    No
    I was at the Live at the Garden show and you could definitely feel the motion on the floor. I've been to 5 or 6 Pearl Jam shows there and if I go again it's just proximity. They're great everywhere. There's no reason to stretch yourself on cost or travel time. Even when you're in there it just looks like an arena. We're not talking Red Rocks or the Gorge.

    PJ fans have overblown their expectations of this venue yeah it’s a great place to see the band or any band! Personally the best show I’ve see there was U2 after 9/11 by far the loudest most emotional show I’ve experienced! PJ 98 was my favorite from them. 
    Absolutely. Still my top concert of all time. Night 3. October 2001. U2. Can’t be matched…. Not one cellphone in sight… Pure emotion.

    I was there as well. I think I’ve seen U2 at MSG three times and the other two were fantastic in their own right, but the proximity to 9/11 lifted that show to another level.  Extremely emotional, especially when they scrolled the names of those lost.

    Yeah, for those of us who left the U2 plane after Joshua Tree,  not so much (I'm probably the only one!)

    Lack of infrastructure,  accessibility and reasonable egress are factors that impact enjoyability.
