    Dude were in the back of section 100 with your lady? I recognized you from the picture thread I think. Yelled "Zoso" a couple times but I guess you didn't hear me.

    Anyway, I completely agree. Absolutely an amazing show! "Hard to Imagine" opener I nearly jacked off to that one. Some cool stuff that was yet to be played this tour including "U", "Rats", and "Leash"! Those were all awesome. "Rats" is one I was really hoping for too. "In Hiding" was crazy load! "Porch" was just sick with a very nice jam session and Ed motioning like he was going to jump into the crowd at one point. He actually kind of stood in the crowd toward the end of "Porch". "Light Years" was dedicated to Tim Russert and Ed again mentioned Luke Russert and how they've become friends.

    Overall a fucking intense show and Ed was clearly in a great mood as were the rest of the boys. Can't wait until tomorrow night but I don't know how they're going to top this one. Hope to hear "WMA" and maybe a "Release" opener!

    That's all for now. Thanks for an amazing night of music Pearl Jam and thanks for the tickets 10c! Peace all.

    great show wasn't it!! PM is headed your way.
    I'm just flying around the other side of the world to say I love you

    Still spacey after last night's show! What a great show! Nice to see some rarities and the Love Reign O'er Me was supurb. I loved the Who You Are (first time I'd seen that one, too). The Crazy Mary was crazy!!! Seeing Mike and Boom play off of each other was amazing. Really no complaints whatsoever and the weather was great. I flew all the way from Sacramento, California for these shows and so far, so good! I have 10c tix for tonight so I'm looking forward to that. Unfortunately, I was up on the lawn last night. We got there early (in time for the opening act) just to stake out a good spot in the middle up front. Good spot as far as the lawn is concerned, but there was some jackass who thought nobody would notice if he took a piss in the middle of the crowd. Guess he didn't want to miss Even Flow! Everybody gave him the "asshole" chant (and nobody gives a better "asshole" chant then the Philly crowds!). Except for that jerk, all was well. Getting out of the Camden parking lots was hell! But looking forward to tonight's show! Enjoy!
    Rock on!

    Amazing show; one of the better ones I have been to. I knew with Hard to Imagine opening it would be a good night. Light Years, although not my favorite song, was beautiful. By the way, I got an extra poster if anyone wants to make a trade for one of the MSG, Hartford, or Mansfield later down the line let me know. Great Klausen.

    It was truly an awesome show. But of course I have my complaints. How on earth is it possible that it took over an hour just to get from the parking lot to the friggin bridge? Is it better to drive or take the ferry? I'm trying to decide for tonight - upside to Ferry is you don't waste gas sitting in traffic, down side is you have to stand while you're waiting for the ferry...how long do you have to wait, though?

    I keep hearing about how great the crowd was, but I thought they were pretty lame. The band's set was over and hundreds of people sat down, entitled to an encore. It was ridiculous. No cheers, no screaming, no clapping, not even the slightest effort. AND THIS WAS IN THE 10C Section in the front. SERIOUSLY? You guys suck.

    I also really am not digging the lottery for the 9th and 10th rows at least. I saw at least 2 people in row 10 sitting and trying to sleep during the show. Most of the people in 9 and 10 looked like they barely knew who PJ were. They were not as into it as I think anyone lucky enough to get bumped forward a million rows should be, but that's just my opinion.

    I'm also bitter that I get pushed back a few rows for people who don't seem to appreciate their "prize". I get the lottery for rows 1 & 2 (which I'm not sure is blind - has anyone with a super low 10C number won one of those seats, yet?), but give rows 9 & 10 back to us! And don't sell them for $2K to line someone's pockets, either.

    The thing about Pearl Jam encores is that they've bcome extremely trite. They leave after about an 1:15 of playing when we know that we're going to get 10 more songs. There's no use cheering for them to return when you know that there is still half the show to be played. Thery're not legit encores in the sense that you're begging them to keep performing. Pearl Jam encores for me have come to be just a time for the band and everyone else to take a breather and rest it out, nothing more. A Pearl Jam show is a grueling process!

    The show last night was amazing...but I will say the first encore really put it over the top. It may not be rarities everyone is looking for (is Leash still considered a rarity? They played it two years ago in Camden and a lot on that tour so that is up for debate) - but the 5 song string of Reign O'er Me, Betterman, State of Love and Trust, Black, and Leash was absolutely amazing and there is nothing wrong with any of those songs...I have been to a lot of shows and I have not seen an encore with that kind of list (State College 03 comes to mind) - I cannot wait to see how they top it tonight. But an amazing show.

    That is a helluva set list. Why couldn't they have mixed it up a bit more in July 2006 in San Fran during the 3 night stand? I mean they were all excellent shows, but not as diverse as this East Coast jaunt.

    we took the ferry last night for the first time. getting there was great-no issues. the way home was another story. there was a line of over a thousand people trying to get back on that thing and people are drunk, cutting in line, just a mess. and there is only one ferry. it gets over the river in just 5 minutes but there is loading and unloading of people. we stood in line for over an hour (after screaming and jumping around for 2.5) so it was hell, really. but driving is just as bad because of the traffic and how poorly designed the lots are - basically, camden blows in so many ways.

    they need to play THE MANN! REM and Death Cab were there this week past so they're starting to get other shows there besides the orchestra. really hoping for that next time around.

    great show!

