Another great show. PJ came on promptly at 7:30 to a little "inside job" theme music. A few repeats from 7/2, but no one was complaining. No Lost Dog moments tonight, but I swear that was the sweetest E-Flo I have ever heard. Mike was ripping it up behind the back and Matt got an awesome little drum solo to boot. I would get ahold of the bootleg just for that. SOLAT was super tight. Not my faves, but Gone and Come Back were well received. I'm no audiophile, but the sound still sounded a little off. Particularly when Mike was soloing.

Bring on Vega$. These Denver show were like starving yourself for a week and having a nice steak yanked right from under your nose.

Wait who is Benmont Tench? Was Boom not there?

Just got back from the show.. Much better set than last night, but the band gave both cowds a great perfomance. Mcready and Ament fed off eachother all night and put on a hell of a show.

Long road was its typical nice opener. Then they went with three straight hard hitters (Severed Hand has just become a classic. amazing to see a song convert new fans right in front of your face)

Best version of Insignificance i have ever heard... bar none..

Unemployable was great live.. Had a blast singing with my wife..

Evenflow was nuts.. i know its a pee song and we have all heard/seen it a 100 times.... but Mcready and Camron just went off tonight.. Huge guitar and drum solos.. Really showed you how much better a BAND pearl jam is as compared to TP and the HB..

SOLAT was great, some new hooks and transitions i have never heard before..
Betterman has just become an work of art.. They took the entire crowd from an acapella sing along, to the enrire crowd jumping up and down screaming along by the end of the song.. Really incredible to watch the guys work a crowd.

Black and Corduroy were incredible.. Always love the "We belong together" tag, no matter how eddie sings it.. Mcready again was phenomenal on both songs. You could tell he was having a blast (Campbell must be so jealous)

Comeback and Leash were great tunes to begin an encore, but they left me hanging (again) with So You Want To Be A Rock N Roll Star

i was so hoping for porch after Why Go got me in a 10 vibe.. (would have loved the reworked Garden as well)


The biggest thing i take away from the show was just how much better PJ was than petty.. By the middle of the Petty set half the crowd sat down.. no shit, it was sad to see.. Then Eddie comes on for Waiting.. (which BY THE WAY it was great!! )

Vedder sang 90% of the song, as petty sat back and only did background vocals..

It was amazing the once "dead" crowd was all of a sudden on their feet and the place rocked!
Then eddie leaves the stage.. Petty pulls out "It's good to be king" The crowd sits right back down.

Rinse... repeat..


All and all a great show.. i could have used another 15 pearl jam songs..

long live the heart breakers.. bring on the solo shows!

He's Tom Petty's keyboardist...Boom's mother was ill or passed away...something tragic...he's in Hawaii

On "Black", I love how Eddie teases the crowd knowing that we are hoping for the "we belong together" tag. Tonight as the song winds down he's got his back to the mic slowly creeping away, only to do a sudden 180 and start belting it out. Is it just me and the beers, or is that how it really happened?

Its crazy to hear another "tortured" fan go through the same thing i did.. I was so dissapointed last night to not get the We Belong Together tag... They really were so sharp tonight.

As for me not tortured....but damn happy after this 2 night run in Denver. But I loved that tag!

To close it all out, PJ joined TP & the Heartbreakers to Dylan's "Rainy Day Women."

What a finish; they did not disappoint.

Thanks guys...

Do you all think Booms Mom passing (earlier hypoth) was why they were so damper for Milwaukee 1?

WAY BETTER petty vibe than last night.... we also got Leash, SOLAT, Come Back, and Gone, Ed on American Girl and The Waiting, and the TP encore was Rainy Day Women with full PJ AND TPHB. I very much like Benmont on the keys, he has a great sound and I thought he added nice touches to the end of Black both nights, as well as the other tunes.

Pearl Jam was much more loud and fast than last night it felt, and TP was just far more into things than last night. Crowd had very strong energy too...

Rainy Day Women was great, Matt Cameron on acoustic guitar, Stone playing tambourine, and everyone just having a good time.

Sorry, not too well spoken right now... it was a great night, and a great couple shows to open my little tour. Can't wait til next week in Cali.

Thanks to Jeff (saw/things/clearer) for the extra ticket for our friends...

BTW... anyone know if there was an Ames poster for this? The merch lady told me they had a different poster tonight that sold out in 5 minutes but I never got a glimpse or even heard word of it.... I did get a Klausen, but I don't think it is a particularly pretty one.

I do consider myself lucky to have been there. The audience drowned Ed on every 'everybody must get stoned.'

If only it could magically appear on the boot. Please, 10c...please....

I disagree with the everyone was sitting down part. I was about 3/4 the way back on the floor and no one sat anywhere around or in front of me the entire show. Pearl Jam was awesome as usual, and to be honest, I really enjoyed Petty too. Don't get me wrong, I still want more Pearl Jam and I'm going to both LA shows for that. But seriously, I guess I didn't realize how many really good songs Petty has had over the years, pretty amazing when you hear hit after hit and songs that pretty much everyone in the arena can sing along to.

That being said, bring on LA!!!

I saw PJ from 10th row, then traded my tickets with a young couple and moved back to 5th row lower bowl to sit with some friends..

Of course no one sat on the floor. but all along the lower bowl people would sit down for long stretches during TP's slower songs..

Great set list I thought, I dont think I've seen Jeff quite this way before. I think someone mentioned it from Sunday's review, I didn't notice until last night...Man he's an animal all of a sudden!

