funny shit is afterwards me and bathy took the subway back and there was a homeless guy sprawled out on the floor and the MTA cleaning crew kept poking him with his broom and nothing! lol so finally the guy said something and the cleaning guy guess got fed up and left
and I turn and say to bathy...3 million huh? is that even gonna put a dent in this city? :rolleyes: it sucks cause our homeless situation here is outta control.
otherwise I had a blast, great show, energy and setlist and good to see so many familiar faces
Aah, fuck it, I’m just gonna go home, turn on the fuckin’ TV...

I have a feeling you're being sarcastic with that "LOL" and that's fine.
I just can't imagine paying the money you all paid (I don't know if you specifically, paid any money to get your ticket. I am talking in general) to see Masters of War, Harvest Moon and Sleight of Hand. All three I've seen live over the years. Now, WASH as an opener...that's a whole different story :-)
I'm glad you all help raised all that money for charity though.
the last sentence is the most important
and as a lifelong ny'er this band in this venue has been a dream fulfilled
anyone who says that doesnt make a significant difference,
i would say they are as sharp as my bowling ball.
enough said.,

Rarities? Undone is about as rare as my dog taking a dump...
That show was a joke! Only 27 songs? Why not 47?
this band just doesnt know what charity is!!
finally someone else w/ the same sentiment
this site is becoming more fascist - God forbid you have a contrarian opinion
But you can't make statements like
"Beacon has no curfew" and "we're gonna play all night" and "this city is special to us and it's the last night of our tour" ... etc etc
and then only do 27
i admit we're spoiled but a 2hr 20min show is barely cause for excitement when i saw two kick-a$$ shows at msg the week before
yeah - we're spoiled - but we're pearl jam fans here and we're not talking about madonna (someone who charges $250 for an hour set)
the vibe was cool and the sound at the beacon is sick (as always)
but show was short pure and simple
maybe something to do w/ his voice and needing "steroids" as he said
but expected more for the amount of money that was raised, etc.

The person you share the same sentiment with was clearly being sarcastic, evident by the little face and to keep with the theme of this thread..so I am to assume that you too are being sarcastic, but the lack of at the end is throwing me a bit ..
'I want to hurry home to you
put on a slow, dumb show for you
and crack you up
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
god I'm very, very frightening
and I'll overdo it'
Wow, you long time PJ fans are spoiled ! 2 hours and 20 minutes of awesome rock and roll, it does not get much better then that !
As a long time casual PJ fan and seeing them for the first time ever these last 2 weeks, here is some perspective ...
I love Van Halen, I saw them this year for the first time , went to 6 shows, I loved every minute of it. But the set list was EXACTLY the same for every show ( 1 song dropped at end of tour). Imagine that , every night the same set list , on this PJ site people are complaining about 7 or 8 repeats, how about 25 repeats a night ?
I have seen U2 about 15 times over the years , I love them too, but I remember some shows being only 1 hour and 45 minutes sometimes, not every time , but have left some of those shows feeling a bit empty.
So enjoy what you got , as an outsider just stepping inside , those PJ shows I went to were unbeliavable !
Great set, but terrible crowd. The girl next to me wouldn't shut up about making post show plans during GTF. It was a cool little show and I definitely am glad I went, but it was no Vic.
3 million dollars? How much money did PJ put into that? certainly the tickets alone couldn't have even raised $100,000.
huh???
tix were 2500k for the priciest seats, $250 for the cheapest. i am guessing pj did not take one cent for their performance, and probably paid their crew out of their own pockets so it cost the foundation nada to host.
said 3 million in one night - most they ever raised there, so let's yua know the rolling stones at the beacon last year did not perform entirely gratis. just yet another reason i LOVE this band and what they do. soooooooooo glad i got to be a part of such a special evening in support of a kickass NYC organization.
anyone else a bit over the copies of ten....? kinda made me chuckle.
solat - it ain't no irving plaza either...but didn't matter. personally, i can't compare it to ANY other show b/c it just isn't in the same category. perhaps if i attended beneroya or something like that, but even then...did they have tix at $2500k each? the show was about raising $$$....so i am unbelievably grateful for the rarities we did get and the love and energy they brought to the beacon.
btw - anyone else feel the balcony shaking/vibrating towards the end of the show?! amazing energy up there!
Just because it's a small venue, it's supposed to be the best? I'd like to disagree.
You can disagree all you want to - a more intimate setting yields a much more personal and interesting show. No question- go yourself and try out 2,000 vs 18,000. This isnt rocket science . Surely you can figure it out , friend .
And you probably stop and think before judging someone's intelligence.
People in glass houses shouldnt throw stones , pal . You not only quoted me , but you responded and violated the TOS on these forums. Its okay , we all make mistakes. :rolleyes:
Also, I usually don't make any deal out of misspelled words, since I misspell sometimes too. We all do. However, since you're basically calling me stupid in that post, I guess it gives me the right to make fun of your spelling ability. It's not SHAREP dumb ass it's SHARP.
If the shoe fits, wear it .:rolleyes:
I did not quote or address you ( that is until i saw your eloquent response :rolleyes: )
I'm almost 100% positive that my spelling could easily keep up with , if not completely outdo , your spelling skills , with the greatest of ease . :rolleyes:
Do yoiu really think i couldnt spell sharp ?
Its called a typographical error , you douchenozzle.
Oh wait...one more: after "enough said" a period AND a comma??? NICE! ;-P
yeah , okay .

Well not sure the ticket breakdown but if you had 500 tickets each at $2500, $1000, $500 and $250 - that is over 2 million right there.
