    Amazing show -- Hunger Strike put it over the top for me. And i loved "Slow lukin"!

    Here are some photos (including a few crowd shots):

    Who had the "its Ok" sign?

    I got a decent shot (the orange sign contrasted nicely with the blue lighting):

    My sister and I snuck into section 47 and wanted to say thanks to those who harbored us from security. I moved from NY to Cali 2 years ago and was at LA 2. Good show, but please, nothing compares to the Garden. It was an honor to come home and be a part of this crowd. This is a must own boot. Breathe, slow Lukin and Hunger Strike are definitely life long memories. My favorite opener is Release, favorite cover is Needle and the Damage Done, favorite show... this one. Thank you to all the out of towners and native New Yorkers for showing no quit and for getting stronger as the show went on. Most of all, thanks to the band for enhancing our lives.

    As others have said, an amazing show tonight. Not only did they play great songs, but they were simply the best live versions of many I've heard - I don't even like Betterman any more, but I won't ever forget the sign-along tonight. The real me - are you kidding me - absolutely nailed it. Hungerstrike with Ben was awesome - he was so pumped to be up there with PJ. And many many more. This will be an instant boot purchase. Love you PJ. Goodnight and thank you.

    best. show. ever.

    ok, i probably say that after every show, because of how AMAZING and inventive and continuously surpising this band is, but seriously, i think this topped philly 3 for me, well it's no use comparing. Simply put it was a very special night. THe CROWD was amazing - what wonderful vibes all around.
    Eddie talked to the crowd a bit more than last night - one of those nights when if feels like the connection is just really THERE.
    nothingman, breath, the incredibly slow lukin!, BRY, first time i ever heard better man live - finally - what a crowd moment.
    will be riding this high for a while!
    :D

    So this was one of those shows. No doubt about it. Was there last night, and walked away feeling it was good but close enough to ordinary. But MSG II, damnit. Lets' journey through here

    * I think you get the sense something is up when the band casually tosses out "Breath" as the 6th song like it was Corduroy. Then into a great version of Nothingman and a chilling version of I'm Open. Thats a hell of a 6-7-8 on the playlist.

    * Push Me, Pull Me & Rats round out the first set mysteries. By the way, Not For You and Daughter are tagged... the first of FIVE tagged songs on the night. When's the last time that happened??

    * If I had to pick one highlight: Slow Lukin'. That was insane. And it barely gave us time to appreciate Black,Red,Yellow. [Funny aside. Someone in front of my had a BRY sign hoping for a rarity. But they didnt realize it was being played until it was half over LOL. Then they ripped the sign out of their pocket and were excited] Great song live and this thing was crazy at this point.

    * Sweet Lew... lets be honest here: its a horrible song lol. Fun rarity. The crowd was really juiced up for Given to Fly/Spin/ and especially an awwwwwesome version of RVM to end encore #1.

    * Black and Better Man... both tagged. The pause in Better Man was loud as HELL. Probably not as long as that one in Boston1 from 2008 but pretty damn good. The tag on Black was heart-wrenching.

    * Hunger Strike was cool. The moments were better than the set indicates IMO.

    * One of my favorite parts: Eddie is chattering after Alive and all of a sudden screams "Lets KICK OUT THE JAAAAAAAAAAMS" lol. That was better even than the song to me. Then YL to close it out and a fairly good Star-Spangled Banner tag on it as well.


    When you rank the best shows of all time... this one gets to be in the conversation.

    I'm wondering this myself. Maybe it's the hometown bias and that it just happened, but I think this was my favorite show I've been to even going to all 4 Phillies.


    OHHHHH. And I was very surprised at how good Ben sounded on Hunger Strike. Granted the crowd was very loud at that point where I couldn't really tell if he was hitting the high high notes, but from what I could tell he did a really great job with Chris's parts.

    UNBELIEVABLE show!!!

    First show I've ever been to at MSG, not just pearl jam and i couldnt believe how incredible it was. The sound quality was TOP FUCKING NOTCH. The crowd was also insane!!!! This was my 5th PJ show and it was by far the best.

    Highlights:
    every song! So much TBH

    but I will say that u normally don't care for Betterman, but it totally blew my mind tonight with that crowd. The intro was just the entire crowd singing, and the floor shook for the rest of it.

    Oh and Lukin was incredible. Whoever wasn't there needs to hear it. The slowed down version was just something where you had to be there. totally beats normal lukin honestly

    If you were there than you understand - what happened between us the crowd and them the band made something called
    Pearl Jam Live
    That show will go down in History as one of the best shows to ever have been played on the planet ever!
    If Pearl Jam never played again that was the Rock Concert to go out on.