I will tell you I thought the crowd wasn't near as energetic as Sunday's show...not even close. But I will say this; I gave my 10c seats to my mom and dad as they were in town and wanted to see the show, I bought tickets from a scalper at the 300 level, decent and at a huge discount. The show was no where near as packed as Sundays show. I bought 49 dollar face for 20 bucks a piece. The crowd at the 300 level was bogus (most of them), all sitting down, one guy almost got his ass kicked by asking me to sit down. The type of fan that when he realizes the bands playing Daughter he lets out a horse cry and stands up to rock that one song..yeah that fucking guy, and if you were that guy in section 326 you should do us all a favor, have a few drinks then drive home! The sound up top isnt so great also, the echo from the back wall isn't the best.

Anyway, I thought it was a great show, Petty played the exact set list as last night, I did loose a little respect for him. And why the fuck are you touring before your album hits the stores? I still haven't figured that out. While Petty was on I hit the pisser and said "exact same set list as last night you have to be fucking kidding me." And three dudes all turn around andask "shut up, no way...does PJ come back on stage at all!?!" Of course Ved comes out for the two familar tunes and they all say they'll stay for that.

Also WAY SHITTY THE POSTERS WERE EXACTLY THE SAME...Not even a color change? Why did that happen??? I've never seen that before?

Whatever, I had a great two nights with these guys, they are rocking hard and also gave mention that touring with the heartbreakers have given them insight on how to rock for another 15 years together etc. What a great two nights, thanks from Denver!

Wow, Im sorry, but Night 2 was the same fucking show as Night 1, and I was disappointed. As were most people sitting near me on the floor. I love PJ more than most things in my life , but that was the first time I walked out of a PJ show, feeling hurt and a bit ripped off. And Dear Tom Petty, you are a legend, but your not Jesus ,chill with the Jesus lights on you walking around with your arms out like your the fucking Pope! that was half sickening. Side note, IMO, Pettys band blew Pearl Jam away on night 2. I mean, on a shortened set, there were alot of repeat songs that anyone who has seen Pearl Jam 8 + times or so didnt need to hear . Call me ungrateful , thats fine, but I feel a bit empty, in my spirit and wallet.
Next time Ill save the 400$ and spend 80$ for one show, get a full 2 hour + show, and not get robbed.
And dont bash me, Ive been a die hard fan since 92...so save it.

Thanks to this board I knew two things going into the 7/3 show – that PJ was going to go on very close to 7:30 p and that they would most likely play for about ninety minutes. What I did not expect, however, was how they were going to blow me away during that short time period.

I had last seen them at the April Fool's show in 2003 at Pepsi Center. When listening to that bootleg, disc one is good but disc two is off – not sure if it was the altitude, the wine or the fact that Denver was the first stop of that leg of the tour. Either way last night far exceeded any expectations I had.

It was nice to hear Long Road and SOLAT, as well as Down from "Lost Dogs." Clearly Ed changed things up a bit during the set as he could be seen running around telling the others what was up, and then announcing that there was a slight change in plans. At one point (I think it was after Evenflow) Ed introduced Mike and Matt and then waxed poetic about how he admired TP&HB for having been at it for thirty years.

Ed said that for PJ to have been together for half that time was due to the fact that they were all "best mates." He said that some of them were more difficult than others, then raised his hand over his own head and pointed down. Either he failed to introduce Jeff and Stone (do they really need an introduction?) or I missed it. He then said they would try for another fifteen years.

As for Tom Petty, he is a strange dude. The set was relatively mellow and he kept raising his arms and marching around the stage after nearly every song! I kept trying to figure out who the crowd was there to see. The arena was not very full when PJ took the stage which would indicate a Petty crowd. But then it seemed that Ed had to goad the crowd into cheering for Benmont Tench (who filled for the missing Boom) which would tend to indicate a PJ crowd.

I had read some complaints about the sound during the 7/2 show. I thought the sound for PJ was great. Petty's mic seemed really low during his set and they kept messing around with Ed's mic during American Girl (he spent most of the time shredding tambourines, so the mic thing was only slightly irritating) and Rainy Day Woman, but it was fine during The Waiting as Ed sang almost the whole song.

Both bands returned to the stage for Rainy Day Woman. If I am not mistaken Matt and Jeff had acoustic guitars, Stone had a tambourine, Mike had his electric and Ed, well, he was just trying to sing through a mic that was turned way too low!

Overall it was a great show. Man I want to go to Vegas!

I don't see how people are saying that this show was a disapointment? It was not the same as Sunday's show and I felt the energy was so much stronger.

I wasn't happy with my 10c seats at first, sec DDD row 17. I had better seats the night before (although I was shocked that people around me had purchased their tixs from TicketBastards, so how "special" were these 10c seats?) but hey, at least I got decent seats, right?

Anyway, I can't bitch too much about Monday's show. My friend had seats in row 10, dead center. I was able to see the first 3 songs from there and got some great pics and if weren't to my crappy 10c seats, I wouldn't have meet Mike M. He was in the sound booth during TP. I couldn't believe my eyes. I was frantically looking for my sharpie in my bag. Needless to say, I got the personalized autograph and a picture.

Oh and by the way, I asked about Hawaii... it will be a reality!!! It looks like I'm headed home!!!

My husband's a convert. He REALLY wanted to hear SOLAT. I've wanted to hear Breath for years and years. He got SOLAT at his third concert - and an abbreviated one, at that! Bastard!
