    Not sure if it has been mentioned, but that shout out to Andrew Greenhall is member here Bathgate66!  It shows he hasn't been active since Dec. 2023, I know he had a kidney replacement years ago and don't know how he is doing currently as he isn't too active on SM.  But it was nice of Ed to mention him!
    He was in my section a few rows down. He seemed really touched by the shoutout.

    Get rid of Patriot (sorry Sil) and Just Breathe, drop Crazy Mary in front of Leash and you’ve got an amazing encore that still has 5 covers. Replace Patriot and Good Hope with any two PJ original stool songs (All or None? Parting Ways? You can pick any ones you want) and the crowd would still have been taken out of it. The problem wasn’t the covers per se. 

    They do need to give it a rest with RITFW though.

    Great point. Shout out Andrew
    That was very cool. I went to one of the 2008 shows with and interacted with on the massive New York Rangers thread on here that still exists somewhere.
    Hope you had a great show man! Let’s Go Rangers
    I did, Section 201 row three is cool because it's only four seats and you can lean on something for most of the show while you're standing up.

    I wasn't there, and don't necessarily disagree with your premise, but on paper 5 / 27 songs being covers is ridiculous for a band with this big a discography. 

    I want to hear Pearl Jam play Pearl Jam songs.

    Oh so GREAT to hear he was at the show, met him YEARS ago in Philly at a Tower Theater show.  Was hoping he was doing ok since he hasn't been around here lately.  If anyone is in touch with him, tell him Pure says HI!!!!

    I agree...I try not to complain too much but it does seem odd to me to play so many covers. Especially with shorter sets

    Had a great time in the pit. Great vibe, great crowd, band was on fire. What more can I ask for. Thank you PJ, 10C and the awesome fans in the pit. Thankful for all the memories this band creates. Cheers!

    100% agree with the sentiment of the main set being great, beginning of encores was a drag, but from Setting Sun on was fire again  ( Setting Sun needs to go back to being a closer)

    On some other notes.....a big boo to the two people next to me who literally sat the entire show, didn't even get up when the band took the stage.  I get it, not everyone are maniacs like us who stand the entire show, but come on

    Another big boo to Howard Stern, who we lost Red Mosquito for for Glorified G  (big downgrade in my book)

    On a positive note, saw Henrik Lundqvist, and as a big Rangers fan, that was pretty awesome.  He was having a great time.

    How about that giant guy in the pit… Robert!  That was a pretty funny sequence with Ed.  I later saw Ed take his phone and do some video recording with it.

    As for the political stuff, it was somewhat reminiscent of Long Island back in 2003 when Ed sparred with the George W Bush faithful during Bush Leaguer. Those same people that now despise George W., have grown up to be full blown Maga cultists. On the floor, last night,  I only heard a smattering of disdain from the cultists, but Ed pushed through.  Proud of my guy,  and my band.  
    How political did it get?  When I was young, naive and idealistic, I enjoyed having the band speak up.  Speaking out against G.W. Bush, war, doing the Vote For Change tour, supporting a wounded veteran (Tomas Young), supporting Nader because the 2-party system felt broken.  Nowadays, 20 years down the road, I really don't want to hear it.  I thought the "Ridin' With Biden" t-shirt during the last campaign season was the lamest shit this band has ever done. 

    I've leaned left my entire life, but I have no idea where all this Kamala excitement came from other than she's not Trump.  I've really been soured by the crooked DNC over the past decade... railroading Bernie twice, forcing their handpicked candidates through, even if they happen to have dementia.  This band does a ton of great things, but I don't blame people that don't want to hear pro-Democratic party shit.

    The two people next to you might not have been able to stand. I went to my first concert of the year last week after a few surgeries and couldn’t stand. You don’t know what ppl are going through. I’ll be sitting on Monday in Philly, enjoying myself. Not sure why anyone would care if I sat down

    exactly...or if you stood like a statue, or if you didn't dance, etc.

    People complain about everything.

    I was at a Jason Isbell show a month ago and the lady behind us asked my wife and I to sit down so that they could see. I gestured to the people in front of us that were standing like "listen moron, if I sit down you still won't be able to see" and she asked if we would tell them to sit down. Unfucking real. She then threw a fit until they left at the encore and kept putting her feet up on the back of my wife's seat like "you aren't using it so I will" type of cuntiness.

    My section was filled with a bunch of up and coming Quentin Tarantinos. I mean there’s taking a quick video, and then there was my section with the zooms the lighting the filters. Holy shit. Concerts will never be the same honestly. I thought Covid would’ve made crowds more appreciative of live music and in the moment. Boy was I wrong. Maybe I’m just getting old but a lot of human behavior bothers me. I saw I a guy filming WITH HIS FLASHLIGHT ON. Rude

    I take maybe like 20 or 30 pictures but do it really quickly and since I'm tall I can get the pic without lifting the phone over my head. I gave up on taking videos years ago, maybe after my initial fascination with getting a digital camera in the mid 2000s

    Was he on Stone’s side in first tier section not far from Lil Steven? If so, who were the dudes with him? Also hockey players? They looked so familiar.

