    Just got back to the airbnb.

    First just want to say it was privilege to attend show that so many couldn't , but mixed reaction for me. Felt like I was at this awesome show, but not really a part of it. My seats were nose bleed behind stage so I knew my view wasn't going to be great. Problem with MSG is that upper concourse means there is a low ceiling that slopes down and I could only see about 30% of the arena. When standing, people on the back few rows could not see the screens so there were stretches of the show where you really couldn't see any of the band members other than back of Boom due to the hanging lights. Some of my favorite "lesser" songs were played at this show, but it was hard to get into it in that area. I could tell crowd was singing loudly, but the sound doesn't translate well to that area. I think the only sections like this were the ones directly under the top level

    Again, awesome show, just a disclaimer for people that may be sitting in this area tomorrow! Leaving arena, I noticed the sections on the side were not near as bad as where I was

    Looking fwd to tomorrow when I'm at least in the 200 level

    That was beyond amazing. Best main set I've seen. Chole/crown was amazing, def one of my highlights of seeing this band. So can't wait for GA tomorrow
    Ron: I just don't feel like going out tonight
    Sammi: Wanna just break up?

    10c seats in section 102 directly in front of Ed at the back of the arena behind the sound board but high enough to see over GA. Sound, crowd and band were absolutely fantastic. So much energy. My fave PJ show to date.

    Went solo to this one and loved every second of it. First set probably best I've ever seen (maybe Nassau 03 rivaled it). In Hiding so underrated (not on these boards, but in general) and so great tonight. Release never gets old. Took me 17 shows to get it and I've been spoiled since. Just an incredible night from a band that seems to get better with every tour. Missed Philly 2 and I'm feeling a whole lot fucking better about it than I did Friday night... Need sleep to get ready for tomorrow - show # 30. So many possibilities! Best band ever.

    Great set - tough to match Philly but they pulled out (most) of the stops - should be an amazing set tomorrow night. They never fail to bring it at MSG.

    I'll preface this by saying I know a lot of people didn't make it in the building, and I'm incredibly grateful to have been one of those who did. That being said, this is #3 for me this year.

    The crowds at Philly 1 and 2 seemed to have sooo much more energy than the crowd tonight, aside from perhaps the "greatest hits" type songs. This may be entirely too subjective. Had a seat in 213, where there were I kid you not 40 or so people directly in front of me who sat through the entire show. Had 10C for both Philly shows.

    Setlist was awesome though. Really stoked to hear Go, Rats, Down, Whipping, The End. Got Release last show but always down to hear it two nights in a row. And like I said, all the mainstays sounded fantastic tonight, particularly Black and Alive. Not a fan of Crown of Thorns being in such heavy rotation these days but the accompanying solo tonight was fantastic.

    Crawling in bed right now to get some rest for tomorrow. Think my lukewarm opinion of tonight relative to the Philly shows might also be influenced by how absolutely drained I am from following this tour. Averaging about 4 hours of sleep/night the past few days.

    While this show ranks near the bottom for me, it's still better than any other non-PJ show I've ever been to. I've had so much fun following this band this year that I'm playing with the idea of selling my MSG Radiohead tickets to go to one more Pearl Jam show instead.

    Main set was amazing, especially DTE. Wish they came out hard for encore 1 but energy was insane. Had section 103 with my friend's 500xxx number. I have GA tomorrow.

    99.9% sure that was Matt Cameron's son playing guitar on RITFW. He's done it before, and I mean he looks just like him. Good show, wild to feel the floor bouncing at MSG. Jealous of the people behind the stage and side stage lower bowl. My floor seat wasn't terrible and I had great seat mates.

    Hasta mañana.

    I'll second the opinion that this really did feel like a warm-up for something crazy awesome tomorrow. No Avocado songs here or at the prior two shows. Hoping to hear a lot tomorrow in celebration of its 10th year of existence.

    First full PJ show ever for me! (I saw them at Global Citizens Fest, but that was only an hour long set)...Great people in my section, 216. Amazing energy from the crowd.

    Highlights for me was Release, Jeremy, and Why Go, but, frankly, everything was on fire tonight. Place was shaking during some parts of the show. Loved the back and forth with that Kenneth guy, hilarious. Also, was that John McEnroe sitting of to the side there? They threw him on the big screen briefly.

    The band and crowd were great. Unfortunately I wasn't a huge fan of the set list (wasn't bad or anything). There were some highlights for me like rats, down, whipping and porch is always great live. The two covers were different (I'll admit I didn't know what they were).


    Looking forward to night 2

    What a show. They were not fucking around in that first set! One of the best first-sets I've ever seen, Crowd was totally engaged the whole night-- typically MSG crowd, maybe even next level.
    Had a great time and generally around good chill 10clubbers. a few beers were had, a few bathroom breaks, some out-of-tune singing, but nothing out of line. Oh, wait, one little incident (section107), to the woman in front of me who sat most of the night and then threw up on the chair/clothes of the woman in front of her - i do hope you feel better and are ok, I also hope that you take it down a notch for the next show -- i can't imagine you enjoyed that. Don't worry, someone else cleaned up your mess. And to the absolutely beautiful woman with the glasses who was the recipient of vomit woman -- so sorry. You looked disgusted and in disbelief. I guess you lost the lottery tonight- hope it didn't ruin your show! Unfortunately, these thins happened. I guess be glad no drunken bro fell out of his seat and knocked you over a couple of rows (see Philly story).

    Oh, and here are some photos i took:

    Hey anybody have printed on tickets from stubhub or ticketmaster that say the time of the show is 8:00pm instead of 730pm. Just want to help my friend out who thinks he's about to get scammed. Let a brotha know

    Yes, that was McEnroe down low, he even caught tambourine Ed threw to him!

    Awesome show, enough said!
