Official Camden 1 Setlist Thread

Gators76 · May 2006

Its funny how the setlist gets bitched about and scrutinized. I have been fortunate enough to see PJ 3 times in 15 years (9/96 Toledo, 4/03 Cleveland, 4/03 Pittsburgh). Coming out of the Toledo show I was a bit dissappointed because everything was played SOOO fast. I thought the Cleveland show was PERFECT for what I wanted to hear. The next night in Pittsburgh I thought was a good show BUT Cleveland was better for my personal setlist. HOWEVER, with some song overlapped naturally, I was able to hear the ones I wanted to hear that were not played the previous night.

I dont know where I am going with this because I have had some drinks, so I guess my point is just be happy you get to see what you saw. 3 years ago I wouldnt be on a message board reading about what setlists were played so I would show up "blind"

I go to a PJ concert with about 10 songs I would like to hear and they can do the rest the way they want to

BTW.....I just bought my Vegas tickets (section 211 Row H) It will be my first concert since moving to Vegas........done ranting....gonna go open more wine

Wow. I'm hoping that this a "philly fans will bitch about anything" thing more than a "PJ fans will bitch about anything" issue.

Too many "Hits"? What, they shouldn't play anything people like?

Bland encores? Yeah, well, they did just play that Leash song last night. How repetitive. And you got Come Back. And Alive as a set closer. Fucking Alive!!!

Evenflow? How anyone could complain after watching Mike solo on even flow.... I've been to 16 shows. I'm 16 for 16 with Evenflow. I can't wait to hear it Thursday night

Some of you people make me sick. it's like you want 33 new songs every night

I love PJ and have been weary of this board....i was afraid i might bump into "bored" PJ fans.......and here they are....

anywho, this may yet be my last post ever and i am sure y'all will be glad to hear that,

but WMMR reported that there were 27,200 in attendance, which I found near impossible, but they repeated themselves about 4 times. With those numbers, how can they NOT play to undoubtedly thousands of first timers.

Yes, forgive me, I said SHut up and sing Eddie during the DNA thing....

Yes, I yawned a bit during EVEN FLOW, right up until Mike McCready took over, as usual.

I knew not that Leash was played in Boston, but when it ripped, it was like a gravity bomb went off and Eddie became a fucking vacuum cleaner. I had an aisle seat center left loge, and muther fuckers were running, hell, FLYING to try to get closer. And it shook me silly too, I wound up swing my fucking arms out whackng my poor wife in the nose!...(she forgave me- ...she was too busy shouting her ass off to notice!)

the national anthem thing? very interesting, very well played...the philly true blues were trying to sing the fucking song but Mike had different plans as to when the next verse would actually start....

PS...it was a typical CAMDEN show,..very heavy tailgate...all day..memorial day...also, the weather was surprisingly HUMID and very warm (85+)...Eddie had a towel over his head i think right after DTE, losing his jacket and a shirt I believe early early on...I think it cost them a bit later....

Finally, fuck plz forgive the newbie rant, FUCKING SEVERED HAND is TOOOOO CRAZY COOL....cya in about 12 hours back there....and yeah it will be another warm one...............

whateverman · May 2006

I sure wish I could have been there and if I was I wouldn't be bitching about shit!

Songburst · May 2006

Leash is now a staple. Take that you fuckin setlist whiners. Hahaha.

Edit: BTW I'm sure it was a GREAT show. Tomorrow Will be sweet too.

Hubcap · May 2006

bunch or whiners waaaahhhhhh weak set. Come on they rocked out. Its Pearl Jam for gods sake...Loved the show.

jchais01 · May 2006

The show was AMAZING.....a big "Eff-U" to anyone who doesn't agree! :-D

AWESOME!!!!!!!

They would have said differently if they were AT the show!

That's how I felt about Detroit...

No one paid attention until the 2nd encore. :rolleyes:

I loved the ENTIRE show!

Glad you had a great time!

If you are going tonight - have a blast!!!

GarrettSocling · May 2006

i feel all of those '10 Club' members who left before Pearl Jam left the stage ought to have their fucking cards revoked.

For fucks sake, you leave early at a blowout sports event.

You don't leave early at a Pearl Jam concert...

The show was fine. The played a lot of staples, but thats why they called them staples. I thought they really did a good job. I was really impressed with how tight Comatose was. I felt like they should have played Severed Hand twice: once when everyone was still settling in, and once later (after porch?) once everyone was settled in.

Again, I felt BAD for Pearl Jam that fucking 10c members ahead of me were leaving. A couple dozen at least.

The lights were up, don't think the band didn't see you giving them the big old one finger salute...