    Former registered republican here (pre Trump years). Ed didn’t mention anything “pro Democratic Party”…he briefly mentioned women’s rights and gun violence as issues people should care more about and address and that’s what apparently was too much of a bother to the drunk white dudes who don’t have a care in the world outside of themselves. If you think showing compassion, support, and kindness to women whose rights are being trampled upon by our corrupt courts, and standing up for our children being shot at disproportionately with guns means you’re saying “pro Democratic Party shit”, you need to take a look in the mirror and reflect on what your values are and think of the women and children in your life and the future you would like to see for them. 

    And yeah, the Kamala excitement (which absolutely had nothing to do with the show so I’m not sure why you’re so focused on that not going and not knowing a thing about what was even said) IS because she isn’t Trump. It is that simple - she isn’t the perfect candidate by any stretch but some people are decent human beings and don’t want to see a convicted felon elected and empowered to further try to undermine our government with conspiracy theories about voter fraud or who knows what and “lead” us with xenophobic, misogynist, racist, and outright criminal behavior.

    Exactly! This is the type of PJ show that they did pre covid, awesome to see other than the slow encore, too slow. Let's carry this over to Fenway instead of NYC always getting the "special" shows

    My section was filled with a bunch of up and coming Quentin Tarantinos. I mean there’s taking a quick video, and then there was my section with the zooms the lighting the filters. Holy shit. Concerts will never be the same honestly. I thought Covid would’ve made crowds more appreciative of live music and in the moment. Boy was I wrong. Maybe I’m just getting old but a lot of human behavior bothers me. I saw I a guy filming WITH HIS FLASHLIGHT ON. Rude 
    Sounds like u need to maybe just stay home. You don’t like anything. Just watch your old pj dvds or YouTube. Lots of great vids on there. 
    Sounds like you’re an annoying human who can’t keep their mouth shut about other peoples opinions.

    How political did it get?  When I was young, naive and idealistic, I enjoyed having the band speak up.  Speaking out against G.W. Bush, war, doing the Vote For Change tour, supporting a wounded veteran (Tomas Young), supporting Nader because the 2-party system felt broken.  Nowadays, 20 years down the road, I really don't want to hear it.  I thought the "Ridin' With Biden" t-shirt during the last campaign season was the lamest shit this band has ever done. 

    I've leaned left my entire life, but I have no idea where all this Kamala excitement came from other than she's not Trump.  I've really been soured by the crooked DNC over the past decade... railroading Bernie twice, forcing their handpicked candidates through, even if they happen to have dementia.  This band does a ton of great things, but I don't blame people that don't want to hear pro-Democratic party shit.
    Perfect, ty!

     My 24yo daughter was with me tonight for her 4th show. We had a wishlist of songs for the night that included garden, I am mine, hail hail, not for you and WFS.  Incredible to get all of those!!  On the drive to the show I mentioned to her that it would be fun to hear sonic reducer!  Never dreamed it would actually happen. When Ed said they switch it up and he thinks we would like it I immediately screamed LEASH when I heard the first cymbal crash! I have a different take on the encore. I loved it! I’m not a huge fan of JB but Eddie sang it especially beautifully tonight.  Song of Good Hope is such a beautiful song. My daughter has gone through some tough stuff (as many of us have as we grow into young adults). I’ve sent her that song and copy/pasted those lyrics more than once.  It’s unbelievable to hear it played live by Eddie at the show that we attended together and he sang it with such raw emotion it’s clear that what he said was true (that it had helped him through tough times too).  As a mother who has watched her child struggle at times, I shed a real tear during that one.  Yes the crowd was more subdued during the beginning of the encore. But they are slower songs, what can you expect?  The songs were played with pure emotion and executed beautifully by Eddie who is seriously in TOP form.  He sounded incredible tonight. If you felt a lack of energy at that time, it sounds like a you problem to be honest. Maybe try to connect with the song and what the artist is trying to share.  The people around me really seemed to enjoy the break and appreciated that part of the show.  I certainly did!  

    This will go down as one of my favorite shows that I’ve seen.

    Not the place for this, but nice attempt to Trojan horse here. "Gee, I've always been a dem, but nowadays".. please go back to the cult. You aint foolin' anyone here.  
    90 shows and counting...some of my favs: Randall's Island night 2, Milwaukee '95 night 2, Hawaii '06, St Johns '05, PJ20!

    Thought it was a great show, but agree that the encore generally didn’t work well. Leash was awesome though!

    One other minor complaint I have is about Watt. I get that the band enjoyed working with him, but I’m there to hear Mike shred, not him. Let him come on stage, but he doesn’t need to take such a lead role.
