    Had to put in my two cents, this was my first pj show, and my 32nd birthday, and I can't imagine a better way to have spent it! I am having so much fun now rediscovering this band and it is all pearl jam, all the time in my headphones right now...thanks for an amazing show!

    I was in section 334, and did not sit down the whole night. There was a great crowd around me (and my friend). This was his first show, and he is nowhere near a die-hard fan, but he knew A LOT of the songs just from hearing me play them. He was feeling it, and i'm glad. It's all due to the fact that PJ puts on the best live show around.

    Everything has been said already, comparisons to Night 2, this and that... but their is no denyiing that this show was simply a fucking blast. The crowd was just really really into it, from start to finish. A previous poster said it best, and he said that "... it felt like 20,000 people knew the words to Down..."... or something along those lines... and I couldn't agree more. That was such a simple, and true way to put it.

    I think the anticipation of the first show at The Garden really added that extra something to the first night. Everyone went into this show knowing they were going to have an unforgettable time, and PJ did not disappoint!

    My personal favorites at Night 1:
    --Love Reign O'er Me (WOW...I'm so glad they played this!)
    --Present Tense
    --Faithfull

    .. well everything from Hard To Imagine to Indifference.

    Until '09 (Hopefully... please... please... please)

    I too was in Section 334 and I have to say I was surrounded by some great people. All those directly around me were up and singing from start to finish.

    By far the best PJ concert I've been to.

    Hey all - long time fan, very infrequent poster on here. Felt like I needed to contribute something in this case though. Was extremely lucky enough to score first row via the lottery for MSG 1 (Thanks 10C!!!).

    Was truly an amazing experience... and since I probably won't be that up close and personal again anytime soon... well, I took just a "few" pictures.

    Hope the below link works... I had just put them on ofoto to share with some friends. If I get some more time I'll also put them on flickr or one of the better photo sharing sites. Have some short video too that I'll try to get up by the end of the week.

    Hope there are a few that you enjoy.

    I made all the trip from Madrid to see PJ once again (well, twice again).
    So, I've been in the 2 MSG concerts. The 25June was my 10th PJ concert.
    I don't read much these threads anymore because after 2 pages all the comments are pretty much the same and I find no criticism at all. When I read that most of the people think in most of the PJ concerts that that was probably their best concert, the people amazing, the band amazing and so on I say: "Well...". I love PJ but this love hasn't removed my critic reasoning so far, I think...
    So, IMHO, the 24th concert was OK, good, but the 25th concert was excellent (almost 3 hours, a long and good setlist and a special atmosphere in the Garden...)
    I was behind the stage and I was so afraid of how I was going to like the concerts (in Europe they never sell these tickets). anyway, the sound was excellent, and the views of the group, OK, not so good as being on the floor, but OK.
    Very good organization. Everything very easy-going (compared to some concerts in Europe): no queues for entering, short queues for getting a beer, no queues for the WC, no crowded spaces, no moshing, no extra-drunk people bothering...
    So, in general very good, but next time I'll try to be on the floor again...

    Saludos

    Hi all,

    This show was my first PJ show. I just never got around to seeing them live and it took my gj getting ten club seats and planning a trip to nyc around it for me to go. Great freakin show! So very worth every penny. Seeing them live gave me a greater appreciation for their music that I didn't have before. I cannot wait to see Eddie live in Toronto on the 12th.

    My gf rocks. :) Thank you Sindy.
