I'm guessing you weren't there. This video is good but doesn't quite capture what it was like. You can't see the band's faces or hear just how loud it was.

Ive seen betterman several times and it is absolutely not like that everywhere

I AGREE LINDS!

Maybe now we should argue which versions of each song were "epic".

most of my trip was a drug induced blur but I do vividly remember a especially spectacular performance of Rearviewmirror in Washington

Ok IMO there is no clear cut winner in the 5 shows I went to (NYC-Mansfield). They all were great in there own way and I will buy the boots for every show. With that said, The version of Betterman was the greatest moment I have ever experience at a concert. I've been to over 500 shows and nothing rivals this moment. I am not a big fan of betterman and there are 50 other pearl jam songs I would rather hear. This moment was special. You could feel it. It wasn't set up and you could tell by all the faces in the crowd and by the one on stage. Ed is very appreciative of the fans and he does a great job showing it but this was a moment on a level I have never seen.

I brought my buddy to this show and this was his first Pearl Jam show. He is a huge music fan but he told me that seeing Pearl Jam in Boston was nearly impossible because he could never get a ticket. When he left the venue he told me that he had very high expectations and his experience was above and beyond what he expected. He said that there was no doubt that Pearl Jam was one of the greatest bands ever and he won't miss a show if they ever come back. There is nothing more satisfying than taking a fan for his first show and him walking out with a huge smile on his face. We went to go see his favorite band Sunday night (Black Crowes) in NH and the show was great. Walking out he said that that was one of the best crowes' shows that he has seen and that the Pearl Jam show the night before was still better.

Betterman live being interrupted by fans drawing attention to themselves like they always do at that point during the song, but it just happened to be louder...nothing special, but glad you guys think it was a legendary moment

"drawing attention to themselves" :rolleyes:

The audience was celebrating an amazing time witnessing the greatest band ever (in many of our eyes) and showing our appreciation. And the band very obviously was very touched by it.

Not sure why you have to even say that.

The problem with this is that it was only special for the people who were there. I was there. It was awesome. I think I may have broken my hand banging on the chair in front of me. And Betterman is far from my favorite song. I like it, but that's about it. The way it went down was unbelievable, a fact that becomes more evident as you read the posts of denial. Who cares, it was a great moment that I don't need to have validated in order to know it.

I went to Hartford and both Mansfields and they were all exquisite in their own ways, I am still reeling!!


Satan's fucking Bed, man. Unreal.

Was it still satisfying knowing that you ripped off and lied to another in order to put them in that seat? If I wasn't getting the ticket, there was no point in going through that charade and you shouldn't have accepted my money. I'm a dope for not recognizing what was going on at the moment of the exchange, but I didn't expect it since every other 10club member I've bought a ticket off of on the past was always honorable. That's something that can't be said of you.

legendary? I was at Mansfield and it was pretty cool to hear the cheers spreading throughout the place, but that by no means makes it such a "legendary" show. It was a good show, thats all. Both MSGs and hartford had much better energy and better sets. The garden was absolutly rediculous both nights. Mansfield 1 was actually my least favorite show I saw this tour
