    I was at night two -- what a beautiful day out there waiting for the tickets and tailgating, and I'll never forget seeing that "It's OK" tag.

    of course i get to see "Daughter" followed by "Its OK' time and time again on touring band and that is great but in person at the beach, would top off a great summer of concerts. Lets see they havent played on long island since 03 ? i believe so its perfect :)

    I was there too...awesome day. I remember betting someone that I could throw a football farther than he could in exchange for beer. I won the bet :-) This version was on Touring Band, right?

    I took my best friend to that show, his first Pearl Jam show, a show he wasn't really in to, and guess which of us gets his face shown prominently on the DVD during that song?

    beautiful location, but thats where it ends
    and if the wind blows just a little bit, the sound is awful
    damn shame about uniondale, I think we were about to get an epic show until "it" happened

    when you say "people who run that place", who do you mean? ...it's the same production staff who handle Nassau and MSG.

    there is no way , nassau and msg are great places to see shows . i believe the sponsor of jones beach whatever it is now, nikkon, hilfiger whatever have to do with what they bring in there

    Yes way. I worked backstage in NY area for years. I worked about 30 shows at Jones Beach, and about another 250 shows at MSG, Nassau, CAA, and Hammerstein mostly. I could explain further, but suffice it to say a sponsor of the venue has practically nothing to do with the shows.
