Great show but the WORST audience I have seen. I was in the 8th row and everyone around me just stood there. No yelling, jumping or any indication that they were having a good time. ...except for that crazy mofo with long hair in the 7th row between Ed and Stone who was jumping all night, wearing the hoff tshirt.

I really enjoyed the show. Thanks so much to Tenclub for the awesome seats! My wife and I joined back in 94 or 95 and consider that 20 bucks per year the best money we've ever spent.

I have to admit I did take a few pictures during the show. I can definitely see how that could be annoying to those around you. The guy behind me told me to take a break from doing so and then I realized that in trying to preserve the moment I was missing the moment. It probably would be better to disallow all cameras on site to keep people from going crazy.

One thing that really drives me nuts are the fools using their flash to light up the heads of those in front of them. Your flash won't do crap to illuminate the band, especially if you are further back.

On the other side, I want to get press passes for the next tour. I'd love to photograph PJ with a real camera.

love and peace

barbara can "say that crap" because she can

she has a right to her opinion. But if pj are that awful to barbara and her husband, why did she take the time to read the article and comment? I would not let one bad concert experience stop me from seeing other live shows.

If more people think that pj are awful and offensive, then they will have to play at smaller venues and we will get a better, closer seat!

Great Show, arrived at Jiffy lube live around 6:30pm, plenty time to pick up tickets and buy a t-shirt. Dead center tickets, row P, which I thought was great seats for a 289XXX membership, thanks 10club. Setlist was great, heard some amazing songs never heard live before. Seen better crowds! Got out of the parking lot with in about 20-30 mins, which didn't bother me, but was late when I got back to DC.

Thanks for a great show PJ and thanks for coming to Washington!

the reviewer from the post said the crowd was 25,000 plus!!!! that's the biggest crowd this tour with indy in a close second. how many people does this place hold? i'm really shocked a huge crowd like that wasn't loud.

somebodyelsessky2020 · May 2010

Barbara and her husband must have clearly seen some other band. It could not have been Pearl Jam.

Seems odd someone not even at the show or someone who hates them so much would even read the article let alone reply with such nonsense!

She must be a Dave Matthews plant, something is fishy about her comment and right on top too. Unless this guy that wrote the article maybe has some suicidal lobbyist buddies?

I enjoyed the show. Present Tense, Brain of J, Faithful and Sonic Reducer were great to hear. And I actually liked the venue. My section of the crowd (on the floor, all the way back) was rocking pretty good. Not the best sound in the world...but I don't think it hurt the show.

But Eddie really needs to cut down on his...ahem...."political speeches" because he ALWAYS sounds like an idiot out there. As Janeane Garofolo said in "Team America": As actors, it is our responsibility to read the newspapers, and then say what we read on television like it's our own opinion." Replace "actor" with "singer" and "television" with "stage" and you have Eddie Vedder.

I think that he would rather not have the people that he was referring to at his shows. Why would anyone as passionate as Ed is want someone there that believes in nothing that he believes in ,when he is putting his heart out there on the stage? I think that he feels his causes so deeply that he would rather not take money from those he despises. Tell me I am wrong, but I think that this is why he has such a following..because we can feel it..that he is true to what he sings and says.

Wow...First of all, I didn't realize that we were all on a first name basis with "Ed!?!" Next time you talk to him on the phone, can you tell him just to play Release already. People always ask for it, but i guess because "Ed" is in it for the fans, he always plays what we request. News flash sister, he's in it for the money. Just like everyone else in America.

You can put him up on a pedestal and Idolize him if you want, but eventually you have to face reality. As much as he bashes the capitalistic form of government, he benefits from it more so than the vast majority of Americans. That's why ticket prices are what they are, and why merchandise costs what it costs. Simple supply and demand ethics of capitalism.

Besides, if prices continue to go up, pretty soon the only people that will be able to afford to attend a PJ/"Ed" concert will be those people that he "despises" so much.

I think Jiffy Lube holds 25,000. I did not realize it sold out.

I regret getting into this on the "fanviews" page. I would like to continue this conversation with you though..and will on the "Walked out of the DC show" thread.

sounds good. sorry to everyone else on the thread. Again, I thoroughly enjoyed the show. Probably one of the best of the few(10) that I've been to.

And when we were leaving I heard some girl complaining that Eddie was talking too much. Said he should "shut up and sing". He barely said a word! I called her out and she started screaming at me. WTF? Next time I'll go out of my way to see them in a different city.

I was in row Q mikes side. You should have come with me, danced all night.

A dump truck could dump a load of wet mushy cow shit on you before a pearl jam show and they could play an entire set of evenflow over and over and over..... and you'd still be witnessing the fucking greatest band on the planet.... and it will still be the best show you will see all year... period.

Lots of whiny prima donna's around here lately it seems.

Take what you get and shut the fuck up

Thank you

I couldnt agree more!!

kstowell · May 2010

Great night for a classic concert!
What more could you ask? We sat with a group of long time die -hard fans and we never stopped dancing and singing. You get out of any experience what you put into it. It was an excellent night with some new friends. The Hendrix tribute was unlike anything I have ever heard at any concert before! Rock on!

Sprunkn7 · May 2010

Just got home a little while ago and noticed these big black and blue marks on the back of my ankles and calves. Just figured out they were from dancing last night. My legs must have been banging up on the back of the stupid chair! Ha, the problems of being in the orchestra seats!
