Hell yeah it was. Throw in 2 more songs and the St. Paul setlist was better.

Edit: What a waste of great crowd in Cincy. A great chance for a killer make-up show.

i couldn't agree more

the crowd was so ready for a kick ass show....
it was obvious from the opening note of Long Road

i'm not quite sure what happened here to tell you the truth

i am still a little suprised and confused by the show we got

i am not complaining just more than a little suprised

by the looks of that soundcheck the west coast is in in for a treat

Surprised and confused is exactly the way I felt. I was really dumbfounded about how plain the set was with such an amazing crowd. You'd think Ed would have realized how great the crowd was and wrote some killer encores. Didn't happen. It's happened before though.

in my experience I think the greatest hits shows have better crowds.... even with the huge diehard following PJ has I bet 75% of the crowd doesn't know Down or Long Road but they all know Even Flow.

well i think Ed was feeling no pain whatsoever by the time the encores rolled around so maybe that was a factor....who knows

and i would be lying if i said i wasn't a little disappointed by the show we got

though i do feel very fortunate to have been part of that pumped up crowd
i am still suprised by the setlist....usually the band feeds off the crowds energy and your are right.....it just didn't happen here and i'm not sure why

Yeah, I thought Cleveland's crowd wasn't anything to write home about, and then the band comes out with a killer 2nd encore. Go figure.

one thing that baffles me.....

the setlists for the last 2 shows in GRAND RAPIDS....

WTF did GRAND RAPIDS do to get these types of setlists??

the setlist from this years GRAND RAPIDS show is just mind boggling.....

Yeah, it was hard for me to believe, but I enjoyed the Grand Rapids show in '04 more than the Toledo show with Neil. That's a 26 song set that has it! Kicking myself for not going to the '06 show, especially with what happened with the TC seating.

Envy me!

I'm not sure why everyone thought Cincy would get some amazing show. It stinks that you missed out in '03, but the Yield campaign was a little too much. I've been to Cincinnatti, and besides Skyline chili, it's nothing to write home about. Maybe if the band just doesn't enjoy it's time in a city, they don't go out of their way to play an amazing show?

Really, who do you guys think you are, Boston?

Boston? You're going to brag that you live in Boston? You all live in New York's shadow. You're nothing, which deep down inside is what all Boston folks realize. That's why you feel the need to brag about your city and pump yourselves up. The Boston complex.

You are out of your fucking mind and way off base.

Boston is a great city with incredible culture. Something of which you have no understanding of.

If so many people talk about Boston then I highly doubt it's a complex. Perhaps it could be that Boston is just a fun city and you live in a shit hole!

Boston is a shithole of assholes who cant Yankees Suck at Pearl Jam concerts and have still not come to the realization that goatees are not cool not oly now but ever.

A bunch of jackasses who never grew up.

Arg ... I hate these teaser soundchecks that are followed up by standard setlists. Ed's probably laughing to himself, too ... "Yeah, you guys thought you'd get All Those Yesterdays ... Damn, I love my job ..."

Never grew up? You just used the phrase "shithole of assholes"

July 11, 2003. That's all I have to say to anyone else who wants to talk shit about Boston on a Pearl Jam board.

It's true. I was at all three Boston shows in 2003 and undoubtedly, the loudest it got was for "Jeremy."

I don't care. I'd rather have a loud crowd for "Rats" than an insanely loud crowd for "Jeremy."

heather13

Do you have the complete list of what PJ soundchecked? I was there for part of it and I heard: All Those Yesterdays, Rats, Love Boat Captain... What else did they check?

NothinGBetteRPJMaN

I am WAY cooler than both of you! I mean I am soo cool my mom even told me so! I live in Boston so I must be cooler than you. Pearl Jam played a song in Boston that they didn't play in your city so I am WAY cooler than you!
(I don't really live in Boston read it sarcastically)

Seriously you guys sound like fuckin five year olds. I am tired of people thinking they are better than someone else since their city got a better show in your opinion. Especially people from Boston seem to think they are the Gods. Who the fuck cares!?
