lowlight sleight and masters ...... in the first 5 songs.....
thats a decent start
But quickly for tonight at least....
-Low Light was a weird but cool opener
-Sleight of Hand sounds even better live
-Harvest Moon/Masters of War were amazing, and it was cool to have them early in the set
-Undone was a nice surprise
- crowd was mixed- some people sucked and some were fun
- beacon is amazing- sound and look
- backup singers were not ruining any songs like some people may feel
and thats all i can remember right now lol

guy in front of us sat for everything except last kiss, alive, and evenflow.
that being said....it was all worth it just to hear 'undone'!
awesome venue, i had a great time...just wish the crowd appreciated what they were getting. lowlight as an opener....awesome!
I love this band so sad the tour is over.
Yeah thats what happens with big money fund raisers, especially with the real expensive seats down front.
But its cool that you and some of the other die hard fans got to be there...hope everybody enjoyed it, not every day you see the boys play in such a place.
Nice setlist.
How cool is it that Fonzigot to sing back up on a half dozen songs.
both were great
either way, was an amazing experience. seeing fonzi was cool but i can think of another backup singer that would've made it even better.
the opening acoustic set was awesome. venue was beautiful and was smaller than my high school auditorium! :eek:
i was nervous when ed said they were crawling across the finish line after the tour and he had to get a steroid shot for his throat...but it didn't seem to affect him any.
was really cute seeing ed dancing to the song by those kids. that and the fact the band raised $3M last night are a few more of the reasons i love them.
i'm already suffering post-tour depression.
A steroid shot after a mini tour isn't a good sign...I think we've seen the last of 75 date tours and smaller jaunts are the way of the future with the band.
And I know what you mean about post tour depression...I needed a good night's sleep last night, but would have rather been sleep deprived for another night and hit another show.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Sounds like the people that really wanted to be there enjoyed the show.
Awesome setlist. I was so thrilled when I heard they had been soundchecking Harvest Moon. I hope this leaks out or you guys get a cd and share.
I am so happy you guys got an awesome show!
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
Thanks for posting your pix, they are great!
Any chance you were in the Loge, Row H? I was behind someone who took pictures all night and I saw their screen and they looked like they were going to be good pics and these look like they might have been they same.
and still jonesing for another show....

"I play good, hard-nosed basketball.
Things happen in the game. Nothing you
can do. I don't go and say,
"I'm gonna beat this guy up."
Harvest Moon was an absolute treat and Eddie sounded spectacular on it.. The back-up singers, while a little cheesy for PJ, really added to it.
While not my first time hearing Army Reserve, I thought it was the best performance of that song to date. Wish List was also a first set highlight..
1st encore takes the cake kiddies..That had to be the most beautiful version of Black that I had ever heard. The crowd was singing so loudly that you could hardly hear Eddie. I called my friend in TX and let him listen over the phone .. he later told me that he felt like he was there right next to me and that he thought it was amazing.. 1 caviat at the Beacon is the sound is much better in the "cheap seats" and during that song it stood true. Also, Given to Fly...how can you not like that song.
The 2nd encore might have been where people really thought the set lacked some ummphh, but trust me, it was great.
All and all, well worth the $350 to see Pearl Jam in such an intimate venue, the Robin Hood charity raised 3 MILLION dollars and a lot of hungry people will get to eat because of it.
I know the band was exhausted from this tour since every stop was insanely hot and humid plus they give their all each show because as fans, we give our all. Kudos to Pearl Jam, Kudos to Robin Hood and I hope Eddie decides to play that solo show at The Beacon - the best venue in NYC!

black was sick
-Ed sounded incredible. Perhaps it was the steroid shot he had after Mansfield II? In fact, the overall sound of the venue was great.
-Loved the acoustic opening, Ed saying they were going to ease into it/let it build or something along those lines.
-Who You Are, WMA, All Night, Harvest Moon--all stuff (I think?) I haven't heard live before, all sounded great!
-Crowd was mixed. There were some crazy drunk a-holes in our section (upper balcony, left side). Luckily we were in the "front" row of the upper balcony so we had some breathing room. LOTS of frat-boy types.
-However, crowd knew a lot of songs you wouldn't expect them to know, and the sing alongs were crazy good.
-Everyone was handed a copy of Ten and some literature on Robin Hood, and a form to order a t-shirt.
I'm sure I had more in mind, but I'm way tired, at work after such a long night. No voice today!

My first time at The Beacon in a few years, there is no better place to see a show. Nice and intimate, and the sound in there is just amazing.
Was lucky enough to be in the 6th row, on Stone's side. Walking in, saw the chairs set up on the stage and knew it was gonna be a nice beginning. Couldnt ever imagine Lowlight as the opener, but it sure was sweet. Smal Town was nice for the entire crowd. Then how bout a 3-4-5 of Sleight of Hand, Harvest Moon, and Masters Of War for ya. HOLY CRAP !! Bye, bye chairs and time to rock...Down, All Night (not a fan, but was reeeeeeeeealy good tonight), Corduroy ( mike checking out the balcony during this was funny), Even Flow ( with a little Matt solo at end), beautiful Light Years (with Ed mentioning Russert, Carlin afterwards). Army Reserve, killer WMA ( this version is just amazing). a jamming Marker (seemed like Mike missed the beginning again, just like MSG). A little Reprise, Wishlist (no tag from Ed, looked like he wanted to, but fucked it up) Then rockin out to Why Go and another great DTE to end the set.
1st encore...UNDONE to start, my first time, was sooooo pumped, but nobody around me seemed to know it. Who You Are, an awesome GTF (seemed to be the overall crowd favorite "rocker" tonight), followed by the sweetest Black, Ed kept looking around during it, in amazement. Lots of We Belong Togethers from the crowd. Nice Crazy Mary to end it, with the usual great jam.
Second encore started with a played tape I guess of a song from 4 kids which they played over the loudspeakers. Eddie, out there alone, was mouthing along to it. No More and Last Kiss, an enjoyable Alive, and a kick ass Baba to end show. I thought either A) balcony was goona collapse or
All in all, an incredible night, great way to end this tour for a great cause. Crowd was a mix of die hards and donors. Seems like everyone had a great time, and Im sure we weclomed some new jammers on our side after last night.
THANK YOU PJ !!!!
