These TO Maple Leafs were escorted right next to our seats. Anyone know who they are:

I can't tell from the photo, but I heard that Gunnarrsson (backwards hat?) and Lupul (shorter guy?) were at the concert. Lupul's a huge PJ fan and I've heard Lashoff is a fan, as well, so he may have been there, too.

My only complaint is that "CENTRE" was spelled wrong on my night 2 poster. Up here in Canada it's "Air Canada Centre" not "Air Canada Center"!

Obviously I am joking. I just thought it was funny that they got it right on the night 1 poster and not the night 2 one. It will make a great conversational piece when I bring guests through my house which is now turning in to a Pearl Jam poster museum. The moose and beaver are hilarious. I wonder if Ottawa or Hamilton will be a Canadian goose. Let's keep the stereotypical Canadiana theme going....eh!

Keep on Rockin'

Still on a high from an amazing few days in T.O. Both nights were complete mind blowing! Throw in a PJ20 movie screening with Neil in attendance and a quick visit from Ed!?

I can honestly say that I feel like I've celebrated with this band and their fans. It felt like a true celebration.

Happy 20th PJ! Thanks for the invite!

No mention of getting to enjoy this celebration with your best friend for her birthday??


I couldn't decide between PJ20 and TO when it was ticket time... went with TO... More than satisfied with m y decision! (and for those that know me, I ALWAYS second guess myself so this is BIG!! )

my other highlight involving these shows was the sportsbar across the street from the Air Canada Centre. Spent most of Sunday watching football real sports bar and grill with their tremendous screens showing all the game.

Following up the previous night was going to be tough, but this was a cracking set. Really enjoyed my stay in Toronoto!

There were some people being ejected by security from the floor near the end. one guy had 3 security people forcibly remove him. Anyone know why? seems abit OTT for smoking (if that's what he was doing). also, some girl got ejected right at the end too and was in tears. :?

With people being ejected..... it's what happens when a little person is given a small amount of power.
I mean it was the end of the show. A foot in the isle!
Security people need to lighten up.........A LOT!
I'm not saying that they shouldn't do their job.
Just don't be an A-HOLE about it.

Before I forget...I really enjoyed myself. I wish I could've experienced Sunday's show.
That was show 14 for me. Seat wise, I've been a lot closer but the angle tonight was sweet.
I got some great pictures on my crappy camera. Not bad considering I didn't think any would turn out.
Ottawa will be number 15 for me & I will be a lot closer to the stage.
Plus the tradition that was broken for T.O.#2 will continue in Ottawa!!!!!!!

When I was walking to the show a bird shit on me. It took me by surprise and I turned to my girlfriend and said, "oh well, I bet they play I got shit (on) tonight." haha. What a great couple of shows. Was only planning on going night 1, but got tickets in the 3rd row on the side stage right next to Mike's dad. What a cool guy. He was taking pictures w/ fans and singing along to the songs.

mike's dad was in quite an interesting section

there was a large sweaty kid almost directly behind dad in a grey tanktop... which got darker gray from the armpits out during the show... from the other side of the arena it didn't look like he knew the words but he loved to raise his arms and scream... oh and sometimes dance like Van Damme


nice to see someone enjoy something so much... from a distance

then a couple of rows back and on the aisle... near where the tunnel was... there was a woman in all black who was dancing all night... it was hypnotizing and i wanted to thank her for also enjoying the show so much

great times in toronto

although i took a video of baba... and as i scanned my section (118) it was pretty dead during the "we're all wasted part"... oh well

Haha, I was in your section and I remember seeing Mike's dad - awesome! And I think I also know what woman you mean

I had more fun in section 118 than in 120 the night before ... Oh I wish I could be there again.

Here's my story from this fantastic night.

Before Alpine, I had only seen PJ 4 times, people always ask, "How can fans see them so many times?" I now know why, more than ever. My friends and I scheduled Alpine, Montreal, both Toronto's and Hamilton. Each and every night they continue to amaze me.

We had 10C tickets last night, my brother won the lottery. FRONT ROW CENTRE! He and I had a quick chat, then decided to give them to my friend and his brother. They got us into Pearl Jam to begin with, it was the least we could do. They've never won the lottery and I knew it was the correct choice. They were reluctant, but we forced it upon them.

From where I was, 109 row 25, (mikes side directly in line with row 1) I still had great seats and I could see my friends rocking out in the front row. Eddie gave them the bottle of wine and they managed to snag a tambourine and a pick, which they gave to my brother and I.

We were definitely rewarded, in large effect, last night. SAD, RATS AND PRESENT TENSE all in one set. WOW. I got choked up during PT. I've wanted to hear that song live for a VERY LONG TIME.

I cannot express the gratitude I feel for this band even existing. I am honestly at a loss. Chloe/Crown, Uncle Neil, the debut of Ole, playing songs that have been on my bucket list.....what an amazing pair of concerts.

Thank you Pearl Jam, thank you 10C, thank you PJ fans! See you in Hamilton!

does the tambourine have skin or blood on it?

you know some psycho would pay a bunch on ebay for a shot at some Ed Blood

OffMeGoes

Holy crap....how funny.....I was in 118 too and wondered if she was in pain because there was a lot of movement, so to speak. More up and down........not to be crude, but you don't see that very often...like the old Dolly Parton joke,...."did you hear how Dolly Parton got two black eyes??" She took up jogging.....

OffMeGoes

118 was great.....only problem was that they released tickets for a few pairs (which allowed me to both get some last minute upgrades and to be surrounded by two mid-aged couples - one kissed and talked all night, and the other one had the lady ask me about 14 songs in how long they would play....when I told her she said, oh, are you really being serious??)

I would GLADLY trade the setlists from the destination for Toronto's!!!!!!!

Hahaha, I never checked. I think it was the second one he threw (the first one over his head, backwards to nobody). So I don't think it was one of the ones with blood on it.

But yea, I'm sure some psycho WOULD pay top dollar for that. But it would mean more to us...

I was the one ejected in tears right at the end... I was so beyond angry!! To be in the fan club for 15 years, attending my 15th Pearl Jam show and to be escorted out by the cops for having a foot in the aisle... ClIfton the security guard is lucky I didn't attack him! I laugh now, since he was such an overzealous, power hungry douchebag that it's kinda funny... But I really don't think I've ever been that angry in my life! Security's job is to keep the crowd safe and controlled, not to be fun nazis! Yes, I was a "repeat offender" but where I'm standing is the last place I'm looking when my focus is on the stage! And really?! The last song?! I'm just thankful that it was the last song and Cornell didn't walk out as I was being escorted out!

Here's to hoping there Ottawa is a bit more relaxed tonight!

Which row were you in? I was in 21 right on the aisle and security was really on a few people ahead of us also on the aisle.