Notes from the show. Ten Club #138xxx got me 10th row Stone's side.

Gone was awesome. Ed seemed really into it and there were a lot of people inside to see it. Looked like almost all the seats were filled and some of the lawn although a lot of people still vanished for MMJ.

Wasted Reprise/Life Wasted was a nice opener.

Ed totally botched the first verse of Given to Fly and then gave up. He picked it up again in time for the first chorus and it was fine from then on.

Before I Am Mine Ed said the song was about freedom.

Somewhere during the main set Ed did a monologue that debated whether we were in Philly or Jersey and settled on Camden.

The crowd was really into Why Go, I couldn't even hear Ed singing.

Modern Girl was tagged on Not For You, WMA tagged on Daugter.

Porch had the slow intro with Ed on guitar.

The crowd sang the whole first chorus of Betterman.

Comeback was great live. The crowd seemed really into it.

Before Last Kiss Ed mentioned that they had made donation to some organization that helps free wrongly incarcerated people with DNA testing. He then brought a few of these guys on stage and they played Last Kiss with the band. They sounded pretty good, one could really sing. The speach Ed gave took a long time though and the crowd didn't seem to know how to react.

Before the second encore Ed said "We just realized its Saturday night and we have no where else to go so we're going to keep playing." leading to SOLAT.

Leash was a lot of fun live. I was not one of the people really interested in having this song resurface but it was solid and the crowd loved it. Once it ended Ed sort of made a gesture like "Happy now?" to the front row.

Ed played guitar and tamborine on Free World at times and the guys I talked about during Last Kiss returned to the stage to beat tamborines.

Other notes: Ed smoked a lot of cigarettes during the show. I counted at least 6. Don't know how he does it and sing like that every night.

The crowd seemed to know the new songs really well although I was amongst the fan club so its tough to tell what was really happening on the lawn.

Mrs.Vedder78 · May 2006

LowLight 23 I think I would have explained it the same way.

This show was sick, not co much because of the songs (which were unbelievable btw) but because the crowd was AWESOME they were so into the new songs and they were singing at the top of their lungs.
Alive was really good with the crowd's participation and so was Why Go.

Comeback was breathtaking, it was my highlight of the show! I hope I hear it again in the 3 shows I have left!

This show was a real crowd pleaser and it was really really good, I didnt really think that they would play Leash to be honest, but when they started playing almost at the end of the show people just lost it around me, I was really excited though I was really going insane about since the "losing my marbles songs" would be In Hiding.

The show was really good and it seemed as if they played forever, the second encore was amazing, Blood, Comatose, Leash, well it was just great ...

Im really looking forward to tonight's show, I think we are in for a real treat!

Oh! and I got my poster

(just a note for those of you who knew I was going to be bummed if I didnt get one ... lol )

Cheers
Urs,

yahamita · May 2006

DAMN!!! check out that 2nd encore~!

kosteva2 · May 2006

I thought the show was OK. Not the best I've seen, but not the worst. Life Wasted/Reprise works well for an opener. Porch was probably the best version I've seen. Present Tense was great also, even though it seemed much of the crowd didn't know the lyrics on the singalong part. The first encore was a bit of a downer. The songs were a little too "slow." The second encore made up for it though. Leash was great live and well worth the wait. Mike's Star Spangled Banner solo at the end of YL was great too. I would've liked to have heard more B-sides/covers. It was a good show for those who wanted the "crowd-pleaser" songs (Jeremy, Betterman, Alive, Daughter, Elderly Woman, etc.).

I agree with most of your points Kosteva, but get ready to be ripped for your comments. It seems like if you don't make a 100% positive post, they rip you for it. I expected more when I first came to this board, like maybe a little bit of objectivity. Guess I was wrong.

Leash was played for only the 2nd time in 12 years, I'd say that is pretty rare!

God damn- It kills me to think I still have another 3 months of waiting til I see them!

rollingstone423 · May 2006

Sound was really muffled and not nearlly loud enough in the 200's last night. Maybe I was too off to teh side??? Gotta say, up front people were going nuts but in the 200's patches of people were boring as can be -not friendly- not moving- dead. didnt know more than half the songs- the other half just the radio hits which there were waaaaay too many of. 1st encore was a snoozer but the guy next to me called last kiss- and with the guys released from prison up there with em it was kinda special. 2nd encore was great except for even flow- God- can we play another song off ten?! wtf? Blood awesome! leash, awesome!!!! comatose, comatose!!!!! Got a feeling Tonights gonna blow last night away- just fix the muffled sound please!!! TURN IT UP!!! Lets get a Don't gimme no lip- lets get a fuckin BIG WAVE!!!!!! See you tonight!!!!!
