During the Text Messaging pre-show, a "Let's Go Rangers (chant)" came up on the screen and I heard 3 people chant. And this was right before the show, where a reaction for the text messages were happening on pretty much a text-by-text basis. People certainly were paying close attention at this point. SO! When Eddie says it, all of a sudden a louder "Let's Go Ranger" chant breaks out louder than I've even heard at Ranger games. Argh... when the almighty Eddie Vedder says it, all of a sudden the place is filled with 22000 Ranger fans.

    Most people were confused because they thought it was a cheer for park rangers, that is until Ed cleared things up.

    I wasn't there, but I think there's a chance---however slight---that more people are focused on Eddie during the show than are focused on the text messages before the show.

    how old are you? at WPB someone sent a message saying "if you're a pearl jam fan raise your hand" do you REALLY think that everyone raised their hands? get real.

    don't you just hate it when Ed steals your thunder like that?
    Isn't it enough that he's the lead singer in the best band in the world,
    gets to travel all over the world and even takes batting practice with
    a major league baseball team.

    Oh Ed, let the man have his 15 minutes.

    No no no... believe me... at this time. Atleast 60-70% of the arena was watching and reacting to every single text that popped up there.

    And also, my anger was just a joke to be excessive and dramatic.

    I was singing Betterman on the train yesterday, and nobody else fucking sang along! Then of course Pearl Jam plays it at their concert and everyone sings! You're all a bunch of sheep!

    A bit later, on the escalator, as we sheep were still basking in the glow of yet another near out-of-body PJ experience, I yelled out "Let's go Rangers!" and my sheepmates followed suit. Lots of them. Oh, and Eddie was nowhere to be found.

    But this was post-Eddie's approval, and so Pearl Jam fans realized that the Messiah has granted acceptance and endorsed the New York Rangers. At this point, it was cool to be a Ranger fan in the Pearl Jam community.

    actually people near me were saying lets go buffalo or lets go sabres or a couple of other teams.

    Jeez, what's the big deal? I have no idea who the Rangers are (sports don't interest me in the least) so I wasn't chanting but its what crowds that are primarily dudes 15-40 do. Ed was going with it, letting people get the energy out before he moved on.
