I'm loving it. great, great show! Everyone who was there has to admit that this was one of the top 3 or 4 Pearl Jam shows they ever saw. The band (and the crowd) were on fire.

    Sitting here in my room... Just at Corduroy as we speak... smiling to myself remembering this unforgettable night. I sort of wish they had left a bit more crowd noise than they did, but great boot! I don't know what the other boots sounded like, but this is close to perfect for me.

    Yes sir. Boot to be downloaded shortly.

    I was at both shows, and as it was mentioned many times before, and by you just now, THE BAND WAS ON FIRE.

    All the hype of the first show at MSG really really really shows, and, as you said, the crowd was into it as well.

    Show #2 was great, but I had a blast night 1.

    Yes it was. I had great seats that night. Barely side stage, 1st row after the "VIP" rows. My friend and I thought we would never have better seats. Then MSG2, hit lotto. 2nd row dead center. Unreal.

    But yeah MSG1 was crazy. Might have been better than night 2 but I am biased.

    I dont know how to even rank the shows I have seen anymore. How do you decide which is the best when they are all great? MSG2 98, Mansfield3 03, State College03, Irving Plaza, Borgata2, MSG1 03, MSG1 + 2 08, Philly05, the VIC? I would have to say it is a tie.

    Listening to it right now. Its good, but does not come close to capturing the energy that was in the building that night. I got the MP3. Wondering if the FLAC sounds much better?

    If this boot captures even half the energy of the show, than it will be phenomenal.

    Both MSG shows were phenomenal! Can't wait to download the boots. Heard songs I hadn't heard live since '95 (namely Rats and Leash). The MSG shows are up there with TO2, '06, TO '05 and Lolla (for me), so definitely in the top 3-4 ;) I'm sorry to say the NA shows I have seen eclipse the shows I saw in Australia... however the 1st PJ show is always sweet and I remember Sydney and Canberra '95 fondly ;)
