The last Supersuckers song had a special guest. Some guy in a silver suit with a wrestling mask on came out to sing with them and had the rest of the crowd standing for their finale. Some guessed it was Eddie. Some guessed it was Nicolas Cage. I think it was Tom Petty.

Not likely Petty. He had a gig at The Gorge last night.

I loved both the Gorge and Vancouver! At the Gorge I finally got to be dead centre (8th row) in front of Eddie and for the first time I was on Mike's side (5th row) in Vancouver. I thought the band and the crowd were amazing on both nights. Love doing the road trips to see the band and new places. Thank you, thank you, thank you 10C. A great way to end the summer.

ok I gotta ask...what was the merch like?? Anything cool??
Any Baby T's? or programs?
Just wanna know how much I can expect to plow at the merch stand in Kitchener lol

Ohh ya did Eddie do a preset? I hear he came on with the supersuckers, which is cool.

Despite the horrible traffic coming up from Seattle, I just have one thing to say: I love Canada.

So many times you go to events where the sound level is high because they pump music the whole time (Sonics anyone?). But the crowd in Vancouver was - believe it or not - louder than the band. It was incredible.

I was disappointed at first in my 10-club seats - 20 rows up on Mike's side. But I was wrong, it was a great spot. My son and I couldn't believe the energy level a first, something that wasn't recreated later in the concert except for Evolution. Or perhaps it was me that was tired, when they played Porch I could hardly move.

Thanks 10 Club and thanks Pearl Jam; memories of two great shows that I'll always be able to share with my son.

Loved the setlist, maybe a little generic but that was fine and I loved hearing Evenflow, but going in I thought, do I really need to hear Alive? And no s***, last night it blew off the top of my head, they're still picking it off the roof of GM Place.
Never really liked Bee Girl until last night, it was lovely and the way Eddie did it was like so touching. And sweet.
My number (so sad) is 338XXX and our seats were not on the floor, but three rows up maybe 20 rows from the stage and they were great seats. We met a guy in the airport today whose number was like 220XXX and he was on the floor but pretty far back and said he would have rather been up higher. Go figure. We sat with great great people who'd been to the Gorge and told us all about it (Low Light at sunset sounds like it was incredible), and everybody around us was singing and dancing and I can barely talk today, I am so hoarse.
Pearl Jam fans are the BEST.
The show last night was awesome.

I just listened to some of the bootleg and they changed a couple words on "Given to Fly" as well.

I had such an awesome time, it was so much fun. It was my first time seeing PJ in concert after looking forward to it for soo long, and I was not at all disappointed. The people were great, everyone was just so friendly and kind. And what noise!! Holy smokes!

To the two dudes from L.A. that I met- how exactly WERE you able to predict the first five songs of the show... did ya steal a setlist or something?

And Mike McCready... the man is magic. Some of the guitar wizardry was fabulous. He was so full of energy and so enthusiastic, he really kept the crowd roaring louder and louder. And he just went NUTS on DTE... gotta love it. Also, the solo he played behind his head... wow haha. Nothing like a little showmanship!

I had a great time, thank you Pearl Jam

P.S. nice beard Stone

I was at the Pearl Jam show in 03 and this one was much better. I have been to around 15 concerts, and last nights show was the best concert I have ever been to. The crowd was loud and totally into it. Eddie had a lot of energy and was dancing around like he did when he was younger, which I thought was awesome, and the band was amazing.

I didnt think the set was generic. They played all their old, good stuff which is what I wanted to hear. I am so happy they played Black this time. That is my favourite song. The only song I wished they had played was Jeremy. But oh well, the show was still sooo amazing. Hopefully they will play it next time they come here.

Peal Jam, keep on rockin'

I loved the toast. The coolest part was the crowds vibrations welcoming the little one. Vancouver loves you, come back soon.

I totally loved it!!! I thought the whole night was perfect minus a couple things. I wanted to hear from others that went and get their thoughts i am also interested in knowing if it is going to be like this for the rest of the Tour or if it's just Vancouver.

Super Anal Security - I was on the floor and right by an aisle and security all night kept pushing me and my friends back into our seats even if we were just in the aisle. Even during the last song they kepty walking up and down the aisle telling us to keep it clear and to be in our seats. Correct if i am wrong but I was at a PEARL JAM concert....not the symphony.

No Beer - Doors opened at 630 and the show started at 730 with Pearl Jam getting on stage at 9 o'clock. So what time do you think they stopped serving beer??? Anyone....Anyone?? 9 O'CLOCK!!! What's with that, I have never been to a concert where they have shut down beer sales just as the opening band takes the stage.

$11.40 for 3 Waters - Since you could not buy beer after 9 my buddy decided to buy water. Bottled water was sold...but NOT allowed into the concert even though it was PLASTIC bottles. So he had to buy water in PLASTIC cups and for 3 water they charged him $11.40...

Those are my 3 complaints about the concert last night...just wanted to see if anyone else thought that part was lame that was there last night. I would love to hear from people who go the other shows if they had the same problems or if its just Vancouver and if the city really is becoming the "No Fun City"

I was the guy dancing around towards the left of the floor. Oh god it was such a great concert. Being the hefty underage drinker I was I had a great time and Oasis is going to have to be damn good on thursday to compete.

Release was amazing, Better man, Daughter, Even Flow. ALIVE was the best song of the night. Plus Ledbetter and teenage wasteland were great.

