May 10, 2006 - One of, if not the very best Pearl Jam show I ever went to. Toronto, night 2. Unbelievable. It started with Release and then just kept getting better and better and better.....

Aside from the band being fantastic that night, the crowd was unforgettable. If you were there, thanks. I'll never forget it.

Listen to it tonight and remember how awesome it was.

    hey, I was at that show, and it was fucking incredible, the crowd was definitly top notch, the vibe through the whole show was intense.

    Loved to get Release as the opener, seems to be a staple of the Toronto shows. Plus, I got to hear Low Light, which is one of my favourite Pearl Jam songs, and Man Of The Hour sent goose bumps up my arms and really affected me when I heard it. That was quite a moment

    Glad you guys enjoyed it! I seem to remember listening to the bootleg when it first came out and really loving that version of Man of the Hour.

    Wasn't there but have the boot and it is my favourite PJ show to listen to. Crowd noise is amazing. Sounds like a church choir......
    I may have to make my way out to TO if they ever play there again.

    Some friends and I were reminiscing about one year ago today as well. Toronto II truly was an amazing show and certainly one of the best I have seen! The energy and synergy between the band and the crowd was on and the set list phenomenal! We also met some cool people at the Loose Moose pre and post show both nights. Thanks for the memories! PJ loves TO and TO loves PJ!

    Peace,

    Yes, please come back.....I think I cried 3 times that night......I still get chills when I listen to the bootleg......It's almost making me consider skipping my nan's b-day party in newfoundland this summer and go to Lollapalooza instead.
