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

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.

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.
believe you me, i do believe
Whoa, that'd been awesome to see.
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!!!
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..

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!

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.
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 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!!!
I count 11 songs they played on night 2 that they did not play on night 1...there were only a little more than a handful that they played both nights and those were all either major hits (Even Flow, Black, Corduroy, Betterman) or new songs (WWS, Severed Hand). They need to play some hits for the casual fans there and they need to play the new album to get it "out there".
In what respect was it the same show? Same 5 guys out there playing the music? What, did you want a new drummer for show two? I don't get your complaint.

FUCK THAT DUDE...YOU CANT SIT DOWN BECAUSE SOME BITCH ASKS YOU!!!! I understand, it just sucks all the way around...I find that if your polite you end up sitting down so my answer to this problem is to just go way over the top and be totally outrageous!!! I said earlier some guy asked me to sit...my response was "fuck you, this is a fucking rock concert, you can sit down some where else, and if you insist your going to have to sit me down yourself!!!" Course I'm a pretty big dude and that usually is the end of it..try using that line, it works every time for me! And I suppose it helps to be drunk and big at the same time!
I'm not a violent person at all, only when pushed, and when PJ comes to town I'm not sitting down even if the Lord and Baby Jesus asked me!

Yes I think I read that Ed mentioned it from the stage, if not that night, then the next that Booms mom had died. I read on RM that Ed kept going over and giving Boom hugs and that during Crazy Mary the WHOLE band went over to Booms Piano during his solo. awwwww soo sweet.
My thoughts and prayers are with Boom and his family :(
Long Road - my favorite opener and this was one of the best versions I've ever heard...cannot wait for the boot
WWS - I wouldn't mind hearing this every single show this tour...Ed does such a great job keeping up on the lyrics because it's not the easiest song to sing.
Severed Hand - I said, "YEEEAAAAHHHHH!!"
Not For You - I nearly cried when I read about SK breaking up so to hear the Modern Girl tag again was bittersweet but I loved it.
Insignificance - Ed said how it's about Seattle and Boeing. All I have to say is fuck all you bastards that bash Binaural, this song rocks.
Unemployable - Glad to hear this one live, sounded great. I kinda wish I could hear more than just Ed, Scott (my buddy), and myself singing this one. Being surrounded by TP fans just became too evident during this song.
Even Flow - Certainly not the worst song in the world....Matt's solo seemed kinda plain compared to last night's, which blew me away. But Mike's solo was incredible as usual...starting it out behind his head. Mike's energy is unbelievable. He's my hero.
Gone - Great to hear it live. Much better than his solo attempt in Jersey last year. The full band version just puts so much more into this one and add the live aspect of it and it's classic PJ.
SOLAT - I love it when Ed holds "listen" through the first part of the verse. They could increase the rotation of this one without a single complaint from me, it's such a great song with lots of energy.
Down - This one may or may not have teared me up....I'm not saying. Probably the most meaningful PJ song for me. I've heard it live a few times before but this time meant more for some reason. Also, I love Ed adding a fuck to the line, "I think I'll throw....these fucking pills away."
Wasted Reprise - The most beautiful PJ song within the one minute range (So what if Lukin is the only competitor...). This song is also moving for me....Ed's voice is amazing....makes me want to just make love to him all night long and I'm pretty sure I'm not even gay.
Betterman - Okay, I'm spoiled and unappreciative. I admit it. But I really don't want to hear this song without a tag. It did end in a faster little jam that totally rocked so I really shouldn't complain. And Benmont had a little jam in there too which was great.
Black - Beautiful song with a beautiful ending....Benmont on keys was really good and Ed singing, "We belong together..." made me once again question my sexuality.
Corduroy - Great song but I've kinda had my fill for it live. I kinda feel the same way about it as I do Betterman....if they preface it with Interstellar Overdrive then I certainly wouldn't complain about it but as a stand alone....I'd prefer something else, especially as a closer. Yeah, maybe that's my complaint here....I want a better closer....Go or RVM...or Porch.
- btw, I know this was a short set and all but it was about 70 minutes and it was easily the fastest 70 minutes of my life. I was in disbelief when they left the stage after Corduroy because it went by so quickly.
Come Back - When I first heard Avocado this was the song I kept skipping back too. I love it and was very pleasantly surprised to get to hear it live. Thank you whoever was in the first 10 rows or so that requested it.
Leash - This one again reminded me that I was surrounded by Tom Petty fans. I was singing so loudly then noticed that it was just me....and my buddy....and Ed. But fuck' em. It was amazing. And fuck all you leash haters out there too. Any way you look at it....This song is raw and real and rockin'.
Why Go - Great song and great to hear it live. With the song count I knew there was a good chance they'd end the set with it and I was desperately hoping they would play just one more song......until of course, I found out what that song would be....
So you wanna be a rock and roll star - I just can't get into this song. Ed sounded great but I'm kinda bitter that they ended two great shows with the same shitty song. I did learn my lesson from last night though and I bailed after PJ's set. It just wasn't worth getting more shitty songs in my head only to see Ed dissed by TP's cameraman and low-volumed mic. That Tom Petty sure is something else.....Thank God he looked like he's about had it with this touring busines.
