    What a treat! Seeing the Ottawa and Quebec City shows with 2 entirely different setlists!!!

    As I said before, Quebec City fans are some of the best you'll see. They love their music and love to party...and the colisee, a classic venue.

    I'm glad I made the trip back home.

    Talk about a loud show!!

    Floor GG, thanks Ten Club those were the best tickets i've ever had, i'll be back later with some reviews, but i'm just exhausted and can't wait to get naked and throw myself in the shower...

    just wondering...was there a lot of empty seats toward the back and on the sides or was the place more or less filled up? thanks.

    yes, it was more of less full....they were still plugging the show at 7:30 on the local radio station. It looked like a screw up with tickets though beside Mike there was a whole free row and at the back as well.

    This was my last show of 7 and it was awesome!!! I knew there wasn't a huge fanclub turnout, but 2nd row in front of Mike was a sweet surprise. They made the long drive from Toronto and the dissapointing show there WAY worth it. The guys looked and sounded great. It was also nice to see so many Quebec people in the front.

    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.


    I agree with you that the Colisée is old school (built in the 70s), but that's not the kind of place i'd call "intimate". This building has 15000 or 18000 seats (not sure), way bigger than some other venues on this tour. Yeah i know, the show was not sold out....but i'm sure it was awesome. I still kick my ass cause i took the decision to go to the Montreal show only...it was easier for me cause i live there, but Quebec city is my hometown and you can be sure that if the show had been on a weekend evening, i would have been in the crowd!!

    Anyways....i miss the Nordiques!

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

    Really? That's odd because we had no problem getting a poster tube into the show. The security guy even looked inside the tube and then said ok. But come to think of it, I didn't see any others...

    Anyway, it was a really great show! A few surprises - Sometimes, American In Me, Footsteps. The show was a little shorter than I would have liked but I can't complain because it was really high-energy and fun. Also, being in the FRONT ROW for the first time was pretty sweet! I took a butt-load of pictures and I'll get them up as soon as I can.

    I didn't see the mic stand go *through* the stage like some have claimed. Ed did slam it down pretty hard, but I think I was too close to see if it actually went through :)

    Some guy to the left of me got Ed's harmonica after Footsteps and someone to the right of me got an (intact!) tambourine that Jeff threw. Then, during Crazy Mary, Ed passed around his wine bottle along the front row. Just before it got to me, someone drained the last of it. So, I just managed to hold it for a few seconds trying to read the gold writing all over the bottle. But, then security quickly snatched the bottle away from me before I had a chance to really make anything of it. They were pretty intent on getting that bottle back out the crowd. Damn! I was really hoping I could keep it.

    All in all, a great night and my third show so far on this tour. It still can't top Ottawa (of which we were listening to on the way to and from QC).

    Another thing worth mentioning is that we stayed in old Quebec and it is definitely one of the most beautiful cities in Canada. I just wish I had more time to stay and check it out, but I'll be back for sure.

    What a great show!! I was third row CENTER, clear view!! It was just awesome!! best show of the 9 I have seen in the past few years!!

    The crowd was loud, Eddie seems very happy to be there. He said that they had the chance to see a bit of the city under the rain today and it was very beautiful! He was moving alot tonight, went to see a couple of times the people a little bit behind the stage...

    Mike was on fire as always, Jeff was very into it at the end, jumping and turning around on himself!! At one point he broke a string, gave it to his tech and came back to the mike without his bass and start singing and jumping and dancing!! He was sooo funny!! It was the first time that I have the chance to see Jeff in such a good mood!!
    And Stone, well...it was Stone pure and simple!!Oh and he cut his bearb off!;)

    It was just the perfect night:) First I got the last green hoodie at the stand i went, and my friend got the other last one and the other stand :D Then we got to our seats, and it was just unbeleivebly close to the stage!!! I was just out of my mind!! Best seats i ever got and im #159xxx. THANX TEN CLUB!!!

    The show was a little short, but very powerfull:)

    AND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Today, i met Mike in the street near the Chateau Frontenac!:) He was very nice, we took a pic with him and we shakes his hand:)

    What a great way to end this little 3 shows tour for me:)

    Thank you Pearl Jam!:)

    Crois moi. Après avoir vécu le spectacle à Montréal dans la 29ième rangée dans l'amphithéatre gigantesque du Centre Bell, j'trouvais que c'était pas mal plus intimiste au colisée dans la 7ième rangée et dans une salle visiblement pas mal plus petite.

    9th row center here (me and my daughter) - wow. I am so high from this. Never been that close. Someone posted not that many 10 club members there, but I think we made up with enthusiasm, what we might have lacked in quantity - lots of energy on the floor. From what people are writing, it looks like many of us on the floor either hadn't been on the floor or hadn't been this close before, which was certainly going to make for a pumped up floor crowd. I wanted to make the most of every minute! And what a set list. Dead Man Walking, Footsteps, (opened with Sometimes), American in Me, Blood (probably my favorite Pj song ever), nice to hear Fuckin Up, haven't heard it this tour. It was a long drive for us - we drove from Toronto, which meant we had to get up and get ourselves on the road by 8:30am to make it, but it was so worth it. Ed was so funny talking about staying up late - he didn't act tired!

    All I can say is thank you Pearl Jam, and thank you Ten Club. And because of PJ I got to check out Quebec City - what a nice place.

    2nd row (BB) seats 33 and 34 tonight... cool surprise.

    This show had a better energy than the one in Montreal... but then again... i'm not sure...

    This Quebec city show was special... seeing all those quebequers in front with me!!
    1 thing to mention... just in front of me was a guy that had a bigger 10C number than me... (!?) that was strange... but then again the guy at the ticket boot was so out of it!

    So here it is: At our left (seats 31 or 32, BB) was a guy taking pictures... my buddy talked to him and said he'd give us is photos... but i seem to have lost is e-mail... If you see this message e-mail me trough this forum!!! My buddy was the long haired blonde guy... I had a Rizzla black t-shirt...

    Thanks to you and thanks to PJ for another amazing show!!!

    P.S.: Highlights?... Insignificance... Rearviewmirror... footsteps.. and the guy in front of me having the wine bottle in is hands for about 3 seconds...

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


    Nevermind her. I was the one who drove her, and we got back in about 7 1/2 hours, including stopping for lunch. She was thinking 9 hours because the trip on the way up was 9 hours in total (as predicted by Mapquest) since we stayed in Burlington, VT monday night.

    actually it was about 4 hours to Burlington and 4 hours to QC.

    whatever...

    only disappointment of this show is not having the chance to meet you guys, hope you enjoy your stay :)

    Damn, I wish they had played this setlist at one of the shows that I went to! Hell, I wish I had gone to this show, cause it looks like I would had great seats too!
    Man, I saw 4 shows, and all I wanted to hear was Footsteps! Lucky bastards (in the nicest possible way)!!!
    Plus you guys got Sometimes, Faithfull (I did see this one in Kitchener, aweseome eh?), The Amerikan in Me, State of Love and Trust (damn!), and Fuckin' Up...I really am jealous!
    I'm sure it was an amazing night. So many damn boots to buy now, so little money...

    Peace

    Hey....nice picture of you guys with Mikey. :)

    So the band spent the day following the show in Québec City, then? Visiting, perhaps.
