Ahhhh I wonder if the crowd did compare in Eddie's view to New York and Boston, as he told us to be louder than them
Not sure if we were, I was the loudest in section C24 I can tell ya that and all I could hear was myself singing

i am not trying to be negative at ALL let me get that out of the way from the start b4 someone bites my head off... how many does people does mellon hold?? i was a bit surprised at how many emptly seats there were... i mean i know Wachovia holds more and it was packed to the rafters in october 05... and same with philly spectrum 03 (just to compare inside arenas) as far as the people that were there i couldn't have been in better company, truly a great atmosphere and a kick ass time!!!! oh well just something that struck me as odd when i gazed around b4 they turned the lights off...

i want to say 17,000 something. it's set up stupid though, the top sections e & f are only on the sides so that closes off an entire section behind the stage. in 03 they didn't have the curtain up. there were empty seats but they weren't really empty, it's deceiving how it's set up there.

ok i'll give you waiting and moth but not the others...

dissident - 156 times played (6th most on vs)
i got shit - 101 times played (alot for soundtrack song)
garden is not played often but it has been played 99 times and 9 times this tour alone

i meant no disrespect to the show itself...it was fun. i guess for an "oldhead" i could do without any song from ten to vitalogy.

uh, dood. way too much spare time. a good show is a good show. its not a b-side contest, its a concert. the setlist rocked. congrats on being the top man in stats on the entire site, but jesus. chill out. lol.

can someone answer this question for me please, it has been bugging me since last night....

why, why, why does everyone just basically stand around, nod, and clap to most of the pj songs (with the exception of a few fans), but then ritfw is played and the whole place goes nuts? i f'n love that song, but you best believe that i am dancing my bare-footed ass off for just about every pearl jam song that they play (just ask anyone near the back of sec.6). it seems to me like everyone is waiting until the end to let loose, and just when they get into the show, it's over. i don't know if any of you see what i'm saying or not, or if i'll ever understand this shit, but whatever. btw, i'm all for enjoying the show in any way that appeals to you, i just don't get why ppl rock out the hardest to a cover song. please enlighten me.

from my position (6th row center) everyone was jamming out the entire time. if everyone was nodding and clapping in your section at least they were doing that and not sitting down checking their watches. the crowd was awesome everytime i turned around to have a look. glad you were busting a move in your section. good stuff.

I was wondering if ed was crying after black when he was singing part of that song it's ok. his voice got weak.

i think theres a good possibility he had tears in his eyes....his voice was very shaky at the end and he just had this look of almost pain on his face...and then remember after he finished singing....he turned his back to the crowd till the song was over. it was very emotional. i think i got a tear in my eye.

and pitt was anything BUT typical. if you werent there...they you wouldnt understand. the setlist was off the hook! like all my favs...and they were some extremely intense versions of those songs...ed was on a roll all night...very chatty....

its always hard for me to rank the best shows since they are all awesome...but so far....cleveland and pittsburgh have blown the other 2006 shows ive seen so far. and this seems to be a tend in my opinion...the 03 tour...both ctown and pitt were unforgettable!

im glad i made it! and got hooked up with great seats again! and i got to talk to some people i havent seen or talked to in a while...

but yeah....overall....fuckin amazing show! it was like shock and awe for most of it!
