What was he drinking? lol

In all seriousness, judging from the color and thickness, I would guess a bloody mary...

Iced tea? Im guessing after the comment that he made about drinking toooo much the night prior.....just a hunch

HA...as I was walking out I saw him in the lobby. WTF? I didn't realize he wore that for the whole show. HA. I have to admit that was one of the best behaved crowds at a concert I ever saw. It seemed like the entire place was on the edge of their seats and when people tried to yell other people shushed them and it got super quiet. Actually being able to hear ad understand every word Eddie said was such a treat and the tone during the YL story was very spooky in a way. All I have to say is WOW, and I am not trying to be the...THIS WAS THE BEST SHOW EVER guy that you seem to get after every PJ / EV show but in all seriousness it was phenomenal.

I'd agree, for the most part the crowd was excellent and respectful. There were a few meatheads yelling, but not bad overall. One funny moment happened when this annoying woman kept screeching stuff like "I love you Eddie" and it was really quiet and some dude shouted "SHUT UP!" in a we've heard you, enough is enough tone. Never heard from her again...

been reading some reviews from the show, but didn't get thru them all but i just wanted to state that the YL question was NOT a plant. It came from a guy in the box (first tier) next to me and I talked to him on the way out. He was just a young guy there with a few of his friends and he was so stoked to have gotten his question out and to have gotten that response, obviously not a plant. it was a great moment.

as was arc, blew me away. great story telling, great setlist, amazing night. Thanks EV

That's pretty cool. I did find it bizarre that Ed could even spot the guy in the balcony who had a question. Great question too. Just a classic moment for all the fans. Ed's answer was incredibly moving. I was shocked he even explained it as he's been known to be very guarded over his lyrics.

but what I experienced last night was magical and amazing. I did not know most of the material ( some PJ, the covers and I knew the new stuff) . Having said that, for someone to go to a show that does not know the material, and leave there feeling the way I did is a great testimony to the sheer talent of the artist, I was smiling and in awe the entire night. I feel completely blessed to have been there. I have only seen 1 PJ show and it was too short- when they warmed up for U2 in Hawaii. I was lucky enough to score a single off of another fan. THANK YOU!! The audience was also amazing, great, great energy. Highlights for me were Far Behind, Hard Sun and the cover of Let My Love Open the Door also Society was a real treat with Liam and Eddie. WOW WOW WOW with last night s show. To all the fans that were there, you guys helped rock the house and the enegery, once again can not be explained you just had to be there.

There was some horrible screaming girl next to us and I thought she was gonna ruin the show for me because she wouldn't stop for the first few songs, but after everyone kept yelling at her to "shut the f*** up" she stopped, thank God.

Sorry everyone I never heard FOOTSTEPS and for some reason I thought he would play it on his solo tour.

I loved NJPAC the outside terrace on first or second teir was awesome and that blonde out there was rediculously hot

I cant believe i'm at work right now!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am playing pandora and streaming PJ.... I'm addicted and can't get enough!

Hey, it wasn't you i was complaining about or a hot blonde girl just some drunk girl that wouldn't stop shrieking in the Grand Tier. I mean non stop. Finally she got the hint though.

Was that in the grand tier? That girl was painfully loud, not to mention annoying!

I don't know what I can add to the other comments on last night's show. The theater is beautiful, acoustics were great. The crowd was pretty well-behaved (umm, "Footsteps" Matt, we know you were excited to be at the show, but...). Well, there was a loopy leprechaun in front of us, he was distracting.

Eddie did seem to be in very good humor last night. The "badass m-f'in ukulele" comment was priceless. :-) I thought Eddie's voice sounded just fantastic, and I was so happy that people decided to be quiet during "Guaranteed" and the YL story. I was very impressed by the new song; I kept trying to figure out which song it was -- I could not believe he wrote it at 5:00 yesterday morning!

I thought it was funny that he played "Lukin," although I have come to expect it whenever he says that the next song is a sing-along. My husband was trying his best to sing along, too. :-) I think we both were fighting hard to restrain ourselves from jumping up and bouncing around like maniacs during "Porch." Inside my head, the whole band was playing. :-)

This was the first, and likely only time, out of 9 or 10 times hearing this song live that I was seated. Damn did that feel strange!

AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING show!! From the opening five minute standing ovation to the closing notes of Hard Sun, this was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Both NY shows were great but this one had a little something extra. I think everyone had moments of laughing and crying. In spite of a few idiots who felt the need to hear themselves, you could hear a pin drop during the Yellow Ledbetter story. I love PJ and have been going to their shows since 1993 but this was truly a magical experience. I hope Ed decides to do it again in the future.

Thank you 10C, Eddie & Pearl Jam. Now, PLEASE GIVE US A BOOT OF THIS SHOW!!

Thank you

Yes, in the Grand Tier. Even though she was a section away from us, it was just obnoxious.

My husband and I had a hard time restraining ourselves on that one too

What a great night though! I wanted to ask so many people if they were on the MB since I'm new to it but I was too shy, lol.

I still can't even put in to words how i feel after that show. But everyone has pretty much expressed how i felt too!

Great crowd, amazing show, Unforgettable night!!!

TrixieCat

Sounds like everyone had a really awesome time. I am so happy for you.

I was fortunate enough to see the bootleg clip about the YL story..(shame on you filmer....:p)
What a magical experience for those in attendance.
