 takes every cake there is. The crowd was incredible and really set the tone right from when the band walked out. The energy of it being night 2 and the last show of the tour was on display.

    The set was incredible and came out hitting hard. Corduroy --> Breath was unreal and the crowd was just shear mayhem by the time they played Nothingman. The crowd singing in Nothingman was just like Hartford just louder (as Ed referenced the show right before starting)! The set never let down and other highlights were definitely Present Tense, Not for You, Rats and Daughter. Why go killed as the set end.

    Didn't love the beginning of the 5/20 encore and when they started the same way tonight I was a little worried until they fuckin bust out Lukin acoustic!! WTF??? Awesome! Had some fun in the rest of the 1st encore. Given to Fly was incredible...crazy crowd singing! 2nd encore was sick and clinched this as the best show I've ever seen. Better Man singalong rivaled MSG in 03. Black was nuts with the "We Belong Together" on the outro. Hunger Strike...nothing to say about it other than THANK YOU!

    Incredible show...best I've ever seen. I'd say best I'll ever see, but I know they will just fuck that up again and I can't wait! Please make this a DVD Set!!!!!!

    I thought nothing would top philly 3 and 4 but Friday night was almost the perfect Pearl Jam show. The crowd won't be topped anywhere, the set had so many highlights with the real me and kick out the jams kicking my ass. They made MSG into a small club for a night. what more can you say about PJ at MSG.
    I'm just flying around the other side of the world to say I love you

    Sha la la la i'm in love with a jersey girl

    I love you forever and forever :)

    This was the only show I was able to see due to the problem getting tickets through the 10c. I was not disappointed. I have seen them 15+ times and this by far was the most explosive, mind altering Pearl Jam show I have ever seen. Corduroy brought the crowd to its feet and it never stopped. When they played Hunger Strike, I almost lost it. It was the first time I have ever seen that live and boy, was it worth the wait. Thanks to the 10c and to Eddie and the the rest of Pearl Jam. Last night was I show I will never forget. I can't wait for the bootleg.
