*** Moline Fanviews Here 10/17/14 ***

Just watched Moline on U Tube WOW! :-O

I just pulled up Elderly on you tube..wow..if crowd was like that all night..awesome.

Took my daughter to her first show last night. Met a guy and his daughter from Canada that had great stories of past shows. Meeting them and a few other great people made the night perfect. No Code was crazy. Every time you think that's the best show ever those fuckers top themselves. Damn. I need tickets to Milwaukee. Thanks to nycrats for the nice trade. My daughter had a great time.

The crowd was fantastic. Had almost an MSG type of energy and volume in a much smaller venue. Ed said it felt like mushrooms coming on which I recall him saying at MSG when he could feel the stage shake. He probably says that a lot. But it really was an exceptional crowd.

Crazy!!!! Haven't been so impressed by a setlist... ever?

What's that comment about only a few more opportunities left about? Like on the tour? .... i tend to take comments like that cryptically. :-S

I interpreted that as just being that they were already in the first encore, so only a few songs left.
They still have to play Toronto in 2015, after all.

On the flight home, yeah ill say whats already been said countless times: fucking WOW. I am rarely satiated on pj at a live show and thats just me being greedy bc they always produce, but last night i just couldnt believe what was happening. Porch is ending and then we still had 2 encores after that? My head was spinning. I felt, and still do feel, like i was on some heavy drug(i wasnt). Just an amazing experience. My buddy and i joked earlier in the day that the previous nights sow in detroit was filled with local musical references and recognition of the city's accomplishments in sports, history and culture, well what were they gonna say about moline? Its not like quad cities is known for its popular musical history with some obvious covers pj could play to tribute . Well How about just drop no code start to finish and the make up a moline song.

Ill even out myself, i didnt realize what was going on at first. Ive heard sometimes, hail hail a few times before and i just love that 1-2 punch. Then was thinking who you are then in my tree, so cool to get those back to back, but embarassingly i didnt put 2 and 2 together to get 4. The guy behind me starts saying "here comes smile!" and in my head im like wtf is he going on about and then smile starts and i finally got it and my brain melted just a lot bit. Just love that album. Had ga floor and we were in the back of the pit by stone and just going nuts. Had tons of space to truly get down and enjoy. I did go pee during mankind, ive heard it before and while it makes me laugh a bit and tap my foot a little, hardly a favorite and used the opportunity. A lot of cool people in our area of the floor and pretty much everyone was ale to cross off around the bend off their lists. I agree with the comments that show had a fan club only vibe, everyone was into it and getting it (ok a few bros on the floor took like 1 or 14 too many selfies but they were having a good time and not really othering anyone).

Random notes, was at a table of old and newly made pj friends pre show and we all threw 10 bucks in the pot to guess the opener and i dinged it w small town. (pats self on back)

Ed seemed to take his gatorade wine bottle more last night than his wine-wine bottle where as detroit seemed the opposite.

And this is whacky but we walked in around 7:30 or so and went to where the ga line entrance was. I guess they shut that down and some point but we just kept looking for where we thought it was and eventually we were at the back of the arena where a bunch of people were smoking and just opened those doors and walked in. Granted we had tickets but we inadvertantly "snuck in" the venue.

Thanks pearl jam! Just the. Best. Fucking. Band.

My 10th show and with that special number, I was hoping for a special show and PJ delivered! The band brought their "A"game. The crowd had great energy and the band did too. Pre show I was looking for a rarity (Bee Girl, check), a bucket list song ( Brain of J, check) and some Stone singing (Mankind, check). Unbelievable! And for them to bust out front to back No Code, I was in awe. It brought back memories of waiting in line at Positively 4th Street Records in Charleston for the midnight sale of this album. And for someone who has a gap between live shows of 1995-2004, it was great to catch songs from tours I missed. God I loved this band.

Eiu!

Fuckin a man...glad to see them really mixing it up...challenging themselves...so awesome. Ive learned my lesson. I only went to memphis and i had the time and means to go to detroit and moline. I will add this to my list of shows i coulda shoulda went to and keep moving forward.

First PJ show ever, and it went way beyond my expectations! The band and the crowd were amazing. We were on Mike's side about 5 rows deep ... it was an unbelievable night! Thanks to Tony and Scott for their hospitality both in line and in the GA pit.

Lori from Rockford

yeah.... you're hooked.... next
