I understand when people argue sports teams, they usually argue for the city they are from.
With Pearl Jam we are all on the same team.
We all like Pearl Jam.
Why put down a show that somebody really enjoyed or say that this show will not be that good.
Just enjoy.
Well said. It's not like there's a finite amount of amazing PJ shows...just cause one rocks doesn't mean the next one is gonna suck. Just enjoy the shows you are lucky enough to attend...and if someone is really excited about a show you didn't get to see, maybe get some joy by living vicariously.
I don't know if I am the only one but I am sick of all the hype for the MSG shows. Camden 1 and Bonnaroo were just as good. The MSG show was great but please don't call it the best PJ show ever. I can think of 2 shows I attended off the top of my head that blow it away. State College 03, and the Gorge 06 night 1.
I totally think that Camden I AND II were better. MSG was all the same songs that were played in Camden I and II except II had other rare ones.
I am glad I was able to finally see them in MSG and I had a great time and trip with my friends to NY but I would not do it again.
Camden two nights is good enough for me.
MSG was built up way to much for it to really deliver.
Get em a Body Bag Yeeeeeaaaaa!
Sweep the Leg Johnny.
It's just East Coast Bias. Shake it off. I will confess, though, Randall's Island night one was f'n insane. I am so glad I worked extra hours at McDonald's back then to afford the tickets.
I don't think it is about the set list....it is about the energy in the building. I've been to a lot of shows and the roar of the crowd in that building is like nothing else I've ever felt....you can feel it in your bones!

I gotta say, MSG does tend to get over hyped, but I'm sure I would say how awesome the shows were if I was able to attend. As for fans down south sucking, that just isn't the case. I've lived in atlanta for two years, and when I tell people here that pearl jam is my favorite band and i've seen them a bunch of times, they usually think it's cool and ask questions. Even my 9th graders know who PJ are down here (I teach at a school that is a stone's throw from athens and most don't know who rem are). When I lived up north, I got a lot of "you like pearl jam? the 90's are over, dude." I'm drunk, but people should stop shit talking other shows. Honestly, sometimes pearl jam fans can be douche bags. I include myself in that statement.

I agree 100%
ive always looked at concerts like going to a sporting event where my (our) team always wins.
and a great show is like mariano rivera pitching the top of the 9th in the world series and sritking out three in a row, all with a nice mccready solo as the soundtrack.
Im a million miles away from home and I cant find a telephone...

i'll tell you what's not over hyped: your ability to complain about anything.

I would have to say as a first time visitor to the city it is a shithole. Sorry.

New York is the greatest fucking place in the world. I feel truly at home when I am there. Unfortunately I don't live there.
I pledge to you a government that will not only work well, but wisely, its ability to act tempered by prudence, and its willingness to do good, balanced by the knowledge that government is never more dangerous than when our desire to have it help us blinds us to its great power to harm us.

Ask people around the world "Which is better: NYC or Vermont?"
Lets see which wins.
Actually, lets see who knows where Vermont is.
vermont, easily.
unfortunately some pj fans are elitists, and it shows when shows are played at msg and boston. not everyone, but some. it makes the boards unbearable (actually they have been lately, i rarely post anymore).
considering what was supposedly on the setlist for night 1, the msg shows were weak. people there got robbed.

No, you definitely have to be there to understand.
The fucking floor was moving under my feet. I swear to God. A concrete floor.
At first, I just thought it was just in my head. Then Ed asked, "When the stage moves, can you guys feel it, too?" And I was like ... "Yeah!" It was a really, really weird feeling.
Maybe the MSG shows are overhyped. Maybe. But I've never been to a show with the atmosphere of the MSG shows in my damn life.
everybody wants the most they can possibly get
for the least they could possibly do
Every PJ show I have seen ahas been great but the MSG shows are usually at the bottom of the list. The sound there isn't that great, compared to PNC and Susquahanna Bank Center. I guess I'm just biased because i prefer to see them at smaller venues instead of big arenas.

And the only thing worse than both of these things is when people don't use there/their/they're correctly. LOL.
I have seen 7 PJ shows in NYC, all of them were magnificent.
Pearl Jam must love playing there and that is all I care about!
