    I would love for them to release a Toronto 2 DVD. There were just so many wonderful moments during the show. I think it'd be lovely if those of us in the crowd could re-live them, and other fans could have the opportunity to see them.

    It was an incredible night. I just can't get over how awesome of a show it reallly was. Pearl Jam is a great live band, but last night was just something else. There was just a feeling in the air from the get go. I don't think I've ever seen a band so happy on stage and so into it. It was truly amazing, and I am so happy that I was a part of it. I can't wait to hear the bootleg ... and I hope maybe we can have some video at some point as well. Please!!!!! :)

    yeah, what this person says^^

    I was there. Thanks again Pearl Jam!

    Overall, I had an awesome time both nights. I fell in the love with the city of Toronto over the 3 days Krohn and I were there. Night one, I got to hear alot of songs Ive wanted to hear live for the first time. They played Sad which is my favourite PJ song.
    Hanging out at the Moose both days was awesome getting to meet some of you folks was the icing on the cake.

    Night two, wow heh, still trying to find the words for that. Krohn and I had good seats on Mikes side. I happened to look down at the floor when Krohn was trying to find something on the floor, I picked it up and it was Mikes Pick!!

    I heard alot of songs I wanted to hear night 2 (RVM, SOLAT) but was a little disappointed that they didnt play Comatose :(

  • That's a dumb question. Yeah I heard Evenflow. How else can I hear half the crowd behind me groan that they are playing it yet again!?! :rollseyes: When your band can play well over 200 songs you shouldn't have to do a particular song almost every show for the rest of your career. Evenflow is the same every concert except for Mikes solo and it's really the only part of the song I like anymore. I won't even listen to it on the radio. Heck they have reworked songs they hardly play why don't they rework this tired song? I guess then no one would have time for a bathroom/beer break cause that's what the song is to MANY fans now.

    Sorry but the crowd was already way more pumped up on night 2 than on night 1. The whole crowd was doing the wave before Pearl Jam even went on. That didn't happen night one. Also way before Evenflow Ed even said that the crowd was "better that last night". So did you hear and see the show I was at because it sound like you are talking about Toronto last year?

    I'm not trying to be negative. Well, maybe I am. Who knows? What about Yellow Ledbetter to end it? Okay, I see it didn't happen in Albany. Alright!

    [size=+1]It was just so darn wonderful...I was thrilled with it!!!![/size] :D

    Severed Hand, Lowlight, You Are, Crazy Mary, A little bit of Cinnamon Girl, a little bit of Beast of Burden, Marker in the Sand, it was almost enough to make a girl swoon!!! :D

  • I'm not sure if it was mentioned but Ed's daughter was side stage at the start of the show and Ed kept looking over at her with a big grin on his face when he was singing the first few songs. The show was awesome, crowd energy was great. Now I have to wait until Boston to see them again

    How awesome was Low Light? I was so excited. I haven't been to many shows myself, but I know they rarely played Low Light, and felt so lucky when they began to play it. It was awesome! :) So many wonderful moments that night. I can't wait to hear Eddie laughing through YL and then joining Mike when he starts to play Beast of Burden. :)

    Excellent!!! I can't wait to hear it. My thesis is due tomorrow, and my reward is to smoke a J and listen to the bootleg. It's great motivation to get this damn thing done.
    No time to be void or save up on life. You got to spend it all.

    Does the band usually play the same song on both nights of a city? This year is the first time I'm going to both Camden shows and wanted to hear different songs every night; but I see there were some repeats in Toronto.

  • This show was my third concert, my first two were in September and this one was by far the best! Our seats were in the lower bowl, Row 12 on Mike's side of the stage. Although my first PJ show had a better view of the band as a whole, what I enjoyed the most this time around was watching Mike, since I often pay more attention to Eddie. I had never noticed how much energetic Mike is once the show really gets started! I was only a little dissapointed that there were no tambourines thrown and not many drum sticks, as my seats were in the perfect spot to catch some! The laghter in Ledbetter was endearing...there were lots of times throughout the show when i was cracking up as well! Overall I thought this show had an awesome setlist and a great crowd! I was delighted to hear some of my favourites: Low Light, Crazy Mary, Indifference, Black, Release, Dissident, Man of the Hour. Im a sucker for the slow songs but it was a lot of fun to rock out with thousands of people...we all got our moneys worth and i wont soon forget those three amazing hours!

    All the way from the maritimes.....2 shows......10C tickets.......one hell of a setlist.....and one hell of a crowd!!!!!
    Two memorable nights, night 2 especially! Who knows when I'll see them again but I'll have these amazing memories to hold me over until then. Perfect performance! Icing on the cake was having a couple first timers, young guy and girl, in the seats next to me. They bought me a beer and shared a J.....thank you! It will always bring a smile to my face when I remember looking over at the guy and seeing his hands to his face, him jumping up and down, during betterman and RVM. They were absolutely blown away beyond belief by the boys on stage as was I again! Worth every penny (and it was alot)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Toronto, you rock!:D:D

    I agree 100% The Even Flow on Wednesday was the best Ive seen. The energy and the band it was like all of it was rehearsed, everybody was just in tune with eachother. Mike fucking OWWWNED that solo and then Ed didnt even sing the last verse he let us audience members take it home.

    I turned to my buddy [who I go to all my PJ shows with, and we have both been die-hards since 'Ten', and we are both on the 'its only worth it for mike' list] and we were both in awe. I said "I finally 'got' Evenflow, WOW!!" he said "Yeah Wow, thats was amazing, I think thats my new favourite song"

    Thats how good Eflow was on night 2!!

