10 clubbers...beware the lowlife piece of crap that cries that that he is a huge P J fan but cant afford to buy the ticket to get in.

Going to the pre-party at Mckibbins and having an extra ticket, I wrote my name and cell # on the legal pad letting anyone know.
Great party and vibe at the pub. Got a call from "Bill" saying he was interested in the ticket.
I thought ,great, drove in from the hudson valley and will get face value back for my ticket.
After a 1/2 an hour or so...this guy was cryin the blues about having no money. I thought that if it were me in his
position that someone would at least try and help me with the price.
I ended up giving him the ticket after I had a few beers. He headed out about 7 to the show and we agreed all he needed to do was buy the first round when I got there to our seats. I left Mckibbins,(great pub!!!) and was walking with other fans to the arena and was feeling pretty good about myself. I got to my seat and the seat next to me was empty. Didnt really think anything of it...10 minutes before Eddie started some other guy sat next to me that I didnt rocognize. Thought maybe he had wrong seat. Well...come to find out that this guy just bought the ticket 5 min before and "only" paid $120.00 for it. Made me a little crazy!! I have 1 extra for 3 more shows. I will go to the pre-party and probably wont be as giving as I did on wed night!!!

Some people just suck. You do something good and that happens. Wow. I hope some good karma comes your way

Flew from Australia to see this show..... after the 10c stuff up with tics got average seats halfway to the roof halfway back on mikes side............. wish i wpuld have known then cause i would have been more than happy to pay full ticket price :(

Amazing energy, I had great seats (thanks 10C). All around amazing show. Highlights: Last Exit and Insignificance.

And that flag that was thrown up on stage was awesome, too! Anyone know where I can get one of the same?

Great energy in that room, and a time to always remember with my 17 year old son. 2nd PJ show for me, (both opened with Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town, nice) AND first concert EVER for my kid. Absolutely awesome.

Thanks boys!

NOW THIS IS A FUCKING SETLIST.

Don't get me wrong, I loved the Montreal show. I don't regret for one second, driving up from Boston for PJ last week, but I was hoping for something more like this than what we got. I've seen other people killed on this thread for complaining about the 'mediocrity' of their setlist, but I'm right there with them. It's okay to want to hear other stuff than what's 'usually' played at a PJ show. (yes, there were some rarities played on Wednesday, but that set was dominated by their concert mainstays)

Toronto 2 got Deep, Garden, Rats, Present Tense, Baba O'Reilley,In My Tree, Light Years?!?! Go & Animal to start the show? Awesome. Friggin' awesome.

Every live PJ show is a gift to me, and I love them all individually.

But this is the kind of show I'm chasing.

It's OK to chase that kind of show, but I think it is unrealistic to expect it in a city they had not played in six years. I think the band had real concerns about the crowd and the setlist reflected that. But the crowd rocked in the end and so did the show.

Jeanwah

Some people will never be completely satisfied no matter what. :roll: All these complainers regarding the setlists have a pretty sweet and easy life to put so much energy into the band and their set lists.

I thought the Montreal show and its crowd was incredible!

Thank you!! It's already done wonders to making me feel better!

Yes Jeanwah, I have a pretty sweet and easy life because I was hoping for more rarities in the setlist. I hated the show and I will never be satisfied with Pearl Jam or anything else in my life. I'm a piece of shit for having my own opinion, or one that doesn't jive with yours.(did you even read my quote about loving the show?)

This is why this forum sucks, I can't have a dissenting opinion, or even admit I'm jealous of another night's setlist without having some blind PJ apologist making assumptions about how sweet & easy my life must be.

Get off your high horse.

I did see that you loved the show. I was commenting not about just your post but about all the complaints across the board. The last thing I am is a PJ apologist. I just happened to have been in a wheel chair for the last year due to unfortunate circumstances and my perception on the world has changed completely. I'm grateful for everything now, even though I can't do half of what I used to.

Big ups to you for getting out to the show. I have NO idea what that is like to try to live life in a wheelchair as neither I nor anyone I'm close too has been in that situation. I absolutely wish you the best & the fullest recovery possible.

We can argue day & night about what constitutes a standard PJ setlist (if such a thing exists, which some people think it does not), but like I said before, Montreal was loaded w/ concert mainstays for them. I (& I think many other people) were hoping for something different in the tour in the wake of PJ20. And there's nothing wrong with that, that's what this forum is for. I know this happens after every show, not everyone is totally happy with every setlist, whatever.

That being said, opinions are subjective, and everyone is entitled to theirs. No-one's is any more or less valid, regardless of our situations in life.
At the end of the day, I just don't think it's fair to presume anything about where anyone else is coming from. Rolling your eyes is one thing, to suggest peoples' 'sweet & easy lives' is something totally different.

Good luck with your recovery, keep living & loving life.

These are GREAT. Leica glass rules! Mine were taken with Leica lenses adapted on a Sony NEX 5 camera.

I reposted 'cause my photos got lost behind the "the setlist sucked" nonsense.

Obscurity doesn't always traslate into "better". An Arms Aloft where no one raises their arms is kind of pointless.
It sounded to me like a brand new Eddie intro to Porch as well. I was digging the channelled Pete Townshend-y windmill that Ed threw in at the end of it.

Would I have liked to hear a Driven to Tears cover? hell yeah. Did Come Back make up for it? You betcherass it did. The energy in the room from start to curtain call was a-frickin'-mazing. As the offical start of the tour, I thought it ruled.

I'd be into it if they played Riot Act, Pearl Jam, and Backspacer from start to end.
Johnny Guitar gets no love.

JimmyV

Does anyone have or has anyone seen a picture of the setlist? I'm curious if Come Back really was a last minute set change. Sure seemed like it that night.
