How did this thread find its way all the way to the bottom of the fan views?
What a great time I had with my two teenage daughters -- my youngest's (13) first PJ show. Gave them my 10C tix and paid a premium for a decent single but lucked out and sat with some great fans, including a fellow Bruce zealot who was seeing PJ for the first time.
Great crowd, great venue (really good eats for arena food, too), and a world-class performance from the band.

Just shipped a couple hours ago! Not sure the likelihood of arriving tomorrow, but Saturday and in time for the snow we're supposed to get would be great to have while cleaning it.

If it wasn't so cold out, I'd be sitting on my front step to wait for the mailman to come.

how does the crowd sound on the bootleg? I heard it wasn't that loud, hope that's not true.
The boot doesn't give the crowd noise its due considering how f'in loud it was the entire show but overall it sounds incredible, much better than some of the other boots from the tour I've heard on the radio. I think this is the best Ed sounded all tour though I am a little biased.

That's kind of a bummer because the whole crowd was loud. They better have the Hartford crowd cranked up.

You certainly can hear the crowd but it's impossible to duplicate it on a boot especially when you want to be able to hear the music. It was the best crowd at any show I've ever been to for sure.
The crowd rocked throughout the entire show -- electric atmosphere!. Hartford's crowd might've surpassed it, though... may have actually been too loud if that is possible (I like to hear Eddie, too!).
Crowd noise is definitely toned down for this Brooklyn boot, though...
Still, probably my fave of the four I saw (Worcester2, Brook2, Philly2, Hartford). Hartford is a really close #2.
I hadn't gotten to see them live since the show in the rain at Randall's Island. Is it me or do they sound even better now than perhaps in year's past?
Was this the best tour in years?
They left the door open for more shows in the states in 2014 so hopefully when Ed said "See you next year" he meant they'll be back in NYC.

I've seen them every year between 2006 and 2013 besides 2007, and this was my favorite tour. I also think they sounded the best. I hope they will be back in 2014 too- two days at MSG please!
I hate this new delivery system. The only innovating thing about them is they're the slowest delivery system I've ever come across in the United States. I just want my boot!

I took a friend with me to the show and she happens to work at NBC studios. The week following this show was Pearl Jam week on Jimmy Fallon. On Thursday I get a text of a photo of my friend with Eddie, his arm wrapped around her. Turns out he chatted with her for 10 minutes or so and she mentioned that I took her to the show and was a huge fan. He tells her to hold on, goes into their rehearsal room and hands her a pick to give to me. Just got the pick and the whole story of their encounter yesterday. How many artists these days would take half a second out of their way to do any of this?

Always such a great live tune. Esp the jam at the end. The boots don't do it justice in my opinion
