dude, what are you talking about? why are you even posting in this MSG thread if you weren't even there? relevant? relevant to what? we're talking about CONCERTS. and going on your logic, I would say Mike McCready taking a lead vocal for the first time in PJ history with Ace Frehely on guitar is new/rare, and thus "relevant." And also, a long way from '98? well, they deemed the 2003 show to be good enough for a DVD so that doesn't even make sense.

you take way too much pride in just living in Boston. "Pearl Jam played almost their entire cataloge in Boston in 2003!" "Tom Brady won 3 Super Bowls!!" Both of these statements are true. and that's because Pearl Jam and Tom Brady are great at what they do. BUT YOU DON'T DO ANYTHING!!! all you do is post about what THEY DO on the internet.

you won't respond. you never do...you fucking toolbox.

GOD I LOVE US!!!! You are 100% correct and right about uncle tool box over there whatever his name is... BOSTON will be great again tho this year I would assume... but can it be MSG??? Boston o6 was pretty amazing first show eddie called us best crowd since south america... 2nd show was the LEASH show along with PARACHUTEs SOLAT... indifference... man what a show that was also

One negative thing I will say -- I thought it was odd that a lot of guys thought it was cool to go to the shows in their office clothes. I saw guys in the beer line wearing slacks and dress shirts and texting on their Blackberries. Really bizarre for a PJ show. I'm sure these guys didn't know any songs that came out after '95 and just went so they could brag about it the next day. Kind of pisses me off when I think of all the real fans who were practically begging for an extra ticket around the box office.

true... but i think that happens at any show... and i think the rest of us made it clear... very clear to the band what type of crowd was there!

Hey anyone know what hotel the band stayed at??? i just got home, was in town for shows since tue afternoon couldnt find anyone or anything out and i was at the SOHO GRAND

LMAO. Priceless and very well said. Good point about Black Diamond too, I was staring in disbelief when Mike sang and I thought it was probably the first time ever. If that doesn't count as a rarity, I guess some people will never be happy.

I'm sure the Boston show ill be great. All PJ shows are great. but yeah that guy thinks that if Eddie says it's a great show or if they play some rarity, then Boston is on top of the world and thus, so is he.

that was really an odd sight to behold. him playing the opening chords and singing with no other accompaniment. It was the rest of the song that really rocked though.

on the way to my car, I actually walked by Ace while he was coming out of the building and was being led to his ride. I said, "Ace, you're the man." He sort of gave me the "I was sort of hoping to get from the building to the street without being recognized" look because then others noticed it was him. oh well. either way, it was sweet that he played with them.

Amazing show. I just wish they did less doubling up. Although everything they re-played I thought was better tonight. Just imagine how much better the set would have been if they replaced all the repeats with other stuff. I feel like there were some technical problems the first night and they wanted to show they could really rock those songs.

I thought both shows were incredible though. I wish every concert was as good as these two were. Just wonderful.

Guys lets put this in perspective... even flow alive why who you are wma given to fly evolution no more... thats 8 out of 30songs they repeated... you know your gettin no more every show this tour... not my fave it isw hat it is, it has a point...t hey are playin WMA and WHO YOU ARE for first time in years and they have re worked the endf of the each song to make it better for us... Even flow needs no explanation... mike/matt solo's- ALIVE is just crazy at the solo, how cant they play that?? THAT LEAVE Evolution and given to fly... which i agree they could swap those out but both nights EVOLUTION go tthe floor shaking and the crowd response for GTF is amazing... so i cant knowck the repeats... i will say that for me... NO BLACK, BABA or ROCKIN... kind of hurt but thats what hartford and boston are for!

I just feel like if they ended with BABA after Indifference, that may have made it the greatest PJ SHOW ever...

ragejoe · June 2008

Just curious.. ANYONE IN SECTION 6 ROW K either night? thats where i was both nights... wonderin if i saw any of you guys

Ok, I don't usually post on here much, but I feel the need to address this because I'm sick and tired of whiny fans. You're one of them, so here goes...

I've been to MANY shows (over 25), including some of the more legendary shows (Randalls Island I and II, State College, MSG I and II 1998, etc, etc.) and last night's show is in my personal top 5.

Amazing show. The crowd was fantastic (this is coming from a Philly guy who can't stand New Yorkers in general). The people around me were rocking out and were cool as sh*t. I don't need to hear Brother or Dirty Frank at a show to make it a memorable experience. For me, it is all about the energy from the band and the crowd. With the number of shows that I've been to, I've already heard most of the old and new songs live anyway. With that said, Pearl Jam brought the house down last night.

If you're never been to a PJ show at MSG, you're seriously missing out. It is most definitely "relevant" and PJ brings it "A" game every time.

UBEILIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this was my 5th show and it topped everything else the highlight was hearing RATS , and INSIDE JOB as encore so depressed i might not get the chance to see them again on this tour but these 2 GARDEN shows were amazing

AwesomeWill · June 2008

I was kind of disappointed by the setlist. No Daughter, no Black, no Jeremy? Among others, but those three really stick out.

And the stars weren't only spotted onstage - the Olsen Twins, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon were among the fans who caught the two New York shows.

I hope Chris Martin was taking notes!

You have to remember, this is New York and that is the basic business uniform for work here. You have to make a living and New York is the business capital of the world. They came right from work and that is what they wore to work that day, what can you do? I am not sure how you can tell what someone knows, thinks or likes by the clothes they wear.

I work for a large corporation myself, so I'm not knocking them for being professionals. I'm saying, pack a pair of shorts and a t-shirt and change in the men's room before the show. The business attire is kind of an arrogant statement and is a pretty obvious indication that they were not big fans. For night 1 I was in the 300s and I saw a couple of these douchebags who were dragged there by their wives sitting down looking bored. Just pathetic.

row K as in row 9 or 10? Sounds like you won the lottery. or at least a realy awesome 2nd prize in the lottery.

Yeah, I meant to type 'row K on the floor'. Was so happy and excited when I realised that's where we would be. Of course I would have enjoyed every moment wherever we were (was in section 410 for night I and had a great time) but getting to be that close...like I said it was more than I dared hope for! Still smiling!
