if sad means honest
Even remotely.
I certainly think the original poster is a little out of line, but I can see how some may have your opinion. That said, when is this going to happen again? I think that as a consideration, two nights of TOTD is momentous and something to be thankful for.

Id rather hear ed sing pj songs. Its a valid complaint if you dont care for TOTD.
But people had to know there would be a lot of collaboration at this event.

A casual fan may have gotten sick of it by the 4th song. The guy next to me seemed pissed. But i loved it.
Don't forget, they played 2.5 hours night 1 and 3 hours night 2. So even without TOTD, it was over 2 hrs.
And seeing Ed and Chris on Hunger Strike together was awesome. It's their shows. Yeah, they play more covers than I'd like sometimes, but doing what they want is what makes them great.

Soundgarden fans would be just as upset if Eddie showed up and did 4 UKE SONGS at one of their shows.
Hunger Strike fits right in to a PJ set...Reach Down not so much. Say Hello to Heaven.... meh
Seems like night 2 was moving right along just fine then BAM ! Like traffic on the Highway...the crowd vibe slowed to a crawl during reach down.
Wash opening...awesome, Given to fly...crowd nuts, Pilate...I'm nuts, LBC, Habit, then they hit a mega high with Daughter/it's ok (my best moment) and on and on....getting close to blowing my....boom...... and then...Reach Down and I'm limp.
Ironically ...It's the song I'm humming to myself when I wake up this morning
Can you see me now
I am myself
Like you somehow
I'll ride the wave
Where it takes me
I'll hold the pain
Release me
That said... they could've done 2 songs a night and really given the crowd a huge boost and not overstayed the welcome.
Night 1 it felt like they killed the crowd with Reach Down and then got it going again with Hunger Strike.
Night 2 it felt like once CC stayed on stage after Hunger Strike there was a huge collective groan from the crowd.
And Reach Down is TOO long a song to play TWICE. They had two repeats and both were to satisfy CC...
Like I said I was thrilled to see it night 1, but I really wanted last night to be about Pearl Jam.
And what we gave up for the extended ToTD stuff (that was on the setlist but dropped for time):
Night 1 -All Those Yesterdays, Present Tense, I got Shit, Down
Night 2 - Crown of Thorns and the Real Me
i would have trade two CC songs each night for the above stuff in a heartbeat. Call me crazy, but I'd rather have PJ songs than 4 ToTD songs.
for the least they could possibly do
This. . .
As I have said, I can appreciate WHY he was there, but if the history is THAT important to everyone that he needs so much time in the main set, give him his own time slot in the schedule. Don't take away from my pj please!!!!!
And frankly, if Ed hadn't gotten the breather on Night 2, I'm not sure he would have made it to midnight. Dude was hauling balls all night.
Sometimes, I think Pearl Jam fans need to crawl out of their Pearl Jam hole and realize there happens to be other good bands out there. One of them actually includes four current members of Pearl Jam.
