    What an incredible show!! What a truly incredible band!! We were so fortunate - we won the lottery and had 2 of the best seats in the house...first row, directly in front of Eddie!

    My head is still whirling from the entire evening...the set list was amazing - watching them perfrom Red Mosquito, Crown of Thorns, In My Tree, Love, Reign O’er Me....just awesome! And, Smile...not only is this song one of my favorites, but at the end Eddie pointed down directly to me and tossed me his harmonica....wish I could say I caught it, but lost sight of it with the lights...fortunately, the security guy came over and picked it up and handed to me. Unbelievable!

    Most sincere thanks and appreciation to the Ten Club for making this night happen for us...what a phenomenal experience - it was truly a dream come true!

    Red Mosquito Rocked like crazy...

    and In My Tree No Code style was epic..

    How about the blinding lights throughout "Love Reign"???

    Best show ever. (For me.)

    My second show ever...going to MSG 2 on Friday.
    Went with two great friends and met a lot of you at The Harp.

    For my second show it was life altering! I hope, I REALLY hope there is more shows like Monday's show.
    I STILL, being its Wednesday and the show was Monday, have a bit of a scratchy voice...It was soooo worth it!

    and for every one who signed my shirt, Thanks...there will be a clean one to sign at MSG if you are there...

    Look for me at Irish Times!

    see you there!!

    Question: How much more pronounced would the rarity at Boston be if the Philly novelty "Whip It" were excluded from the calculation? Answer due Thursday by 5:00 PM

    or lets calculate the quality of the rarest songs -

    ask any pearl jam fan... which would you rather hear
    Whip It, Bugs, Sweet Lew
    or
    Undone, Push Me Pull Me, Bee Girl

    plus... one is a Devo song? does that even count? I'm pretty sure PEARL JAM fans crave PEARL JAM rarities... yeah I'd love for them to cover a million NON PJ songs... like Party All the Time by Eddie Murphy ;)

    so I think the rarity of Whip It does not equal the rarity of Undone

    and actually... i don't care... i'm just bored

    i had a great time at the show... and it had nothing to do with the rarities... if i don't know a song then i just stand there and sway... if i know a song i go nuts... sorry i'm not a full fledged member of the Herd

    Sorry Kat. The show was outstanding. My favorite of all 17 that I've attended. Force of Nature, Smile, Crown of Thorns, Soldier of Love....I could go on forever!

    Wish you could have made it out here to see the spectacle Kat!

    All I have to say is WOW

    Unbelievable energy in the Garden, the band as always delivered.

    Not for you was a highlight for me, along with Hail, Hail and In my Tree

    Great show, best of the 4 I have been to, compared against Chicago last year, Boston blows the United Center out of the water.

    How long til the boot is available?

    Just have to say cheers again to those in Loge 22, row 7. The people in that section were fantastic. Everyone was rocking out and going nuts. Actually, the whole building was going nuts. Just a great night that I wish I could relive over and over.

    What an incredible show!!! Like many others, I went to Hartford and didn't know how they were going to top that performance. Man did they put me in my place. However, I won't delve too deeply into the setlist, as it's been covered by more educated fans than I.

    From a personal perspective this show will always be special to me becasue I took my 13 year old brother. It was his first concert ever and the look on his face was friggin priceless when the lights dropped and Release started. (Although, to be fair, the expression on my face was most likely similarly as euphoric). He called Reign on like the second note. I was very impressed and it was at that moment I knew was deserved such an awesome setlist. I don't think he fully understands the magnitide of hearing Push Me, Pull Me or Crown of Thorns (or any of the other rarities), but he will over time (which, in a way, makes it a gift that keeps on giving).

    The entire set was awesome. In My Tree, Reign, RVM, and Crown of Thorns were personal highlights. I almost lost my shit when EV threw a shoutout to my "small town" (Norwood). the crowd was great, very energetic and fully aware of how special the set was. Although I expect nothing less from Boston fans (sports or music).

    All-in-all this show was friggin epic and singlehandedly got me to join 10c. Hopefully I'll be in some sick seats with all of you next time around!
