    and between my two shows this year I've only seen 1 Binaural song at all.

    Nice review! :thumbup:

    In my 5 shows so far I've gotten one Binaural song - Rival at Spectrum 1. Hoping for one or two in Baltimore on Sunday. On the other hand, I've gotten 5 Unthought Knowns. I still enjoyed it once again last night. :lol:

    Oh yeah, this was my first Unthought! I love that song, so I was very happy for that, especially after they didn't do it at Brooklyn 1 and then did it at the next 2 shows which I missed. I was extremely busy with work during the Backspacer tour, so I never got a chance to see anything from that album before this week. I would have died if they did Force of Nature, but it doesn't look like that one's coming back.

    I've only gotten 2 Binaurals at all. Sleight at Brooklyn 1, and Grievance at MSG 2003. Does the band really hate the album that much? Thank god I went to that 2003 show where they did about half of Riot Act.......

    Philly 1 crowd seemed much more energetic and into it than night 2. Both were good shows though. Brooklyn 2 was better, in my opinion of course.

    Did anyone see or get a pic of the Backspacer girl from the Halloween show in '09? She was there but in different make-up. I only caught a glimpse of her cause she was near Stone's side on the floor and i was on Mike's side.

    Last nights show and set list in my opinion is definitely in my top 3 pearl jam shows. The version of better man was completely insane, never mind Untitled and mfc!!! Present tense!!! Nothingman!! Come back, breath, leaving here!! REALLY???? I have to say, Brooklyn 1 was great, but Philly 2 in my opinion took the birthday cake :lol:

    The ten club really hooked me up as well! Brooklyn 1 was 5th row on the floor behind GA, Philly 2 was section 114 side stage on the rail!! This enabled my wife and I to enjoy the tour from 2 different perspectives.. Wish I was going to Hartford OR Baltimore, guess I need to get off my PJ cloud and back to reality.

    On a side note, upon pulling out of the parking lot, a white land rover was driving completely insane, weaving in and out of cars, until he clipped the front driver side corner panel and bumper on my 2012 silver Honda Accord, and proceeded to leave the scene of the accident. Needless to say this immediately took away my pearl jam high!

    We were able to get his license plate number before he split and we filled out a police report.
    If any fellow PJ fans were witness to this lunatic, please let me know, I would like to make sure he gets what's coming to him!! DOUCH!
    If you saw this please let me know on this forum or shoot me an email at <!-- e --><a href="mailto:albacorey1@gmail.com">albacorey1@gmail.com</a><!-- e -->
    Thank you everyone! And thank you Pearl Jam for an unforgettable evening!!

    Spoiled Pearl jam fans! I was at 3 shows bklyn 1 philly 1 and 2 and loved all 3 . How many groups do you know that give 2 and a half to 3 hr of music and give 100% effort EVERY TIME. I savor every minute of shows I go to . How long do you think they will keep going like this?. Thank you pearl jam for all the pleasure over the last 23 years!

    :o Arrow to the heart- I may succumb to naughty means if I don't find means to an immediate audio file. My list is long on why this show was so special and personal, but to start (1) Ed's voice was beautiful especially so on Untitled, Come Back, Parachutes, Better Man ( :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: tag), Present Tense- BEAUTIFUL!! (2) Solo jams by each of the guys were totally cool (3)stage bball and Dr J props (4)Pendulum and Infallible are seared in my brain- love them (5) GA Pit was a brilliant change- so great to be on the floor close to the band and everyone seems more outgoing than when you have assigned seating- manners were minded, personal spaces kept- PJ fans are the best(6) I really enjoyed the "wave" pace to the show- many comments out there that it slowed to much or lost some of the crowd...but the stadium seemed to still be rockin the shit out through the 2nd encore...totally like a day where the sets build and the rides are intense and you paddle back out to find they've tapered for a while and you can just enjoy the ocean and the day only to be surprised by another set of barrels....one of those days you realize you have no desire to go in (and don't until you realize you are being reminded to exit ;) ) Nothing but pure love for this evening...

    got a car...got some gas...oh let's get out of here-get out of here fast...
    I hope you get this message but your not home...I will be there in just a minute or so...
    I want to go but I want to go with you.

    Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime. -MT

    I've had enough, said enough, felt enough. I'm fine, still in it.

    Went to both shows and loved them both equally (and enormously), for various reasons. I didn't get to Brooklyn, so I don't have the same complaints as others about the repeats...I was thrilled to hear the songs I had missed the other night, actually!

    Highlights were Wash, MFC, Present Tense, All of Encore 1 (especially Come Back/Breat/SOLAT and except for Future Days -- I seriously hate that song, I'm sorry), Blood and Baba.

    Really digging Yellow Moon live.

    MOST IMPORTANTLY...I was 2nd from the rail on Stone's side, and Ed personally handed me a tambourine :shock:
    If anyone has video or photos of that moment, I would really, REALLY love to have them! Seriously, I never use all caps. Please. PLEASE. Thank you.

    Yeah I was disappointed by that too. It was also a little bittersweet that I won the lottery (2nd row) but with the GA section in front of me, it wasn't nearly as special as it would have been had I won the lottery in previous years. Oh well.
    The 10C is not using any 1/2/9/10 ticket lottery on this tour FYI.
    You see me empty, Sir, do not pause and inquire, simply assume and refill.

    I went to both Brooklyn and Philly shows. Saturday in Brooklyn I label Epic!!!! Philly fans were awesome!!!! Crowd rocked it and I had a great view from behind the stage. Hearing Wash twice live is awesome!!!! I'm digging Lightning Bolt, awesome song to play live. Last Kiss as the whole band went to the rear of the stage, with Mike standing and playing a tiny drum kit. MFC. Leaving Here. Oceans in Brooklyn. I don't like WWS, but they rocked it. Baba was insane!!!! Miracles in Brooklyn. I thought all 4 shows were amazing with awesome setlist.

    We let her go in front of us when the doors opened at 6:30. When Eddie pointed her out we found out why she was in such a hurry :)

    Had GA for the 2nd Philly show. Was two rows behind the rail right in front on Mike. Let's just get it out of the way the Mike is freaking awesome. Really interacts with the crowd, makes you feel at times like he is playing just for you. And he really does appear to me a nice humble guy who loves to interact with his fans and is so approachable. I also love him because he threw my 3 picks and basically dove into my arms during Baba (also got passed Eddie's champagne bottle but passed on taking a swig). Also, many thanks to the GA section where I was -- people were into it but also respectful of people's space and even saved people's spots when they had to use the restroom. I also loved it when Eddie totally fell off the speaker at the end of the show -- a little too much wine and champagne for the man. I went to the 2 Brooklyn shows and 2 Philly shows and here is how I would rank them:

    Brooklyn 2 -- energy at the end was incredible with rockin the in the free world into Mike's solo star spangled banner. It looked like the guys were having a great time. In Hiding was big highlight for me.

    Philly 1 -- the crowd's energy (especially for a Monday) was crazy good and the band fed off of it. Mother was a nice treat.

    Philly 2 -- Breath into SOLAT was nice. Also, loved Present Tense. A little disppointed because the setlist was similar to Brooklyn 2 and maybe expectation were too high going in that it would be a show for the ages after Philly 1. I also agree that the energy level was down a little bit from the previous night.

    Brooklyn 1- some technical issues and Eddie seemed pissed off. At least we got Chloe Dance/Crown of Thorns and Oceans out of it.

    All in all thrilled to have gone to these shows and looking forward to my final one for now in Baltimore on Sunday.

    We did have a nice section going by Mike...everyone was cool and we also all worked together to boot some drunken blonde chick who tried moving up like three times. I was probably 4 row off the rail there in the corner by Mike. Ed shot the champagne cork right at us! No one took credit for finding it though!
    No longer overwhelmed it seems so simple now.

    Great show. My ranking is Brooklyn 2, Philly 2, Brooklyn 1. Philly crowd was awesome maybe better than Brooklyn's IMO and I'm a new Yorker. 10c hooked me up with great seats in section 101 row 5 with 422xxx. Sick show hit the double digits for this one. Thank u 10c and PJ!!!!!

    I'm glad you got down for one here. Eddie mentioning you in Newark is still one of my favorite memories from a PJ show.
