    LMAO.

    A betterman sing a long will separate this from the other shows. It's like this everywhere.

    Granted it sounded THAT loud because of the way the place is set up. It's an AMPHITHEATER.

    that was an unforgettable moment. i was glad eddie didn't let the audience do it a second night, it makes the one time more special :)

    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 was not there, and I guess it's me being ignorant. It was incredibly loud, I can almost feel how loud it was. Im just sick of everyone saying this was better, no this is what puts it over the top.. U HAD FUN, U EXPERIENCED GREAT THINGS.

    agreed

    it's not like that anywhere. the crowd took over, the video does it no justice, maybe the boot will

    50 seconds of insane cheering doesn't make a show legendary.

    Now I wished they played Betterman MSG 1, that place was buzzing all night

    Original poster: dont know if u were at Hartford, you sound like someone who assumed it would be an in between show, and it turned out to be magical

    EDIT: I need to read further, u were there. Still u think it was better than Hartford? It seems a tough one to top

    Never seen or heard anything like this during a live show, Pearl Jam or any other band...To say this wasnt one of the most memorable moments in Pearl Jam touring history is simply ignorant. The reaction of the band was just incredible, they were shocked and it was great to see this from the crowd. The band does so much for its fan base and it was just memorable to see the appreciation/bond/relationship whatever youd like to call it shine between the band and the fans.

    It was my favorite moment of that show for sure, I will admit that but I don't think it makes the show "epic"...

    I have never been one of those regional die-hards, but here in Boston area we are truly blessed 2003, vote 4 change, 06, this year. June 11, 2003 was by far and away the best show of my life, the acoustic set was magic. Like I said I am not that big of a sports fan, and not a regional crazy person, and I don't mean any harm but new yorkers seem kind of bitter toward the great boston shows? Is this just me?

    Everyone says the shows they were personally at were the best.

    In all honesty, all shows are great, but some have a few more special songs or moments or higher energy from the band or fans.

    I was at both Camden, both MSG and Hartford. In my opinion, the best was MSG 1 cause the high energy from the band and fans.

    Hartford and Both MSG's were better than Both Mansfields...playing till 11pm curfew is weak. Hartford was a legendary show..I was at all of these. Hartford and Mansfield werent even close in sets...stop being insane.

    I don't want to start anything, just my opinion, was at MSG's, Hartford, Mansfield, MSG crowd was best, electric, because it's inside maybe ? whatever, that was my conclusion, it rocked harder than anywhere I have ever been.

    Hartford was the most kick ass show for me personally, low expectation, happy to get in on time, lol

    all shows kicked ass as usual

    Yeah this certainly was nothing like i've ever heard in terms of crowd reaction. being up close i noticed ed smiling and laughing, looking back at matt who was equally as shocked at the reaction to betterman. prolly the defining moment of the show for me.

    yeah I agree...crowd at MSG2 was best I saw this tour...maybe ever...although Boston Night 1 in 2006 was about the same as that show, but Hartford set was the best on this tour and top 3 all time for me of the 14 shows I've seen.

    I always make sure I catch the boston shows because they are always really amazing...

    The cheering by the crowd after the 1st betterman verse seemed like it was a chain reaction it wasn't all at once, meaning people started screaming and cheering and it just built up, which was really cool but I know that a lot of people around me were confused by what was going on and then started screaming because everyone else was screaming, I know myself because I was looking around at everyone while it was happening.

    The video def does not do it justice and theres no way the boot will either. You either experienced it or you didn't and thats the way it is. It's something I will never forget, and at the same time can never describe, such a cool moment.
