My wife and I drove in from NJ and headed right to the box office to get her tickets after parking. She let her 190xxx membership lapse years ago and only rejoined this year so we weren't expecting anything too close. We were just happy to be in the building. Needless to say, we were blown away when she got her tickets and saw they were front row center floor seats directly behind GA. We were smiling ear to ear.
We found our seats and had a blast being so close. It was cool to have the rail to lean on and I was hoping Mike might pass in front of us during Alive like I saw him do from the 200 level the night before. The crowd in our section was extremely energetic and nobody was acting like an idiot. I thought the band and the crowd were on fire. After seeing the two Philly shows and the first MSG show, I wouldn't have minded them mixing it up a little more but I was glad my wife got to hear many of her favorites.
The night went from great to amazing during Porch. We watched Ed make his way off the stage and I assumed he was going to wade into the GA crowd up front like he usually does to finish the song. But he kept walking and ended up making the turn into the walkway that separated GA from the floor seats. People were slapping hands with him as he walked by and me and my wife were leaning forward ready to take our turn. I got confused when he stopped right in front of us and I wasn't sure what was going on. But then Ed proceeded to climb up the rail directly in front of us. We were holding his arms as he climbed onto the rail and then one of the security guys from the band told us to hold his legs as he stepped onto the top of the rail. Ed belted out the rest of the song standing over us as we braced his legs. I was little concerned he was going to fall at one point. And then he hopped off and headed back to the stage to finish it up. It all happened so fast that it didn't seem real. I never expected him to make his way halfway out across the floor and never in a million years did we expect Ed to end up singing in front of our faces. Amazing. We even got Mike walking right in front of us later during his Alive solo too. Still riding the high from the show and so thankful to the ten club for hooking us up with great seats.
how awesome is that man!!congrats!!happy for u!!

Really truly shits me people are complaining bout the setlist, have you've become that much of a setlist snob where you have to dissect every show? Maybe don't go anymore and let someone else who doesn't give a shit bout seeing evenflow for the 20th or alive for the 15th time. Better yet you can take a break and get food and merch and piss during a song like black or porch or Jeremy. You got 10 repeats out of 64 songs and you got the guitar player and bass player from cheap trick playing no surrender and then you just randomly get Sting doing driven to tears with the band, are you fucking kidding me, wow that's awesome. I am truly so so glad I separated myself from this fanbase. With that being said it's time for me to go back to in hiding.
Christ some of you act like we are making fun of your first born. Relax, It s a show. Some people thought last night was the best thing since sliced bread and others didn't like the repeats/set list. It s all good because opinions are like you know what.
Great show!! No it wasn't "epic" but a damn solid show. The band really looked like they were having a good time and feeding off the crowd. Eddie went into the front twice to share the mic, around between the GA and seated floor (watching the GA crowd follow him like bees from my seats up top was funny), Mike around through the same area too. Mike tossed his shirt at the end!! I've seen some great setlists but band ENERGY makes a different. They can plow through a mixed setlist, which I love, but when they're not feeling the crowd it makes a distinctive difference.
4 shows in 5 days from 5 guys in/near their 50s is damn impressive. Yes Eddie's voice is going to give out. The other option is to not play as many. Count your blessings they still tour decently heavy schedules.
Shout out to Section 227 - they were killing it! The whole arena was standing! I don't think that's been the case for most shows I go to.
Why no mention of Eddie thanking the securities guards? "We're not Billy Joel, we're just a bunch of punks compared to him and security has treated us so nice" - something to that extent. Also a portion of the GA pit linked arms and swayed to YLB, which was cool to see from up above.
If you're bored by the setlist don't go to as many shows. Then you'll be more thankful. I did 3 in a row in '06 and noticed myself getting a bit bored (and that was a GREAT tour) so now I try to do only 2 per tour, or space them out.
DC '03 - Reading '04 - Philly '05 - Camden 1 '06 - DC '06 - E. Rutherford '06 - The Vic '07 - Lollapalooza '07 - DC '08 - EV DC 1 & 2 '08 (Met Ed!!) - EV Baltimore 1 & 2 '09 - EV NYC 1 '11 (Met Ed!) - Hartford '13 - GCF '15 - MSG 2 '16 - TOTD MSG '16 - Boston 1 & 2 '18 - SHN '21 - EV NYC 1 & 2 '22 - MSG '22

