    Meilleurs billets du fan club a vie. Jai un membership 216xxx et jétais 6eme rangée !!! Incroyable, vraiment un excellent show, State of Love and Trust pour la 1ere fois live !!!

    I got my best seats ever at a PJ show, I was in the 6th row (216xxx), amazing view, amazing set list, they even played State Of... eventhough they had a rough night the night before, they had a lot of energy. The crowd was awesome too.

    Pearl Jam rocks... best band in the world, confirmed again.

    I was blown away. Almost as good as the Montreal show and that's saying a lot. I also had the best tickets I could ever hope to have for a Pearl Jam concert, 10th row, dead center, right in front of Eddie, and my number is 266xxx!

    Just amazing!

    Oh and Eddie said it was a little late to say this, but he was sorry that we lost our NHL team (i.e Nordiques), something about the city not being corporate enough (I'm paraphrasing here) and he also said "fuck the Avalanche". Which was doubly funny since the people sitting close to us were from Denver.

    Eddie also promised to come to Quebec whenever they tour Canada again.

    Oh and the poster was the best I've seen so far. I had a great time!

    and to think that i had regretted ordering this show due to travel hassels. not anymore. pj rocked the pepsi and then some!!
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    9 hours?? Damn. I would hate to drive with you. I did it in about 6 last night. Hope you are safe.

    I had 236XXX and was the last in the 7th row (on Stone's side). I have never been so close, or on the floor really, and it was a great experience. When you are that close you are part of the performance rather than just listening to it (which isn't bad either). Definatly a lot of jumping around and rocking out.

    The reason the set was short was because Ed was tired. Appearently he and U2 (or at least Bono) stayed up until 5am "talking about the world's problems." When they came out for the 2nd encore he promised the next time he comes back he will go to sleep before 5am.

    Before the 2nd encore they put out the Uke but then took it away. I have a feeling that they were going to play a lot more but just didn't. (I don't have the setlist or anything - just from what went on.)

    4 covers is a lot: The American in Me, Crazy Mary, I Believe in Miracles and Fuckin' Up. Out of 26 songs, I would love to hear more of their own. But I cannot complain.

    The American in Me - It sounded good. Real rocking tune. It did strike me as being completely out of place. You are in a French speaking city in Canada with a small fan club turnout.

    I Believe in Miracles - This version was a little faster than I have heard - especially compared to the Benaroya version. He talked about Johnny Ramone on this song and before Man of the Hour.

    Ed apologized for losing the NHL franchise and said "Fuck the Colorado Avalanche". He guessed that Quebec wasn't too "corporate" enough to keep the franchise. Blah.

    The Man of the Hour, I Am Mine and Footsteps part was the best, IMO. It seemed to fit the sort of laid back, tired motif and they pulled it off. Ed said that "last night" (i.e., Toronto) it was some guy's birthday and he wanted them to play Footsteps. They didn't play it in Toronto so they played it now and hoped it was there or would get a copy or something.

    I don't know what the tag on Betterman was. TSIS says it was Save It for Later but I don't think so. At least it wasn't the chorus part "Save it for later - don't runaway...." so I am not sure.

    The crowd was cool. Lots of people wearing old Pearl Jam stuff from the tours. That's not just the 10C. People seemed to be having a good time. As I was driving up there, there was something on Quebec City's English radio station about the concert. She called Pearl Jam one of the "great indie bands" which I thought was strange. But they seemed primed for the concert. All except directing traffic when the show was over...

    I know nothing about the mike going through the floor. I wasn't close enough.

    Oh! And one more thing. During Betterman after the first verse Ed had the crowd sing the chorus. Then the crowd went completely nuts. They were screaming and clapping sooooooooo loudly that Ed was taking aback and couldn't do his "Oh Oh Oh". They will still cheering when he sang it! That was impressive.

