Show was awesome. My legs hurt so good. I could feel the floor shake (and contributed to it). I miss you already. Couldn't see much as I'm not super tall, and at the back of the floor (section 8 toward the back of it), but former ballet dancer legs/feet held me up on tip-toe most of the night, and it was an honor to finally make it to the floor of the garden; have worked my way down since 03 when I was in nosebleed. One of the highest energy shows ever. Its my church and this was a particularly good service! Pearl Jam ALWAYS brings it. Always. This was show no. 34 for me, and have never been let down yet. Ben Bridwell did a great job with Chris Cornell's part of Hunger Strike (finally got to hear it!), slow Lukin, The Real Me,.... Thank you Pearl Jam.

edit - I almost forgot - I'd been hoping (and thought they might) that they would do Breath (and Leash) kind of bringing it full circle with the song campaigns, so it was pretty cool that they did play it.

Exactly what happened at my first show at MSG I in 2008.
There's no turning back now, you're one of us

What an incredible show, proving again that Pearl Jam is the greatest band around right now. For me the highlights are Slow Lukin. It took a a few words into the first verse for me to get it and than I was blown away. How many times have we heard that song jammed out at a 100 miles an hour to slow it down was just brilliant . Betterman what can i say. The crowd was incredible the pause and ovation after the first verse was very emotional and you can see it on Ed as he stand there soaking it all in. Black Hunger Strike and Alive. I thought the set list was great , the show started with a rocker Corduroy and then they just tore it up ! Great night and another fantastic night at MSG. I really think the band recognizes that fans come from all over the country and the world to be a part of these shows,more than any other venue and that creates a crowd like no other. Can't wait for what lies ahead. Stay well we miss you guys already !! Pearl Jam we love you.

45th show on Friday...Has to rank right up there with New Orleans 95 Randalls island 96, Penn St in 03 and Halloween in Philly last year.
The crowd was just insane. Makes me proud to be a local and see the love and passion.

Thanks for another great tour. This is one me and my buddys will talk about for a long long time..

Just got back to the UK and I'm still buzzing! Way better than night 1 (which was amazing too!) and probably the best of the 12 PJ gigs I've been to.

Finally got to hear YL w/ the Star Spangled Banner (a treat for me!)

That lyric from Tool is rather fitting.

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

absolutely amazing!
