You were really whooping it up...so nice that Ed recognized your spirit and gave you the tambourine!
we have similar TenC #s, so we know they were doled out in an equitable way!
Yeah man I remember you! Sorry I'm sure I stepped on your toes a few times. Great show!
I was in row 3 seat 4 for Vancouver, that was on Mike's side. Ed came over and tossed his tambourine to the guy directly in front of me wearing the yellow Joey Ramone shirt. I think I was as happy as he was and I didn't get shit! Except an incredible show which is more than enough for me. I was at the Gorge and Vancouver and both rocked but for some reason Vancouver seemed a lot more intense, I don't know if it was the indoor venue, or just the amazing Canandian crowd, but whatever it was it fucking rocked! My TC# is 790XX. I missed the '03 tour and Benaryoa but made it to the NW School Benefit and now these two shows. I have seen the band live probably around 15 times and outside of the Mercer Arena show in Seattle on the VS tour where Ed pounded a hole in the stage and then climbed in it, these were the best two shows I can remember. They have a way of taking over my entire being when they play live and I wasn't sure if it would be the same after three years but they never dissapoint and I can't wait to see them again! Poor Little Girl at the end of the Supersucker's set was just straight up fucking BAWLS OUT rock and as soon as it was over I knew the PJ set would kick. Fave tracks of the set: Bee Girl, Blood, Release, and Alive. My neck is still killing me and it's been 5 days! Peace.
Not to sound like a jock but I think the whole show was "balls out" for me. My neck still hurts and I still have that horrible bruise on my right leg from hitting the seat so much jumping up and down...
Yeah man I remember you! Sorry I'm sure I stepped on your toes a few times. Great show!
Actually, when you started jumping up and down, I feared I'd leave the gig with a bruise or broken bone, but to your credit, you did a great job of sticking to vertical movement, as opposed to horizontal!
This was a great show. I brought my x's sister and a couple from Cali to the show. I had 12th row floor stones side and they got 23rd side stage Mikey. They didn't complain about any sound problems...
anyways I'm a short guy and the girl I brought is like 5'0 but we had the best seats. At the end of row 11 they started 12 like 5 or 6 feet after and I had the aisle. So we had a little dance floor. I'm still sore. Good times.
And having you guys right in front of us made the 13th row a great seat too.
I think I was two seats over from you guys, why was security hasslin' you all so much?
Where are all the nice people I met at the Doghouse after the show? Shoot me some messages people!
I was probably one of them! Definitly headed to the Doghouse after the show and met a few really cool people.
Did you go to that place later in the weekend? It was dead
“I know this song so well, I can smoke a cigarette, have a drink, brush my teeth, take a shit, and mow the lawn while singing it. But I'll only be doing a couple of those things during this version.”
hey ATLPaladin
Security wasn't hasslin' us really. They were really strict about getting up front and staying out of the aisle. The guy's name was dennis who secured the center aisle. Some dude, after the end of release, took a huge rip off a pipe and blew the smoke right in dennis' face. He didn't say shit. I just laughed and had a good 'ol time after that. Well there was a fight to the right of us, they took the guy down pretty hard, no biggie. I'm glad you appreciated our shortness.
It was nice to hear more older songs like Release, Porch, Blood, Immortality, and the WMA tag, all which I hadn't heard live previously. I wish they'd played Insignificance or Whipping, since they play those half the time, but never when I've seen them (They always seem to play those two in Missoula for some reason, right before they come here, on the last 2 tours.). Nice to hear Baba for a 2nd time.
Wore my nice green Windowpain shirt, with the 1993 Canadian dates on the back. Sat in Section 117, Row 6, right behind the Canucks bench. Best seat I've had to see Pearl Jam.

This is the greatest band in the world -- Ben Harper
Late review, but I flew up to Vancouver to see the show on my birthday. Best birthday I've ever had. I haven't been able to get that show out of my head since. My buddy who came with me probably wanted to kill me because I wouldn't shut up about it the rest of the trip.
As everyone has said, the energy in that place was amazing. Simply amazing. Some of the highlights for me were hearing the first notes of Release, Blood was just intense. Absolutely intense. Matt going off at the end of Immortality, the "Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!..." at the end of Alive and just looking out at the crowd and seeing absolutely everyone dancing and singing along.
I came out of there soaking wet from jumping around and dancing and it took a week to get the scratchiness out of my voice, I actually couldn't talk for the first two days after. The band sounded amazing and even though it was kind of a "greatest hits" setlist, it was good for my friend, who is more of a casual fan and I didn't mind a bit.
Thank you Vancouver (what a great city), thank you Ten Club and thank you Pearl Jam. Happy birthday to me.
Seen the band 4 times and this was both the most energetic and the best set I had ever head them play. Last show Seattle 2000 was more atmospheric but this had more rarities. Special moments: Mike's acting skills, especially early in the show during Go and Animal, the behind-the-head first half of the solo in Even Flow, Footsteps, Blood, Immortality, Baba. KICKASS!!
Is it just me or was Blood during this show a highlight...I was freaking blown away when they went into Blood...my neck was aching from banging to this one...amazing version....

It wasn't just you! I'm still freakin' blown away by "blood".. and "daughter/wma" and "even flow" and the irish jig dancing during "baba" and, really, *everything* about the show...The energy and volume was unparalleled.....

Yeah, I was there too and thought this show was unbelievable. I still can't believe I heard Footsteps live...Absolutely one of my favorite songs. That version of Alive was the best I've ever heard too!!! Fuckin' awesome. Nice job bumpin' this puppy up, HailHail!
I got hit on the head with a quarter during "EvenFlow"...no shit! Hadn't heard the "quarter rant" at that point, but the first word out of my face was "FUCKER!!!" It hurt like a mother, and I couldn't hear anything for a moment or two...there was NO WAY I was going to pass out and miss any of that show!!!
And, what a show it was, even if we couldn't whistle worth shit...Can't wait to see them again! Wow! Wow! Wow!!
Heh, it was my dad's birthday that day, and with all of the excitement it never crossed my mind once! I felt kinda selfish afterwards, but it was worth it! Yeah, I know that no matter how many times they play there again, a great bunch of "ready-to-go-for-it" kind people will be there to greet them (myself included) with great enthusiasm (well, ok, a wash of noise, but still). The only thing that kept the show from being too perfect in my mind while I was there (which I know, I shouldn't have let bother me, and it didn't too much...) was the fact that there were quite a few repeats from not only the previous night, but from the previous time they played there. But that's something even Ed or the rest of the band can't be expected to be THAT on top of. I'm not trying to complain; it's minor. All in all, it still beat seeing pretty well any other band on even their best night.

pj shows in vancouver are always one of the best of the tour.that and seattle. theres less security,everyone is more relaxed. cops arent everywhere. much different vibe than in the states.
"shes stoned said the swede, and the
mooncalf agreed" THe BANd
Its an absolute travesty that this bootleg sounds like crap...this show has totally flown under the radar this past tour...quite a long show with some mean highlights....my favorite being Blood...best version I have ever heard...glad to see it live....
That was a hell of a show.. especially for a first timer I was blown away by Blood, and I also remember how pumped up I felt after Go, just freakin amazing! Add that with a crazy crowd and the beginning of a Canadian tour.. wow.
