Hopefully plastic nation has called it quits, hung up his or her gloves, retired, etc. He or she wouldn't dare to respond again. If he or she does I will be waiting with hundreds of others.
but mainly it is do to the circumstances and the people we met.
I totally agree with you on that.
MSG shows were great and such a fun time.
Then came the Hartford and Boston one show. Two shows I didn't plan on seeing. I winged it and just something about those two shows made it so refreshing for me. I've always been a fan but I felt reborn again as a fan. If that makes sense. lol
Wow. Spoiled doesn't begin to describe your comments.
First, tickets aren't a guarantee, its an opportunity to get in before the rest of the world, a chance. One few other bands even afford their fans. Second, expecting the band to break curfew every night and play for 3 hours is an impossible standard, that few (if any) other bands do as regularly as this band.
Your expectations are completely out of whack. Perspective is needed.
Not sure how many people can relate to anything you wrote...you got to see them 8 times and you are upset about their ticket system? You saw them 8 times but because they played 9 songs from the previous night the show suffered?!
Dude.
I was at both Mansfield shows and the energy the boys played with both nights, as well as the brilliance of their musicianship was a sight to behold (have you ever felt the ground of an outdoor venue shake before? - betterman)
I can't imagine a group of guys on stage and 20,000 people having so much fun at the same time...it was a special atmosphere and if you weren't so worried about how many rare songs were played you may have enjoyed it yourself.
I've seen them around 40 times now and some of the shows on this tour were the most enjoyable and memorable. the band and audience reactions were unforgettable, the energy off the charts. Mansfield 1 and 2 rank right up there..and I was there for Mansfield 3 in '03...
The brilliant part of Mansfield 2 was the band almost took on the curfew as a challenge, as if they were saying "we are going to rock as hard as we can as well as we can...we don't need to break curfew to have a special show."
The show was a blur. went so quickly you had no concept for time, each song they performed incredibly well. I turned around many times in that show to see smiling faces, people dancing, jumping, just geeking out all the way to the back of the lawn. Frankly, you don't see audiences respond that way to many bands today...or before. Their shows this tour almost seemed like a religous experience at times.
I see a lot of shows, at clubs, at arenas...I still haven't found a band that is better live or treats their fans better.
This band is in the upper echelon of rock history and if you can't see the forest thru the trees of your 8 shows you need to reassess.
I can't think of anything more fun than seeing these 5 guys (and boom!) play music.
My b-day gift to myself is my first tatoo. I know where its going and I'm pretty close on deciding on what I want. At the Hartford and Boston one show it kinda came to me.
Congrats!
I love tattoos, I have 19 though non are PJ related weird huh? I have decided on a PJ one already but dont know when im getting it done yet...
"Without the album covers, where do you clean your pot?" - EV
Wow, what I would give to have been at Mansfield 2... Wash AND Footsteps, I would still be recovering if I had been there. Unfortunately, like many, I couldn't afford to go to multiple shows, I saw both MSG shows, awesome. Hopefully next time I'll be able to afford to buy your tix off you.

