The phones do kinda suck at times but to each their own. I’d rather have the option to record a few moments than have it like a tool concert with the lead singer losing his shit and kicking people out. People are paying hard earned money to watch a band so as long as it doesn’t interfere with my sight lines I have no major problem with them documenting a memory. I think there’s a happy medium. This is coming from somebody who probably took 5 30 seconds videos last night of mike ripping a solo.
To me, the drunk idiots, the disengaged fans, and the talkers are a lot worse. But again, to each their own! 😀
The disengaged ones are so frustrating, I agree! Last night there was one woman beside my partner who sat and looked at her phone 90% of the show. She did stand up and sway when they played Something Special - that's the one you like? Similar with the woman sitting in front of me.
But I ended up standing next to Jason Leung, the guy who travelled across North America in a van following the band in 2006, and that was great. While I was dancing and rocking out I bumped into him a few times and stepped on his foot once (okay, maybe twice) and when I apologized he was very chill about it and said that feeling the energy of the show was more important. It's so great to share that enjoyment with other fans.
my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf
In the clip you linked to, you can actually hear the CLANG of the note as he stepped off the stage. I was looking right at him as this happened and it was genuinely scary. It was a sincere relief to see that he seemed none the worse for wear once he was helped back up on the stage. I really thought he could have broken or severely sprained an ankle.
I was trying to link a clip that mentioned him and The EDge both fell off the stage during a tour opener in that arena ! I thought that was crazy but couldn’t figure out what I was doing 😂🙄
I was right by Mike when he slipped. Amazing that he landed it on both feet and didn't mess up ankle/knee. Yikes
He definitely had a look of shock on his face though. So did we.
Tob, I'm sorry your wife missed out, but thank you once again for your GA ticket!
Was a gem of a night I'll always hold dear. Love to the Yukoners, Manc, and Guadalajalans surrounding me 😀
I also have to add that it was perfect that the girl in the first row in front of me got her first tambourine because those two ladies stayed out overnight with cars passing by all night to get the rail, so way to go girls!

Saw Ed fall off the stage Cleveland 2003...thought he was done for. Looked terrible. Jim James did get seriously hurt falling off the stage a while back

I’d forgotten about that. Same side of the stage and everything!
Just chiming in to say an emphatic HELLLLL YES to the Hip tag. FINALLY. And man I would’ve lost my mind. RIP Gord. Here’s to a fantastic tour, fam!
Gord isn't far behind Eddie for me🇨🇦 What a start Wrigley seems like a long ways away. Hoping for epic shows and good health for the band and us fans...DM is a fucking great album!🔥

We had four fuckers behind us who talked all night. So besides drinking a lot and talking and then leaving at least 30 minutes early I don’t know what they got out of the night.
So happy to see NO BETTERMAN or EVEN FLOW!!! Also, love to see only three songs from Ten. I hope this trend continues
Oof, your post has reminded me that I'm probably going to see "Better Man" Monday night. I knew "Even Flow" was going to be coming and I was mentally prepared for it, but I had forgotten about "Better Man."
At 2:45 in this video Jeff asks Mike if he’s OK… Mike appears to say “I don’t know… It really hurts (points to his ribs/back)… I can play”… Hope he’s alright… that’s gotta hurt… 🙏

I was in the front row of that Cleveland 03 show, won the 10C lotto where they pulled randomly for the first two rows back in the day. That Fall Ed took was nuts, I remember thinking he broke his neck or something. The other guys came over while playing looking over the edge like "oh shit", but then he just got up REALLY pissed off, got helped back on stage and kept on going. Seen 60+ shows, and that was one of the best.
Old Man Yelling at Cloud here: Can people PLEASE put your cell phones away, stop recording so much and enjoy the show. We are watching our favourite band and yes you want to capture YOUR favourite moments but not most of the show! T00L and Jack White have a 'no cell phone' policy, it definitely keeps the audience way more engaged. It is very disrespectful in our church of Pearl Jam. Kills the emotions when I have to watch Ed and the boys through YOUR cell phone that you are holding up in front of my face or the bright light beside me the whole show. I am sure other people feel this way too. p.s I LOVED the show, I LOVE the new album and I am eternally grateful for every second I can spend time with my Pearl Jam family and watching one of the greatest bands on earth. It's a beautiful thing! See you Monday & I love you.
People aren’t going to stop recording, so my ask is that people not raise their phones above their head. It sucks when you have a nice clear view and some jag off raises their phone right in your line of sight.
Can anyone comment on how crowded the GA section was? I'm assuming tight up front and light on the sides/back, but wanted to check. Pics would be cool as well.
I love the word jagg off. We don't have that in the UK.
You do now!

I'm one who doesn't like to be crowded in and I would have felt comfortable with being in the PIT. Plenty of room to stand back from the crowd that was packed in tight to the stage.
I'm doing PIT in Portland and will be looking for that airy space in the back.

Thanks for the reply. The pit usually has room in the back, but wanted to double check. I don't need to have Eddie sweat on me. Would rather stroll in at 8:30 and enjoy some room towards the back. Still a great view.

It’s a regional insult from the Chicago area, and after moving out west, I miss it so I like to use it when I can!
NY/NJ has joik-offs. We don't say it any special way in Philly I don't think. Just water and anything with a long-o sound, which is untypable but at least 2 syllables.
And there are four syllables in "The Acme" (a supermarket chain).

But I ended up standing next to Jason Leung, the guy who travelled across North America in a van following the band in 2006, and that was great.
