*** MSG 1 Fanviews Here 5/20/10 ***

i came to new york because all i've heard is how amazing the crowds are








you folks weren't lying


:shock:
:clap:

Loved every minute of it

bring it tomorrow people!!

So despite my high 10c number I ended up in section 111 row B, and all the times you hear Ed talk about feeling the place shake I always thought was an exaggeration, but during the beginning of Evolution then Jeremy you can feel the floor move :shock:

Best. Show. Ever.

I dont care if you want to talk about the setlist, but, if you were in the building you will be changed.

My 22 show and i feel like i took ecstasy. Nothing will ever be as good as tonight, it will be hard for tomorrow to be better. The energy, the tightness, the crowd (OMG) and the music. The fans around me, everything was perfect. I never, and i mean never, thought i would witness a show this good. Other shows may have been great before (Philly, Mansfield, Boston, State College) but this was something that can never be repeated.

Thank you pearl jam, ten club, new york city, and god for allowing me to be a part of what i was tonight.

I can't believe how many fanviews look like this for each show. I was at Hartford and Boston and could say the same for both. I think we are blessed to get any of these shows. They are easliy at the top of their game right now. Good times, good times!

My 17th show . . . a special one certainly in my top 3 including Mansfield III 2003 . . .

Great 10C tix a few rows side stage from Stone. Thought the setlist was genius - a slow build to full throttle - sort of like one of ed's ocean waves - it built, crested then slammed home. Don't understand the comments about lack of rarities. Breakerfall? Mankind? Lukin w/a string quartet? Army Reserve? I Believe in Miracles? Then a massive attack at the end which yes focused on more familiar Ten/Yield era stuff but since when is this supposed to be disappointing?

Interesting side note: The Olsen twins showed up and sat directly in front of me and my brother in law (first PJ show - he appreciated it but it is too heavy for his tastes). They had a couple fatass bodyguards and sat most of the show, too cool for school. It was ironic to see them in their designer jeans that probably cost a grand and passing around lip gloss during the show while our guys are up there in boots and t-shirt and jeans singing about everyday sacrifice in songs like Army Reserve. Anyway, I'll write a separate post on this and throw up a picture too. Thank you PJ, MSG, NYC.

John McEnroe was in the VIP section Stoneside, by himself.

Crowd energy was really good. i thought the set list was ok. This was not the best show or the worst show. Somewhere in the middle.

Wow... seems like a great nite for all u there. Was at work tonite. Just got in. The only thing i thought about was how the garden was tonite throughout work . Seemed like an awesome nite. Wish i was there would of loved to hear, SOLAT, sometimes as an opener (havent got that since 96 for me), Love reign..., I got id and crazy mary is always a favorite of mine live.... Anyhow rest up for tomm. nite, i feel something special, but dont we always get that from these guys?...

That was amazing. I went with my friend and her tickets got us to the 13th row-closer than I've ever been in my life! I haven't seen them in 2 years so it was great to be back. They played Low Light like at my first MSG show- and so happy I got to hear You Are and Love Reign O'er Me. I was jumping up and down as much as I could - I think Eddie started getting hoarse near the end. I also heard Jeremy for the 1st time at this my 7th show-so happy. That song is one I remember from when it came out-it means a lot to me. Insignificance rocked. Also, I noticed the Olsen twins to my side and they were definitely sitting. Except at the end one of them was swinging her head around to Porch. While sitting. Can't wait for tomorrow!

Can anyone answer this-- I counted 34 songs on the set list, and "Lukin" was not one of them. They played 33 songs, including "Lukin." What two songs were on the set list but not played?

O.K., so I guess "Lukin" was on the set list, but after "Just Breathe," not before.