    That's all for now. Godspeed.

    rockin' crowds are so beautiful. :o Especially in smaller arenas. And the Colisée Pepsi is certainly one of them smaller, more intimate venues. It is also...dare i say....old school. Whereas the Bell Center in Montreal is humongous, impersonal and undeniably high tech, it really feels like you're back in the 70's when you get through the Colisée Pepsi's front doors. These walls and seats are filled with history and you feel right at home, in there. Might i say it was fitting that i'd have my best Pearl Jam experience ever in that arena. What a beautiful night i had. 7th row, dead center, with a great view of the stage.... A GREAT performance by Sleater-Kinney (so cute, these girls :D ) and an EVEN GREATER performance by our own favourite band Pearl Jam. Stone and Jeff seemed to be a bit withdrawn, to me, though. Must have been because they had partied all night, the night before, with Bono and the other guys from U2 (as Eddie said during their performance). But i was glad to see Jeff slowly get out of the slumber during Rearviewmirror and then literally get loose during Fuckin' Up. It was so great to see him jump on Matt Cameron's drum stage and not only smile, but BEAM as he was playing...with that big grin on his face that makes you smile back. Mikey certainly put on a show throughout the entire performance. He seemed in a great mood, smiling and looking around at the people. At some point, he threw a guitar pick around to where me and my brother were. I didn't see it because i was looking at Eddie, i think...but my brother did and then i noticed him and a bunch of other people frantically looking for it on the floor. Well guess what...my brother was the one who found it, picked it up, grabbed my hand and put it in its palm. I told him that he should keep it because he was the one who found it, but he said that i was a much bigger Pearl Jam fan that he was and that i deserved it (i love my brother :D ). I guess that'll make for a little souvenir. :o

    What i great night i had. I was in bliss...and still am. I was in love with everything, yesterday night...the place, the bands, the crowd, music and life itself...hehe. Thank you all fellow jammers for making such a great crowd....thank you Pearl Jam for putting on such a great show despite the rough night you had before...THANKS FOR PLAYING FAITHFULL!!

    PIS SALUT À TOUS CEUX QUI ARBORAIENT FIÈREMENT LEURS DRAPEAUX DU QUÉBEC!!!!!

    Bluwapadoo, that's quite a memory you have. I love these detailed accounts of Pearl Jam shows I could not attend. It sounds like you had a great time and the show in general sounds stunning. ^_^

    Allô à tous!

    J'étais à Qc hier soir avec ma soeur et on a vraiment trippé! J'ai eu des frissons, surtout pendant "State of love and trust" et "Green disease"...Et pas mal tout le long du show finalement!

    J'ai trouvé bizarre qu'ils jouent les lumières grandes ouvertes, mais j'ai aimé ça pareil, car ça rendait l'atmosphère plus intime, comme si on les voyait jammer dans leur local, ouin, le Colisée s'est transformé en un grand local full éclairé!!!

    WOW! Ils jouent leurs tunes presque intégralement! Ça faisait trois fois que je les voyais et c'est toujours aussi palpitant! Dommage qu'il ne restait plus de chandails bleus pour filles...(J'avoue que leur marchandise ne me plaisait pas tellement).

    Autre chose, la sécurité! Je n'en revenais pas, je me suis fait revirer de bord à cause que mes jumelles étaient trop grosses!!!!! J'ai réussi à les rentrer quand même par une autre porte (de justesse...), mais c'était pas mal zélé comme procédures...

    En tout cas, mon coeur chante Pearl Jam depuis hier soir et j'ai acheté le show sur leur site, ils sont trop bons, et pros!!!

    Bye et au prochain show!

    Yeah, the security at the show was ridiculous. They wouldn't let people in with poster tubes, but high end digital cameras, no problem!

    Yeah, the poster tube thing is ridiculous. I went to Hamilton and it was the same thing there. And to top it all off, some ass hole threw their beer cup in my direction and damaged my show poster. I WAS PISSED OFF!

    Say, does anyone have a picture of what the show poster looked like for Quebec City..... usually they're up by now on eBay but there's not one yet.
