I think the roar from the audience when they came on for the 2nd encore deafened me. seriously, i cannot hear well from my left ear.

shit.

review later.

HAHAHAHAHA! That made me crack up!! Hope you're doing ok now!

though words could never express my amazing feelings for this show, i'm going to give it a shot.

this was my second pj show. my first was hartford of 06.

hard to imagine was an amazing opener, uniting the crowd right from the start. then bashing right into save you was so intense. when ed yelled "help yourseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelf" i nearly shit. his voice was amazing the whole night.


seeing faithfull and who you are were big highlights for me .. was dying to see those 2

present tense may have been the best live song experience i ever had. gave me chills from head to toe. so unbelievable

wma, down, and 1/2 full were also huge treats for me. that had to be the BEST version of half full i had ever seen/heard. "don't see george bush as half empty, see him always completely full of shit" and "the haves be havin more, yet still boored .. WHAT THE FUCK!?!?" .. fantastic

reign o'er me was EPIC. leash and stbc were rockin as hell .. especially spin spin. wasted reprise into porch was pretty special for me. when he played wasted reprise, something about it just made me think of how lucky i was to be there and enjoy the night. so great

i enjoyed no more alot more then i ever would have expected and i love eds rants so it was sweet. crazy mary was intense, during comatose i thought the whole place shook, ibim with cj ramone was mint, and alive was monstrous. this crowd was INSSSSSAAAAAAAANNEE!!!! dont think i'll ever see anything like it again

closing with indifference was huge for me. loved it


that show was absolutely ridiculous. i'm still in awe. wish i could do night 2.
BUT HARTFORD AND MANSFIELD 2 HERE I COME!!

love this band so much. had the time of my life. thank you for being the GREAT FUCKING BAND IN THE WORLD!

YESTERDAY WAS THE GREATEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im still in fucking awe, words really cannot describe what i went thru yesterday.

Well let me first start of by saying, that i had NO expectation to win the Lottery at MSG, but i went and got my Tix yesterday, and sure enough

ROW A SEC 3 SEAT 12!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was FIRST ROW DEAD CENTER, in front of Eddie, im not bragging im just amazed.

NEVER NEVER did i think i would win the lottery at MSG, if anything i thought one of the Camden shows.

THANK YOU 10c for making this show the greatest show of my life!!

the show was beyond spectacular, it was unbeleivable, in fact my friend and i kept turning to each other saying, " is this really happening"

i took a ton of pics, and a soon as im done with tonites show i will post them,

the audience last night was incredible, so fucking LOUD, and the setlist was amazing

out of all the PJ shows i have gone to, i have not heard my favorite song. and i have been bummed out many times because of it , but i couldnt have asked for a better night for them to Play INDIFFERENCE, thank you PEARL JAM

Thank you. I thought the energy on the floor was meh, hit or miss at best. It took Love Reign O'er Me (and that entire uber energetic set) to get everyone going. Finally Ed started talking again after that set and the energy was up...I'm telling you, he feeds off it and if he ain't talking you ain't rockin hard enough.

I hope the crowd does a better job tonight on the floor - most of the 10c fans were amongst the many in the balcony, which is where it was rockin all night IMO.

Honestly, maybe you were in a dead spot or something, but I was in section 8, and for much of the night, the entire floor in front of me looked like a sea of people jumping and bobbing and stuff. Aside from a few GA shows, it was the best energy I'd ever seen down front at a PJ show.

I left very, very impressed -- and it made my night.

I was also in Section 8 and, as I posted right after the show last night, the section seemed great! I screamed my lungs out all night, one guy in front of me played air guitar and sang every song...another guy rocked shades all night and bobbed along to everything, really getting into STBC. There was lots of singing and cheering in Section 8...also, I'm 6'3" and can see over the top of the entire crowd on the floor, and it sure looked good for the most part.

Sorry, I thought my number was in the 300's but I checked my profile and it said 200's. What the hell was I thinking...I've been so hyped about the concerts and forgot what my member # was...lol...
I guess I was seated with the 300's...but that section people were having so much fun.

Hopefully you are tall and at least got to see the band on stage...right?!?

F'N great show! it was my 12th show and off the top of my head i would say it is easily top 3 for me, maybe the best. i've pretty much been to all the local shows since '96 including randall's island night 2, Jones Beach 1/2/3, MSG '03 and Meadowlands '06 (night 2 with great 10C seats, awesome show) and this rivals them all. i was pumped up going in, but when i picked up my 10C tix and saw floor seats it just took it to another level.

I was also in Section 8 row F and the guy next to me was also at his 12th show (Thorns2010 was that you, just curious) and i think the crowd was great! i loved the setlist, lots of rare shit, covers and a good mix of ten through yield. before the show i told my wife and friends that i wanted to hear down, love reign oer me, alive and i believe in miracles (as soon as CJ Ramone came out i was screaming for it) and they played all four, FUCK YEAH!!!!! i also thought they would open with all night, but it came a little later. the only thing missing was one sung by stone, hopefully we'll get mankind or dont gimme no lip tonight!

setlist: i loved it, after 12 shows im just hoping to see something for the first time (6 new ones for me) and get some old standbys and they nailed it. my wife (who loved the show and mentioned she now wants to see them at the Gorge!!!!) and a couple of friends who are casual fans would have liked to hear some more that they recognized, but they enjoyed the show nonetheless.

highlights: the whole thing, who you are, wma and the four i mentioned above.

lowlights: my feet are killing me and $7 beers at the bar before the show, missing the 11:38 train and taking the 12:23 without a seat.

funny shit: i saw a guy tackled by six security guards right in front of us. was that the guy who threw the t-shirt? after they took him down, he just tried to get back up like "its cool, no problem" and down he went again.

cant wait for night 2, but im in 331 row K. i took a look up from my floor seats last night and i dont think i will be unhappy with tonights seats.
