    Funny, you people are complaining about last nights crowd not rocking out to the new stuff....the new stuff that was just released THE DAY BEFORE THE SHOW. Could it be, that a lot of fans didn't KNOW the new material yet and were soaking it in?

    Again, from my perspective (row 12 floor AA), the whole place seemed to be having the time of their lives and really rocking out/enjoying the show.

    Exactly! I've listened to the album maybe 8 times before the show, and I just wanted to watch and listen to what they were doing. I didn't realize I needed to jump up and down and scream during Just Breathe and The End...

    Well it was an interesting show, I thought it started out really well, Long Road was great, Gonna See My freinds will be an instant classic.

    I will say this though it was too hit friendly for my liking. honestly it felt like a festival show, It just seem to get a little of the same old some old towards the end and finishing on Alive was just kind of like, ok thats it see you tomorrow. For the first show back in Seattle since a couple years, i would say this was middle of the Road

    I really do think some of the songs need to put on the shelf for a bit, there great songs we all know which ones they are, but made dust off some old ones and make stars. I mean no supersonic...but we got room for elderly.

    Anyways it was great to see them. The merchadise price is a getting a bit out of control. The poster was colorful some neat little tidbits, but didn't feel the need to buy it :). By the way Sir Mix A Lot was there, got a picture of him flipping us off, classy!

    My husband and I had a BLAST. I thought they sounded fantastic and was totally happy with the set list. Off he goes just made my night. As someone else also mentioned. I have a pretty high number 400XXX and was in row 14 in a side section. I was totally thrilled with my 10C seats. I had prepared myself for much much worse. So, thanks for that 10C.

    As a side note, I had some wasted jackass sitting in front of me that friggin texted on his cell phone all night and even called someone. wtf? seriously. He could have stayed at home and done that. He came and went about 10 times from his seat. :lol: It was annoying, but I did enjoy when he fell through some of the seats and caused a ruckus. I believe he also lost a concact lens at some point. What a dick. I'm sorry if that guy is here, but man, you are probably one one of the most inconsiderate concert-goers I've ever had the priveledge of sitting near in all of my 30+ years of going to concerts. I know anyone can have a bad night due to consumption of preconcert intoxicants, but this guy was the worst.

    Incredible setlist. We knew we'd get a lot of Backspacer and rightgeously so. Starting the west coast tour off with Long Road was so great. Throwing Small Town in there in Seattle, just approapriate. And not ending with Yellow Ledbetter was so nice. I truly feel this was one of the most solid setlists in all the shows I've seen. The crowd was great overall. Though the mother and daughter in front of me sat for half of the show. It sucks I must be a responsible husband and father to be and only get to go to this one show, but for me, a really great show. Great to be in Seattle, great to meet new friends and see old friends I've met along way. Great to be growing older with a band we've known for almost 20 years. Have fun on the rest of the tour!

    PS, be careful of that merch stand!! It will suck your money away from you. I blew over $200 between PJ and Ames Bros, but I did get to meet the Ames Bros and shake the brother of PJ Royality's hand!!

    "All it took was four phone calls!" :lol: That was a neat moment though.

    Am I missing a joke or something? Because I only counted three phone calls, lol.

    im agreeing with everyone else, this was my first concert seeing pearl jam ever! but i still didnt feel the vibe during the new songs besides the fixer. But, i loved the concert just i was hoping more vs. or even some more ten songs since they have been known to play that and yellow ledbetter but its all good :D i still enjoyed the show very much and im jealous of the people who are going tonight too!

    Looks awesome. Cool new back drop. Glad I got to see the last couple of shows with the old one though. They still had the same introduction music, right? :D

    show was amazing, but then again i think they all are!

    loved hearing more of the new songs live. for me a song really comes to life once i hear it live. just breathe and unthought known were really amazing - ed's voice sounded especially powerful on those.

    i was also really happy to hear 'off he goes'...it's always been one of my faves and i don't hear it nearly enough!

    LOVED IT!!! I wish I had known the new songs more but there is time to learn before LA shows.

    The stringed quartet was amazing--surprised when Ed announced Matt's wife was one of them.

    Happy to hear The Real Me and Ed agreeing Kanye West is an ass--had the whole place cheering on that one.

    And thanks for the floor seats 10C --23rd row with a middle aisle seat :D Just wish I could have seen tonight too but yeah, no $$ can get in the way of that!

    PJ IS AWESOME!!!!!!!
    So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream

    Let's not be silly, I don't expect people to be "jumping up and down and screaming during just breathe or the end", or screaming or even singing during the other new ones... but I DID expect the crowd to be rockin a lot more during ATW and UK than they were, at least jumpin a bit... I was 31st row and basically the whole crowd in front of me was dead still during those two... didn't like that, but the band rocked during them... that's all I'm sayin.
    It makes much more sense... to live... in the present tense

    Great night, Great show.

    Quite a number of highlights but I was hoping for Inside Job & The Real Me and they just nailed both of them. One of the coolest moments of the night, that I think might have gone unnoticed to most people in the building, was that during 'Off He Goes' Ed sang the lyric 'at a quarter to ten' at exactly 9:45!!! I pointed this out to the guy next to me and we just shook our heads in awe - only Pearl Jam.

    I think that was me. You were the couple from Montana right? That was great when you pointed that out. I was happy with my seats and section 128 was great. Fun stuff.

    great show. the band was a tad on the sloppy side ( i chalk that up to them being off for a while ). i was really happy that they didn't jam much ( if any ) on even flow, daughter or rvm. they seemed a lot more focused musically in that regard. this will be my last tour of multiple shows though ( only going to two ) as they play too many songs live that i've heard already and don't do a whole lot for me personally at this point. don't get me wrong. i love the songs and i enjoy hearing them live, but there are only so many times i can hear rvm, even flow, daughter etc. and have it remain interesting.

    the new album? fuck me the new songs have some balls live. amongst the waves? outstanding. i'll take stone in my band any day of the week. the new stuff made it worth while.

    the crowd? ehhhh. good but not great. columbia 08 and san diego 06 were far and away the best crowds i've ever been in and this one was alright.

    7/10



    I was at that Columbia 08 show I think it was the fact that Pearl Jam had not played the south since 2003 and so many fans from all over the south made it to the show. I drove like 8 hours for the show and it was the first time I had seen them since 2003. But yeah that was one of the best Pearl Jam shows of all time, the best set list by far of the 2008 shows.
