Great shows in SC. So proud to have been at them, and my first show ever be Greenville where they were so ON IT they blew the roof off, Eddie's vocals were perfect, and although my partner didn't think so while there (we were off to side and had huge bass speakers distorting sound to us a bit, but I could tell through the noise that a special vocal was being laid down that night) She agrees now after hearing the bootlegs, both shows were awesome, greenville imo had a slightly better vocal (the shows were so different I don't feel right even comparing really), but we both decided Greenville, SC for vocals and Columbia SC for crowd being cool, although both crowds were way cool as well. Guess I just can't say enough about how blown away I was after wanting to see them for so long. I've said it in other posts, and I repeat, Thank you Pearl Jam for 2 glorious nights of art and friendship

I was at both of these shows as well, and couldn't agree more!!!
Getting VS in Greenville was INCREDIBLE...
and I loved the setlist and the flow of the Columbia show too!!
It really is refreshing hearing the point of view from a longtime fan getting to see Pearl Jam for the first time!!!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and I hope you are able to get to MANY more shows in the future!!

Awesome, I hope to be here to share, if nothing but my poetry. I still don't have words to explain what I experienced. I think that is my favorite part. I always like a movie that can surprise me at the end lol. It was my #1 bucket list item, and look at the 2 shows I happen to see, who could describe how that feels? woo hoo

It was my first GA PJ experience, and it was amazing. Both South C shows were.

I figured this thread would be a safe place for my first post (!). Long time fan but have only seen the band twice, both times in Columbia (missed out on seeing them in '94 in New Orleans due to TM cancellation). Have to say I enjoyed this 2nd one more, probably due to awesome seats and the fact that when I saw them in 2008 I had been kind of off the band for a few years. Came back to my senses when all of the PJ20 was going on. Anyway finally listened to the boot today and it really is hard to put into words just how amazing the show was. I don't think I'll ever tire of hearing Given to Fly live. Or the MLB covers. Or hearing Eddie talk/interact with the crowd. So ready to do it again but will have to settle (ha) for TOTD in Philly.

Just listened to the boot for the first time.
Very good show.
Was at Myrtle Beach for the week and took the journey to Columbia.
Great to hear Oceans for only the 2nd time in 38 shows.
Really interesting and cool first encore with Rise, Sleight and Yesterdays.
had a great time although the drive back to Myrtle was much further than I thought.
