    Not sure if this has been posted about here- but-

    My friends sister had a single ticket, not sure what section, but she said that some guy in her section was drunk, fell down the stairs and broke his neck and was taken away on a stretcher. Apparently there were cops in the section questioning for possible witnesses from what she said.

    Did anyone else see this/know how this person is doing?

    wow. there is a lot of hostility in this thread. some of you folks need to calm down and get laid.


    that said...

    this was the best show of the 10 i saw this leg, and in my top three favorite shows i've ever seen. i loved my seats, i loved the crowd energy, and the band... the band was having so much fun!

    talking to fans out in the parking lot beforehand, expectations seemed to be running pretty high. pearl jam met those expectations head on and put on a brilliant show.

    Wow I guess I'm the only one who thought night 1 blew this one away. Better setlist IMO, with Immortality, Not for You, Footsteps, etc. The audio problem at the beginning of Animal last night was a huge momentum killer, and the sound was completely fucked from then on. Everyone in my section was complaining (sec. 122, Stone's side). Couldn't understand what Ed was saying at times, didn't hear Mike AT ALL for a few songs, etc. It seemed to gradually improve as the night wore on, or maybe I just got used to it. But it ruined a good chunk of the main set for me, and from then on I just felt like, okay, nothing will ever top Thursday so I'll just soak this in while I can, it's my last show for a while. Hard to Imagine was incredible, so was Black and Life Wasted. Other than that, too many songs I'd already heard on this tour (ESPECIALLY ALIVE, jeez give it a break).

    But a "bad" PJ show is still 2+ hours I'd choose to spend over just about anything else in life, so it's all relative. Those of us who see a lot of shows have been spoiled by some amazing performances. I would put DC and E. Rutherford night 1 down as 2 of the best Concerts I've ever seen, period.

    Another thing, the poster situation last night was a joke. IT'S ONE PER CUSTOMER, when will the band crack down on the idiot vendors? Once again the Ebay parasites are having a field day.

    Shows are all different, and everyone has different preferences. If longer=better, fine, some people feel that way. The band is always "on." PJ always brings their A game, that's why we love them. Despite people's comments, I thought the crowd Thursday rocked too, although I personally was so into it that probably colors it. I think alot goes into why people say a show was the "best ever" and alot of it has to do with the overall experience. I was seeing this killer band Umphrey's McGee at the Nokia in NYC, pretty small place, I was close to the stage, and in heaven, they played this awesome set, and then during the encore some asshole threw a full beer can over the balcony and it nailed me right in the nose. Completely ruined my whole vibe and mood, and that great uplifting feeling I have when I leave a great concert was gone. How good people think a show was has an awful lot to do with how they're feeling, who they're with, where they sit, who sits near them - especially with PJ, who are just so consistently awesome no matter what else is going on. Shit, one of their most well known shows is referred to as the Ice Bowl!!

    Probably trying to run up front because he saw an empty seat nobody was using. :D

    Just kidding, hope this guy is seriously ok. Booze and steep arena staircases don't mesh well.

    crowd was fuckin horrible, ed tried everything to get them going, the only songs they were awake for were last kiss and alive, it's a shame they decided to end the tour here, the crowd sucked!

    You must not have been at the show and just trying to stir the pot. The crowd was great! Even the band noticed moron!

    Is my setlist correct?? I just find it odd that they would open with the same 3 songs 2 nights in a row.

    Isn't that what makes them the best live band? Everyone was trying to predict the opener, etc. and Pearl Jam throws a curve ball and plays the same 3 songs to open the show? People comment how they are so unpredictable and this tops them all! Totally unpredictable! No one would have guessed this!

    Show would have been ten times better if it was played at MSG, but I understand that probabaly wasn't their choice. They did a good job with the setlist, but it wasn't over the top like many leg closers can be. Dirty Frank or Breath would have helped immensely. I felt the tech problems before Animal hurt the pace of the show, but PJ are just a professional and air-tight band so it didn't affect the show too much.

    No Surrender was sung beautifully by ED before hand. He really does have the best singing voice of all time. They were emotional throughout the show and for good reason. Lukin and Whipping were the real highlights for me. Kind of was in the mood for Betterman and Daughter but overall this felt like a unique show where they played the songs they enjoyed playing most on the tour.

    Also Porch, Alive, and Black will always be transcendent live. Like "Streets" is with U2, those songs always take off. Leash, Why Go, SOLAT, and Rats were all welcome additions to the show. Glad to see these songs are being used so well.

    Pearl Jam is a truely a legendary band and a collective force of nature. Ending with the Star Spangled Banner and Ledbetter was beautiful. Hope they come back around somehow before the world tour is over.

    i thought it was kinda bogus, but then the sound problem sort of cleared the slate. after the snafu with animal, ed sang love boat captain as if it were a set opener - "let the show begin." the crowd went nuts and the early missteps were forgiven.

    first off THE MEADOWLANDS SUCKS ASS

    EVERYTHING ABOUT IT,, MIDDLE OF NO WHERE , only 2 ways to get onto the floor,, and lets not even talk about the sound in there

    P.S. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS FUCKING ARENA

    Yes, the arena isn't the best for concerts (MSG blows it away), but unfortunatly we aren't the ones who choose the venues.. Going to be even worse getting in and out of there when that Xanadu bs is finished.

    I may be biased, as this was my first PJ show ever. But I thought it was F"N AWESOME! It was everthing I had hoped and more. I have 10c seats to Pitt and I am so anxious now. I cant wait!!!

    The whole show was just brilliant to me. I enjoyed every single minute of it. And my seats sucked. 2nd floor and it was rocking up there! Just shows if you want to have a good time, you will!

    Does anyone know what the poster said that Eddie stopped on behind the stage when he was reflecting the light off of his guitar? I couldn't see from where I was sitting...

    I think it had a pic of Bush and Cheny and on the other side it said something about they want to play WWS. The show was so awesome....my mind is not working too good!

    first hour-fifteen was incredible .... encores were a letdown. instead of leaving the arena spent, i was left looking for more and totally opposite the feeling i had heading home on 9-11-98 and 7-8-2003.
    I don't want to be hostile. I don't want to be dismal. But I don't want to rot in an apathetic existance either.

    my seat sucked i got them from some guy on here. section 206 last row of section all by myself. so i said fuck this and was walking around the upper deck of the arena for the whole show. i was on cready side for a little bit and was on stone side for a little bit. then i was behind matt for evenflow and the rest of the show. moral of my story is by the fucking 10c tickets when they go on sale.
    Ron: I just don't feel like going out tonight
    Sammi: Wanna just break up?

    There was a big sign/bed sheet sign behind the stage that said something like "stop fuckin around and play leash"...it said more at the top of the bed sheet and more at the bottom of the bed sheet, but that's all i could make out from my section (109)!

    I thought the show was Great. They played "Whipping". I don't know about anyone else but I haven't haeard that song in many ages. "Vitalogy" is one of my favorite. Ed putting Mike on his shoulders were adorable!