That's Awesome!
So glad you got that experience!!
I don't know if I could be responsible for holding Ed's legs. That's a lot to ask. Hahaha
Finished my 5 show run for this tour and I think my 40th overall somewhere in there. I don't care what this band plays, I always walk out of a show happy ( and exhausted) The way this band interacts with the crowd is second to none. Ed hitting the rail between GA and the floor seats, handing the mic to people on the rail now as well. Mike just absolutely going frickin crazy every single night. A Pearl Jam show is just my happy place, always will be, always leave there satisfied ( like the risotto ( seinfeld reference in case you didn't know)).
There's no better feeling for me as a fan as knowing someone who went Sunday night for the first time texting me Monday morning saying " what have I been missing the last 25 years", and then goes and proceeds to go back last night.
See ya'll at Fenway

was that vinyl that got tossed at the end of surrender? any idea what it was? is that a thing cheap trick does live?
There is a lyric in Surrender that goes "Got my Kiss records out".....Cheap Trick used to toss out a Kiss record, but I think they now toss out one of their own records, which often include a bunch of Rick's guitar picks attached.

I know I'm an asshole, proud of it too, pisses people off. I'm far from acting like it's my first born, just tired of people being entitled to something that wasn't there's and won't ever be. This is NOT FOR YOU, never was for you, well you know the rest. This band does it what it does, don't like it or are tired of only seeing 10 repeats, then stay the fuck home. Here's an even better idea, go to the bathroom or go get merch or get something to eat. Do you know how many fucking local people go shutout or had to go to the secondary market, a lot of people. This fanbase should be fucking grateful this band still puts out at a good concert for a great price and aren't like U2 or other bands. Few years back I saw Bruce at msg for $120, wanna know where my seat was, section 420. Last night I saw PJ in the same damn building and had GA for the same damn price.
Ron: I just don't feel like going out tonight
Sammi: Wanna just break up?
This show ends my little tour for now until Fenway 2 and Wrigley 1. I was surprised not to hear any avocado or binaural. However, the moment I'm standing in a PJ concert listening to my favorite band play any song they wish and I have an ounce of disappointment in the songs they choose is the moment I kick myself in the face to wake myself up and re-evaluate my life and my gratitude list.
This show was simply awesome! Many repeats but they all sounded great. It was my 16 yo daughter's first real PJ show (she went to GCF). She's a true fan at this point and to watch the delight in her face when each song started up was indescribable. It was like experiencing it all for the first time again. We had perfect 10c seats for her first show. 102. Dead center. 2nd row in the section. Straight back from the stage. She could see the lights, stage and the entire crowd without turning her head at all!
Mom look how everybody in the pit starts jumping at the same time!
Wow!!! everybody screams "MIND YOUR MANNERS!!!!" Exactly together!
ONCE (fist pump) UPON A TIME....
12345 against 1 (with the fingers counting in the air)
Yeah FUCKERS!!! He still stands!!! (Yes she yelled fuckers with the rest of us. )
I got very emotional during small town. I guess just thinking about my life and how it's changed and what my expectations were and having her there with me. It was intense.
Man trilogy. I have no words for that one. Clearly betterman is a very special song to me. To hear all three of those in a row was definitely a rare treat
Before the tour I'd hoped to hear garden, deep, leash. Got them all.
Mikes solo on all or none is just so bluesy and heartfelt. It really speaks to me. He's such a rock star. Sucks that the crowd was more concerned about their beer at that point.
My daughter also wanted present tense and breath so that was awesome for her to hear them back to back
Those were the highlights but every moment of every PJ concert is a highlight for me. I'm so grateful to this band for all they have done and continue to do. I'm so grateful to my family for making it possible for this working mom of 3 to take off for 36 hours and fly from NJ to SC for Greenville and for holding our lives together while I just saw 4 shows in 5 days! Gratitude. I'm so grateful for my brother for being my PJ buddy and making the entire experience full of everything we wanted it to be.
Funny note.... My daughter has seen Sting at both of her PJ shows
Well said, Jen! I'm so happy you were able to experience it all with your daughter and have an amazing 4 shows (5, if you include our Greenville show!) I would have died to see Sting playing with them....the Police were my Pearl Jam before Pearl Jam. Can't wait until Fenway!!!!

