    I agree completely - going into the show i wasn't sure if i wanted to hear it because it seems like such a difficult song to pull off but, it turned out to be one of the highlights of the night
    9/1/2000 - E-Centre, Camden, 'Sometimes' started and I was hooked...

    Magical first concert ever in the States!!! We've seen PJ many times before in Europe since '93 but this is simply great!! Unforgettable.

    We were blown away by the tailgate party really. That's something else. All that glass afterwards too!

    While sitting on a bench overviewing the Philly skyline and the battleship in such nice weather, we were presented a very nice bonus: the soundcheck!
    Rats, U, several times the beginning of drop the leash, nothing as it seems, love boat captain (Ed forgot the lyrics..), Rats! This was heaven on earth, you know. Over there we met some fine young men who invited us for a drink at the parkinglot. Thanks Dustin & Brad for the very nice times before the show started.

    Simply AMAZING that venue...did anybody see that beautiful moon come up while PJ was playing?!

    Blown away by the setlist...Hard to Imagine...WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
    We heard Rats in Dusseldorf last year and it was great hearing it again!

    What else can I say....agree with the shark mentality of the security....
    But that didn't bother me...SO glad we had 3 more shows ahead of us....at that point!

    Awsone show. Awesome set list. Very special night for the fans and I think the band, too.
    I'm like an opening band for the sun.

    This night was incredible! As the only show of this tour I was going to be able to see, I had high, high hopes. Leading up to the show I found myself daydreaming about winning the lottery (I'm 331xxx), but figured it was stupid to hope because I "never win anything." Imagine my disbelief when I picked up my tickets with my wife and the first thing I saw as I opened the envelope was "PIT 3". 3rd row Stone's side!!!

    Seeing the band up close was an entire new, mindblowing experience. Thank you 10 Club! I was mesmorized the whole night - my wife and I were not able to wipe the smiles off our faces. I LOVED the setlist! Personal favorites were Hard to Imagine, In Hiding, Light Years dedicated to Tim Russert (performed with so much emotion), Grievance, Rats, Love Reign (absolutely searing), and Porch (with Ed climbing a few rows into the crowd on Mike's side). Ed repeatedly coming over to our side to point and wave was awesome. I loved the little things he would do - like shake his head at anyone watching him during Mike's Even Flow solo and point at Mike, like "watch HIM you idiots, not me!." Ed seemed to be in such a great mood all night, repeatedly saying how perfect the night was going. Man, I would give anything to go back in time and experience it all again - it was honestly one of the most fun nights of my life.

    Not even getting out of the crazy Camden parking lots could dampen my mood!

    Best band in the world! Peace.

    I guess better late than never~

    Life has been busy, and I haven't said thank you for an amazing show yet.
    Ten Club, thanks for the great seats, row A (3rd row), stage left. A bit of a weird angle but great non-the-less. The energy, the weather, the entire vibe that night was magical. I do believe Ed even commented on it, everyone could feel it, from the first chord of Hard to Imagine, to the last of Ledbetter.
    (why does my heart sink every time I hear those beginning chords anymore? I suppose it means the evening has come to an end)


    Got to hear a bit of the soundcheck, never got to experience that before. My friend and I were like little kids with our heads tipped into the gates, whispering and smiling so we wouldn't miss a note.
    and yes, I did hear a little bit of the melody coming from someone's guitar to the Moon Song. ::faint:: ;)

    Hearing U for the first time was fantastic, and when boom-boom played the first note of Love, Reign O'er Me, chills ran up my entire body. I've had the privilege of seeing The Who play that twice, one of my favorite all time songs over anything else, and Pearl Jam, you do it justice. I do believe you guys are most likely the only ones who could pull it off, and that's coming from a diehard Who fan of 32 years.
    Fuck, it was perfect.


    Got to purchase new PJ socks, new styles, nice and plush for the winter-time! :D
    I was able to hang out with wonderful people that afternoon and evening.
    Every one of us there, ready for a kick ass show and we weren't let down, (as usual).
    From the bottom of my heart, thank you for still making great music after all of these years.

    ....and then the following week it was off to NY for MSG 2...... :D:)

    well that is easily my favorite set of the tour, too bad they didnt play that at Va beach! god damnit Ive been to 3 shows now and no black im dieing to hear that live. If night 2 is better id be so surprised that is such a great set. I was debating buying just some of the boots or all of them but after seeing all of these setlists i think i have to buy them all.

    Much agreed! Buying the entire set is well worth it after checking out all of the other shows. Camden night I was amazing! LROM nearly brought the house down. I'm getting goose bumps just remembering it!
    Once divided nothing left to subtract

    I let go of the rope thinking that's what held me back

    Hear the crowd too!!!

    One thing bout the seating:
    Although I was VERY happy to be there, our seats row B in section 104 on the very left had a very bad view on stage.....and bad sound.

    Thank you so much for sharing this! This was the song that night that made me have tears streaming down my cheeks.

    I was in the same section row A, weird angle wasn't it? we were more in the middle-ish of the row thank goodness...

    we couldn't stay for Ted Leo, (and we really tried), but with the wall of amps hanging in front of us, we thought our ears and neck were going to explode...they were way too loud. I didn't mind PJ's sound, it was so much better than the pharmacists.
