Wow nice pics! I was wondering who that shirtless kid was at the show. Who's he belong to? How'd you get back stage?! nice!!

hey rose,

shirtless kid belongs to eddie spaghetti, singer of the supersuckers. he spent all of soundcheck riding his razor scooter around the arena floor and wouldn't put his shirt back on. i got backstage because i'm friends with the supersuckers (i also babysit the little shirtless scooter rider) and they were kind and gracious enough to let me hang out for the show. it was super amazing and everyone, band and crew for both pearl jam and the supersuckers are great people. it was a great experience.

Nice work guys! You know who you are. I feel bad for the second couple that got caught before they could finish.

Eddie, Thanks for the tribute to Canada in WishList.

"I wish I came from a Country
That never went to war
I wish I cam from a Country
That took care of it's poor.

Maybe someday that will change
In the place from where we came.

But in the meantime thanks for the example
In the meantime thanks for giving us hope
In the meantime showing our leaders what can be done."

Just downloaded the bootleg and I'm listening to it while reading posts. My 3rd PJ show, all in Vancouver, and this one I was a little disappointed in compared to the others. Brought my girlfriend and I was real excited about having her there with me after having absolutley the best time in '03 with a buddy. PJ is my favourite band and I was real excited about getting to enjoy it with her.
But I found that the sound was off. Read a few posts that said the same. We were on Mike's side, 17 rows up 2 sections off the stage so the seats were great but the sound just didn't come through right. COuldn't make out Mike's guitar that well and a lot of the sound seemed squeezed together.

Don't get me wrong, we had a wicked time. The band played their asses off and the crowd was electric. Brought earplugs along, (with no plans of using them!) but put them in for the encore breaks because the crowd was so incredibly loud.
Incredible! The place was shaking!

After listening to the bootleg, I can feel a new appreciation for the show which I had after the show in '03.

Becoming a bigger fan everytime I listen to these guys. There's no band that even comes close!!!

Couldn't have said it better myself.

This show was one of the most amazing shows I have ever seen. I too have seen PJ 3 times in Van and I must say each time I am too am becoming a bigger and bigger fan! They always put on a great live show... How could you not love them more then the last time you saw them? It is just impossible! I managed to find myself front row at this show which was super cool because I was meant to be set way the heck up in section 321! It was so impressive... Eddie and the whole band rocked hard and the crowd was amazing you could tell everyone was feeding off of each other. I too downloaded the show but I noticed not all songs are there. Most of the encore stuff is missing? Did you find that as well? If not could you maybe pass what I don't have along to myself? I only have up until the First Encore break with the following songs: Bee Girl, Black - Porch, Miracles, Baba O'Riley & Yellow Ledbetter. If you could help it would be so appreciated!

Well that's awesome! Lucky you!! Cute kid. I saw him come out and pump up the crowd too. I had never seen the Supersuckers before and they were really good. :-)

First and foremost, a big “THANK YOU!!” to the naked girl that was sitting behind me. Although, I did find her to be a distraction (a very good distraction) from the concert.

Seriously, the concert was great. I’ve been to 10 shows, and this is right up there with the 03 Santa Barbara concert. Lots of energy. There were some songs that I usually cringe when hearing (even flow, alive) that had me smiling and cheering. There was AMAZING energy in the place. The encore breaks were louder then the actual music.

I didn’t think I would make it. My 96 Jimmy BLEW UP on while traveling from the Gorge over North Cascades Pass. I was able to get a rental car in Mt. Vernon and made it to Vancouver about 15 minutes before PJ started. Amazing version of “Release”!!!! It was a very, very, very taxing day for me, and this song was just what I needed.

The Gorge show had a better set-list and environment, but the Vancouver show made it up with INTENSITY.

I had a great time hanging out in Vancouver over the weekend. Canadians were very polite and courteous to my brash, arrogant, American friends and me. THANKS CANADA!

We're you the tall guy in the blue shirt? I knew Ed threw out a couple tambourines, but he specifically threw one to a guy in a blue shirt ( I think it took Ed a throw or two).

That is really cool. I was sitting behind the stage and I saw Ed point you out and throw the tambourine...I was like "that is one lucky dude!"

ps. what's your 10C # to get such great seats? i missed out on the 10c in Vancouver, but got it for the Gorge.

My 10C number is 72xxx. And yes I was the tall guy in the blue shirt. I still can't believe the whole show but I really couldn't believe Ed throwing me the tamborine, and it did take 2 tries. The first try went to the girls in front of me. I have the biggest bruise on my thigh from jumping around so much and hitting the chairs in front of me.

Still on a high from that show. PJ at their best.

I can honestly say that I've never seen a better beginning to a concert than I did in Vancouver on Friday.

Release > Go > Animal > Save You

Unbelievable!!! Start off with one of the best slow songs PJ ever recorded and then rip into three of the best rockers they've ever put together, not to mention this included Go right into Animal!! Amazing!! Oh, and they played a little tune called Footsteps, which happens to be one of my favorite PJ songs ever. I now have memories for a lifetime from this show (and from the Gorge, of course).

dustinpardue

as I said in the Gorge thread, I have 3 words for you: "Matt Fucking Cameron!"
awesome show. all of the songs I had seen live before (except Bee Girl), but the band was on fire. As they were at the Gorge. Seems maybe they have a new perspective on the songs-I don't know. I figure they think if they aren't going to play any new songs, then they will rock the fuck out of the older songs. I think toning Boom's organ down a bit was the perfect thing to do. It is only prevelant when need be, unlike the 03 tour. 2 shows lat week, 2 of the best I have ever seen the band play.

How funny, I sat right next to you, on your left!

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!

I had that trouble as well... i kept retrying the download and eventually all the songs came down... not intuitive as nothing tells you what is supposed to be happening but keept trying and it should work out.

Could someone please direct me to the set list for Vancouver. It doesn't seem to be at the beginning of the thread as it is with the other shows.
Thanks!

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.

I took this picture with my camera phone. You can see a few empty seats, it was taken after the 2nd encore, before the 3rd encore. Almost everyone is on their feet because between each encore, there was non stop cheering. People left between each encore thinking that the concert was over, oh how we laughed at them.

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.

just came back...

it was my first pearl jam show (my first bigger show at all)...i still can't believe that i have been there...

wow...the beginning...release...eddies voice is so incredible...so fucking deep...it was great 15 years ago...but now...the only thing i can say is...wow

i loved the setlist...i have never been able to understand why everyone loves given to fly that much but now i am...and they played down and footsteps...and everything else

1/2 full was very cool...why the fuck suddenly everyone needed a drink or had to go to the washrooms?...you are completely insane!

and i seemed to be the only one in my section (318) who knew i believe in miracles

the only thing i have to complain about is the girl who sat next to me...right in immortality when i stood there with my eyes closed and just wanted to enjoy it she started to talk to me...i did not want to appear inpolite so i told her my name but she did not get it and i had to repeat it all the time...and she blew smoke in my face all the time and apologized...you can talk to me and smoke as much as you want to but not while i am at a pearl jam show listening to immortality...really!!!...i was happy when she left after the first encore...

btw...i'd like to know if my sister and me have been the only people from germany/europe on that show...i did not fly to canada because of the tour but i don't think it was just a coincident that i read the tour dates one day after i booked the flight to vancouver...no, it was fate, what i call ka and i do not know if it is good or bad but ka is a wheel

pearl jam keep on rockin'