... I guess the whole teaming up with Verizon, basically starting with Guaranteed for whatever they did with Verizon. But come on was that shit really ment to be put out there on a new technological platform? Its a kick in the face to its meaning...
Can I buy a noun for that sentence? This is killing us! WTF does this mean?!?!
I guess the whole teaming up with Verizon (ok I'm with you... you're thinking sell-out, corporate whorin' and all. I'm with ya!)
basically starting with (ruh-roh ... desperately needing a noun or something after this)
Guaranteed for (but no, um, noun? verb clause? the song? assurance of something goin down? WHAT?!?!)
whatever they did with Verizon. (amen!)
shit meant to be put out there on a new tech platform? (um u mean these intertube thingies? like uh, FLAC or MP3? Oh, maybe the VCAST restricted songs? that got you by the shorthairs?)
It's a kick in the face to its meaning... (it certainly is!)
----
meanwhile, I go to back-to-back RUSH concerts every time I can and see THE EXACT SAME SETLIST and party my ass off anyways. Cause when me and my buddies get together for PJ, for RUSH, for Iron Maiden, oh yeah as Ed said, "we're 17 again!"
Embrace your inner-17-year-old at concerts and you can't go wrong! Unless you pee'd in a cup when you where 17, then grow the F*%$ UP!
Consider yourself lucky and blessed...Most bands play the exact same show every night all tour long!! The only other band that comes close to mixing up their set lists like PJ was the Grateful Dead and we all know they are long gone :-(
Radiohead has done a great job of changing their sets each night, almost as good as PJ as far as that goes.
For one there was more than just the set list that I was unhappy about. Some of you figured out how to read more than two lines. But for those who do you probably get your news from Fox, or at least thats what I am betting.
There were plenty of other issues that I didnt even mention. Someone mentioned the whole Hartford things. And to name another at the Camden show there was a bunch of Corporate Suits behind me, took up 2 or 3 rows that were suppose to be fan club.
Also, I am not rich. I dont know where you people come up with this shit? Just because I went to 8 shows doesnt make me rich. I used up most of my vacation time, put 3,000 miles on my car, slept at rest areas for 2 hrs a night. I drive a friggin Kia so dont call me rich.
I also dont live in rockport anymore so you can take the bearskin neck thing and walk it yourself.
I didnt come here to offend people but 99% of you feel like my complaining was based off of the set list in boston, when it was a number of things. I mentioned a few, in the first post and more here. But if your going to respond to something why dont you read the whole thing first and if you do that, then I wont mind your criticism.
And no i wouldnt sell my ticks to a scalper or on ebay. I said it to get a rise out of some of the idiots in here, which many of you think I am but I dont really care.
Wow bro!! you need some friends or someone's shoulder to cry on. There's some anger issues.
It's all Ed's fault. Just blame Eddie, you will feel better.
The reason why they don't tour the South..... Ed's Fault
The ticket fiasco in Hartford... Ed
The same fuckin' setlist..... Ed
The reason why you were miserable.... Ed
Why the system always crashes when buying 10C tickets.. you guessed it.. ED (that hacker)
Reason why The New Orleans Saints suck.... ED (BASTARD)
I don't know if its that I am just getting older or what the deal might be. I saw PJ this tour 8 times and it just didnt feel the same. It did at times but it never lasted like it has before. I was very upset over the boston shows thinking there might be something special happening. But night 2 I walked out at the end just so disgusted with the setlist being so similar to the first night. Hartford I thought was a much better show, and then Eddie saying they would play past curfew which ended up being a lie.
Then to top it off the whole ticket issue today for the shows. I tried for both solo shows 45 minutes for the first one and almost 2 hours for the second. Poor planing and a poor system they run here.
I guess the whole teaming up with Verizon, basically starting with Guaranteed for whatever they did with Verizon. But come on was that shit really ment to be put out there on a new technological platform? Its a kick in the face to its meaning.
Ive even gone as far as possibly calling up tenclub and canceling my membership which I just renewed and selling my 25 or so posters.
I dunno maybe I just have to wait it out.
just pretty disappointed i guess.
...
Oh, I used to be disgusted And now I try to be amused.
But since their wings have got rusted... You know, the angels wanna wear my red shoes.

Hail, Hail!!!
People on this board just crack me the fuck up sometimes. You are complaining that there wasn't enough variety in a setlist when you went to see a band 8 times. Do the fucking math. They only have so many songs. Want a suggestion? Go see some other bands live once in a while. You might actually enjoy it. Man I love PJ as much as anyone, but going to see them 8 times is just freaking overkill. And then people say they would rather have more live shows than a new album. And things are getting a little stale? You don't say...I wonder why that is. All the while Pearl Jam are laughing all the way to the bank, because you are obsessive enough to go to 8 shows.
I know, I've seen 8 since 2000, and five of those were within a 2 week span just because it worked out like that.
good call.........4 of the shows i saw were the exact same circumstance as you described.
i personally........do not think i could see that many shows in one tour and i like pearl jam alot.
i guess we all have different ideas on what we would spend that much time on.
live and let live...unless it violates the pearligious doctrine.

MAYBE masturbating at the show could be more fun than just watching it.
But just maybe.
other than that.
you are right on!
