*** Charlottesville Fanviews Here 10/29/13 ***

DV28676

Those were my two boys at Charlottesville that Eddie pulled up onstage. The evening of 11-29-2013 was unbelievable. UN BEE LEEV UH BULL
I had to slap myself all the way back in the car. I never awoke though, so I guess it wasn't a dream -- as hard to believe as that is to do though...

Also when the band was introduced, Jeff was last and the crowd went nuts..Eddie ran over and handed him his bottle..I believe Jeff mouthed " wow" after taking a gulp..not sure if was because of that gulp or the crowds response to him before that gulp.

i know i was screaming JEFF! then.
fuck the jeff drama rumors.

. And even had a "moment" with Ed when I tossed him my red, black and white (LB themed) rainbow loom bracelet (made by my son) and he wore it for the final few songs.

i saw the bracelet up on the screen.
very cool.

I don't know if it was earlier than this or then that I noticed the guy in the wheelchair being prevented from going in the pit and told to just stay in the aisle of reserved GA, where it was obvious HE COULD NOT SEE SHIT. The 2 10C seats next to me had been empty the whole show, I motioned to him like "Is ther ANY way we can get you in these seats?" Like, I wondered if we could lift him... but he wisely and resignedly just kind of shook his head like "that is not gonna happen" and it was such a bummer. Then I saw someone I thought might be able to help, flagged him down, pointed out the guy and asked if there was anything he could do to get the guy in the pit. Not more than 5 min later, dude and his friend have wristbands and are in the pit and he can actually SEE THE STAGE!!! Right there, I was done. No matter what else happened that night, seeing that guy helped so he could actually see meant the world to me and lifted me up as high as the music did. I was so happy.

as a power chair user myself, that makes me happy to read that, so thanks for posting.
as a 10c member i have great anxiety of having really good seats but being pushed back into ADA seat due to the god damn power chair.
i trusted 10c to hook me up with ADA seats this time and i was in 108. back of the venue. saw everything... and the crowd was great ya'll, believe me. at least from my section down. all except lightening bolt. people were asleep during that one.
10c got me front row in 08 so i refuse to whine. yeah i was in the back, but made for great sound and no view of asses and elbows----which is what i get with poor/no ADA seats. AND this venue has family restrooms.... love!



embrace thanks for sharing that about the first-timers.




OOHH, AND I REALLY like the merch table being open as the same time as 10c tix pick up ..... early.

This was my 10th show and my favorite. I was right in front of Mike, 2nd "row". I was behind the guy in the wheelchair. Mike gave him some signed 45 and Ed gave him a tambourine. My first show was 17 years ago. I finally got a pick from the guy who inspired 11-year-old me to start playing guitar.

Doube post. Sorry.

Truth Machine

41 shows for me and this one is in the top five for sure. Does it beat MSG 1 2003, Philly 3-4 2009, Jones Beach 2 2000 or Toronto 1 2011? Not sure yet but it's up there!

moleculardreaming

I was at Philly 4, too. I feel like I'll be listening to this show more.

4 days later and I still cannot believe that I was at this show. My husband and I have not stopped talking about it. The sound, the people, the SET LIST!! OMG! I nearly died when Breath/State were played. Cannot wait to be able to get back to another show!

I've already posted my short review, so here goes my long one for personal closure.



I had a couple of gomers jumping up and down for no apparent reason (not like during Go, but totally off key for a song), but that was more funny than anything. There's more to it, but I'll say no more in case these guys are on the board. But for anyone that was near them, they will know what I'm talking about...

Did one of the "gomers" have a Who t-shirt and ball cap on?

Well let me ask you, before I insult anyone.. Did you have a Who t-shirt on?

I'm sure you got tons of pics of your boys, but in case you didn't, I snapped a few from 4 rows back. They are here:

No way to have enough of those. I certainly appreciate that. My family thanks you. We're all still buzzing...

Hugs from everyone..how awesome! It was the perfect show. My Wife and I are still super stoked about it so I can't even imagine the elation you all are feeling. So glad to be a part of the whole experience. One of my favorite parts was when Ed noticed their shirts while they were on stage...he was like "oh, sh1t!!" ...I don't know why I just thought it was so cool. I mean to get them up on stage and then also have such cool custom made shirts on...talk about a perfect nite. This is why I've been telling everyone..."yes, the setlist was awesome but everything else was perfect too:)"

I saw your boys at 730 when I arrived and I knew something special would happen. Ed always treats the kids well but this was better than I imagined.

Important question.... Did they take a sip? I couldn't tell.

I remember talking to you and your sons on the way back to the GA line... I was fast walking trying to catch up to you guys earlier hoping you were heading to a restroom and you were THANK GOD lol.

I said as soon as I saw thase shirts that Eddie is going to notice those and say something about it. But DAMN did he ever notice! My wife and I were so happy and smiling the whole time (like everyone else in the building). A moment you, your sons, and wife will never forget and no one that was there that night will either.

I took a sip first just because I thought that was probably customary. It was definitely wine. I gave the cup to Danoh, who is the twelve year old. He took a decent size mouthful, but totally unexpectedly to me, he turned and poured almost the entire contents of the cup into his younger brother's mouth. Heath almost gagged on that. He needed some water right away and fortunately we still had some which we were using to wet our mouths.

Yep!

They have always had "PEARL JAM ROOKIE" T-shirts before. The Rob from PJ Radio interviewed us in Saskatoon in 2011 and said that they were no longer rookies so I figured that I had to do something else. Apparently The Womb T-shirts and hoodies were a big hit with everyone as well as the band.

DV28676, if you don't mind my asking, how was it trying to get your boys up front? Somehow kids often seem to make it there and I always wonder if the crowd is nice about letting them forward or if you have to be really aggressive even with the little ones in tow? Did you all have really low numbers? (I mean, the ones they mark you with when you're waiting for GA)?

DV28676

Danoh and I arrived at the will call window at 4:30AM to wait in line. As it turned out, we started the line as we were the first ones there. It was a long day though. Danoh held my wife's spot since she had our nine month old baby girl. Kimmie came with the baby and our nine year old boy later and a family friend picked up the baby around 3:30PM or so. Everyone was really nice about always recognizing that we were the first to be in line since they moved the GA folks about three times through the day. The boys were worn out even by the time the doors opened though and we still had almost two hours before the first notes were played. No one allowed us to move in front of them nor did we need to be aggressive -- unless you count waking up at 3:30AM aggressive. We felt like we earned it -- earned it that is after we were fortunate enough to score four GA tickets. That was pure luck.

What happened once the show ended? Did your boys talk to them more?

You should have your boys collaborate on a fan view for this! It would be great to hear what this whole thing was like from a 12 yr old's viewpoint!
