Was anyone in Section 109 with Drunky Drunkerton? This middle aged dude with some hot young blonde was WASTED from the get go and fell down the aisle several times. A few times he slipped backwards and ended up on his ass, a few times he fell forward into people and down the steps. He would disappear for a bit and then show back up with two more beers in his hand!!! What a clown...
I was at both nights and thought last night blew MSG I away. I don’t know why—I just felt a better energy. Liked the setlist better mostly too. Funny thing, night 2, I gave my 10c seats to my son and his friend and sat up in section 228 that I got from TM, and I actually liked that view better than the floor. But our section was kind of subdued in spots. We were 2 seats in from the aisle, and came in 15 mins before the guys took the stage, and this woman sitting next to us, the FIRST WORDS out of her mouth were, “you’re not going to be jumping all around, are you?” WTF??? Now, I’m not 16, I was with my sister in law and she’s 36 and I’m 40...we weren’t planning on moshing or anything but there was no way in hell we would sit there for a minute…I don’t get people that go to a rock concert and expect it to be like a symphony. She looked about late 30’s/early 40’s and was with a man who looked to be late 40’s/early 50’s and he was pretty obviously dragged there by his lady friend.
Luckily for us (I can’t BELIEVE this) the people on the 2 end seats didn’t show up!! (Or they didn’t get sold?) so we were able to scoot down and not bump the stick in the mud couple with our dancing. I thought they’d stroke out when people started sparking up around them. Finally, for one song, I think it was Even Flow the lady got into it and was dancing around a little, I was joking to my sister in law that she should say, “hey, lady, can you not jump around please?” but thought that the joke would be lost on her.
Loved loved loved SOLAT into Even Flow with the drum solo, that changed it up from the night before, opening w/Release (like my sis-in-law said, PERFECT vibe to start it off with), Betterman rocked the Garden to the foundation, Garden, RVM…and I LOST it when the they started Black Diamond, I yelled, “I LOVE this song!” and someone said, “what song??” so I told them. I thought for sure I was the only one in my section that knew what it was—people were bewildered. I loved KISS as a kid, when I was 8 (1976) I asked for Alive and Destroyer for Christmas (kinda weird for a little girl I guess), my parents indulged me, so I blame my concert going mania on them
Didn’t mind the repeats, especially since I had a slight emergency night 1 and had to leave after the first encore, so at least I got Alive again.
Awesome night. Thanks Pearl Jam, 10c, all the cool people we met, and No Code rocked the Cutting Room the day before!
Yeah, a small digital camera was blacking someone's view of the band. Doubtful. Take a step to your left and freaking relax. I'm not posting my videos on YouTube, so take another chill pill. Funny how you get on me for cursing, yet you have no problem dropping the S-bomb and F-bomb in your post. Classy.
I hope you can tell the difference between saying someone's camera is shitty, and it takes shitty pictures, as opposed to "fuck this guy" and calling someone an ass. and yes, cameras do block someone's view, especially when people are holding thnem up over their head. Did you ask the people behind you if it was blocking their view?
So I bump into a friend of mine post-show. It was his first PJ show, but has been to many concerts. Says to me, " I've never been to a concert where the entire crowd is standing from start to finish. Incredible"
Welcome to OUR world, my friend, welcome to our world
For all those going, enjoy Hartford and Mansfield. See ya at The Beacon baby !!

Here's to you, wastoids. I'm glad you guys enjoyed the show behind us. I didnt think 4 guys could smoke a metric ton of weed while holding two full beers in each hand. Your consumption was inspiring. To see and smell that daring a feat executed to perfection was a first for me. bravo. Wearing sunglasses the whole show was also nice touch. Again, another first.
I know you were fans with 10C tickets. Or at least 2 of you were. You guys knew the words to every song and sang them in your slurred stupor with gusto. You deserve your own 10C bootleg series.
The way you rocked out was awesome. Row K could not contain you. Your headbanging during SOLAT and RVM was epic! When you accidentally banged heads with the 10c'er standing in row J in front of you, I knew it was on- The Rocking Would Not Be Denied.
You guys were also thoughtful. When your buddy passed out while standing up and fell on my wife during YL, you saved his beer from spilling! This saved your friend $7! And when your other buddy went to sleep during Last Kiss, screaming expletives at him seemed to perk him up for a few minutes. Did he drive you home?
Two amazing shows. No need to pick one over the other. My 12th show and first Release. What a great band.

well let me start by saying i've seen evry show at the garden wich is 6, 4 of those have been on the floor 3 of those have been in the 1st row, but to me last night was the best of all the MSG shows maybe it had to do with me beeing with my 14yr old son his 1st pj show like xman said the view from my seats was really good section 338 and the people around me were all rocking and singin pretty hard thru out the whole show thats my 2c ......damm i really enjoyed being with matias for his 1st pj show he was very happy he sang songs he knew he said mike is a sick guitarist ,and his favorite is matt since my son has a drum kit and is learning to play anyway oh yeah FUCK THE CELL PHONE JUNKIES STAY AT HOME OR BETTER YET STAY OUTSIDE THE SHOW AND TEXT AWAY FOOLS ......
Well, first off, fuck this guy who said this since I just watched a load of video I shot from halfway up the floor using my shitty digital camera and it all came out awesome. Glad you can buy the bootleg in a week. I'll get mine too. Oh yeah, and did I mention you're an ass?
quote]
very nice. classy all the way. did you happen to notice that while shooting your video, you were probably blocking someone else's view of the band? No,because, as you would say----fuck those guys. And fuck the band too, who have made it a point to remind its fans that they do not want any filming of them. I guess they're all asses too. Block someone's view last night, and come on the board today and start hurling insults and curses. You may want to review the rules of this board, as well as the rules and requests of the band, when attending one of their shows
I attempt to not block anyone's view when doing so, which why mine are all shaky. I just do it because taking pictures would be pointless from my distance to the stage.

yay for drummer sons--my son's a drummer and his friend that he brought to sit in the 10c seats is one too, they were LOVING Matt's solo--they were blown away by the whole show. My kids were obviously raised on pearl jam and my son is now 18, his friend is 20 and they were so happy to be there. I love multi-generational families rocking out at shows!
That is SICK that THIS was your FIRST SHOW!!
NOW you're REALLY, REALLY spoiled!!
A swig, a pick, great seats, AND this kind of a show for your first time...you are hooked for life now, man...trust me, as this was #23 for me ... it's the best addiction you could possibly have.
Yeah, I was told to get a hobby and I picked PJ- It was the best thing I did last year. I'm definitely spoiled- How can I top the next time I see them?

Great post !! Sad but hilarious.
I was held captive to 8 guys chain smoking cigarettes all night next to me. It felt like I was subject to some new kind of torture method. I think what msg show was better really depends on what the vibe in your section was like. Night 1 was a big party in my section. Last night was annoying, hence I liked night 1 better overall. Night 2 had the better set list IMHO.
After going over both nights (in my head) I must admit that both were special, but I think the crowd at night 1 had a better vibe. Setlists were very close, but I'm not a Kiss fan so I have to also give the edge to the first night. With that being said, both shows were two of the best I've ever witnessed! Amazing time! Wish they could've played three nights!!!

hey larry i don't mean pict or video that to me is cool the textmessaging is the one's i mean did you get to shoot any songs you didn't allready have ?...

Joebot- agree 100%. I had a great section MSG1, and left the show on an incredibly high note. The guys behind me for MSGII were a puddle of beer and weed.
i was glad eddie acknowledged the fact he has been ignoring jeff the past few shows. i was just thinking during the show that if he ignored jeff again i was goin post to see if anyone else noticed that!
generally i think every 1st night is more exciting. i missed MSG1 but i was still super stoked on last night's show, and i thought everyone around me in section 312 had a load of energy. RATS. SOLAT. LUKIN. who cares about repeats??? pj songs rock no matter how many times you hear them!
i am only 26 (not a old fogie), but i agree that cell phone usage can get annoying. i dont usually even drink at shows bc i like enjoying the whole experience, not living behind the camera. i never even bring my camera (i did snap a few shots w/ my cell at irving plaza though..)
thanks for the tix 10c!!!!!!!

A few times he slipped backwards and ended up on his ass, a few times he fell forward into people and down the steps. He would disappear for a bit and then show back up with two more beers in his hand!!! What a clown...
i was in section 209 right behind that clown! embarassing!
i was waiting for him to go down the stairs head first.
went to both shows. Night 1 had the better setlist, but Night 2's crowd blew the first night away. Both nights were awesome though. I sat row 7 for the first night, but back by the sound board for the second night.. didn't enjoy it any less; the sound might have actually been a little better. Didn't mind any of the repeats either. Maybe couldve done without No More War again, though. Still great because the crowd participation was amazing Night 2.
I hope you can tell the difference between saying someone's camera is shitty, and it takes shitty pictures, as opposed to "fuck this guy" and calling someone an ass. and yes, cameras do block someone's view, especially when people are holding thnem up over their head. Did you ask the people behind you if it was blocking their view?
I would hope that if someone was THAT bothered, they would speak up instead of just complaining on a PJ message board. WaWaaaaaaaaaa.....
If someone told me I was in their way at the show, I would have gladly stopped.
another great show. i have to say that MSG I was a better overall experience for me: i had 10C seats on the floor, they played some songs that i was really hoping for (down, love reign oer me, miracles, alive) and i was full of energy. i wont comment on the crowds energy i just know i had more night I. i think the main thing that made night I better for me was floor seats.
MSG II was great and it was just what i needed. i was up in 331, great view, all around me were really into it, but my energy was down after spending it all night I, so i was a little more subdued than i usually am. somebody else mentioned this in another post and i completely agree, many people probably blew their load at night I and were a little drained for night II. being on the floor night I, every body with me was rocking all night and looking up to the nosebleeders it looked like they were too. night II looking down to the floor i was expecting to see everyone going crazy, but it wasnt the case. outside of dead center in row 1 a majority of people (in row 1) were just standing or leaning on the gate in front. no offense to anyone, its just the few times i looked down, so maybe you were taking a breather.
i loved both setlists and thought that having only 10 repeats was phenomenal. especially when the repeats included alive, even flow, wma, who you are, why go, GTF, DTE etc. songs i dont mind hearing again. overall, im looking at it as one big setlist and that is why i went both nights.
as far as the cell phone debate, both sides are wrong to a certain extent. night I a die hard friend of mine had to bail out for being sick, so i brought my wife (which was great) and i sent my friend a couple quick texts to let him know he missed floor seats, wma, 3 encores etc. what does it take 3 seconds per text, chill out! pictures: i snapped a few shitty ones, but i keep the phone at my eye level, so my huge head is blocking more of peoples view than my tiny cell phone, so settle down. besides a "shitty" camera phone shot i took at the meadowlands in 2006 is still the background on my phone, so you can get usable shots. that is all.

I don't have a problem with a few texts, or a couple pics. The people in front of me spent the entire show, 2 1/2 hours, non stop on their phones. I'm not even sure they belonged there. Same thing with pictures. A couple here and there, I get. Taking dozens, possibly a hundred or more, gets old. Especially when you're holding the camera up over your head, using the LCD screen to take the picture. And since the screen would freeze every picture, I could tell how bad the shots were. If we were closer, hell I would have went out and got a disposable and taken some pics. The fan clubber next to me, her husband had an amazing camera, and the pictures he was taking looked like they were taken from the front row. Again, i get that, and would be doing the same if I had that kind of equipment. He also made sure he wasn't bothering the people behind him, and made sure to keep the camera from blocking their view. That's all it takes, just a little bit of consideration. Most people have it.

i understand completely and can see how that would be a problem. i guess the only reason i commented at all was because it looked like the 2 of you were getting a little heated and i hoped a different viewpoint or my huge head comment would lighten up the mood and get people back on track about talking about what a great show we got to see.

I agree. I kept the camera at eye level and never raised it above my head.

So thankful to Chrisg72 that she had the extra for me! Without her, I wouldn't have made it to my 18th show...and what a show it was!
I've been praying and praying for a Release opener...and boy, did I get it! I think I even cried a little! And Garden at the Garden? Too much...
Having been at the Rangers Stanley Cup win in '94 (had season tickets for a few years)....the Let's Go Rangers chants brought back so many wonderful memories for me!
Thanks again, Chrisg72 (and hubby!) and thanks to the Hawaiians who let me sit with my brother during the 2nd encore!

