Well lets clear a few things up.

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.

oh man! We had already forgotten all about you!

But now that you bring it back up... people (I think) reacted to you being "disgusted" with the setlist... you are a spolied fan and you should limit the shows that you go to if you are going to feel "disgusted" because they didn't play the songs YOU wanted to hear.. or because they didn't manage to avoid playing repeats :rolleyes:

Why many didn't address your issue with the tickets today? Because many can understand today a lot of fans are frustrated with not getting tix, so in my case I chose not to say anything about that...

with that said I would like to clarify that I get my news from CNN except for my celebrity news I get those from TMZ

Hi APlasticNation,

Wow!!! 8 shows!!! I'd give just about anything to see PJ just once. Yep - still a concert virgin.

Think how fortunate you are that you were able to afford tickets to 8 shows. That you aren't a single parent, abandoned by a spouse, and struggling to care for your family much less afford the luxury of concert tickets. Or maybe be happy that your time isn't taken by an elderly parent who has become as dependent on you as your children and you have the freedom and time in your life to travel and attend amazing events.

Possibly look on the bright side that you were able to score tickets to 8 separate shows. It seemed like a lot of 10c members weren't as fortunate as you. Be happy that all the band members are still alive - can't say the same for many bands that have been around as long as PJ much less hailed from Seattle.

Sometimes ya just have to remember that the same glass that is 1/2 empty is also at the exact same time 1/2 full.

And as for the events I mentioned in my first paragraph, all things I have fought through or am currently doing battle with. And I will win and some day I'm gonna have a concert date to add to my signature.

Hang in there.

support exactly for what?

For being a whinny baby who didn't get 27 different songs for each of the 8 shows you attended...? or is it because Ed lied to you and didn't feel like paying a fine for breaking curfew....?

and you are callin' US a-holes??!?!?... GO FIGURE!

yea, no kidding.

anyway, i hate when people put sooo much emphasis on setlists. i saw 2 shows and the second, Hartford, was my favorite show ever...better than either Gorge show in '06 that i went to...and they played some good stuff there...obviously some of it has to do with the setlist, but mainly it is do to the circumstances and the people we met.

You are only responding like this because you read all of our posts and know how we all feel. You started this, don't try to snake out now. I knew you were trying to get a rise out of us when I called you out on it. Let it die your true colors have already shined through.

I caught 4 shows on this tour and loved it. I haven't had this much fun since the Canada 2005 shows. It was just a relaxing and fun time.

And I'll be 30 in less then a month.

ALRIGHT!!! You are joining me soon!

How can someone complain about seeing 8 shows this tour?

This is absolutely correct.... the setlist Im sure counts for everyone but its all about what you make of it....

Mansfield was a bigger expense that I thought it would be when I bought the plane tix with a week in advance and while I missed In Hiding twice by one day and I didn't get to see All Night live I wouldn't change my mind about going if I had the chance to do it again... Mansfield was great because the setlist was awesome and I got to see friends I hadn't seen in years and got to meet new ones that had yet to meet face to face after knowing each other online for years... at this point in my life (and Im talking outta maturity here as I will be 30 in 1/2 an hour) ... LOL

nah for real, Pearl Jam for me has turned into more than just the music, its everything that travelling to shows to see them bring with it, specially the wonderful people I get to hang with every single time...

Yup I'll be 30 on August 2nd.

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.

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.

Well said.

EWWWWW
Dirty Response

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.

MAYBE masturbating at the show could be more fun than just watching it.
But just maybe.

other than that.

saw them NINE times, and this fool is on CRACK!

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
