see now, thats the beauty right now of having listened to and followed this band for 15 years, bought a ton of bootlegs and yet somehow never seen them, And Thursady will be my first. If I had seen that 30-song set tonight, I would have been as happy as a pig in shit, I'd love to hear some of my favorite rarities, like Breath, but I also wanna hear Even Flow and Alive and all the new stuff. I remember how it feels, when the Dead would roll into town and you'd go to 8 consecutive shows and if you got repeats or songs you didn't like you were bored. Its so nice not to be jaded about this band, Im so ridiculously pumped for this week!

Last night was my 7th time seeing PJ since '96 and I'd rank the set as one of the best I've seen so far, and I've been to two of the best shows in the history of the band in my opinion. I still love hearing the classics like Jeremy, Alive, and Even Flow, the energy in the crowd is amazing when they do them and you're right, there's a lot of people that have followed PJ for years (much longer than the people on this board bitchin' about the set) that are at a show for the first time and want to hear the songs that made them become PJ fans to begin with.

I've been to a lot of concerts with other bands, and nobody mixes up the set like PJ does while still keeping in the songs that will make more than just us diehards happy. Last night was the first time that I've heard Why Go and Leash live, so I'm thrilled, that's why I keep going back.

See ya next Saturday, if they play a set anywhere as good as tonight, I'll be happy, especially since I'll be taking my older brother who's been a fan for a long time and that will be his first show.

Last night's show was awesome, but there is no doubt that tonight will be INCREDIBLE! Last night was a lot of the hits, but tonight they're gonna pull out the rare stuff (hopefully)! Yesterday at the tailgate, we heard rumors of songs that were soundchecked or songs that might be played tonight....I don't know if any of it is true, but I'm just relaying what I heard...I heard they soundchecked "Big Wave", "All Those Yesterdays", "Cropduster" and that "Alone" will be played tonight...again, I have no clue how true any of it is...it's just what I heard!

just for the record, I drove it on a whim yesterday after noon and had a kind soul help me out for a lawn ticket... and the lawn was PATHETIC... it was just drunk shirtless assholes wobbling back and forth... alot of people showed no emotion the entire time... just pathetic... the guys i was next too were cool though, but from my vantage point just terrible... i couldn't hear anyone else singing on anything other than the hits... and Come Back looked like the freaking prom or something, people just leaning on each other and wobbling back and forth

i have never sat lawn for PJ and im still thrilled to have been there, but when you guys say a crowd is nuts, keep in mind there are like 20,000 people behind you... and in this case, most were drunk and ignorant, to say the least

of course ive also never been to an outdoor show sober, and wow does it give you a whole different perspective on the lawn at those shows!

PJ is not capable of putting on a bad show, but last night's was kinda weak for them, unless you are there to hear all the hits and staples. After every song, we were hoping the next would be something special, but most often it was disappointing - songs you heard 6,000 times on the radio. Granted, there were exceptions: Porch was amazing; Present Tense; Blood; Leash ... But just when you thought, well, at least they let Even Flow rest for one show, they bring it out late in the encores.

I love this band. I will never stop going to shows. I just felt last night's set was more of a casual fan pleaser. And that's OK. Tonight's will be better.

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...

Pearl Jam might have to start selling 50/50 tickets so everyone stays till the end.

Just a quick hi - resting in the a/c with my daughter before tonight's show. (Took her out today to see some Philadelphia stuff, since the chances of our being here again aren't high, unless PJ comes back here) Always a pleasure to be in 10club seats - we had such a great time last night! We ended up near a friendly guy who recognized us from MSG 03 (we're hard to miss I guess - a skinny mom and kid who's kind of a mini-me) and some nice guys behind us that we chatted with. My first comment would be it sucks to be anyone who left before the show was *completely* over - there were (I guess) 10c seats where people left early and missed you know what what. My first Philly/Camden show.... Highlights for me were Leash, Solat, WMA tag, Why Go, Porch always, Present Tense, for the reminder it gives, all the new album songs (esp. Severed Hand and Comatose), a kicking 2nd encore(did they drink Red Bull before the came back out for that?), Blood, Evenflow, Comatose, Leash, all so near the end... We were kind of far back, in the 204 section, so the show was just about listening, grooving to the show, singing with everyone else, rather than being able to watch what individual band members were doing at any given moment.

How nice that The Innocence project was highlighted.... sad for anyone jailed unjustly. Props to the band for contributing to this.

One not cool thing was the clusterfuck around the ferry going back. It didn't matter that you got in line, you had people basically walking and pushing around you to get ahead of you, or they just marched up to the front and didn't even bother with the line. Not cool.

We will be on Stone's side tonight - wish I'd gotten 10c seats, but I'm feeling lucky to have gotten anything - didn't realize it was memorial day weekend when the tickets originally went on sale.
