    Just got home. My friend who I went with got in the lottery. We were 2nd row on Stone's side. I'm still stunned. Maybe I can put together some coherent thoughts tomorrow and some sleep and reflection.
    Best I can say for now is great show, great energy, great setlist, great being there.
    Off to bed to rest up for MSG II...
    Just waiting for my next show...

    I just got home, and I can't go to sleep. This show was definitely something special, even though I would've liked them to have done a few more songs that haven't been played yet this tour. We did get Spin the Black Circle, which was maniacal in it's intensity.

    Just an absolutely incredible show! The backup singers, the Ramone, Faithful, 1/2 Full, Leash, and so on!!!!

    No words can describe that. None. I've seen over 200 concerts in my life. The Stones, The Dead, The Who, Pink Floyd, Clapton Tom Petty, U2, Pearl Jam, amongst dozens of others.

    Not even close, best show I've ever seen. NOT EVEN CLOSE.

    For now, all I have to say is that if you took rubber bands from the package near the B Poster line, you have me to thank! And to all of you who were grabbing them over my shoulder as I was trying to get my poster wrapped nicely without asking, you are very rude individuals.


    thats funny. there were a lot of people on the street afterwards realizing they forgot they had bracelets to redeem kicking themselves. Guess you got "lucky" being able to focus on what mattered tonight right.

    I'll give you a big one of many reasons that Pearl Jam is the best live band out there for me...
    Tonight was my 25th Pearl Jam show, and at EVERY SINGLE one I have seen them play a song that I have never seen them play before. Tonight... WMA which I had only seen them do as a tag, and Watchtower.

    It is going to be TOUGH for them to keep that going tomorrow. They may have to bust out Education or something. I would like to see them do Big Wave or Tremor Christ. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

    Had an absolute blast at tonight's show.

    Three best quotes of the night:

    "I now have 'Tom Brady love' for Eddie Vedder." -random guy outside after the concert
    "I'd like to thank God who I don't believe in for this support" -Ed in encore
    "Did they play Ten?" -some guy who missed the first part of the main set

    How could I forget about Present Tense? The best version I have ever seen, without question.

    PT was absolutely amazing. Mindblowing. And I agree that this show just had a different feel to it. can't put my finger on it. Just incredible, from start to finish. I can't believe how good Watchtower was. Reign O'er Me.....wow. The studio version is incredible, but I thought that would be impossible to carry ove rto a live show. But they did it. And how.

    Only gripe I have.... do people really have to record half the show on their shit digital cameras/cell phones? The quality blows, and noone wants to go to youtube to see a 50 second clip. So put the camera down. You're blocking someone's view


    ETA: Leaving, I saw a woman who was probably in her mid 70's. On the train home, I saw a kid who was probably 9 or 10.

    Everyone needs to stop what they are doing and watch this. The camera work needs well... work but I tried my best to keep my hands steady, although I think it came out just fine. Anyway, chills will run down your spine. This is a performance for the ages. Mark it down. LROM - MSG/08... classic. Wow.
