    What a show!! Was 3rd row center in pit. Was really happy they changed the seating system for this tour at least. Was at 2 other shows in Vancouver but always got not so great seats due to my 410xxx number, is amazing being up close a lot of energy around us and respectful people around us as well, almost ruined by drunk chick storming in from back but stuck together to get her out. Didn't think that 1st show from 09 would be beat but this one achieved that. Amazing set and played right up to midnight. Cant wait for next one, hopefully not too long. :D

    If anyone happened to get a picture that you can see my rival sign in, I would love to see it.

    I saw it up on the big screen at one point!!

    Will have it tonight in Seattle as well :)

    Let's say knowledge is a tree, yeah.
    It's growing up just like me.

    Pearl Jam’s brilliance does not rest solely in the hands and voice of the great Eddie Vedder. But at the same time there’s no rock and roll front man of this or perhaps any generation with the same ability to blend the illusion of small venue intimacy with the theatrics of arena rock. There’s no trick to it either. He does it with sincerity and passion, forged in the spirit of the underground rock ethos he helped bring into the mainstream and honed over years of bringing it to fans around the world.

    Nice! :D

  • I was in GA , middle left 8 people back, near the lady from Hawaii and her nice friend , a hammered youngish guy in black and a mysteriously brunette tattoo'd girl in front of me with her blonde counterpart. Eye's tattoo'd on her upper back, keeping an eye on me all night.

    Wow, hours after the show, still wow, could not believe we witnessed that. Reading your posts bring it all back to me so thanks for that. In Hiding Ed came down low to the front and seemed to sing to a group of twenty of us. A moment for sure.

    At one point I was losing my mind and Ed noticed pointed out to me and began to jump around too... Did this really happen, I am still dumbfounded.

    For me Footsteps, Mother, In Hiding, Black, Daughter, Jeremy, untouchable memories... Not For You! It seemed to be, how awesome it all was. So wish I was there in Seattle at this moment as they are on stage yet again.

    A big thanks to Ten Club for making the GA, lottery and it all so much more of an experience.

    Wow... :shock:
  • Wow!!!! Been just over 20yrs since my dad and I had been to Pearl Jam. That was the most amazing performance! Still in shock!!!!

  • A well-written review.

    I do think that there is a shared admiration between the fans and the band. I do not doubt Ed's sincerity when he gushed about the crowd and that 'feeling' was evident at various points of the show in Mike, Stone, Jeff and Matt's faces as well.

    It's well written to a point, but there are typos, "kick UP the jams", and other nit picky points, but yeah, he is getting better.

    I should have clarified what I was getting at: he did a pretty good job summarizing the evening.

    The perfectionist in me was bothered by a few grammatical errors such as new comers. And I might have been inclined to speak of some more specific moments throughout the concert, but I've been trying to shave an 'A' or two off of my AAA personality.

    From your comment, I think we might have some 'A's in common! :lol:

    Vancouver. Such am amazing show.

    Had ga tickets (only show this tour, did 6 overall)

    The band sounded better than I've ever heard. Crowd was insane. Setlist was insane.

    Vancouver was epic and I am so glad I made the trip.

    If anyone has a picture where you can see my sign I would love to see it! I saw it on the big screen at one point, and held it up alot during the times when Ed would talk and the crowd would be lit up.

    Hey, did everyone notice how Eddie said something like they didn't know IF they'd be back in Vancouver (not WHEN), and then slipped in maybe they would be?... Seemed slightly odd. It actually made me ... well, completely over think the comment. :lol: Was it suggesting that he or they have no definite plans to continue with the band in the future or what?? I wouldn't consider that if it was in some other random city, but they are so close to vancouver and always make it a stop, so the comment struck me as a little ominous.

    Seems like I missed a good marathon show :cry:

    Mom is terminally ill and I had to travel home to be with her. I had my Ten Club tickets "gifted" from me to someone through the ten club. I hope somebody got to enjoy them, I couldn't stand the thought of them going to waste.

    I sure hope I am able to go to another show next time, could use that stress releif ;)

    Shitty to hear about, man.

    You obviously did what you had to do though. Hope the holidays go well for you and yours.

    I was at this and Calgary show. In Calgary Ed said something like we will have to come back in the summer, which is in reference to the blizzard that day in Calgary.
    My point is, I wouldn't take literally what Ed said in Vancouver about maybe not being back for awhile. They could be back in the summer for all we know.

    Thanks, appreciated. The decision was pretty clear.

    Nice videos, I only watched a few. I will watch a bunch more when the pain of missing that show passes ;)
