I'm 211xxx and was in section 123. Once again, I was so pleased with my seats. Toronto II was the first time I sat in the wings (I usually get row 17-24, depending on the venue) and I loved being in the wings again. It's awesome to be able to actually watch the band, instead of the back of heads. Both nights I was on Mike's side, and he is so fun to watch. He has so much energy and has so much interaction with the crowd. Eddie was outstanding that way, too. Man, they all looked like they were having so much fun. Lots of smiles and laughs. It was really great to watch.

Highlights for me were Immortality, Not For You, Brain of J, and GTF. Additionally, from the start of Jeremy through the entire first and second encores to Yellow Ledbetter was outstanding! I didn't know Search and Destroy or I Remember You :oops: , but they were fantastic, particularly the latter. I Remember You was beautiful. It was a touching moment and I loved how nearly the entire arena was silent, just listening to Eddie. Beautiful.

Yet another fantastic Pearl Jam concert. They never cease to amaze me. I got the pleasure of seeing them three times this tour and last night was my last, and it is bittersweet. Post-Pearl Jam depression should be settling in shortly.

It's interesting that they crossed out DTE for Hail Hail. This was my 10th show and it was the first time they didn't play DTE. My consecutive streak has come to an end.

Oh, and overall, I thought the crowd was great! My only criticism was the number of people who arrived late and clumsily made their way to their seats. There was also a bunch of people who were up and down the entire night. I try to focus on the band, but it's distracting when you have people climbing over you all night to get to the aisle and then back to their seats. Annoying. :?

I'm pleased with either DTE or Hail Hail. I've heard both songs live multiple times, and I love 'em both!!

I'm pretty good with anything from No Code or Yield.

Or most anything by Pearl Jam....

Unthought Known - Up youse people who want varied sets. I want this and GTF to be played at EVERY FRIGGIN SHOW, otherwise the show sucks. Needed a bit of a soar after Nothingman.

I feel the same way. I LOVE GTF and want it played at every show I'm at. It makes me happy. Unthought Known is my favourite off of Backspacer and it's quickly becoming a favourite overall. I like to soar!!

Is it me, or are their jams a little bit longer and more frisky on this tour? Even the end of Betterman was more rocking and longer than usual

Awesome of Ed to extend the beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee on Black[/quote]

You are right on point about the jams being longer. I have waited years for this, and they are finally jamming out some songs. This was my 10th show, and its right up there with Buffalo 03'. The energy in the building was great, awesome set, Ed was on Fireeeeee!

Highlights were Immortality & not for you.

Gern Blansten · September 2011

Cropduster
Brain of J
Hail Hail

awesome...

sharptoe · September 2011

I agree about the jams too. Stone was KILLING the end of Not for you. I cant wait to hear that one again.

Here are a few pics:

Oh yeah....and WWE superstar The Edge was Mike side right by us. He was singing everything. (yeah, I know....weird that I took his pic. oh well.)

Totally agree - every jam has been outstanding. Last night's Immortality was unbelievable. And even Habit.

Smarchee - didn't run into you at all this tour....but glad you had fun and got great seats!

well I am glad someone noticed, definitly jams are longer this tour, which is awesome. Were you in Ottawa? The RMV jam was phenomenal, I will revisit this first on the bootleg.

Yeah, that's too bad I didn't run into you :( I did have fun, as I am sure you as well. Seats were great last night for sure....(except) for the people beside me, thought they didn't ruin anything for me, but

this is what the female of the 2 people said to me as the first interaction of the night
"would you have a problem if I peed here during the show" and then made a frontward squatting motion into the floor. :? :? :? :?

:? :?

before I could reply she said "would you call the authorities"

the dude than said "yeah, I did that at the Molson Amp last time PJ were there"

I shit you not, I thought "oh great, meatheads"

so I said "well, I wouldn't go to the authorities, but I can't say that would enhance my Pearl Jam experience"

and the conversation ensued with him talking about tickets and seating, someone who just joined the club this tour, great

wow, was that a weird 2 minutes

Was he in Section 123?

We noticed that some guy had beer delivered to him and that people on the floor were pointing and taking pictures of him, but all we saw was the back of a blonde with hockey hair.

Edit: The guy we saw was wearing a plaid shirt (I believe) at the beginning of the concert, but he could have taken it off.

Dude you were in my row. What seats were you in? I thought the energy was ok.

We had seats 11 and 12.

So you were right beside us: we were 9 & 10. You were right on the aisle no?

HA! What are the chances?

We were two in from the aisle.

Gruberman · September 2011

I was at both Toronto shows and Hamilton was my 9th show. I think last nights and 2005 Hamilton shows are near the top for favorite. The Ten club fans and the energy really help make the shows so enjoyable. I just hope my turn comes with the lottery seats. What are the odds in winning those rows?

So did you see what happened with the guy who got booted? The guy who had his hands in the air like 90% of the time when he wasn't taking pictures or leaving his seat for 3-4 songs at a time?

ttals13 · September 2011

First post. My 8th show, but first one using Tenclub to get tickets. Was blown away with results, very very
thankful to Tenclub for lottery.

Eddie tossed that tambourine almost right over my head to a euphoric older gentlemen in the 2nd row.

Zeebarf · September 2011

I read what you posted Golden Egg and I was thinking the exact same thing, the crowd in my section seemed pretty cold fish compared to the Toronto shows. I now realize I was in the same row as you, on the other side of MarkieMark, seats 7 and 8, haha.

I saw the whole thing go down between those guys in front of us. The one dude kept talking to his buddy at the other end of the row and passing beers back and forth and finally that bald guy lost it on them and a fight almost broke out. The rest of the show his buddy was giving the bald guy mad dog stares and I thought for sure something was going to happen. I gotta say that kind of chest thumping aggression at a Pearl Jam show seemed so out of place and really killed the vibe for me. Which was a shame because the band seemed to be on fire and if the seating had slightly shifted and I was behind Ike the dancing maniac like I have been for the past 8 years of tours then I probably would've ranked Hamilton my fav of the 3 shows I saw.

I won the lottery for the 9th time last night but do me a favor and don't let Santos L Helper know
because he thinks I'm lying.

I sure did, since I'm the one who had to get security

The guy was pretty much wasted from the moment he showed up to his seat (2 - 3 songs in to the show). He kept hugging and bothering the guys sitting next to him in the row and they kept telling him to get lost. Thankfully he kept leaving (giving my wife and I an excellent view!) for 20+ min at a time. The last time he came back (a couple songs before Black) he was really out of it. Apparently he had a friend with tickets at the opposite end of the row and he felt that he should constantly turn and sing to his friend. In doing so, he kept pushing the two guys to his right. Those guys told him to cool it, which is when he snapped and started getting violent. He grabbed one of the guys and tried to start a fight. That's when I was asked to get the attention of security, who promptly escorted him away.

I believe the guy's friend at the end of the row also got escorted out during the encore break, as I was told he was causing trouble after learning his friend was removed from the venue.
