 its called "My Party" off their newest album Because of the Times. that whole cd is awesome you should pick it up
 and it should be noted that I met kings of leon at the hotel! they were in the pool and as they got out i shook the singers hand and also the drummer. i asked them if they were gonna bring back slow night so long and throw vedder on the tamborines. they hadnt done it yet, but they did it last night! it was awesome
 and shortly after that, i was in the hotel lobby when here comes eddie out of the elevator!! i hardly recognized him, he had on big fake glasses, a trucker hat, and shorts with some tube socks. i didnt even know what to say. i said "hey eddie!" and he gave me a wave then ducked out into the van.
 kings of leon were a great opener..i was very excited when i saw they were opening, and they didnt disappoint at all
 this whole show was awesome. it was my first pj show and after being a fan for 8 years (although im only 21) i drove from arkansas to see them, because i didnt know when the next time was. cant keep was so great and i could tell the crowd would be into it all night. then why go had a ton of energy!! all of the songs..the crowd was singing the whole time and eddie was awesome. mike was also really into it, it seemed..it looked like they were all having fun. the highlight for me would probably be Education. they played it extremely well. and i really enjoyed I Got Shit, i love that song and they dont play it near as much anymore - so it was great to hear. i could go on forever, and maybe i will post more later, but let it be known that this was the best thing ive ever seen and even exceeded my expectations.0

            what a show, such a great time. thank you so much 10c for my tickets section 106 row 7 which was on par with the 4th row on the floor. the band was great and ed was so full of energy.....i was a little disappointed in KOL, maybe the sound was messed up? but i couldn't really understand the singer at all.....and i got one of matt's drumsticks! which was a great surprise0

            My 7th show, and easily the best. I really don't have words to describe what a truly great show this was. WMA was incredible. So many rarities and so much energy from the crowd. Shows like this one don't happen too often, I am glad I got to be a small part of it. Thanks PJ.8-20-92 \ 6-16-08

Unfortunately our seats were in section 222 and the sound was not on - it sounded like the music was coming out of a can, but that was my misfortune as pleanty others in the lower sections and on the floor stated the sound was perfect. I drove in with a friend of Mine from Chicago and we stopped one day at the Roo (Ill save that post for the Roo thread - AMAZING!!!) and sat 30' off the stage from what could have been the best show ever. So I knew not to expect too much for the SC show, but it was still PJ, still great, and they were into it all night long. Just more bummed about Colonial Centers sound system, and quite surprised at the huge number of fans in the upper sections that decided to sit the WHOLE SHOW??!! I realize we are in the South, But Come the fuck on!!! This is Pear Jam not Kane West or something (sorry had to take a shot). The lower section fans were rocking and the floor looked insane - we displayed that same emotion on the upper lever to the dismay to those around us. Love PJ - Cant wait for the bootleg as the set list was very good, just hard to follow up two days after the Roo show.
 im sorry Debbie Downer, but were you at the same show as the rest of the Columbia fans?
 nicely put El Kabong and Traces of Humanity. that was certainly a bitter post for such a sweet show.Empty pockets will allow a greater sense of wealth.

            Lots of Stone solos.
 Also mention of Matt Cameron (playing at "Rockafella's") back in the 90's
 Really impressed with Ed these days, seems happy and fronting the band really well. Hasn't lost his touch. Never seen him play a Stratocaster before, he ended up tearing the strings off of it. Pictures anyone? The Betterman pause was hilarious.!
 McCready still showering crowd with picks.
 Cameron ripped it up.
 Boom filled in nicely.
 Poster armbands are a hit!0

            Can I just say, well, words will not suffice. However, I will try 
 Being a southern girl and knowing what a hard time we often get from others, I was a little anxious about what vibe and how much energy the crowd would have at the show. I was so hopeful that SC could bring all of the good feelings to the band so that it will NOT be another 10 years before they come back. It was such a small venue and I kept my hopes up as PJ took the
 stage. We were in row 10 left, so we were surrounded by people so into it which was awesome.
 Well, we sent the feelings, and they ripped it, and I am so grateful to have been a part of the experience that was 6/16/08.
 It was the best PJ show I have ever been to and makes me want to say "Fuck work" and go see/hear more!
 I am just sad that our newspaper reporters cannot articulate their true account of that night and not smooth it over by falsely reporting Eddie wondering if GWB is a fan of USC. Please! Eddie doesn't give a shit what he is a fan of, and neither do I.
 Nonetheless, the setlist was incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 Army Reserve kicked ass..I was moved beyond words. What a message!
 It was a great night..and I appreciate the bands activism. Thank God they care enough to speak up. I want a better world for my child, a world where he can go to a show and have a night like this, and who knows what will happen in 15 years if things continue the way they are.
 I have signed up to volunteer for avaar.org as a result and hope others will too.
 Enough of my ranting 
 Just happy to be a part of the night. Thank you thank you thank you to everyone at the show for the great energy, an unbelievable night, and of course to the boys for being an inspiration ...."darling, you will save me if you save yourself"0

            To start off, this show is probably right behind the Fox Atlanta 1994 show for me. Perhaps one of if not the best moments of this (and any) show is when the lights go off and the band strolls on stage - you can always feel the electricity in the air. The anticipatory buzz of the crowd as they wait just prior to this leaps into energy that you can feel all around you. I was hoping for Long Road (congrats Va Beach) or Release for an opener but Can't Keep was awesome as well. Blasting into Why Go after that really set the stage.
 The sheet/sign being held up down front had 'W.M.A.' on it and for Ed to take that and go for a request was awesome. Present Tense went from the beautiful melodic opening half into the rocking finish as all four guitar just tore it up. Footsteps made the night for me. I heard a bit of Education during sound check when I picked up my tickets - really like that one and the 2nd time I've seen it live. The opening to Porch never disappoints and this one rocked!
 Caught a wristband that Matt threw into the crowd so that was cool. 'Pearl Jam' on one side and 'MC' on the other.
 One of my favorite things about this band is that they genuinely enjoy their shows, they bring it every time, and at the end, they seem just as happy as we are. The smiles on stage during the final bows are priceless.So this is what it's like to be an adult.

            this was my third time seeing pearl jam perform live and it was by far the best time i have ever seen them play.i'm the first to admit i don't know their whole catalog of music.i kind of stopped following them after vitology and only know their music after that through a few live dvds that i have.the first 2 times i saw them where when i lived in new york and their sets were amazing at times but often bogged down with a lot of slower songs and the sets never really meshed like they did on monday.the crowd was electric and the band was amazing.the version they did of porch was BLISTERING!i'm new to the club and the message boards so i don't know their policy on posting links to youtube and all that.we too were in section 105 row 17 and we had a great view.i took a bunch of pics and a good bit of vids.since i don't know if its ok to post the links here i can only say if you want to see them imme and i'll give you the links.i cannot wait to hear the bootleg.it was an amazing show.they better not wait another 10 years before they play here again.just a side note,shows at the colonial center are sceduled to get over by no later then 11:30.so when they came out for "indifference" the house lights were already up and they played the whole song with them on.i had never seen a band do that before.My Nights with PJ
