how does the crowd sound on the bootleg? I heard it wasn't that loud, hope that's not true.

The boot doesn't give the crowd noise its due considering how f'in loud it was the entire show but overall it sounds incredible, much better than some of the other boots from the tour I've heard on the radio.

That's kind of a bummer because the whole crowd was loud. They better have the Hartford crowd cranked up.

You certainly can hear the crowd but it's impossible to duplicate it on a boot especially when you want to be able to hear the music. It was the best crowd at any show I've ever been to for sure.

I hadn't gotten to see them live since the show in the rain at Randall's Island. Is it me or do they sound even better now than perhaps in year's past?

Was this the best tour in years?

They left the door open for more shows in the states in 2014 so hopefully when Ed said "See you next year" he meant they'll be back in NYC.

I hate this new delivery system. The only innovating thing about them is they're the slowest delivery system I've ever come across in the United States. I just want my boot!

I took a friend with me to the show and she happens to work at NBC studios. The week following this show was Pearl Jam week on Jimmy Fallon. On Thursday I get a text of a photo of my friend with Eddie, his arm wrapped around her. Turns out he chatted with her for 10 minutes or so and she mentioned that I took her to the show and was a huge fan. He tells her to hold on, goes into their rehearsal room and hands her a pick to give to me. Just got the pick and the whole story of their encounter yesterday. How many artists these days would take half a second out of their way to do any of this?

I brought a lady friend to 2nd show in Brooklyn. It was her 1st and my 2nd pj show (1st was 2010 in Hartford). She complained about seats around section 230 behind stage in nose bleed section. She stayed at bottom of staircase with 2 other guys the entire night. If it wasn't for a die hard pj fan from Long Island named Nicole, my night would have been horrible. Nicole had been to several pj shows (2nd of at least 3 on this tour). She cheered me up greatly singing, dancing and having a wonderful time enjoying the show. At one point, after I told her how rude it was for this woman to leave me alone after I paid for ticket, hotel and travel expenses from Connecticut, she brought a smile to my face when she lifted my shirt up, motor boated my stomach and said "cheer up, it's a pearl jam show". I'm still smiling 4 months later. I hope her show in Philly was just as good for her. The following week in Hartford was epic. I'm saddened that I never had the chance to thank Nicole from Long Island. If you know Nicole from Long Island, thank her for being the best pearl jam fan in the world. :-) ps Did EV's singing voice climb up inside you yet and make musical babies lol.

So I'm going to leave a comment for each show and I'm listening to the entire tour (25 shows)...
In order....which I've never attempted before....
I'm going to jam each show a minimum of 2 times in its entirety before I move on to the next show...
As I'm jammin' to them I make notes on the cardboard/paper cd covers, ie,..the vibe, sound, crowd,setlists, band members if they on fire,.etc etc...(actually been doing this since the 2000 tour with the cardboardpaper sleeves)...
I also refuse to look at the setlist before I play the show, a must for the magical Jam.... I get to take a road trip usually once a week or so with my job of which I get to jam PJ volumn full on the truck stereo and it's almost like being there....ehh... almost....
so I do my best to tune in and meditate and envision myself at the show and really really jam away...
I'm only getting thru about 2-3 shows a month so its going to take me some time to finish...

So far....just finished the first run of this Brooklyn 2 show and sorry fellas but its the best of the tour so far...
I know there are some goodies coming up as I checked the set lists back when they came out....but haven't looked since...
(yep, I am excited for charlottsville...)...

Peace, love, family and PJ.....Curly

PS....Footsteps, yellow moon, all those yesterdays, and Future Days....
(Brian F couldn't have picked this run better in Amsterdam)....

Almost a year later and still listen to the boot almost daily.

I'm traveling to Denver for Wednesday's show, if it's half as good as Brooklyn 2 I will be a happy camper.

One year later! This boot will blasted today. Incredible night.

I had this thought yesterday about night 1. It was weird I've never really thought of a show's anniversary before. I guess cuz it was recent enough that I still remembered the date? Idk.
