Hopefully I'll have more to say later. At first the show seemed like a carbon copy of Boston II. The first 8 songs were identical, with only Marker in the Sand in a different spot. Remarked to someone before gig that I'd like to hear Immortality and Footsteps. Footsteps was slightly ruined by the 3 guys behind me singing incredibly out of tune (It was not suprising that they indicated they were Bush sheep when Ed asked about Bushleaguer).

I started gettin psyched when he was talking about Bushleager, we were really hoping they would play it....

'born on third, thinks he got a triple...'

It's a Friday night and I am typing on the messege pit. Why? Well, I got home from the show at 3:45am last night and I need my sleep to be ready for tomorrow night. I have to write a fanview for this show, even though I normally do not. This was my 4th show this tour and it was completely unique. I drove straight from school (I am a high school teacher) and made it to the Meadowlands around 630 just in time to see the last poster come off the wall. Met up with my brother and made our way to our seats and met up with another buddy there. 10 minutes before Ed came on for Hide Your Love Away, some lade exactly two seats up from us (we were on the floor second section back, not sure the section number) puked hard. My brother started to smell it before we saw it, and there it was, a two foot wide pile of puke.
The two guys in front of us stood there with their arms crossed the entire show.

Now the setlist. Unreal. It started out like a greatest hits night but took a turn down Rarity Road somewhere in the middle. I started screaming Footsteps one note into it, and I think my brother went deaf in his left ear. Overall a very different show from others. Glad to hear Canada tour staples like Green Disease. Very cool way to end it without Ledbetter. Either way I am fine, but it was pretty cool.
Sorry this is so long, just a very fun night.

Probably the best description of the night.

Killer show!! I wish I wasn't still beat from DC though, I couldn't pogo for all the heavy songs, hehe.

Footsteps, Alone, Leatherman, Indifference!! Eddie actually talking!!! (he didn't say much at Camden 1 or DC). I had killer seats once again (ty paul!), and had TWWOOOO awesome dancing/singing partners, how cool is that?! Had a dude next to me who hadn't seen PJ in 10 years and had a BLAST (knew the words to just about every song!), and a cool chica with binoculars who politely shared! And also jumped, danced and sang and was totally into the show like me! Awesome!!

Band was totally feelin' it, Mike and Jeff were going nuts, Matt had two solos (mad awesome!!), Stone actually threw pics out, and Eddie... is, well, Eddie.

Mr. Vedder never fails to entertain me. From saying hello to our section (stone's side) from atop a speaker during alive, doing a backwards shimmy exit after the regular set, spitting wine into the air right before the beginning vocals for one song, all his microphone slams and falls, almost shattering his hip and got up smiling with his book and wine and hobbling away... cutest 41yr old I know!! His Bushleager talk, talking about hiking with some kid (which eluded to finding leatherman, wtf?!)., "pussies no more!", god what fun!!

I had a blast!!! Might be the best of 3 shows I've seen this tour!! Only thing missing... was OCEANS!!!! :(

Enjoyed meeting everyone that I did yesterday, a big HELLLOOO to you all!!

I had a great time by Stone's side. He was having a great time...Dancing his little moves and drinking Heineken.lol and was looking GOOD!
Eddie was looking good too.. Finally different shirts.lol
I was so happy to hear Footsteps for the first time live....Beautiful song and the setlist rocked!!! I am so glad that they decided to end the concert different...no baba or RITFW...Indifference was awesome...I did get rarerities... ALONE... but stone's guitar strings broke( I think) so the band messed up on that song...It was funny shit....I can imagine Eddie waking up today....He probably has bruises all over his body since he kept triping himself and landing on the floor...After one of the encores he left limping...But then he came out okay.lol
Thanks Mike for sending like 30 picks in the air...I ran and got my 2nd souvenir from the floor...I wanted to get the poster but got late from NYC (Buses were horrible that night) so they were sold out...The posters for this concert were really nice...hopefully I get lucky the second night. On the way to the venue my friend and I got soaking wet...that I had to get a PJ shirt so I wouldn't show my friends....lol...nice green pj shirt...looks like a jersey.

Yesterday's show was very interesting with Eddie making us laugh and great set list.
I hope for the second night they play Tremor Christ and more songs that I still have not experienced live....Hope to see my fellow 10c members and other PJ heads.

Baba was right before indifference.. I need to smoke what you are .. I was very happy with the closing combo. I love YL, but maybe we were there for a start of a new chapter. I do hope to hear it tomorrow, though.

I know baba was the song before...but it was not the closing song...That was the point i was trying to explain.lol....
Amen to that....I hope it's a start of a new chapter....and I hope it starts tomorrow and keeps on at Europe.

the band had great energy but in terms of sound it seemed pretty low to me. also, the mix was a bit muddy. i'm right behind the stage tonight so it should be nice and loud. the empty seats during indifference were disappointing...but not as bad as the guy who slapped his wife in the parking lot beforehand...

I love the new words in NFY where Eddie sings about his Daughter.

Boot for this show sounds excellent.

Save Me

Great show. Highlights for me were:

Opening with Severed Hand. Just great.

The first few songs were so rocking. One right into another.

The songs off the new album were the highlights for me. They all sound so good live. MITS was a highlight.

Come Back on the stools was so emotional. The stools thing was so Zep like. Amazing.

The "pussies no more" line.

Ed's fall (once I saw he was okay).

Ed pounding back the vino.

After downloading and listening to the bootleg, I just have to say again what an awesome show this was. It may just be my personal preferences, but there was not one song they played that I didn't love. It was like getting hit by a runaway train - great mix of all the right greatest hits and lesser played stuff. The energy in the room, despite the complaining of some, was excellent: right off the bat Ed comments that we "seem to be in fine form" and thanks everyone profusely again and again after the whole Bushleaguer dialogue (which is worth the download alone) and Leash before the band rips the roof off with Baba>Indifference, which was completely off the hook. The sound quality of this boot is outstanding as well. I think my 2 choices for this leg would be this show and Grand Rapids if Im just buying 2 (cause lets face it, I'll need some from leg 2 and Europe and Australia).

guitar=love

yeah the .flac files sound amazing...im glad I shelled out the extra $5
just put on some headphones, close your eyes, and go to the concert again

What a show! I left for vacation on Sunday and this was a great way to kick it off. I brought a good friend who also went to the MSG 2003 show with me. This show made her a fan! She liked them before but really went for me and now, she loves them!

I about flipped my lid in Encore 1 when they went from Come Back to Footsteps. I get teary eyed just thinking about it. I usually get emotional at PJ shows and cry at least once but I completly lost it during Footsteps. God I love that song! And to go into it after such an amazing version of Come Back.

This might be the best show I have ever attended. Well after the experience of being second row at letterman.

Thanks Ten Club!!!

fucking brilliant.

The second encore was excellent: Last Exit, Comatose, Leatherman, Glorified G, Leash, Baba, Indifference.

The boot sounds great.

I agree...amazing.
