MSG 2010 (They need to come back ASAP)

The Garden 2010 might have been hands down the 2 best shows back to back this band has ever played. Watching video for the first time in a very long time of both. Just look at the Setlist. Night 1: http://pearljam.com/setlists/1025/2010/20598/madison_square_garden
The opening hard ones set the tone : Breakerfall, Last Exit, Animal, Severed Hand. Highlights: Small Town, Evolution (bouncing stage returns), Love Reign O'er Me. The 2 encores are pretty absurd. I mean from Love Reign O'er Me on...State, Once, Porch then Jeremy, Leash, Mankind (nice to see?), Crazy Mary, I believe in Miracles, Alive. Crazy.

Night 2 was even more insane. Opening with Corduroy, Hail, Hail, and Evolution. Best version of Nothingman I've ever heard. Better Man was insane, Hunger Strike! Better Man, Black, Hunger Strike, Alive, and Ledbetter in one encore.

I should be studying for my Bio test, but as you can see I got distracted. lol. What a way to end the U.S. tour. So much energy in the building. The band sounded fantastic and their energy for these shows was unlike I've ever seen. It's going to be 5 years PJ! It has been way too long! Brooklyn was great, but I can guarantee a return to the Mecca will crush those shows.Let the stage bounce once more.

The two best back to back shows were Spectrum 3 and 4..... But I was at both of those MSG shows and the first night was awesome but that second night was definitely one of the best shows I've seen.

When Bridwell came out and nailed Cornell's part I got chills. I definitely need a reason to hit the Garden again.
