    Hey Gang,

    I'm hoping someone can help me out today. Are you heading to the ACC early? Are you buying merch? Would you be willing to pick up a poster for me? I'd give ya $10 for your troubles.

    I am stuck at work until 5:30/6:00pm and don't want to get shut out of a poster. If someone was willing to pick one (and a tube) up for me this afternoon it would be much appreciated, and like I said would pay you $10 for your efforts. I'll pay you cash when we meet up at the show. PM if you think you can help out..

    Thanks!!
    --Colin

    you won't get shut out of a poster ... not to worry ...

    I was WONDERING when I'd see a setlist that made me envious that I could only catch the PJ20 weekend shows this year! Awesome set! Congrats to everybody who made it!

    Alright, let me try and sum this up.

    I got TM tickets, so that we can get a big group together. We were lucky to get 12 tickets together, 2 rows of 6, up in section 324. Honestly, the crowd up there sucked, A LOT of people were sitting down. Even during small town and alive! Either way, that didn't stop us from rocking.

    WHAT A SHOW! That went from a good show to a GREAT show real quick. We are seriously fortunate to have gotten that show. I'm still in awe! UNCLE NEIL!!

    Incredible.

    P.S. Does anyone have a picture of my "ALONE" sign I had up? Upper bowl, corner, stone's side, draped over. Security came and took it down after a few songs, however :(

    This might sound weird but i know a lot of people who always sit during concerts cause thats how they want to experience the music. I personally don't get it but all well.

    It was an epic show!! The crowd was great, setlist phenomenal and an appearance by Neil. What more can you say. It will be impossible to top this show on the tour.

    Why did Eddie say it's been 5 years since they've been here?!? He must have forgot about '09, and the double header in '06 :lol::lol:

    I think he was talking about the ACC. It has been 5 years since 2006 shows.

    No words. Still shocked about last night and I don't know what to expect tonight...

    my highlights:

    -Nothingman/Betterman/Leatherman
    -Not For You/Modern Girl
    -Nothing As It Seems
    -Daughter/It's OK
    -one of the best versions of Porch ever played
    -one of the best versions of RVM ever played
    -of course Chloe Dancer/Crown Of Thorns

    ...and Uncle Neil and an endless RITFW.

    thank you Pearl Jam and love to all the people I met once again last night and will meet again tonight!

    Almost cried when they opened with Long Road. Awesome show, awesome setlist!!! And Uncle Neil, oh my! Such a great pleasure seeing Mudhoney as well.
    I was in Row 25...I wish I was bit taller though, so I understand all those short people :D . Other than that...the people around my area were pretty damn awesome...such a great feeling jumping and dancing and singing along at the top of my lungs with awesome people watching the greatest band in the whole wide world! This is my 4th show and the best 10c seats yet...could get used to seeing PJ every night lol!

    Barely slept last night, pretty tired, not so great seats tonight... but so excited for Night 2! I'll probably be one of the few people up there tonight who will sing every lyric and do every signs for every songs. 8-) Can't wait..and thank you Pearl Jam!!!

    You're right, that DOES sound weird. Either way, I still had a great time. It's just off-putting when I see a woman who looked about 8.5 months pregnant in my row standing rocking out (albeit not the entire show, but she tried; I was impressed) and other people sitting down playing with their cell phones.

    Nevertheless, I'll be there with 10C tickets tonight. I can't wait!

    This was the show that Toronto has been waiting for all the years. We finally got one of the true rare gems and not only did we get Crown of Thorns but we got Chloe Dancer too!

    This was by far the best Toronto show of the 8 I have been to. It blew me away.

    Highlights for me were: Chloe Dancer/Crown (of course), NAIS, Grievance, Leatherman, and awesome version of Betterman/SIFL and the It's OK tag in Daughter.

    Bring on Night 2!!!

    Does anybody know what time the outside merch booth opened? I probably won't be able to get there until closer to 7:00 (unless my friend can duck out early from work), but I have another friend who may be able to pop by earlier to get a poster.

    How late were people able to pick up posters/toronto tees inside the ACC?

    Thanks!

    Again, fantastic show last night!!

    Woody Harrelson was rocking on Mike's side :D
    I would not say he was rocking. He was sitting down until the middle of the first encore and disappeared before the second encore.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    That was the most awesome thing i've ever seen. That climax with neil was the biggest and best few minutes of pandamonium ever at a TO pj show and maybe then some. Holy shit. Mind was blown and still is in shambles. What a killer show and just amazing to be a part of that chaos finale. unbelievable.
