Sounds like this show blew Buffalo out of the water. Buffalo was average at best. This must have been a great show. Outside too I think.........

Actually, it didn't. I was at both and I thought Buffalo was better. This venue sucks and the crowd in Buffalo was way better. Hopefully that makes you feel better.

The lot was pie. Got there at 3:45 only to be told to come back in 10 minutes.
Stayed a few minutes after the show and was out on 66 in a flash. No trouble at all.
Another 172xxx row Q mikes side.
A Thanks to the two girls who picked up my bag when it slid off my seat.
I liked it, Down and Present Tense!
Crowd was ok. I'm a rocker at PJ shows, I just can't help it.
Also introduced myself to the Hoff...haha, he's just great.
The poster is super sweet. Love it.
Also thanks to the two guys in front of me with their cameras out the whole show. I mean I can see a few pictures and a quick vid, but the whole show? Enjoy your videos ass*oles.

No atmosphere in Nissan Pavillion, it's just too big. The band couldn't read the crowd because they could barely see or hear them.

Slight sound problems a few times, it sounded like the drum was doubling, that messed up Save You and a couple others. Could see Jeff talking to someone off stage about it during the Ledbetter wrap up.

An early start and finish because of the curfew, but 2:30 on the dot of play. Again, this venue is a disaster to get in and out of (unless you dropped $ 30 like me to get out of the vip lot), but PJ had to book it because MCI had to be saved for the Caps, should they have advanced.

An interesting set, but a few clunkers mixed in. Insignificance isn't a bad song, but they have too many others that are better. The same can be said for Sonic Reducer. Seemed to be oddly light on Backspacer tunes. How bout Gonna See My Friend and Force of Nature instead of the 2 mentioned.

Thrilled to see Down and Faithfull, left wanting a few more Backspacers and Leash at the end. Problem was, it was a bigger crowd in a bigger city that didn't know nearly half of the songs that were played.

I thought the sound was terrible as well. And yeah, it seems so big not very personal. Just overall, I don't like the venue

Jiffy Lube Live is an outdoor arena??? Thought INDY / NO were only outdoor shows this year.

Poop under a seat is OK if its outdoors right?

I haven't been this full of joy in a long time! I have a smile on my face, and a spring in my step, and I'm hugging my co-workers! What a great concert! Thank you Pearl Jam, and TenClub! Great job, yet again!

I thought it was a great show...good/interesting setlist. My area was really rocking but looked like some of the crowd was not as into it. It seemed Eddie was trying to get the crowd into it with some success, especially during the encores. I also had great seats, section 101, and had no problems getting in or out of the venue.

Sound where I was was great except during Save You, I didn't even recognize the song, everything else was great.

Aside from the on-again, off-again vibe of the crowd...another awesome show!

dreamtonic · May 2010

When I thought I'd seen it all ... Ed tagged U2's "Bad" at the end of Black... "isolation..desolation...condemnation..." We all know Black is great but that took it to a whole new level for me. Thank you Ed.

Fun show, little bit for everyone. But PLEASE PJ, no more Bristow. That place sucks. Merriweather is so much better. Or even the verizon center.

This!

Out of the 14 shows I'm doing this year, the one in my "home town" (if you want to consider Bristow as DC) was the most difficult to get to and get out of.

Think the curfew is why the band scratched Indifference. Check out the setlist snagged from the stage. It was scratched off. :(
Still an amazing show!

I love this band. This was my 14th show. There is always a tendency to overvalue what is most recent, but this was probably in my top five. Seats were row Q on Mike's side - similar to previous years in DC with my 172xxx # (thanks 10C) - and the crowd around me was great, although there were definitely some empty seats. One of the many reason why the band's shows are wonderful are the people you meet, which for tonight was a group from NY and a big guy wearing a Troegs shirt who was holding up an orange "Mike is God" shirt and claimed to have gotten on the stage for one of last year's Philly shows.

Best moment of the night for me was All Those Yesterdays. On the drive to the terrible venue, my friend and I were talking about what we most wanted to see. It was #1 on my list, so I was on cloud nine when they went into it. Also really liked Down, which was another first for me, and Brain of J, Faithful, Garden, Present Tense, and Blood. Anyone who says it was just a greatest hits show isn't bothering to read the setlist. I thought the opener - Small Town - was an interesting/odd choice, but it seemed to get the crowd (at least around me) into it from the get go. I normally am not the president of Better Man's fan club, but tonight's version was good. Ed's banter was nice, particularly about lobbyists (I work on the hill and really appreciated it) and Haiti. Another highlight was that it wasn't overly heavy on Backspacer, but included pretty much everything I really like off of it other than Force of Nature - Unthought Known, The End, and the other three they seem to play every night.

Out of all the DC shows I have been to: 03, 04, 06, and 08, I think this may have been my favorite. Also, Band of Horses was fan-freaking-tastic. Funeral is one of the best songs of the last decade. And props to the guy in the "SCOTCHNSODA" jersey and the guy in the VFC Patriot shirt who were a few rows ahead of me - you rocked out the whole night.

I was right behind you guys... the guy with the orange shirt was to our right for a good chunk of the show.. unfortunately he kept borderline groping my friend and left his piss with us when he left claiming that he was going to get on stage again. Other than that, crowd was good, very pumped and into the songs. We did notice a lot of NY'ers there... lots of Mets hats in that crowd. :roll:

I think we sat right in front of you. I was the dancer, sorry just can not help myself at a Pearl Jam show!
And thanks for picking up my bag!

Thanks CantKeepMeHere for posting my image. I suck at uploading. Ed does have nice handwriting.

Spot In The Sky · May 2010

I guess it gets to the point where you really want to see songs youve never seen before, which is 100% subjective I understand, but it doesnt change the hope that the every next-song will be a new one for you. The only new song I got was got some, still missing GSMF, Force of Nature and Amongst the Waves from Backspacer, luclkily im going to both MSG shows

coachchris · May 2010

Surprised there isn't more love for Sonic Reducer! I saw them play it live in Minneapolis 98 and it blew my friggin mind

and have been wishing to see it ever since. Ten shows in that's the only time I've seen it sadly :(

That was us with the purse... you're welcome... great meeting you!

(And yeah, the two guys with the cameras were SUPER annoying... they were blocking my view as well but I felt terrible for you!!!)
