My only complaint was they should have left Sweet Lew out.
I just told someone in a PM that maybe they enjoy the hell outta playing Sweet Lew and for all the pleasure we got out of the show last night, Is Sweet Lew too much to give them? Especially seeing Ed with the basketball throughout the song.....I liked the experience of seeing the song live.

Just sitting here reading the boards trying to decompress from seeing 5 shows in 7 days. As it has been stated many times in these pages ... last night was something special, just an amazing experience. We were in Sec 124 row D, Great Section rocking out all night. So many highlights ... just amazing! Big thanks to PJ & the 10c
The crowd makes this show better than Philly 4, as the rarities equaled or surpassed pHILLY 4.
i finally heard HUNGER STRIKE! that at McCready playing guitar walking around behind his head during kick out the jams...sent it over the edge!!!
Let's see Lukin II was the 'BUGS" or maybe it was black, red, and yellow...Push me pull me again...I've seen I'm Open I think all 3 times, I believe Hartford '08, and Chicago I, (correct me if I am wrong). SWEET LEW!!!
I could go on and on, but am bummed this is the end of the tour....I wish I had changed plans and went to newark too....and wishing I was going to Europe...perhaps a fall tour HERE? Canada?

Hey, to each their own. They can enjoy playing it, I just don't care to hear it.

just a little confused as how someone can have a "complaint" about last night...i haven't even fully processed it!

They were great in Newark, but the crowd was the polar opposite. It was unbelievable the difference.

Can't say anything about last night that hasn't already been said - unbelievable experience that I would relive each and every day if given the chance to.
That said, I sat in sec 6, row 3, and the couple next to me in seats 1&2 left halfway through "Courdory" never to return. Granted I enjoyed the luxury of the added space but what the hell were these people thinking? Sometimes I just don't understand people. I don't know how they could have had a 'better' pair of seats or something.
I basically echo everyones comments on here....what a magical night in a magical arena
It was if when Ed was making the setlist for this night, whatever opener he was thinking of, he just said, fuck it, we're starting with Corduroy and starting these mutherfuckers out rockin right away ( excuse the language, but hey, it is what it is).
When the "waves came crashing like a fist to the jaw", well from then on until the last note of RVM, I don't think I could hear myself think.....that was just insane
And that ovation in the pause during Betterman, holy geez !!!!!!!!! I looked up to the sky to make sure the roof didnt come off MSG. Ive been in that building a million times...other PJ shows, a few other concerts, many Knick games, many Ranger games, college hoops..and I have NEVER heard it as loud as it was that point last night.
Section 55....great job rockin out ( except you, girl in front of me who passed out during Got Some, and who might still be sitting there).
And thank you Pearl Jam, for once again, time and time again, never failing to completely amaze me. What a night to end a magical run of shows. See you soon (hopefully !!!)
And now, let the depression begin.

wont let the light escape from me
wont let the darkness swallow me
I rarely go into the fanviews to share my experience.
But last night's show was so EPIC. No other word to describe it.
A DVD would be great, obv.
Im scared to say it, but if they never release a boot or dvd for it... I would understand.
I wouldn't understand. People want it, why don't we deserve it?
Of course everyone deserves to hear it. Shit, I cant WAIT to listen to it again too.
I just can't imagine the boot capturing what happened.
LUKIN II was highlight for me. And there were many highlights.
Your right, a bootleg will never be able to harness the energy from that crowd.
But imagine if it could. That would be really amazing. Maybe technology will catch up one day. I can see myself lying on my bed and feeling like I am in the middle of MSG. I guess we have to find that space in our own mind.

yeah this was pretty amazing. it really was a big "thank you" from the crowd to the band. As if to say, "hold off with the singing for one second while we let you know how much we appropriate you."
Just got back from NYC. It was outstanding. I'll write a full fanview after I get some sleep.

WOW. I finally won the lottery and it was 2nd row dead center. What a night to finally win it. Ill tell you, this run of northeast shows were all great. Seriously some of the best shows ive been too. Im still flying high, but I feel like I am going to crash pretty hard into a post tour depression because I really had just an amazing week. I love this band so much my friends were calling me crazy because some guy offered me $800 dollars for my pair of tickets when he saw I scored 2nd row. I just couldnt find it in myself to sell the things. He started at $500 and went all the way top $800! I dont regret it at all!
And hey, I met a bunch of great people at the pre-party, wish I could remember everyone's name, but I cant, but hello to everyone! It was great meeting all of you. Hopefully we will all see each other sooner than later!!!
Oh, and I finally got Black, red, yellow!!! I have been dying to hear that. One of many highlights. Hunger Strike was sick too!

After the last Spectrum show and the high I felt, I remember saying on the way home "I'm good for awhile. I don't want to have anything compete with the memories I have from these last few shows." I feel that way again today, but maybe even more so.
Agree with what so many of you have already said - magical show. The absolute highlight for me was Hunger Strike. I never even allowed myself to think it might happen, so when that first chord struck ... I was completely overwhelmed and got all choked up. And then to see so many people around me hugging and high fiving after it - feeling exactly what I felt ... so wonderful. I'm getting choked up again thinking about it right now!
Ahhh. Thank you Pearl Jam. Thank you everyone who was there. Memorable night, indeed!

OHHHH Yeah it was
I really fed off you and your pals energy
I still do not know what to write... It might be my favorite concert ever....

:wave: your boy was such a trooper. i was so happy he got unthought known! what a doll. brain is just spinning.
Thursday night was great, Friday night was.......truly indescribable.
I was able to get my hands on a set list from Thursday, but Friday night was the highlight for me by far. I have been to a ton of shows, and I have to say that the 30 seconds during Betterman was as close as a band and it's fans can come to becoming one. Simply a moment of connection, shared respect and love that I will carry with me for the rest of my days.
It is almost 24 hours later and I am still trying to come up with words to explain just how great this show was.
Thank you Pearl Jam, and thank you to the great fans @ MSG I & II.
Did anyone notice at one point when Ed ran to the side of the stage and some dude stared at his ass for like a minute? I thought maybe he ripped his pants from rocking out so hard
Anyone else notice that?
Goddammmit I need a DVD of the entire show NOW!! I want to relive each moment everyday for the rest of my life.
Killer show last night! loved the little tribute (Heaven and Hell) to Ronnie James Dio during Alive. Every show seems to be better than the last! Thank you Pearl Jam!!!!
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

i wish i could go back in time and freeze myself there with that crowd and the best band in the world forever.