Had an awesome time last night. The garden is the absolute best! So happy I made the trip out here. Surrender was awesome. Finally heard Leash live for the first time. Deep, Breath, All or None and present tense were all great. Great crowds for both nights...makes the shows so much more enjoyable when everyone is singing alone and going crazy. Good stuff all around.
I was at both shows and now I'm suffering from post-PJ depression, I want more! The shows were great, the band is on fire, Mike is unbelievable. I'm easy to please, I can't complain about a PJ show. It's such a thrill to have them still touring and to be able to see them after all these years. I love these guys, no one compares!
I escaped it...a life wasted...I'm never going back again
Cool show, we are spoiled on east coast and msg has the bar raised so high it's almost impossible to live up to expectations. If ha liked the guest appearances you prob loved the show.
Present tense in encore was amazing. Breath/SOLAT was awesome and homage to 98 msg which was definitely done intentionally. Man trilogy was cool and rare. No daughter or black was different and good. Like someone said this seems to be the "ten" tour which is cool. Every tour they switch things up. We prob won't see these tens for a long time and people will complain no garden or deep being played. Next tour we will get more backspace, avocado. They dust off diff songs each tour, gotta enjoy what ya get. This msg was not as amazing as msg1 2003 or msg2 2010 but still great.
The night went from great to amazing during Porch. We watched Ed make his way off the stage and I assumed he was going to wade into the GA crowd up front like he usually does to finish the song. But he kept walking and ended up making the turn into the walkway that separated GA from the floor seats. People were slapping hands with him as he walked by and me and my wife were leaning forward ready to take our turn. I got confused when he stopped right in front of us and I wasn't sure what was going on. But then Ed proceeded to climb up the rail directly in front of us. We were holding his arms as he climbed onto the rail and then one of the security guys from the band told us to hold his legs as he stepped onto the top of the rail. Ed belted out the rest of the song standing over us as we braced his legs. I was little concerned he was going to fall at one point. And then he hopped off and headed back to the stage to finish it up. It all happened so fast that it didn't seem real. I never expected him to make his way halfway out across the floor and never in a million years did we expect Ed to end up singing in front of our faces. Amazing. We even got Mike walking right in front of us later during his Alive solo too. Still riding the high from the show and so thankful to the ten club for hooking us up with great seats.
Yes! I ended up on the "second rail", front row in the reserved seats behind GA. Saw Eddie hop off the stage and out of nowhere he was coming down the aisle between GA and the seats right towards me. Was one of the ones lucky enough to give him a pat on the back as he went by. Then he stopped directly in front of my friend who was 3rd row in seats behind GA and climbed up on the rail. Unbelievable moment.
Can't believe people are complaining about a show that included Breath, Leash, Garden, and All or None in terms of rarities ... 2 great special guest covers ... and over 30 songs in total.
Completely agree. If you're feeling this way might be good to not go to as many shows, and it will make the next one that much better. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, hadn't seen the band in 3 years until Friday night, Philly 2 and MSG 2 were well worth the wait for me. I don't need to hear Sweet Lew, Hitch Hiker, Cropduster or Bugs and I think the band doesn't play those rarely heard songs because they don't want to hear them either, either way they'll sell out 2 nights in NY/Boston/Philly/Chicago/LA and other cities. They're playing what they want to play and that's all I care to hear. I don't collect songs so I'd take Evenflow or anything off of LB/Backspacer any day of the week off of some of the songs they rarely play that are hard to listen to. My brother loved his first PJ show, was cool to see a first timers perspective on it.
I went to see a great show and they didn't disappoint. Philly 2 and last night were just that. Can't wait for Fenway, and will relish these 2 shows I just went to until then. That encore of Beatles/All or None/Pendulum/Present Tense/Breath/SOLAT/Porch was incredible as was Betterman in the main set, and the covers/guests were a great surprise. Section 119 was rocking out all night, I was at Philly 2 also with similar seats and both crowds seemed about the same to me, very loud and very into it from where I was sitting. And honestly, I remember seeing more mass exits to the bathroom/concession stands during Philly 2 overall than last night, especially for Baba/YLB at the end when a lot more people cleared out at Philly. Seemed like more of the crowd stuck around last night. I would give Philly a slight edge over this show for me personally because of Ten, but MSG wasn't disappointing by a long shot.
I was in section 119 as well. On the back wall, so I did not have to worry about blocking anyone being 6'5" tall.
Tremendous show. So happy to have the privilege of seeing Cheap Trick and Sting play with the boys.

4 shows in 5 days from 5 guys in/near their 50s is damn impressive. Yes Eddie's voice is going to give out. The other option is to not play as many. Count your blessings they still tour decently heavy schedules.

If you're bored by the setlist don't go to as many shows. Then you'll be more thankful. I did 3 in a row in '06 and noticed myself getting a bit bored (and that was a GREAT tour) so now I try to do only 2 per tour, or space them out.
