**Ottawa Fanviews Here**

What was my 8th Pearl Jam concert had to be the BEST EVER! Thanks to the 10Club for the awesome seats right beside the stage and only 8 rows up. (H-16-115) I squealed like a little girl when the lady at the Will Call showed me where my seats were!

I still cant believe how easy it was to sneak my camera in! The security guys didnt touch the women at all...they just asked me to turn a 360 then pull up my pant legs to see my ankles. I crotched my camera and looped the wrist band around the button of my jeans!

Everyone has reviewed the hightlights in this thread so I cant add to that! The night rendered me virtually speechless as I was in total awe of the excellent setlist and response to it! A good friend at my side, and my favourite band for the last 14 years, performing on the stage in front of me, it doesnt get better than this! (yes, I one of those 45 yr olds who never grew up!)

Pearl Jam has been such a huge part of my life over the years, and I cant thank the band enough for getting me through it, with the help of their music!

Here are a few of my pictures:

I can only hope that the Toronto show on Monday is half as exciting as last nights was.

It was worth the trip in the pouring rain last night...thats for sure!

Yeah it rained like crazy after the show when I was outside..I got sooo soaked... well worth it though..
Man I enjoyed the Montreal and Ottawa shows...awesome...
feel sad now that it's over...oh well..next tour...hopefully sooner than later

Ottawa is a great city. It was my first time but hopefully not my last time there. Loved the market area. All of the people were super friendly and very talkative. Seems like a chill place. The bus ride back in to the city was fun. A giant sing along. I would love to go back to Ottawa in the winter and skate on the canals. That has to be so cool. Hail Hail to the capital of Canada.

Ok, sorry to anyone that tried this link. Idiot that I am... I forgot to set the album as public. My bad. It should work now.

I rate this as my the best show I've been to, after State College - it many of the same ingredients - great crowd, some rarities, and less played songs, singalongs (been a lot of those this tour), length of show, STONE SINGING.... (we started chanting 'Stone' after) we had great seats, me and my daughter - side section 103 on Mike's side - my best 10C seats ever. As my daugher (11) kept saying 'total facial expressionage' or something like that - she was so hyper before the show - I'd let her have some caffeine in the form of an iced coffee drink - I didn't want her to crash during the show and it didn't happen. Oh my goodness. Bee Girl. how cute. how true. I thought it would be that when Ed and Jeff came out alone. Brain of J, wow. Whipping. (someone'd posted that they wanted to hear that one - I hope they were at this show - I love that song) Don't Gimme No Lip. Green Disease (and a nice dis on Haliburton). Wash to open - wonderful to hear that. This felt like a fan club show in some sections, hearing some less usual song selections which I loved (In Hiding, Brain of J, Sleight of Hand...). Then some usual singalongs (Black, Alive, Jeremy, Crazy Mary, not in that order - I've forgotten the order of the set already!), and fun ending Leaving Here before RITF and YL. The beige shirt that someone threw up on the stage had a picture of a coat hanger on it like Eds SNL shirt. Ed tied it on his head for a while. I'm pretty tired and I must go to bed to recharge and then prepare for my fundraiser tomorrow. Thank you Pearl Jam, thank you 10 club. Going to PJ shows is a peak experience. See you in Toronto and Quebec.
