    This was my first PJ show and aside from really bad sound at times (like a delay in timing between the drums and the rest of the music which was explained to me as the speaker positioning at Wells Fargo), I don't think I could have created a better setlist myself. Amazing! My only regret is not discovering this whole PJ universe sooner. I am on the bus!

    Maybe it was where you were sitting?

    I had no sound issues where i was sitting.

    Can't wait for the Bootleg of this show.

    Definitely had everything to do with being behind the stage. I will never do that again. But that experience has fueled an obsession to go again and have an even more amazing experience from a better spot. Plotting and scheming Fenway now.
    First show 4-29-16!

    The greatest American rock band performed one of the greatest albums of all time and we witnessed it..... Thank you

    Same here. Philly 2 destroyed me for the rest of the tour. Screaming every word to 11 straight songs ,with no "Sirens" type song to take a break killed me.

    Different for me as i was behind the stage and the sound was fine for me. One of the best PJ experiences i've had. I'd sit behind the stage again, if i have no other choice( That's the ONLY ticket that i could get on the public sale, for this show, so i had no choice-LOL)

    To this day I still can't believe I was sitting just a few rows to the side of Mike McCready to witness both PJ and Rock and Roll history go down right before my eyes. Shout-out to the people of Comcast Spectacor for hooking me up with sweet seats. I know you're out there. Definitely a dream come true. Thank you!

    Best 2 shows I've ever seen have been in philly now. This one and the 3rd of 4 at the spectrum. I was joking around with my casual PJ fan friend that there were a lot of rumors the band was going to play the full vitalogy album. So we played it a bit on the way to the show-3 hour drive. I said to him, I hope they don't play vitalogy but I'd shit my pants if they did ten. After the10 banner and once started as a repeat opener I knew. Then evenflow!... it was happening. I loved that we knew exactly where that set list was going.And to see everyone so happy for evenflow!!! That was killer! I know a lot of fans use that as the bathroom break song, but no one left this time. Evenflooooooooow!

    Anyway after 10, my highlights were the second encore. Loved getting sonic reducer because I had it at philly 3 in 2009 and didn't really know it/appreciate it. So that was great. And it's only TEENAGE WASTELAND!!! Loved seeing the band embrace during the star spangled banner.

    Agreed. I sat behind the stage as it was the only ticket I could get but I enjoyed it and had no issue with sound. And had one of my best PJ experiences too. I had 10c seats in the lower level on night 1 and that would be my 1st choice but as a short guy I would take behind the stage over floor seats any day.

    Also I made friends with someone named Stephanie in sect 120 row 18. Hope you see this and can get in touch.

    I just ordered some older boots (from '13-'14 tour) and got an email saying they came directly from the manufacturer and would come separately from other items in my order. I got the impression they were kinda made-to-order

    Does anyone have any video of Daughter/Its okay/WMA or RVM from the 4/29 show?

    I was on the rail in on Stone's side. I got very dizzy and was extremely overcome with emotion when they played Daughter. Daughter is the song that first brought me to Pearl Jam. I know for many of you its not your favorite song, but the lyrics knocked me down the very first time I heard it back in the '90s. Hearing it that night after hearing all of Ten was amazing. I fainted at one point during Daughter. My husband was holding me up and worried, he didn't know what was happening to me and I wasn't really sure at the time either. I managed to pull myself together and someone gave me some water. It seemed like an eternity during that song, I kept saying I need some water and the security guy was taking forever to get me some water. Finally they gave me some water. I felt better, but I was still very dizzy. My husband kept saying he wanted me to go sit down and we should leave. I begged him to let us stay. I was trying so hard to pull myself together. I didn't want to leave and I didn't want my husband to have to miss the show either. And once you leave the rail, you can't really come back.

    Then they played RVM and I just don't remember a thing except the music rushing through me. RVM is one of my favorites songs. As a daily runner, I find myself listening to that song at least once during my 5 mile run each day. It just picks me up, helps me run faster and stronger.

    Well my night ended abruptly, I fainted a second time at the end of RVM and security had to lift me out of the pit and take me up to first aid room to finish listening to the show.

    I felt better by the end of the night, but the combination of no liquids after 1/2pm (stupid decision on my part) and jumping and dancing around took its toll on me and I was suffering from severe dehydration. I should note, I don't drink alcohol or do drugs, so my fainting was not from anything like that. I felt bad if I annoyed anyone around me, as I didn't want to ruin anyone's Pearl Jam concert experience. Despite the fact I missed the last encore, It was still the best show I've ever experienced.

    If anyone has any video of Daughter and RVM from that night, I'd be so grateful if you could post them as I was in a complete fog during those songs and don't remember.

    Thanks-

    I'm so glad to find your update! I was a few people down from you toward Stone and I saw them take you over the rail. I haven't watched the videos yet of "Daughter" but Eddie seemed to keep an eagle eye on what was going on with you while he sang. He always is concerned about the fans and their wellbeing. I can't wait for this boot to hit the 10 Club store so I can relive the entire night, but I'm glad you're OK and hope you have another chance on the rail!