    I couldnt agree more!!! I admit to being one of the people who let out the "uggh" when the started Evenflow again on night 2,but after it was over i think i almost came in my pants!!! WoW! I also turned to my buddy who is a die-hard like me and i said " thats the reason Evenflow gets played almost every night!! " It really kicked ass and you could feel the intensity in the crowd and the band after that!

  • Back in Brooklyn now after toronto 2/albany... I can't explain how it feels.. I'll try. I'm different some how. I'm an old lady with a husband/baby/career, and I'm following this band around (well, 5 shows) like a dead head. And now after these past 2 (same post on albany thread) I'm introspective - feeling like I need to satisfy my creativity. I've gotten caught up in this great life and forgot that my soul needs to be soothed and inspired. And oh, my, god, am I inspired.

    You've read all the great moments, the solos, the tunes... but I must say that after hum... 15? shows since '95... I'm in awe. These guys are so talented, so much fun.

    In toronto I was front row. FRONT FUCKING ROW. Right in front of Mike. 10C, I love you. I was with my husband and surrounded by awesome people (Brian/Michelle, Oliver/Evie) and we danced our asses off. My throat was so sore that my 9 month old daughter didn't recognize me when I got home, my calves were so tight that I couldn't walk the next 2 days, and I have random bruises all over my body. I think I was possessed. Someone mentioned that it felt like a living room? My god, with only security in front of me, it felt like I was in their rehearsal space! And security up front was amazing. (Rocket, hats off to you my friend for treating those guys with so much respect. Thank you - remember to watch Little Einsteins!) Ed passed his wine our way, I'd like to think to me, but that's selfish :) I did grab it first because I'm a germafobe and normally wouldn't swill from a random's bottle, but like I said, I was possessed. It was lovely wine, actually. But I could've drank anything at that point, I was so thirsty. But I digress. Everyone around us said the show was so much better than night 1, we didn't go. All I know is that they were explosive, tight, amazing, and just, well, happy to be there. As was I. Thanks from the bottom of my heart (Holy Crap!) Toronto-ians are a wonderful people to see the show with. I did feel terrible though when the cab driver put down our country on the way to the airport, terrible because I couldn't agree more.

    So I figured Albany would be a great show, that my seats wouldn't be as great being in my home state, but that the magic of toronto was solely due to my front row-ness. Surprise surprise.... I had 3rd row in front of Stone and the people in front of me didn't rock out (how some could not feel it is beyond me), so I had a 'front row view'. I brought one of my best friends who hadn't seen PJ since Jones Beach, and never a show from up close. He's a changed boy. OK, so again, the set, the moments, etc... one I'd like to point out that I had Rats written on my arm and it was played. Am I the freak? I hope so! ....here's what the night was... the night (as in all pearl jam shows, I've come to realize) is comparable to a big orgy. Seriously... down there, in the closeness of the band, with the amps beating music in our hearts, our energy swirls up in the air and mingles with the music, and flirts with all the other energy until it's this explosive give and take. The band must feel it. I know I give everything I have to these shows, throw it out and up because it's contagious to feel that good without any chemicals. After every song, I'm catching my breath, my knees are shaking, my heart and mind are pure childish exhiliration. It's a private ride, shared with strangers whom you may never see again, but leave feeling like you are a part of (including the group).

    OK, sorry for the flourishes. It's late and I'm waiting for my boots to download, and tomorrow is back to the routine. I just wanted to share these thoughts before they fade, before subway rush hour and pushy marketing people steal my energy and keep it. Luckily I have Philly and the 2 NJ shows to look forward to. Pearl Jam/10C, you are amazing. I'm forever your girl.

    homewardangel - I'm truly sorry for the loss of your friend, Deborah.

    Friends, enjoy every show. I'll look forward to your fanviews. Cheers!

    Just had to say my "two words", regarding 05/10/06 my dream concert!!!!! Not my first not my last. I must say Eddie and the boys love us Canucks and I think that was more than "felt", last Tues. and Wed. nights.

    The only thing we London girls were dissapointed in was not seeing Nathan back at the Loose Moose. See you in Grand Rapids?
    Peace,

    I stood in the best section of the house beside a lovely woman who was on her own for the night. She let me stand beside her and I'm forever grateful as the usher was going to boot me out of said section (Corporate boxes are in this area).I bought a 25.00 rearview(mirror) ticket but wanted to stand in good spot. Got my wish. Show was fantastic. Best I've seen them. Crowd AMAZING. New stuff sounded great. Wish I'd heard Gone or Inside Job but that's a small quibble with a two hour and forty five min. show that was brilliant from start to end. Thank to everyone I met that night that was good to me and damn I wish I'd gotten that girl's # She was a total fan and I thought "wow imagine a whole night of wine. PJ discussion and who know what else with this girl" . If by some miracle she reads this get a hold of me somehow??? What a night!

    Seeing Pearl Jam live is ALWAYS amazing and also somewhat of "spiritual" experience for me. All Toronto shows have of course been wonderful, but this was truly a very special night. A perfect combination of great songs and a magical energy from both the band and the fans.

    PS
    I agree with Two Birds, it would have been great to see Nathan again after the show!

    Apparently Stone said something to Eddie that made him laugh just as he was about to start singing, and he couldn't stop for the first bit of YL. It was very endearing!

    What song did Eddie fall of the speaker/light fixture? I can't seem to remember.

    After Fuckin' Up he says, "One last toast to Uncle Neil!", as in Neil Young, since Fuckin' Up is his song. As for the end of Alive.....that one comes for a fee! lol......no really I have no idea, gotta listen to the bootleg again...like I need an excuse anyways.
