Yeah, that crowd was pretty rough. Way too many people sitting down in my section...

Yeah. I have seen them in places like cleveland and west palm beach (still the east coast, but not NE). Those crowds make me appreciate seeing them in places like philly and nyc, where the energy is unmatched (the united center crowds in chicago are also awesome...love that city).

what did you think of barclays vs msg?

Nice change of pace going to Barclays. Good sound, not a bad seat in the house. MSG is MSG and nothing can beat it but I like Barclays as a secondary NYC arena. Queens of the Stone Age are playing there in December and it'll be cool to see them in a big New York arena. They never seemed quite "big enough" for MSG and maybe still aren't. But to see them at Barclays with a comparable crowd will be cool. Overall I liked the place. I'd actually like to see a basketball game there sometime.

Edit: Well I take back that QOTSA part. They apparently played MSG in 2005. Not sure how I missed that. Still, I like having the Barclays and would rather go there than the old East Rutherford Arena as far as secondary NYC arenas go.

yeah, that's pretty much exactly what I thought.

I missed the fight that got 40+ people thrown out, but I heard it was crazy.

You know...I think I may be "over" PJ in Philly. I always go cause it's like a 15 minute drive. But now I've been to 13 Philly/Camden shows and was kinda let down by this year's Philly 2 despite having my second best seats ever. Maybe it was because it was a lame Tuesday or maybe it's because I saw a VERY similar setlist at Brooklyn 2. But after Spectrum '03, the 2005 show, and the four 2009 Spectrum shows (night 4 in particular), I think I've seen by far the best of Pearl Jam in Philly and everything from here on out won't come close to those shows. It's just hard to not go when you know there's a Pearl Jam concert a few miles away.

Monday night was a great show. To me it was way better than 2005. I think 2005 is the most overrated show I've ever been to.

I do understand the sentiment about Camden though. I hope they never play there again. If they do I'll probably end up going but I don't have a lot of desire for that place venue or that parking lot anymore.

i like camden for nostalgia purposes. reminds me of getting blacked out drunk at shows when i was a kid back in the glorious 1990's. and for some reason, the tailgates we've had there have always been great. love the view of philly across the river. that adds to it.

also--the lawn. yeah the sound sucks and you can barely see the band. but i enjoy not getting tenclub seats or paying more for good seats, just so i can spend the entire show with all my friends and share the full experience with them. even if it's just a greatest hits kind of setlist, it's still fun to belt out all the lyrics with like 10 of your buddies. that's always fun to me.

it's just a different kind of show there. i'm usually way more hammered and usually have a better time. totally realize i'm in the minority on this one though.

I love watching Werth jump up.

How quickly things change. :evil:

anyway, I think our Philly shows were great, it seems to me as though the band is really putting it all there for this tour.

Makes me think they won't be back for a long LONG time though.

Don't say that. I need some summer weekend shows but indoor and not in Camden.

Jearlpam0925

Yeah, I get that feelin too. Maybe they can take that time to actually make an album.

I changed my mind after listening to this album for the umpteenth time.....yeah, it fuckin sucks.

Awesome songs-
Getaway
My Father's Son
Pendulum

Good songs -
Sleeping By Myself
Lightning Bolt
Future Days
Mind Your Manners

Shit -
Sirens
Let The Records Play (definitely hear that Jeepers Creepers)
Yellow Moon
Swallowed Whole
Infallible (this should be good, but its not)


Sorry for being a dick, but this album is screaming dog poop to me and I can't help it.. Way too many shit songs.

I love people on The Porch eatin this stuff up. The band could, literally, infuse their own feces into a vinyl album and people would say it was their best work yet.

Again, sorry for being a dick, but this album sucks, so it disappoints me. The last 3 albums they've averaged about 4-ish years between albums and this is what they've been coming up with. Christ.

End of rant.

As I said to you, I don't entirely agree with you and I don't entirely disagree with you, but this should be good.

Please, please, please post this on the porch.

I agree with some of what you said, but not all. I like it, but don't love it. Definitely a step up from Backspacer.

Yes, please, please, please do. That would be phenomenal

There's been about 7 years between now and Avacado. Thats two albums and roughly 90 minutes of music in those 7 years...... Seven years.... That's shit. And don't gimme quality over quantity. Cause these past two don't live up to that either.

I stay out of The Porch and argue with people here instead. At least I know the people who argue in here aren't complete fanboys (though, c'mon, we really are). I'm just not stupid. Ya ever argue with a crazy religious person? That'll be the same thing that happens there.

Hey, whatever, all I know is that album played better live and fit better in a set.

Ah fuck it, Riot Act kicks ass. And I say that with full confidence.
