    I have NEVER been so satisfied with a band! The show in halifax was just AMAZING and i would do everything to see them again! they were perfect, and I was so emotional. I have never felt so a part of a show, the audience was like on big happy family, it was great! They were great, and I quote the halifax newpaper the chronicle herald' if your kicking yourself for not getting tickets to this show you aren't kicking yourself hard enough' whoop!:D

    Really need to see that pic, and you're right I was having the time of my life, so happy that PJ offers these bootlegs, sure makes the withdrawals easier to handle. Still totally pumped!!!!!

    Two 10C Tix to the Halifax show-$120.00 (roughly)
    Two Planes Tickets Birmingham, AL to Halifax-a bunch more money
    Having a girlfriend who wins the silent auction for the band autographed hockey jersey-absolutely priceless!!!!!!!!!!!!


    A great show in a great town......we loved our four plus days in Nova Scotia and plan on coming back sometime, hopefully soon.

    Yes, we transported back some Keith's!!!! However, I did eat all the Tim Horton doughnuts before we got to the airport.

    Just got back from Halifax today!
    What an amazing time!
    My head's still spinning from all the excitement!
    Kind of sad it's all over though...
    Thanks Pearl Jam!

    Anyone got any pics from around section 53???

    Hey does anybody have the Halifax concert they would like to trade for the Ottawa show? Harvest Moon is unreal and the crowd is full of energy and lively on all tracks. The ending of Black is one of the best you've never heard.

    Let me know macass5@hotmail.com

    Cheers to all that attended the show from elsewhere ... it was awesome to share the experience with you.

    The show was amazing, great set list.

    I just wished they had played Given to Fly and Present Tense. Other than that there are no complaints.

    I thought the show was incredible, easily my favorite show of all time (live or boot) but I was surprised by how little of Yield was played and PT is my fave PJ song so it would have been nice but really when it was all said and done, great show and possibly one of the, if not the best of the Canadian Tour.

    Does anyone know if/where I can get a download of the Halifax show? I was there and it was fantastic and I want to hear it again!

    Go to http://www.pearljam.com

    They have a link there to get bootleg mp3's of each show on the Canadian tour.....just need to download an application and have a credit card.

    Enjoy.

    As the other half of the Alabama team, just a quick note to say that I've never been in a more gracious, welcoming place than Halifax! Absolutely beautiful with amazing people!!!! We can't wait to come back!

    And as a PJ virgin...I've never, ever seen a show like that! (I will also never wear spike heeled boots to a PJ concert again!). To my seatmates on row seven...yeah...I was the red-head jumping up and down like a maniac during Down...my absolute favorite and one big "please, please let them play this" song! Don't forget to email me those pics! You guys were the best!

    And beloved, at least one of those Keith's better still be in the 'frig when I get to your place!!!

    I am so glad I saw this show, it was the best one I saw out of the three I attended. My friend told me that the St.john's show wasn't as great the the halifax one. I am glad that I made the decision to have food for a month rather than going to Newfoundland. After seeing the setlists for those shows I am glad that my last show was such a great show. I am glad that Pealr jam came to my hometown and gave such a good show. Definitly my favorite pearl jam concert.

    Eddie Vedder and Pearl Jam love to play and this concert was no doubt’s the best performance I have ever seen in my life. What a show ....I wouldn't be able to describe it in words. His voice was AMAZING, never missed a note. He was going nuts on the stage and the place was crazy....more than anything I seen at any other Concert (and I saw Metallica, Ozzy, Tool etc). They played all the best songs and Vedder kept telling everybody how appreciated he was to play for them, it was about 3 hours long with one 5 minute break. I will definitely go see them again if they come around (and they said they would)...anyway AMAZING!.....oh yeah, I got these tickets as a Birthday gift, they were box seats with a Bar fridge which was so close to the stage (to the right) that I didn't need the binoculars to clearly see all their faces. There was so much positive energy in the air that I can’t stop thinking about it and the concert was 4 days ago!

    I would like to note that she is the better half of this team from Alabama....and I will save a Keith's for her.

    Gentlemen,

    Not sure this is the proper place to make this response, but since you all seem to be responding to Tybird's previous post, here it goes...

    Thank you all for the marriage proposals...you know who you are...sad what you guys will do for an autographed jersey...shame on you! :::she says with a grin:::

    However, to answer all your questions in one fell swoop...

    1. Lawyer...try not to hold it against me

    2. Tiffany, classic setting, at least a carat

    3. Yes, it's serious; no, I don't intend on "broadening my horizons" no matter how much I liked Halifax and Horton's Boston Creme Donuts

    4. Yes, I do sound like Scarlett O'Hara and can ride a horse, shoot and cuss with the best belle you've ever seen

    5. No, a lady never talks about her age, sex life, or lingerie preference

    6. Jeans, pink tank top, black boots, red hair, row 7, yes, that prolly was me, and no, I don't think the shirt was totally obscene, maybe borderline...

    7. And most importantly, yeah, I'd go see them again in a heartbeat...and you won't convince me that "Down" isn't the greatest song ever written.

    Thanks for the ego boost, guys!
    Love,
    The Daystar

    we arrived just around 1pm, found out i was row 9 on mikes side!!! (ended being last seat in row perfect) after i met up w/ my friends at motel we decided to go hang around the arena to try to hear soundcheck, finally around 5pm we did : cant keep, low light, breath, fortunate son (w/ corin) & a few more i forget

    security was not too bad except for the goin over the line bullshit, i was really surprised that there was show posters left after the show and picked one up!

    driftin pre-set, s-k were really tight i did end up missing mother as i had to go up to get a drink, i could NOT believe they were opening with hard to imagine!! amazing!
    all the 'man' songs, in my tree, both singles soundtrack songs,lowlight, glorified g, bushleaguer so many first time treats for me, what a nite.

    after the show we were way too drained to hit up any of the after parties, thanks for sharing all the pics so far friends, i'll see if mine turned out tomorrow and post em here if they do
    "ah fuck it get in trouble"

    Anyone know why the cops hauled that guy out? It was up in section 31-32 near the first 1/4 of the show. On the CD you can hear a boo for no apparent reason and this is when this guy was escorted out. It was the same area as the crazy curly haired jumping guy (CCHJG) who ran up and down all night.

    PS - PJ needs to play Magnetic Hill next Aug/Sept - 85,000 fans...think about it!
