I dont think these shows can be prices
It was gonna cost nearly 10000 to come from aus and I assure you if I could have come up with the cash I'd have been there
And it would have been worth each and every cent
If you think you paid too much, in my opinion, you shouldn't have been there
makes much more sense to live in the present tense

yeah, the problem is that there is a disproportionate amount of people thinking they paid too much. That's the issue.
No
There's a disproportionate amount of people bitching about the sets and that totd shouldn't have played and wha wha wha
Sets were amazing.
That's all there is to it.
And if people are Unhappy with it they gotta ask if they truly belonged at the shows
Yeah, what you said in your first sentence. "There's a disproportionate amount of people bitching.'' I've never seen this level of people unhappy with the PJ experience. And that's a problem.
Anytime pearl jam play anywhere in the world there are ways threads about how they thought it wasn't good enough. Or it wasnt fair
Or they think they deserved more.
It's bullshit and I'm sick of it
This is a place for pearl jam fans
Not bitchy whinging cause people don't get what they wanted.

Hey, I love them, but doesn't mean I have to drink the Kool-aid. It just wasn't that great.

No. You are lying. There are two members bitching on this thread, and it's pretty much the same on the today's fanviews thread.

A very few people are bitching. See the fanview thread from today. This poster is puting false statements out there, no need to repeat them as if they were facts.
No doubt this was an expensive trip for those that made it
No doubt the rain hampered night 1
No doubt special guests mean less pearl jam
No doubt the enjoyment of a particular setlist is completely subjective
No doubt you can look at a setlist on paper and say meh or oh man that looks great
I am not particularly impressed by the setlists and I am not a huge fan of TOTD, but I get it.
That being said, Pearl Jam shows dont suck. Ever.
I wish I was there to share the celebration.
straight up
this is an anger post. so dont correct me on grammer or spelling cause i know its shit
too all those people hating on the PJ20 shows.... stop
the shows sets were amazing
whenever you see pearl jam live its amazing
id have sold my boyfriends anal virginity for tickets, airfares and accomodation (sorry joel, you know i love ya)
but seriously
you will never EVER go to a show and get every single song you wanna hear
but you went and i have no doubt eds voice was in fine form and the boys were playing their guts out
so please, for the sake of those on the other side of the world who would have loved the privledge to go but couldnt afford it
just stop.
it absolutely blows my mind that people are complaining about the songs that were played. never, even if i didn't really like the song, have i bitched about "having" to sit through pearl jam play a song. live. esepcially at a once in a lifetime event.
i'm not sure what people expected, but i think anyone could have told you(complainers) this was not going to be a regular show; a retrospective of the history of pearl jam-and that's exactly what you were given. i, too, was watching and listening on some crappy live feed (thanks gary!!) but i was grateful to have it. do i really love chris cornell, pilate and arms aloft? no. no i don't. but, i was happy to hear them and, had i been there, i would have added them to the list of rare songs heard live and had another beer.
pearl jam does not exist to please you. next time an event like this happens, send me your cash and i'll go in your place. i know i certainly would've appreciated the live experience more than you, given i appreciated it more than you just watching it on my laptop.
anyone not loving those set lists are mad in the head. They looked amazing to me.
Would have loved to have been there. The fact people who were are unhappy is crazy to me
What do people want these days? They were great sets, unpredictable and so so varied. PJ fans are spoilt rotton - go see a few U2 shows and you will see what I mean.
But i always thought these shows were unfairly overhyped even what someone over hyping would over hype them. That was something the band didnt manufacture and could never have a chance of living up to unless they were still playing now.
I for one wish i had gone, it wasnt possible but i do know if I had, i would be returning home very very very happy.
I also think pearl jam and ten club and their management deserve huge respect for putting this thing on so well...from what i heard it was a superbly ran event and worthy of the occasion....even the little details were there...nice work to all involved.

Is that why you stopped talking to me! Hahahahaha
Hahahahha
Nooooo.
You weren't hating
I stopped talking to you cause regurgitator came on stage
And if I recall... I sent last text :P
makes much more sense to live in the present tense
Hey...I was at the Philly 4 and people wanted more at that Spectrum closing..
GIVE ME A BREAK PEOPLE
That was one of the most amazing weeks ever of a Tour in my life...
Take it for what you want and let those who bitch be bitches
Wish I could have been at Alpine Valley....it is what it is....
Hope those who went had fun!!!!
Not hearing a lot of people report back good things.
Seems to me your one of a small few who have been bicthing. (on every thread you can). Didn't your mom tell you that if you don't have anything nice to say then SHUT THE FUCK UP! Hopefully she'll come down to the basement and take away your computer privileges !!!!
i think most people don't understand the meaning of pj20 and that's why got upset.
pj20 was not "let's play your favorite songs."
pj20 was not "let's play the rarest songs"
pj20 was not "let's play only what this guy wants to hear"
pj20 was not "let's play for 45 hours straight so everyone will be happy"
PJ20 was a celebration of being together for 20 years which ed has stated should be easy but isn't and it's lucky they got to be around for the good years.
PJ20 was about pearl jam still rocking, still enjoying what they do, still making amazing music.
PJ20, like it or not, was not about YOU, it was about THEM! it was more like, they were throwing a party with their closest friends and with the people that mean the most to them and allowing us to participate.
it's an immense thing, being able to make it to 20 years without a break up or anything else that other bands go through. it was about seeing where they came from, seeing what started it all, seeing how much they've changed and grown as a band and as individuals, and thanking the people who got them to that point, whether it be the fans, their wives/girlfriends, brendan o'brien, the supporting bands, or each other. it wasn't about us. it was about them. and people need to get over it and celebrate.
haters be hatin indeed....
thanks for clearing that up, dont know what i would have done if you didnt explain that to me.

I agree with everything you put here Paul. Gutted I couldn't go but definitely if I had of been there I would have been bouncing out of Alpine after those two shows!

i must admit
ive not taken notice of whos been bitching
maybe ive just read same people bitching all over the place?
makes much more sense to live in the present tense
The crowd was electric all night. The band was clearly having a great time. The place shook during spin the black circle, alive, etc. The band didn't want to stop. What more can I say? Incredible night and the highest energy show I've been lucky enough to attend.
Thanks

I know how grateful I am to live in the midwest and attend both these shows. For this reason I want to reach out and hug all of you who couldn't make it. I'm very sorry. Hugs, love, and peace to all of my brothers and sisters who couldn't make it.
Lots if us aren't fans of totd and came to see and hear eddie sing. Lots of fans here were pretty disappointed. Including some that came from europe. The totd sets just sucked the life out of the shows...everyone around me both nights sat down for them w the exception of hungry strike.
From where I was, The temple of the the dog songs sounded AMAZING and it was the first time I heard them, in fact.
I loved it. But on night 1 by the 3rd TOTD song (and knowing Hunger Strike must be coming),I figured some people must be getting sick of Ed not even being at the front of the stage for three straight songs. I loved it, but people have the right to have not loved it...

Sometimes, you just gotta appreciate history, ya know? The Temple stuff was just a touching moment to behold, and, as Ed said, something we might not see again. Ever.
All in all, PJ played for 5 1/2 hours this weekend. That's still a lot of Ed singing PJ songs.
everybody wants the most they can possibly get

I just wish people would, even if they didn't like from start to finish, state their highlights
Every positive story is a great read for people who never went
Your highlight becomes part of a bigger picture
