The Mansfield shows are gonna kick MSG in the ass...

I'm not biased in any way since I always see Pearl Jam in Toronto (which goes apeshit, btw) But i'd have to say that atmosphere wise, it would be tough to beat MSG, just because its MSG. Setlist wise, i'm gonna say that Mansfield will be better because they are the last 2 shows, spread out over 2 nights and for some reason, PJ fucking loves Boston. Soooo... bring it on PJ!

comparing shows is weak
every show is its own entity so why dont you just let it be and enjoy each moment

I was at columbia, 2 fla shows and now 2 msg and each show was a diff. lasting memory and even if I go to mansfield I could care less wether it is gonna be up to par or better than the last one

how was Columbia? if I had the chance, I'd go see them every tour at the most out of the way spot. A place with the least fan clubbers, where a 206xxx could get you pretty close. 2 nights at MSG was great, but I like the off the beaten path shows too.

There's always a sleeper show in every tour where it takes place ina city nobody is expecting but at least from a setlist perspective the show looks incredible - sometimes that even winds up where the band is also just totally on - like in Grand Rapids. Maybe that also happened in Columbia this time around, but I will say that pretty much everyone on this board seemed to think Hartford was one of the shorter and perhaps less inspired shows in 06, maybe because it was cold out. So Hartford could be due a great show tonight. Then again, it is sandwiched between 2 of their absolute favorite cities to play and there's gotta be some post-MSG letdown.

As for which shows are better, come on people. You've all listened to 200 bootlegs like I have and for the most part the boys are so tight on everything they're doing it all boils down to people's personal preferences on a setlist and the energy in the building. For me, I look at the MSG I setlist and still can't believe how lucky I was to be there. Someone else might think it's pedestrian because they wanted to see them pull out Bee Girl (sometimes I think when your expectations are that high you've been to too many shows). But every show is a great show. These guys love playing, and tour infrequently enough but have been doing it long enough to really cherish every time they're out there. They totally play each show as though it's their last.

Shackles wins the tiucket lottery - we are first row on the railing in front of Mikey.
Mikey threw me a pic and was laughing at us all show long.
Great interaction.
Went To Both MSGs.
These Shows were Legendary.
They will both go down in history as some of the most energetic shows to date.
The place was electric and kinetic all in one.
Going to Both Mansfields

Lets see if these Boston area shows are what they are cracked up to be.
If the highlight of these shows involves bringing up Theo Epstein up onstage to jam along for even flow, then so be it. :rolleyes: They will have to do something else to top Ace Frehely and CJ Ramone in The Worlds Most Famous Arena & The "Lets Go Rangers"..... chants that filled the Garden .......



we'll see if these shows are any better then MSG / NYC shows , or Philly for that matter.

i would not be to proud of a chant for the lamest major sport on the planet. chant away

U R A Crazy Breed

fuck Ace Frehely fuck CJ Ramone and fuck the Rangers that took away from the show if anything!!

i love the red sox but i don't want to see Theo's ass up there either!!
