**** Toronto 2 Fanviews Here 9/12/11 ****

WHHHHHOOOOOAAAAA! What a wonderful show! I loved Mudhoney tonight, Mark Arm is a hell of a singer! I will definitely explore them more when I'm home again.

Tonight was my last PJ show here and I'm so unbelievably glad that I finally got to hear I got shit/ Cinnamon Girl! I was screaming my heart out when I knew they would play it The Germans who won the lottery tonight and were in row 1 had a flag and at the preparty wrote I got shit on it and it seems as if the band read the flag Thanks again, guys!

I had a blast tonight! We were in section 118, closer to the stage and in the middle of a singing, dancing and screaming fan cloud! I loved the whole show! The lighting during Wishlist was beautiful, Last Kiss played for the ones behind the stage was awesome, lot of songs that I hadn't heard life before (well at least only on bootlegs). I even loved that they fucked up three times

Thank you Pearl Jam - my last four gigs with you were an absolutely amazing experience that I will never ever forget. I feel blessed to have been able to attend these four fantastic shows. Speechless ...

Edge was there tonight in section 118 near the bottom of the section. The pro wrestler, not the U2 guitarist.

I saw him in the hallway. I tapped some guy on the shoulder and asked who that was, goes to show you how much I pay attention to pro wrestling now. Anyways, great show.

Security were dicks on the floor definitely. Two guys had a rats banner they weren't even showing. It got played so they tried to unfurl it to show Ed, moving slightly towards the isle (they were end seats.) Security came up and told them to get out of the aisle (they complied), then stopped them from holding up their banner. They weren't even holding it high or blocking anyone's view. Power trips.

Yeah, on night 1 my seat was at the aisle and during the Mudhoney set I started dancing a little in the aisle. After a while the security dame came and told me in a very unfriendly way to go back to my seat :x I understand that the aisle has to be clear for security reasons, but it was not crowded and I didn't block or dirsturb anyone. She could have said it differently.

I had an aisle seat today and the guy near me was very nice... I got pushed out a bit and he kept looking at my feet (they were just outside of the chair) and never said a word.

He did let some "hockey stars" get right in front of me which was annoying, but not a big deal. Overall though very nice... I'm sorry so many had such bad experiences with security there.

Awesome show tonight. For me, it is hard to compare the two. I was in a much more rockin section of hard core fans tonight (and closer to the fan club seats) so the vibe felt better for night two for the main set. The encores felt better night one.

All my photos are here (and night one is here)

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... Oceans................ :twisted:

Go was an awesome way to start it -- I can't argue with that. Oceans though...ouch. At least it wasnt Dirty Frank!

Fantastic show! Another great night.

For the first time since I became a member of 10C in 2000, I did not have floor seats, and I couldn't have been happier. As grateful as I am for the row 17-24 seats I normally get, I have a very difficult time seeing. Tonight, I was in section 109 and I didn't miss a thing. I felt like I won the lottery. My friend and I were jumping up and down when we saw we were in 109.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Highlights - I finally got LIGHT YEARS!!! And Sad!! Plus, after waiting (very patiently) for 10 years to hear Present Tense, I got it last year and was ecstatic to hear again tonight. What a fan-fuckin'-tastic song!! LOVE IT!! Opening with Go was a great way to get the night started.

I don't think I will ever tire of hearing DTE, Animal, Porch, Why Go, Hail Hail... and Present fuckin' Tense!!!

It was a really cute moment when they acknowledged Mike McCready's dad in the crowd. So sweet.

I can't wait for Thursday in Hamilton. Here's hoping they open that No Code vault just a little bit further (and perhaps throw in a little Hard to Imagine ).

Oh, man... maybe I take that back. Forget Go - we could have had Oceans!

It's one of my favourite songs from when I was a kid and the only song I haven't heard from Ten. I would have freaked the fuck out! Although, I freak the fuck out regardless of what's being played.

Maybe next time.

What would you do, kids?

I was 2nd row tonight, Mike side. After the show I'm walking out...suddenly this guy with a face full of piercings LAUNCHES himself over a row of chairs after something. I can see he's flailing away at an Eddie guitar pick but can't reach it, so I bend over and pick it up. The guy starts begging me for it (literally), saying I only saw it because he threw himself after it (true) and it would mean "more than life itself" if he could have it. Reluctantly I say fine, it means more to him than me and hand it over. Then I curse myself for being a pussy since I'll probably never see this guy again in my life. I'm a huge loser who should have just walked away, right? It's not like a Mike pick where he throws out a shitload every night, it was an Eddie pick. Still, it's only a pick...right?

Yeah but you did the right thing. Isn't that what matters?

I would have done the same even though It would kill me at the time........as time goes on it will get easier I'm sure[/quote]

In 2008 before an Eddie solo show, as Eddie was walking up the back stairs into Massey Hall, he reached into his pocket and threw down a handful of picks. A girl goes running to collect them and I run towards them too, but a security guard grabs me and says 'they're for her'. I approach her and say "i'll give you $20 for one pick, you have so many" and she says 'sorry, this one's for my friend, and this one is reserved for my other friend and this one is for my other friend and i need to keep these ones for myself'. bitch.. She got so many and didn't give me one. Tonight, just over 3 years later, I see them throw a pick down, and with my face full of piercings, I dive for it, I've wanted one for so long. I cut up my hand pretty good trying to reach through the underside of a chair to find that someone else snagged it just before I was able to. I pleaded with him for a few minutes until he finally handed it over. I know he didn't want to and I couldn't believe his kindness. I will thank him forever. What an amazing guy, I hope he doesn't feel bad about it, he should feel good, and I owe him at least a drink. I'm glad you posted on here because I wanted to thank you again and let you know your kindness was not wasted on an asshole. You're amazing for doing that and I hope you get amazing karma in return. You deserve it. Thanks again. I won't ever forget it. The show was obviously amazing, but you helped make my night. Thank you.[/quote]

sweet!!! nice job peeps! true gratitude and little reason to regret. I once grabbed a stone pic after it fell out of some guys hands essentially and still feel like a bit of a dick about doing that all these years later. It was a moment of selfishness and entitlement that really doesn't need to be there b/c we all have it quite damn good. Yay yay:)

ps awesome show, didn't mind the repeats at all, they were all solid crowd singalong types. Loved cinnamon girl tag and will continue to hold out for a full version in toronto one of these years

Pretty disappointed actually... 6 repeats from night 1 plus "Last Kiss". But my real complaint is not a single song from "Riot Act" or "Pearl Jam" between the two nights. I just don't get how you can completely neglect those albums while repeating so many songs over a two night run in a city. The fact that yesterday was so amazing could be contributing to my disappointment as well... I mean, how do you top that? Just my two cents though, which is worth about exactly that. I heard plenty of people saying what a great show it was. Still the greatest band on Earth. As for the security, I got into it with one guy during "Yellow Ledbetter" because he made a 5 year old kid get off of a guys shoulders. This poor kid probably couldn't see shit the whole night and the guy in front of him was nice enough to put him up at the end and this dick comes and ruins it.

Disappointed? They played 14 songs that they haven't performend at the 4 shows before???? :shock:
