    Awesome show, but all you people in the pit sucked, never been around so many ass holes. Zero respect for others. Sorry if I blocked your view for a second or wanted to get closer for a few songs. Get ahold of yourselves no reason to get so shitty. You all suck

    That was a little harsh.
    My buddy who was in the pit reported the same thing. Lots of d-bags, men and women, pushing to get in front of others or showing disrespect to people around them. Maybe a lot of GA tickets were resold second-hand? I was in reserved and the fans around me were incredible and we had a blast.

    That the band can keep themselves open to the breadth of their catalog and dust off some old souvenirs is wonderful. I'm still learning, I'm still enjoying, I'm still discovering something new in the songs and myself. Theirs is a well-practiced, gracious state of being. Thanks guys.

    When eddie went around with the wine bottle, he got to me and I'm 25 but look 16 so he starts to pour and looks at me and says I need to see some ID so I only got a few drops. Luckily my girlfriend got a half a cup which was mightly enjoyed by both of us. Thank you PJ for another memory of a lifetime.

    I hope this will mean the end of Pearl Jam at Wrigley Field....I get the whole charm of the venue and the area (I've lived 2 miles away for 8 years) but I really want a two night stand at Alpine, Allstate, or even United Center next year. Baseball stadiums are just not good places for major rock concerts,

    I still can't put it into words. Last night may have been the best show I've ever seen. OCEANS (completed Ten for me, at my tenth show), Footsteps, State Of Love And Trust, Immortality, Black Red & Yellow (with a Dennis Rodman appearance on stage), Deep, I Am Mine, Of The Earth, Throw Your Arms Around Me, Don't Gimme No Lip (Stone singing!!!!!), BLOOD!!! Greatest band on the fucking planet!

    Catharsis is the best word for this night. This show was the feeling of listening to Ten on repeat ad infinitum through most of the 90's (then Vs. and Vitalogy and those that followed.) This show was the feeling of blasting Rearviewmirror on every "clear my head" drive for the past 23 years. Singing along to every word with a group of "my people" in the open air on one of the most beautiful nights of my life. Listening to the band sounding as good or better than ever before. The ebbs and flows of soft to intense and back again, never knowing what would come next. All the emotions. All the joy and sorrow and excitement and connectedness. Thank you to everyone involved for sharing in the journey.

  • My wife and I just went to our first show last night. After the years of waiting and anticipation, the reward well outweighed the torment of the wait. After 100s of shows from other bands, My first Pearl Jam show is the greatest show I've ever seen....Period.

    Agreed....being in GA reminded me of the Rolling Stones concert at the Indpls Motor Speedway last year. Just not a good concert venue.