Last night's show was unreal.
I can't say enough about how incredible the energy was...the floor was bouncing up and down...Ed made a comment about the stage shaking. lol
It was so loud with everyone singing that I couldn't hear Ed alot of the time.
Garden was incredible...RVM...I don't even remember GTF
So many awesome moments.
I have to say, I was pissed that they turned themselves around to the back, where I was sitting, for Last Kiss....I do NOT like that song. But in retrospect, it was actually cute...like a little wandering minstel band...matt with his little drum kit, Stone, Mike and Jeff just hanging out.
Ace Frehley blew me away...a living legend...as did CJ Ramone. I Believe In Miracles was incredible.
Thank you PJ!!!!!
Oh, and opening with Release????!!??!/?!?????
Amazing.
I was wondering what people were thinking that were sitting over there. I'm glad you got to see that show and enjoyed it

I'm old school also and LONG for the days when I paid money to actually hear the band singing and NOT hear the entire crowd scream the words to the songs at the top of their lungs. I also don't get people that sit there and talk to their friends all show long, you're at the damn concert talk to them after. That's why I was so happy when the played Black Diamond I could actually HEAR the song......
oh wait-I'm one of those people singing the words I love that aspect of the concert, that the place is filled to the rafters and everyone in the place knows every single word and sings along in unison. It gives me goose bumps.
Esp. when everyone sings Alive.
And last night when everyone was singing RVM.
I think not everyone knows the words to Black Diamond or they'd be singing that too

Luckily for us (I can’t BELIEVE this) the people on the 2 end seats didn’t show up!! (Or they didn’t get sold?) so we were able to scoot down and not bump the stick in the mud couple with our dancing. I thought they’d stroke out when people started sparking up around them. Finally, for one song, I think it was Even Flow the lady got into it and was dancing around a little, I was joking to my sister in law that she should say, “hey, lady, can you not jump around please?” but thought that the joke would be lost on her.
Loved loved loved SOLAT into Even Flow with the drum solo, that changed it up from the night before, opening w/Release (like my sis-in-law said, PERFECT vibe to start it off with), Betterman rocked the Garden to the foundation, Garden, RVM…and I LOST it when the they started Black Diamond, I yelled, “I LOVE this song!” and someone said, “what song??” so I told them.

weird that a band with such a big catalog, would have so many repeats back to back nights in the same venue.

Here's to you, wastoids. I'm glad you guys enjoyed the show behind us. I didnt think 4 guys could smoke a metric ton of weed while holding two full beers in each hand. Your consumption was inspiring. To see and smell that daring a feat executed to perfection was a first for me. bravo. Wearing sunglasses the whole show was also nice touch. Again, another first.
I know you were fans with 10C tickets. Or at least 2 of you were. You guys knew the words to every song and sang them in your slurred stupor with gusto. You deserve your own 10C bootleg series.
The way you rocked out was awesome. Row K could not contain you. Your headbanging during SOLAT and RVM was epic! When you accidentally banged heads with the 10c'er standing in row J in front of you, I knew it was on- The Rocking Would Not Be Denied.
You guys were also thoughtful. When your buddy passed out while standing up and fell on my wife during YL, you saved his beer from spilling! This saved your friend $7! And when your other buddy went to sleep during Last Kiss, screaming expletives at him seemed to perk him up for a few minutes. Did he drive you home?

I attempt to not block anyone's view when doing so, which why mine are all shaky. I just do it because taking pictures would be pointless from my distance to the stage.

Yeah, I was told to get a hobby and I picked PJ- It was the best thing I did last year. I'm definitely spoiled- How can I top the next time I see them?
Great post !! Sad but hilarious.
I was held captive to 8 guys chain smoking cigarettes all night next to me. It felt like I was subject to some new kind of torture method. I think what msg show was better really depends on what the vibe in your section was like. Night 1 was a big party in my section. Last night was annoying, hence I liked night 1 better overall. Night 2 had the better set list IMHO.
After going over both nights (in my head) I must admit that both were special, but I think the crowd at night 1 had a better vibe. Setlists were very close, but I'm not a Kiss fan so I have to also give the edge to the first night. With that being said, both shows were two of the best I've ever witnessed! Amazing time! Wish they could've played three nights!!!

