    Here's my gripe. I just got home... yes its 4:20AM WTF..... My car freaking overheated too. Worst show ever for me....EVER. Stood in 10club line for over an hour... Missed 9 or 10 songs? Got in at Not For You (around 10:05pm?)..... I'm beyond pissed at this point more exhausted.....ugh
    Sorry to hear that happened to you...
    You missed out on an incredible show!
    It is my favorite show so far...the setlist speaks for itself! :):D

    This was my fouth show ever. Not much compared to some of you, but I still wear that as a badge of honor. I have some thoughts about the show and the venue.

    First, every concert I have ever been to has the frat boy losers running around acting like children. I do not think Hartford is any different.

    Second, I have to say, those people that showed up at 8 o'clock to get their tickets and missed some of the show, what did they expect? I am sorry that it happened but I am not surprised.

    Lastly, what a great set from a great band. I am still moved by the Leash performance. Still. It is like I go through a time warp when I see these guys. It always brings me back to a great time in my life. Cheers all

    Please share your Fanviews of the show here...the Fanview threads are preserved on the board.

    This one was a bit different for me and my wife since we decided to tempt fate and bring our two kids to the show (ages 6 and 8). Since I let my 10 Club membership lapse (again?!) the only tickets I could get were lawn. My kids enjoyed Ted Leo's set but they started to get tired during the intermission before Pearl Jam started. We decided to head over to the family zone that was gated-off in the lawn near section 800, which turned out to be a good move considering how rowdy the lawn seemed to get as the night progressed. Very hard to see the stage, though. My son was completely asleep on his blanket from the second song on ... my daughter almost made it to Even Flow (one of her favorites).

    I was rocking out as much as I could sitting on the lawn watching the video projection with an 8 year old sleeping on my lap, but it really didn't matter. It was a great show. I left the show with a big smile on my face ... I knew this one was something special. It's in my top 5 for sure ... now I'm waiting anxiously for the bootleg. And my kids seem to appreciate Pearl Jam a bit more now when I play them in the car, so I'm doing my part raising the next generation of fans!

    I was surprised how good the sound was out on the lawn - everything sounded very clear.

    I remember when Ed said "its not the end of the world....but i think we can fuckin see it" I completely agreed with him, and when he did say that, i thought of his daughter........Shit sucks nowadays, thats all I gotta say. I'm glad I heard him say that though, because I have been thinking the same thing for months.

    OK, so, I went to half of the shows on this tour:

    'Roo
    Columbia
    Virginia Beach
    DC
    Mansfield 1
    Mansfield 2


    Gotta say, I bought the boot today and I am FLOORED at how good this was. I was lucky to to experience the 'Roo, Mansfield 2, and Columbia (all universally praised shows). I thought DC was a classic "epic" PJ show, but not "legendary". I though VA Beach was an amazingly under-rated show (Long Road, Guaranteed, Green Disease, Sleight of Hand, maybe the best NFY ever!).

    Mansfiedl 1 was my dissapointment for the tour. Good show (what PJ show isn't) but I thought the set was uninspiring, save for a few, and the band seemed somewhere else. Now I know why.

    The Hartford boot is UNREAL: setlist, energy level, length of show, band vibe, etc. Ed seemed in a GREAT mood (I love the "stinky bathroom" comment) and the band was on fire. Talk about a terrific setlist: In Hiding, Brain of J, Smile, Leash, Breakerfall all in one show!!!! WOW!!!!

    Out of all the shows I missed, this one feels like the shoulda, woulda, coulda form me...

    So I called Kufala just to check on my order and make sure everything was ok. He saw the CD hadn't been shipped yet, but said he'd print out the invoice and get it shipped today!!

    They rock! Great customer service! Thanks Kufala!

    I got the boot the other day. It has not left my car and won't. I remember calling my husband during daughter. He and I have a running joke about daughter. I left him a pretty insanely drunken message on his cell phone. All I can do is crack up everytime it comes on now.

    Love Love LOVE In Hiding.

    Brain of J, Smile, Leash, Breakerfall, Not for You, Last Exit, Garden. Just to name a few. Just Amazing that I can name 5 or 6 songs and there are another 5 or 6 songs that could easily be put in their place as hi-lights of the show. I also got to see Big Wave for the first time too.

    When I got home around 3:30 or so. My husband woke up and asked me what I thought, and if I had a good time. I told him it was the best PJ show I had been to yet. Just everything about the show was great. Outside the show not so great. But once we were inside it was just a surprise to me just how the night unfolded.
