People who are lucky enough to have seen pearl jam or any great band "150 Times" should take more time being thankful instead of complaining over 1 "off show". I've only been able to see pearl jam 5 Times and I'll never forget how lucky I am

I think that was BS anyways, I can't imagine someone seeing PJ 150 times and then spouting off like a spoiled child in such a petulant fit.

People don't have to love everything Pearl Jam does, and I'm of the opinion that the Raleigh cancellation was a bad idea, from a political activism standpoint. But it's just rude to boo people -- any people -- on a stage. It's a really vulnerable place to be, no matter how many shows you have under your belt. Here was Eddie trying to apologize, and instead of forgiveness, he got a fuck you. I don't like that.

So the only time you can voice an opinion at a Pearl Jam concert is only if you agree with what they are saying? If you disagree, stay silent?

Yes! It wasn't a discussion! When you're at the podium, speak, when someone asks, answer, otherwise pls show some respect, in my opinion.

IMHO EV can say whatever the eff he wants, whenever the eff he wants.
As part of the mob, you're either into it, or not. you can respond accordingly

carry on

Being able to attend and afford 150 shows over 20 years is absolutely a lot! And it is a commitment but its not like your committing to some noble cause, so it most definitely is luck to spend time in such a fashion

I would have taken the "burden" an made the "commitment" to see all those shows in a second-had I been LUCKY enough to do so , but other commitments like family,health, and money prohibited that largely.Im not unlucky, just reasonable unfortunately

I don't agree with that logic. You may be jealous that someone has seen 150 shows but its not luck. It takes money and planning and sacrifice.

Any ways sorry for "ranting" on a fanview forum, we're all lucky and we all make commitments & sacrifices, no disrespect for anyone's opinions, May we all keep perspective in mind

Columbia crowd was off the hook. People were doing the Wave before the show, and I don't mean some half-assed attempt but the whole goddamn arena was getting into it. I haven't see the Wave at a baseball game in two decades and here it was going on before a concert! It went around the arena a good 8-10 times.

I also want to give a shout out to the tall guy in the tie-dye No Code shirt in fan club section 113 Row 14, dude rocked out harder than anyone I've seen in a long time. I didn't see him drink or inhale anything all night, he was just high on PJ. I had to acknowledge him after the show, and he said it was his 16th show, and it was the best show he's seen. I wouldn't disagree!

I took a friend to her first show. She now loves Footsteps and Immortality, and keeps asking me to send her more songs!

Columbia was a fun place to road trip to. I look forward to the next show there. Sometimes the small town shows are better than the big city gigs!

I forgot about the pre-show wave! You're right...it wasn't some half-ass wave with a couple of sections participating. It was the whole venue, upper and lower levels, and the floor just seemed to get caught up in it all. The anticipation set the stage for an incredible amount of energy...the place was amped up. It was almost as if the boys waited backstage on purpose...just a tease...then opening slow with Oceans, Low Light, and Small Town, it was as if they were saying calm down, pace yourselves, buckle up, then BAM with Animal!! Great show indeed.
