I was up about 7 or 8 rows from the very back but behind the stage (sect 415). During the last half of Betterman, the floor was vibrating/earthquaking a good 3 inches up and down. The intense connection between the band and the crowd during the whole show but Betterman in particular was so amazing. We had the whole building shaking. I've heard Eddie speak about the stage shaking at MSG before. But was this going on all around the whole building? or just in the upper rows? Everyone around me was freakin rocking out but looking around at everyone else looking all wide eyed with this HOLY SHIIIIITTTT :shock: look on there face. Coolest thing ever!!! What a SHOW

    We noticed it the first time during Present Tense in section 211 and many times after that. Betterman was huge!

    No just Newark and MSG2, but I can't complain - they were both incredible shows. I've had an awesome Pearl Jam year and seem many songs for the first time ever. Seeing PJ at MSG is one of the highlights of all time.

    Brought a casual fan to MSG1 and she was like WTF about the place shaking. She felt it and was mildly concerned.

    i was on the floor dead center about 30 rows back and felt it multiple times. i thought i was imagining it at first. i knew the stage could shake, but didn't think i would feel anything on the floor. it kept happening and i realized what was going on...unbelievable!

    Right by the stage on Mike's side (section 64), felt almost every song on Friday night. Kinda felt a little rumbling during Thursday night's show in section 310.

    Have felt it many times at MSG at Pearl Jam shows, at least since 2003. Don't remember whether the place shook in 1998...may have during Alive the second night.