I thought you pearl jam fans were going to be beardie lamo's but you were all great and i had a sweet time dancing on the floor with all the girls.

All Encompassing Sip

The most bittersweet thing about the show is the realization that it'll be a while before the guys roll through town again. I almost jumped in my car to drive to Calgary - it was that good.
What a show - 4th time I've seen PJ and it was the best of the lot. Eddie and Mike had crazy energy and intensity and the crowd was soooo into this show. I got great 10c seats (so much better than the last time - love the new seating policy). The band was into this show, the crowd sang along to every song and maybe 3 people sat in their seats in sold-out house.
The guys next to me were from Boston (one of them was seeing PJ for the 7th time and he said this was the BEST show he'd seen them do).
This was one of those concerts you remember... we've all been to those that are forgotten as soon as we get in our cars to go home... I left the show with no voice, completely and utterly euphoric - theres so much crap music in the mainstream and then you see PJ and the world is great again...

Hello Wolfgang.

long live PJ.

Waiting To Inhale

That was my 4th PJ show....saw Boise 2000 and Missoula 2003/Vancouver2003 (I actually picked up the hitchhikers mentioned in that show) and I thought that last nights show was the best I've seen. Sure the setlist didn't have alot of surprise (Bee Girl and some others not withstanding) but the sheer intensity and passion of the band and the crowd definately made the show amazing. I will see you all in Calgary, Edmonton and Saskatoon!!!

That show was ANYTHING but generic!!

I had a blast, and the GLITTER TWINS were there w/our Stoney signs side-by-side, giving the man some love b/c he doesn't get enough of it!

The energy of the crowd that night was spectacular!:) I noticed from setting at row 24, the band was DEFINITELY feeling it! Everyone in our row was cool. We sat next to Prism and her friend, which was so cool! Seeing and meeting PJ family members definitely made my whole entire trip...thanks guys for all the love you guys bring:)

Onto the show...How could anyone argue w/RELEASE as the opener?! I mean, they hardly pull this song out :eek: This was VERY intense, as everyone was in shock by it.

And how could you NOT deny Stone's solos at that show?! PORCH?! DTE?! He was totally rockin' out. I screamed so much for him that my voice got scratched and left me in dire need of water We held up our signs throughout the show, at one point, he smiled at us for a while and waved good-bye to us at the end:) I love it when Stoney is feeling the energy of the crowd

Sadly, this and the Gorge are the only shows that I am going to, since I am poor and can't afford to take anymore time way from work. :( But, I can't wait for the US 2006...which I am looking forward to hanging out w/family

Thanks PJ for an AWESOME show and leaving me satisfied!;)

Mel-the only baby doll shirt I saw was a baby blue one that said Pearl Jam...it had nice lettering.:) and the stickers...oh man, it sucked that I was SO broke that I couldn't get any.

First Pearl Jam show, and I'll never ever forget it. From the opening notes of Release, to the closing riff of Yellow Ledbetter... it was the best night of my life.

Hey Nadi!!
I'm glad you guys had a good time. 24th row...damn girl. I hope you two were able to see ok. What kind of 10C number did u have? (so I know what I'm in for here at the TO show lol).
Baby Blue T huh? Shit that is soo not my colour usually, and every show I've been to they've had a baby Blue baby T. I'll take a look next Sunday and see.

BTW I can't think your glitter twin enough for the 3 phone calls. Totally made my night. I gotta give Lyd my Cell number again cause after the second call my mom was getting pissed (it was after 2:30am here). hehe
I didn't care though I was shocked to be hearing PJ live!! I couldn't hear a word Lydia was saying in the third call...sounded like the show was over tho.
Anyways Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!!

wmdc

I will say that of all the shows I've seen something like 25. The reaction from Eddie During "ALIVE" while the crowd was throwing thier fists and screaming Yeah...Yeah..Yeah" Was one of my greatest PJ moments. For those of you who weren't there listen to the download close your eyes and imagine Eddie with his back to the crowd and facing the people behind the stage... he turns around to the lights on and 30,00 fists in the air "yeah were still alive..." he was blown away. The smile he gave and the vibes thrown back and forth were unfreaking beliveable. There is a lot more to write I will throw together a Gorge/Vancouver recollection. All good i would say bring on the new shit.....

Peace..

Hey Mel!! We could see okay. we were on Mike's side, but got a good view of the band though We used Lydi's #, I think it was 209xxx since she bought it already,and originally, her boyfriend was supposed to go, and I was supposed to get a ticket from someone else, but it fell through. He offered his ticket to me, since he wanted Lydi and I to have a show together at least. I feel guilty taking it from him.

hehe. yeah, she kept calling you, which was sweet. I totally forgot what other songs she called you for haha. Girl she made it a POINT to call you, I think she called you during Porch, if I am not mistaken...oh yeah, I think it was the one where all the band members where on Matt's drum set...EVERYONE in the band and they were playing to the people in the back. Pretty awesome!! I never would've thought I would EVER see that...Matt drumming, Jeff, Eddie, Mikey, and Stoney all playing to the back! :eek: :cool: those boys ALWAYS make it happen!

hehe. i am glad that you enjoyed the phone calls girl! and your show is next week...whohhhoooo. I am SO happy for you..I know the anticipation is killing you;)
