    I saw the gorge and both shows are special in my mind, this was a more hard driving set and a little better show. Unbelievable. I just want to thank PJ, Nitro for hooking my room up and a couple of very fine people that let me share their smoke as I couldn't round up any.

    This show was absolutely sick, unreal. Theo jumpin on stage, wow. Awesome. I'm still in awe today.

    I missed the ten club sale and was stuck in the back in the balcony, but you know what? It was alright! The kids up there (and I do mean kids- I may have been the only one who could drink legally) sang along, danced and made a lot of happy noise. There was also no security, so smoking was cool- as opposed to the Loges last time, where it was treated like a federal offense. So, I was impressed with the crowd, and the band was on fire, as everyone has said. The rockers were great- Marker in the Sand is a standout live, but I was also struck by how gorgeous Man of the Hour sounded. Thanks, guys!

    Last night was my 11 year old sons first PJ concert. We had great seats, 8th row on Mike's side. He knew how lucky he was to be part of last night. He lost his voice singing along with the crowd. Sometimes I would look over at him and see an expression of absolute amazement on his face. Thanks to the guy and girl behind us for rocking out with him! He LOVED it!

    To put LEASH in perspective..the song had not been sung live since before my son was BORN.

    The people around me went NUTS when we realized we were hearing leash. It was like the crowd EXPLODED! I like that it wasn't "introduced" beforehand. It made it all that more surprising.

    Boston 1 was just as amazing. For me, last night was a continuation of one long show that I will never forget!

    Great post..
    ditto what she said... plus..:

    Ed's pre-set "Porch" (can it get any better?..I KNEW HE WOULD COME OUT!)
    "Garden" in the Garden

    "Man of the Hour" just dripping with profound sadness..

    "Black" simply the best version of the entire tour to date..Ed's vocals and Mikey's solo were perfect..

    "YLB / Star Spangled Banner"..."Mikey Moment" to remember..

    "SOLAT" Ed holding the note on "and I liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisten

    "Army Reserve" finally saw this live.. Mikey does the "U2 guitar chimes" parts, love it, love it, love it!!!

    Very excited about Leash and Parachutes but a little bit dissapointed that so many songs were repeated within a two night Boston stand.

    First off, thank you, thank you, thank you to 10c. My seats were amazing both nights. First night - Loge row 12 Stones side, Second night, loge row 12 Mike's side. How cool is that - thanks again 10c.

    Two amazing nights - loved the overall energy - first night crowd was in a frenzy during second encore, second night crowd rocked throughout. What can you say about this band - Leash, Smile, Parachutes (which they performed very well). Comatose rocked my ass off.

    Nice job to the crazy jumping arm pumping guy in the front row both nights. Seems like 25% of the first rows acted like I would - just going nuts, and the other 75% were fucking bobble heads.

    Hey New York - first the Red Sox, now Leash (which has been played in Boston the last 3 times it's been dropped!!!)
    Saw things, so much clearer....

    wow. I still feel weird this morning.

    First of all, while eating dinner at the Harp before the show last night, my brother and I were of course discussing what songs would be great to hear. They played all the songs we talked about (rearviewmirror, SOLAT, Parachutes, and of course Leash) which was kinda weird.

    Secondly, these two shows had the nicest people of any pearl jam shows I have ever been to. everyone seemed to be willing to strike up conversations. I know everyone is always talking about PJ fans being so friendly, but I've never really experienced it until this week. it was just so cool to talk to other wicked excited people before the show and gossip about leash and whatnot. Thanks to the girl who let me examine her new tatoo! I'm really thinking about it!

    ok, now, for almost 5 years the 1998 show at great woods (the "quarter" show) was my favorite show ever. Then, it was replaced by Seattle II, 2002. That was then replaced by MSG I, 2003, which was blown out of the water by Mansfield III, 2003. But last night, I do believe, has by far claimed the prize. As someone said earlier, I'm not in love with the song Leash, but it felt so cool that they played it, just because *we* wanted them too. I don't think I have jumped around as much as I did last night. I was covered in sweat by the end of the night. By the time they played leash I was dizzy and felt like I was going to throw up, but I didn't care, I kept going. When they turned up the lights, I noticed that I recognized half the people around me and further up front, not just from the previous night but from the last tour, the 2002 seattle shows, etc. That was a really cool feeling, seeing everyone rock out together.

    I'm pretty sure that was it for me on this tour. I have to go back to NC this weekend and I have a summer internship so I can't take off much work and I don't have much money to travel. I was really upset that I was only going to 2 shows this year, but now I think that's kinda good because I think after last night, anything else might be a letdown.

    I just remembered this...when Stone had the wig on and was jamming with Mike, Mike reached over and parted the wig in the middle..I hope someone got a picture of it!

    I am still awake after all that.

    The concert was just awesome!!

    I still cannot believe that they unleashed (I am advocating this term for what happened - I like the sound of it.) among many other high quality moments.

    I am happier than a pig in shit right now!!!!

    This show looks like it was amazing! I haven't purchased a bootleg from this tour yet but I think this might be the first one. :D

    Both Boston shows were amazing, but I think Boston 2 was more special. Of course having "Leash" played was killer.

    The only thing that I am disappointed by is the fact that the band repeated so many songs from the first night. I wouldn't mind (and fully expected) if the Band just repeated songs from the new album, but there was no need to repeat songs like "Even Flow," "Alive," "Corduroy," and especially "Rockin' In The Free World."

    When are these FLAC bootlegs going to be available?

    Anyone have an MP3 of Eddie's pre-set ("Porch")? I need it!