    I feel you, I was singing along ... at least the "no more" part and getting looks from people around me... i said, "come on!" and they laughed and looked the other way... whatever though, it was an amazing show

    The BEST Camden show ever! Ironically, these were the worst seats we've ever had but the show was sick! The weather couldn't have been better (HF! the moon over the lawn!) and the crowd was great. We were in sec 204 and crazy enough ended up sitting next to the same guy that we did 2 years ago back to back nights in Camden. Our section was so into the show and everyone was obviously enjoying themselves. Personal highlights were the piano intro, Ed's humor (esp into U), reing o'er me, who you are, leash, RATS!, porch and save it for later tagged on betterman (I can't get this out of my head lately so it was perfect) I knew going into the night it was going to be special and it was so much more! THANK YOU GUYS FOR AN INCREDIBLE EVENING-as always! I am out tonight hanging with my 14mth old but can't wait until DC!

    I hope tonight kicks ass for all those in attendance:)
    got a car...got some gas...oh let's get out of here-get out of here fast...
    I hope you get this message but your not home...I will be there in just a minute or so...
    I want to go but I want to go with you.

    I've had enough, said enough, felt enough. I'm fine, still in it.

    were you one of those 5,000 people who left early? YL closed.

    I bolted as soon as I heard Crazy Mary start up. Not only can I not stand Boom's part in that song, I had too long of a drive ahead of me and had to work today. The MSG shows will be a different story though.

    great show!

    sorry if i missed this in an earlier post here but i LOVED how much eddie was into the night. he was very talkative and funny as mentioned in other posts, but he also was all over the stage and OFF the stage!! during crazy mary he went to the end of the stage (mike's side) sat down with the bottle of wine and was just moving along with the music waving to the fans and gave the security guard the bottle of wine to give to the fans and then got up grabbing people's hands and "talking" to them. then during one of the last songs (porch maybe??) he actually jumped off the stage had the security help him up and STOOD in the crowd on top of them as the crowd held him up!!! this was just AMAZING!! by the way the best part of that was when eddie wanted get "down" the security guard grabbed him by the pants and flung him back to the stage. i think eddie even was stunned how strong that guy was!! but what a great time night 2 here we come!!


    SO true ... the whole band was in a great mood last night ... lots of inside jokes between them, they cracked up several times at something that Eddie or Matt would say...they were having a BLAST you could tell ... well, I mean, I could tell;...ya see, I WON THE FUCKING TICKET LOTTERY LAST NIGHT ... I was first row, dead center, one of those people you just mentioned that helped hold Eddie steady as he stood on the railing in front of our seats to sing PORCH!!
    I am truly sorry for the fans with REALLY LOW FAN CLUB NUMBERS who were DISPLACED for the likes of ME, with a measly 208xxx number, but SOMEBODY had to be displaced in order for such a system to live... I am truly sorry if this happened to you, because NOTHING sucks worse than a crappy seat at a Pearl Jam concert, EXCEPT A CRAPPY SEAT WHEN YOU HAVE AN AWESOMELY LOW FAN CLUB NUMBER ... but, if it makes you feel any better ... it was the BEST Pearl jam experience of my life ... show #21, exactly one year and one day after #20 which was at Wembley on 6/18/07 ... best fucking rock 'n' roll band on the planet!
    I was alone and far away when I heard the band start playing!

    ...I was always a DeadHead, but when I first heard Winston Rodney, aka the Burning Spear, sing, I became a SpearHead too!

    Different in which way?
    You mean if they play LBC you WON'T walk out?
    I bet you really dug LROM, or do you like 'Boom's part' in that song?
    Fuck, what if they play an ALL BOOM show?
    That would really suck ... than you'd have to walk out MUCH earlier.
    For your sake I hope you get all your favorite songs at MSG!
    rock on bro ... I'll be there with ya, but I'll be the obnoxious fuck yelling
    BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

    Amazing... I've been to only 4 shows, Jones Beach 96, MSG 98' (infamous redebut of Breath), Hershey 03' and This show in Camden was by far the best for me. Rats, Leash, HTI wow! Not to mention the long jams we've come to expect in Evenflow, Crazy Mary, Black, Porch... McCready owned the night as far as Im concerned. Evenflows ripping solo behind the head.... TIGHT! It was literally a religious experience for me, having followed the band since the Ten days. I cried during the solo outro of Black, it really moved me. You can say I was "Driven to tears" ;) A++++ show for me :)

    This was my first show since the lottery system and I noticed the first few rows really rocking more so than in the past I think this new system works in getting peple who treat the first rows as a once in a lifetime experience...

    no offense to those whove had them in the past but you just cant exect someone to be as excited when its their 25th time and ther'll be a 26th than someones first and probably last!!!
