Lets see if these Boston area shows are what they are cracked up to be.
If the highlight of these shows involves bringing up Theo Epstein up onstage to jam along for even flow, then so be it. :rolleyes: They will have to do something else to top Ace Frehely and CJ Ramone in The Worlds Most Famous Arena & The "Lets Go Rangers"..... chants that filled the Garden .......



we'll see if these shows are any better then MSG / NYC shows , or Philly for that matter.

I guess that's what was my point was earlier in the thread. the 'Lets go rangers chant' at the Garden would have been such an awesome thing to have experienced if you were a rangers fan. totally awesome. Not so awesome if you weren't a fan though . That's what i meant by any show that you go to, doesn't matter where it is, you will find something that's awesome to you, whether it's a particular song you've always wanted to hear or just a special moment.

I was at the Newcastle show, and absolutely the set list was killer. But it wasn't just the set list that made it the greatest show i'll ever see.

thats a great point.
weather youre in the back or in the front it can still be a good or even great show.

well thats true to an extent but at the same time there are inherent competitive streaks for differenmt partsd of the country, for whatever ( perhaps stupid ) reasoning.

Also subtle little " digs" from ed such as " boston was louder " in nyc or down in philly saying Atlanta was more enegetic , liuttle stuff like that ed might use in an attem,pt to motivate or get the crowd into it a little bit higher.


Your point is well taken and I agree its a pearl jam show. Youre lucky enough to be witnessing it -live,....- no matter where you are- enjoy the ride , it doesnt last too long..

whatever man, I was in NYC for 3 days, I consider it the greatest city in the world!!!!! but every time i said i was from Boston, man did i get a look, wow, i could see the hate!!! why are you guys so concerned about us??? We have a tiny little city . . . you new yorkers are something else, is it because our sport franchises are superior? if not, what is it?

uhm , did you forget about 19-1 ?
the superbowl?
dont be so cavalier friend.

I would laugh my ass off if Hartford is better than all of them.

when hartford is your only show being attended,
thats more like wishful thinking.


besides, the beacon is the icing on the cake, everyone knows that !

I'm not biased in any way since I always see Pearl Jam in Toronto (which goes apeshit, btw) But i'd have to say that atmosphere wise, it would be tough to beat MSG, just because its MSG. Setlist wise, i'm gonna say that Mansfield will be better because they are the last 2 shows, spread out over 2 nights and for some reason, PJ fucking loves Boston. Soooo... bring it on PJ!

how was Columbia? if I had the chance, I'd go see them every tour at the most out of the way spot. A place with the least fan clubbers, where a 206xxx could get you pretty close. 2 nights at MSG was great, but I like the off the beaten path shows too.
