    ed's voice got weak and i thought he was crying as he sang a few lines of "it's ok" after black. i don't see that on the official set list, only black.

    I noticed that too. He didn't go into it all..he just went 'It's ok, it's ok, it's ok, it's ok, it's ok, I'll love you forever.....forever."

    Wasn't it the "we Belong Together" tag. I noticed him wiping his face afterwards too, kind of an emotional ending to the song.

    It was beautiful. The crowd was in awe. Then he hugged Stone! Then hearing the opening chords to Alive...my heart skipped a beat.

    I've been to quite a few shows, thought I would never see a 'Burgh show better than my first in 98, but the band and crowd blew me away on this one. Absolutely amazing! Black was completely moving & gorgeous & I cried too during the tag, also a lovely Daughter tag, first Marker in the Sand for me this tour, best Porch I've ever heard, a most unexpected Smile.... and Rockin in the Free World on fire!! (I have so much love for Stone...so much love.)

    So Ed said Pittsburgh wasn't one of their favorite places... he DID say it was one of their favorite places to play. I actually laughed when he said that and he looked around with a pause before saying the rest, what a joker. The band seemed in excellent spirits, looked like everyone was having fun, I loved every song and dear god they sounded great!

    Feels like I'm waiting forever for the boot. Can't wait to relive this one.

    Yeah no way... I was at Rutherford I and the crowd wasn't anywhere near the Pittsburgh crowd... not to mention the State College crowd back in 03... must be a PSU thing :)

    ANd yeah... the clapping during RITFW was rediculous... my hands were bright red!

    Now my question is... with the .flac files... if I d/l those instead of the mp3z, will I be able to play then in winamp AND my car stereo (which is an mp3 headunit) without any problems? And is the audio quality really any better?

    the state college crowd was the worst crowd i've ever seen at a pj show. i was all the way in the back and saw everyone during the whole show. pnc park was better crowd wise. i'd say at least 30% of the audience was sitting during state college. they didn't get into it until they said it would be their longest show ever.

    You must have been in a big downer seat then, 'cause where I was everyone was goin' nuts the entire show. Of course I went with 4 other huge PJ fans, so maybe our energy was spreadin' throughout our entire section. :) Moral: More people should go to PJ shows with ME. haha

    no i was all the way in the back, right where u go in to go down to your seats, they had about 6 seats before the stairs. i saw everyone the whole time. the crowd was really really really bad. don't get me wrong there were some people going nuts as always, but as a whole, by far the worst crowd i've ever seen at a pearl jam show.

    Speaking of the boot, we're getting close to the 48 hour mark and still no sign... I wonder where it is...
    I smile, but who am I kidding...

    Nice nice show. Highlights for me were preset Throw Your Arms Around Me - Ed's voice was SO clear and it was beautiful! Smile - my first time hearing it, in 21 shows! The unexpected Waiting on a Friend - very cool, then Man of the Hour; Comatose continues to be a favorite live, and Severed Hand and WWS. In Hiding AGAIN! :D RITW was really energetic. I said so in another thread, but Black was so heartfelt, and the words of the tag and how Ed was during the tag really made me wonder if he was thinking about Johnny then.... words like apart forever.... I liked Robert Pollard - I'd never heard any of his stuff before. I don't want this to have been my last show of the tour, but it most likely is, so I'll have to live vicariously through everyone else's show posts now.

    The show was amazing, by far my best seats (row J/10th row left center)! they definately were in the zone that night. its great when things click and they are all in the zone and feeling the music. The crowd was great too, as a fan for 14 years it makes me feel great when Im surrounded by fans that appreciate the band as much as I do and sing as loud as they can and rock out with such excitement it feels like family. When the band gets there and the crowd is there with them, its very spiritual. Keep kickin ass!

    I had a great time at the show...good setlist and all..but I must say I was disappointed with the city..I'm from ottawa which is a fairly big city with about 1 million people but Pittsburgh's nightlife and just "things to do" kinda sucks...seemed pretty lame for some reason...but whatever..the show was great as always..
    Not sure why but Pittsburgh seemed like a a city with nice big buildings with hardly anyone living there?..weird? maybe it's just me but seemed like a hick town...lol

    In the city "proper" there is nothing to do at night. Basically it closes by 8pm at the latest. With the exception of the Strip. Other than that you have to go to the South Side, Oakland or out to the suburbs for any kind of nightlife. I have never even felt safe Downtown after 7pm.
    PJ FANS ROCK!!!

    Finally got that "One for the Thumb"!!! Got the "Six Pack". Now we're on a "Stairway to Seven"

    Some words when spoken...can't be taken back.

    Yeah I know..the thing is we did go to the "South side" and it kinda really sucked...lol...I live in a suburb of Ottawa and it's more happening than there...lol....anyways no biggie..had a good time at the show...
    One thing I should say though...I felt safe in Pittsburgh...not as much crime as back home !
