    fuck the setlist ... the nerd herd really has to relax on "ordinary setlists"

    the last 2 nights were amazing... obviously you weren't there

    it's the crowd AND the band AND the setlist ... with the first 2 being most important

    i'll be in camden sunday night and i'll be shocked if it's anywhere near as good as boston

    Boston 2 was SICK. I agree: If the Philly shows match Boston 2 I will be impressed. But they are so tight this tour, anything can happen. I keep thinking each setlist I read is the best of the tour. There is only 1 thing keeping me from going to NJ as well: my nephew's 1st bday. Philly 1&2 marks the end of my tour. It's been a hell of a ride and I can't wait to see what they pull out after I'm off the ride.

    no... the lamest thing ever was the couple next to me

    arguing almost all night long .. finally she left

    then he texted her the rest of the night

    he wanted to chat with me during inside job

    how and why he has a 200xxx number is beyond me

    This must have been the same couple I saw having a screaming match at the harp. pearl jam and dating don't mix.

    Nope, and it was perfect. It was like "Here, you got it, now let's move on".

    i expect them to match boston... all the talk here will ensure that... the word will be "we can't let boston beat us"

    and i'm fine with that

    i'm just pissed i didn't get night 1 tix... that's ok though.. the wife would OD on PJ :)

    Yea....As soon as the opening cords were played EVERYONE around me went nuts....We were kinda talking before the show about if they would play it with the soundcheck last night and everything. By the way the guy who put his arm around me during Leash , that was the gayest thing that has ever happened to me


    this is about he funniest thing I have heard all day!!!!!!!!!!!

    All I could do was whisper to myself right after indifference ended was "drop it...drop it....just drop it"

    My head is still spinning.

    RVM was absolutely flooring. The crescendo, the strobes, Mike up on the amps, the crowd energy going through the roof. It was a religious experience.

    I agree 100% about the religous experience thing. I think that really sums up how I felt. In 20 years I think I will still remember that experience with RVM.

    There's just so much damn energy between the band and the crowd. You can't even explain it you really have to experience it.

    And the debut of Parachutes!! What else do you want? Unless you get Big Wave I don't see what they could have saved for Camden.

    There was a while where I was a little sick of Insig, but I've gotten back into it lately and last night was super tight.

    rearviewmirror was AMAZING. that is always one of my favorite songs live, but I think last night's was the best I've ever heard it. Between that and SOLAT, the first set practically had me on my knees. I honest came extremely close to passing out during rearviewmirror I was going so nuts. and I was on the isle in front of mike so I was just mezormized when he was up on the speaker. So freaking cool. Oh and the mention of insignificance- I love this song live too, and I also think this was the best it has ever been played. ever since binaural came out I always thought that would be an amazing song live, but was always slightly disappointed in it, mostly from the crowd who never seems to get into it, but it seemed like everyone was into last night. Just an amazing first set.

    I can't believe you got to hear Leash played live. Gayest thing that ever happened to me, my drunken friend stuck her tongue in my mouth in the front row of RFK stadium during a PJ Harvey set. That's a gayer concert moment.

    no it isnt. that's a HOTTER concert moment. two chicks with their tongues in each other's mouths is not gay, it's a gift ;)

    im with lou though, this obsession about setlists is absolutely ridiculous and insane. what matters is the interaction between the band and the crowd. if the band is on fire and the crowd is responding, they could play the greatest hits album from start to finish and it would be incredible. if the band is off and the crowd sucks, they could play lost dogs start to finish and it would suck.
