    Great performance. There's something about the way Mike started his solo that is just perfect. It's like he's saying "Step aside boys, I got this!"

    Best PJ on TV in a very long time. Did not expect that. Band tighter than ever and EV surprisingly in top form.

    Yeah. A lot better than the days of Olé on Fallon.

    MYM was GREAT.

    I honestly cannot thank the selfless individual that was responsible for turning what was one of the worst birthdays of my life into one of the best enough. In a span of like 5 hours I went from being completely screwed over by a bunch of people to having one do something for me I will NEVER, EVER, EVER forget. Seeing PJ play RITFW from 9 feet away from me, and Eddie crowd surfing from even less than that.. Incredible, incredible, incredible. ...

    Thank you for helping restore my faith in humanity 10c.

    Eddie crowd surfed on the show? Where can I see that?!

    And I noticed that Colbert added some swag to his step after MYM. Yeah, he felt the PJ magic!
    The guys all looked great. Loved Eddie's t-shirt.

    Vedder didn't "crowd surf". He did run half way up the seating area on top of the seats though. Pretty damn cool though!

    Up till now I was reasonably content with the fact that I didn't win tickets. After watching the show I want to throw caution to the wind (I live in upstate NY so it isn't impossible to get there), head down on Saturday, and stand outside the perimeter of central park to at least listen to the show if I I don't manage to get in. It's easy enough to get a train into penn and stay with my daughter in Brooklyn.

    Wow........ that was the best PJ televised performance since Dave in 1996. You guys(Suzie, Chris and all the others) really represented the fans well. I loved the chant. Colbert was feeding on the energy. I bet he wishes he had a crowd like that everyday.

    I don't know - sure looked like quasi crowd surfing from where I stood (about 20 feet to the right). Also, I love that I am debating this instead of catching up on the work I missed yesterday... Either way, it was truly remarkable experience - bring on GCF!

    Glad you guys had a great time!

    I'm hoping to go Friday. Any sense of whether they'll release more tickets or if you can get in without a ticket?

    I'm telling you, I watched him the whole way as he was walking off the stage after the show ended and he was completely amped. He had no idea that was gonna happen just like everyone else didn't and he definitely got his first good hit of the PJ high. It was so cool to see it. We had to be his favorite crowd so far of the new version of the show.

    He had to settle himself down for a few minutes before they recorded the homage to Yogi Berra afterwards, which didn't even air due to how awesome RITFW was.

    I looked around at the non-PJ people around me during some of the performance - the looks on their faces were priceless. - one thing that was omitted from the TV interview, Stephen called Pearl Jam "Dad Rock" - after RITFW - I'm betting he regretted saying that. It was one of my favourite PJ live moments - and I am proud to say I am a Jammer as both the Band and its fans ripped the fucking roof of the Ed Sullivan theatre last night. KORITFW!!!!

    I just watched it again, Colbert was totally floored. He said like 5 times "You don't get to do that every day!".

    Off the charts. I wasn't expecting that vibe at all. I was at one of the Fallon tapings from 2013 and was standing behind Matt Cameron (check out the fool in the green sweater with a goofy grin in the videos during Sirens LOL) but this performance blew that one out of the water!!!

    Ok- WHAT a day! Got there with FrankieG around 10:40, ended up being 44th & 45th in line when all was said and done. Great to meet new friends (hi Nicole & SVRDhand13!!), and hang around with some old friends. Waited til 2:30, where they gave us all numbers, and told us to get back on line at 3:30. At this time we should have waited around stage doors to meet Mike & Jeff, but missed out on that. Congrats to all that met them! Such nice guys. I do have some consolation, as I have had the pleasure of meeting both before. Isn't it the best when the people we idolize are incredibly nice, as well? Awesome. Lined up in numerical order at 3:30, where they brought us inside the building and we waited some more, until we were seated. Frankie and I thought we were going to get these prime seats, in a 2nd row seat of 5, but two were roped off, so we were brought to the leftmost side of the 3rd row, which offered us lots of space to rock out and jump around in, which was great! A comedian warmed us up, Stephen came out for a short Q&A, and the show began!

    What a treat to be in that audience. We were LOUD!!! I'm pretty sure Colbert's staff was even impressed! It was awesome to have the band being interviewed, was totally not expecting that. MYM was fantastic, sounded great in studio, and even better watching the YouTube vid. Definitely the best the band's sounded on TV in a while, and easily one of the cleanest and best MYM's to date. After a rousing 'ONE MORE SONG!' chant, all parties agreed, and RITFW was unleashed, with Stephen guesting. Everyone was having a blast, there were even members of Colbert's stage staff who were bouncing up and down the whole time with us! It really got me pumped for this Saturday! Can't wait for GCF!!