hey larry i don't mean pict or video that to me is cool the textmessaging is the one's i mean did you get to shoot any songs you didn't allready have ?...
Joebot- agree 100%. I had a great section MSG1, and left the show on an incredibly high note. The guys behind me for MSGII were a puddle of beer and weed.
The setlist is just part of the equation.
generally i think every 1st night is more exciting. i missed MSG1 but i was still super stoked on last night's show, and i thought everyone around me in section 312 had a load of energy. RATS. SOLAT. LUKIN. who cares about repeats??? pj songs rock no matter how many times you hear them!
i am only 26 (not a old fogie), but i agree that cell phone usage can get annoying. i dont usually even drink at shows bc i like enjoying the whole experience, not living behind the camera. i never even bring my camera (i did snap a few shots w/ my cell at irving plaza though..)
thanks for the tix 10c!!!!!!!
i was in section 209 right behind that clown! embarassing!
i was waiting for him to go down the stairs head first.
Awesome two shows all around. Wow.
I would hope that if someone was THAT bothered, they would speak up instead of just complaining on a PJ message board. WaWaaaaaaaaaa.....
If someone told me I was in their way at the show, I would have gladly stopped.
MSG II was great and it was just what i needed. i was up in 331, great view, all around me were really into it, but my energy was down after spending it all night I, so i was a little more subdued than i usually am. somebody else mentioned this in another post and i completely agree, many people probably blew their load at night I and were a little drained for night II. being on the floor night I, every body with me was rocking all night and looking up to the nosebleeders it looked like they were too. night II looking down to the floor i was expecting to see everyone going crazy, but it wasnt the case. outside of dead center in row 1 a majority of people (in row 1) were just standing or leaning on the gate in front. no offense to anyone, its just the few times i looked down, so maybe you were taking a breather.
i loved both setlists and thought that having only 10 repeats was phenomenal. especially when the repeats included alive, even flow, wma, who you are, why go, GTF, DTE etc. songs i dont mind hearing again. overall, im looking at it as one big setlist and that is why i went both nights.
as far as the cell phone debate, both sides are wrong to a certain extent. night I a die hard friend of mine had to bail out for being sick, so i brought my wife (which was great) and i sent my friend a couple quick texts to let him know he missed floor seats, wma, 3 encores etc. what does it take 3 seconds per text, chill out! pictures: i snapped a few shitty ones, but i keep the phone at my eye level, so my huge head is blocking more of peoples view than my tiny cell phone, so settle down. besides a "shitty" camera phone shot i took at the meadowlands in 2006 is still the background on my phone, so you can get usable shots. that is all.
I don't have a problem with a few texts, or a couple pics. The people in front of me spent the entire show, 2 1/2 hours, non stop on their phones. I'm not even sure they belonged there. Same thing with pictures. A couple here and there, I get. Taking dozens, possibly a hundred or more, gets old. Especially when you're holding the camera up over your head, using the LCD screen to take the picture. And since the screen would freeze every picture, I could tell how bad the shots were. If we were closer, hell I would have went out and got a disposable and taken some pics. The fan clubber next to me, her husband had an amazing camera, and the pictures he was taking looked like they were taken from the front row. Again, i get that, and would be doing the same if I had that kind of equipment. He also made sure he wasn't bothering the people behind him, and made sure to keep the camera from blocking their view. That's all it takes, just a little bit of consideration. Most people have it.
i understand completely and can see how that would be a problem. i guess the only reason i commented at all was because it looked like the 2 of you were getting a little heated and i hoped a different viewpoint or my huge head comment would lighten up the mood and get people back on track about talking about what a great show we got to see.
I agree. I kept the camera at eye level and never raised it above my head.

So thankful to Chrisg72 that she had the extra for me! Without her, I wouldn't have made it to my 18th show...and what a show it was!
I've been praying and praying for a Release opener...and boy, did I get it! I think I even cried a little! And Garden at the Garden? Too much...
Having been at the Rangers Stanley Cup win in '94 (had season tickets for a few years)....the Let's Go Rangers chants brought back so many wonderful memories for me!
Thanks again, Chrisg72 (and hubby!) and thanks to the Hawaiians who let me sit with my brother during the 2nd encore!

oh wait-I'm one of those people singing the words
Esp. when everyone sings Alive.
And last night when everyone was singing RVM.
I think not everyone knows the words to Black Diamond or they'd be singing that too
