    I wasn't there, but I'd have no problem with that.

    I was pretty surprised myself at the amount of repeats. Especially on songs like All Night, WMA, Who You Are, Why Go, Miracles, and fucking No More. Damn, I couldn't believe he was gonna play that song again... Please, no more, No More.

    He did that as a tribute to Tomas Young, who apparently is having a rough time. Regardless of how I feel about the song itself, I think it's touching that Ed would care enough to do that.

    I also have no problem with the repeats. Had a great time with great people all around me both nights.

    I would have replaced one with "Black," but I know that should go without saying.

    Two rocking shows though, and it's hard to not want to make the trip up to Mass.

    yeah that was my beef with camden 2. there were 7 repeats and i was shocked. it's just not pearl jam, usually they play a lot of different songs on a 2 night stand. you think they are losing their mind? can't remember what they played the last night. oh well, i still love going. i have to say though the msg shows seemed kinda lackluster. i mean i am sure they were really good and really energetic but i was hoping for some crazy ass stuff busted out or maybe even like a full album busted out from the first to last track.

    While that is nice, and touching, its still a concert, and the song isn't great, and they played it the night before.

    Anyways, I feel like I'm complaining too much. I thought both shows were fuckin' rockin.

    it was too much. the trio of songs featuring the guest singers might have made sense if they are NYC based but otherwise I didnt need Alive, Evenflow, No More, GTF, and DtE again.
    But I guess I had my heart set for more.

    The setlists are similar because not everyone goes to both shows. They gotta play the hits. Any other band and 23 songs would have been repeated.

    You guys are spoiled.

    Thoughts?

    I guess it would depend on how many of the 20,000 people at the concert were at night 1. I guess the 11 repeats means about 19 were songs not played the night before?

    I'm really surprised that so many people dislike no more...
    What's the problem ? the lyrics ? the song itself ?

    I personally really love it...

    Every time a topic like this comes up, this post should just be put into the thread and left there with no further posts. What band doesn't play any of the same songs each night? A lot of people can only go to one show, and they might want to hear some of the songs the band is most known for.

    I'll repeat it: Almost any other band and 23 out of 27 songs would have been repeated.

    11 repeats: no big deal

    BUT

    many of the repeats were "rarities" that the casual fan that only attends one show, would not know.... so what is the point of playing them both nights?

    If it was 11 radio singles I would understand... BUT ALL NIGHT EVERY NIGHT DOENSN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.

    Pretty common for a folksy protest song. Patriot isn't exactly the most complex composition of all time, either.

    Exactly, take a look at STP's setlists from the current tour some time. They play the exact same set, in the exact same order, every single night.

    I have to agree with this. I go to a PJ show with the attitude that if they play 2 or 3 of my favorites and the crowd energy is good I had a great time. Because there are very few PJ songs I dislike.

    Plus last night, MSG2, Was my 15 year old son's 1st PJ show and he was completely blown away. He's been going to concerts (Mostly shows in clubs) for about 4 years so he's probably seen about 30 shows, but he was completely amazed.

    Plus, no other band, besides Springsteen, plays 3 hour shows. I look at every PJ show as a gift, and savor it.

    Was I surprised there were 11 songs repeated? Yeah.
    Would I have preferred to hear a few different songs Night 2? Sure.

    But fuck, I ain't complaining. Those were two of the best nights of my life.

    Don't want to hear the same songs 2 nights in a row? Don't go to see the same band 2 nights in a row. Problem solved. You're welcome.

    I think I was more bummed that those repeat songs took time up that other songs could have been played.......really surprised there was no Black, Once or Footsteps either night.

    I think this band really has spoiled me though with it's unique sets over the years.
    My lips are shaking.......
