    so many moments, many were swept under the memory rug!

    I predict when the DVD/ CD combo comes out (wishful thinking folks),
    people will recall their amazing rendition of "Breath"
    with these two key moments:

    2:40 (Ed and crowd in unison)
    4:00 McCready's blistering picture perfect solo!

    EV intro to Chloe Dancer / Crown of Thorns
    10/25/13 Hartford
  • I was watching a random YouTube video of Release and you can hear two guys talking and it goes something like this:

    Guy#1 – “what’s going on, what’s going on?!?!?” as your hear the opening of Release and the crowd going crazy.

    Guy#2 – “you’re about to have your mind blown”

    That was the end of the conversation (that I was able to make out), but really is there anything more that needs to be said about Alpine 2011?
    nothing more..

    was the best party in the history of the band..end of story....

    and in the best of all???

    in the fuckin middle of nowhere..


    remind me this...

    I REALLY am hoping for a DVD of this but will be extremely happy when the official boots come out. Official listening (and hopefully viewing) party plans will be made!

    Awesome! My mind was totally blown after that first night. I was hoping for Release as an opener...as soon as we heard the first notes, unlost & I gave each other a big hug. The crowd is always amazing at Pearl Jam shows...but this crowd was wonderful :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:
    Show #13 was a lucky one for me....

    I was wet, tired and my feet were killing me, but you couldn't tell from my face… glad there were a bunch of us with that ear to ear grin!

    'Breath' had to be the highlight of the weekend for me. I can still hear the entire palce singing "If I knew where it was......". Awesome.

    It's funny b/c this is the song that got me thinking it would be cool if they did 2 cuts of the boot. One with a great band/crowd mix. And one with the crowd turned up. I don't know how that would wind up turning out. And, it's not happening anyway. I guess in a lot of ways - that's the audience recordings (but not REALLY).

    But, along with the DVD, I hope they are taking great pains to figure out just the right mix to get the impact of this. It really was something else.
    Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

    I couldn't agree more - a HUGE part of that whole weekend was the crowd participation...just hearing everyone singing along is what really makes it special for me. I really really hope the mix reflects that!
