I have been to my fair share of PJ shows and Newark was by far the worst/quietest crowd I have ever seen. But I thought the setlist was great and the sound in that arena was really good.

I was at the Newark show, and it was, SURPRISINGLY, a quiet crowd. But, i thought the Bristow Va. crowd was quieter. Though, neither had a affect on my concert experience.

yeah I didnt do Bristow. and maybe I am spoiled being the northeast and am use to loud crowds but Newark was oddly quiet.

I haven't heard the boot yet but i was there and the crowd was certainly quiet; To the point where Ed said something about it. The band obviosly felt the energy or lack thereof. That being said, it didnt ruin the show at all for me and it shouldn't for anyone. The setlist was incredible and the sound in the arena was perfect. Can't wait the boot to arrive.

I enjoyed the hell out of this show. And i'm with you, it didn't ruin the show for me. I listened to the Boot this morning, and i enjoyed the show...... AGAIN!!

agreed. not sure why there is so much intense hatred towards the crowd. Was the crowd as strong as the MSG show? of course not. And im going to guess that Boston and a few other shows had more energy. People sit at every show- -including at all four MSG shows ive attended. And people in my section this year at MSG left early and screwed around on the blackberries and even a few Ipads. People act as if everyone sat at Newark and barely made any noise, which simply isnt close to the truth. Remember - the 10c seats were sold out, so in theory, there should have been a lot of energy on the floor and the sides, which is how it looked to me (my section on the sides never sat down and was pretty loud). And all of this talk about songs being dropped because Eddie was pissed at the crowd is just speculation -- no one on this board, unless they have a link to the band, can say why those songs were dropped.

From the Seattle 2009 crowd - we feel your pain about getting dumped on about being a shit crowd.

At least Vedder didn't call you guys out the next night as being a "shit crowd" as he did to Seattle. It felt pretty crumby to have had him do that too.

he just said something quick at first encore..something like "a lil quiet out here.i understand. this is how you're gonna be jersey"

which sparked the crowd

Agreed and from what I saw of the setlist at the end, nothing was dropped... songs were swapped out. There's a difference.
