  • Pretty much agree with everything you said. In hiding at spectrum 3 may be the best version of that song. 

    Philly 05 may be the best setlist ever. 

    For some reason the 10 show for me isnt that high. Prob not in my top 10 shows 

    Is slow lukin overrated?  Do people like it bc its rare? You know whats better than slow lukin?

    fast LUKIN.  
    Agree w Lukin, disagree w the Ten show.  When you have the WHOLE arena singing every note it is something special.  I had always said that if I got to hear an album front to back it wouldn't be TEN.  I was wrong...  It was amazing.

    It got me a GA ticket to MSG the following show because a person was so upset that MSG wasn't where that was going to happen that they didn't want to go.  Their loss, my gain!

    100% the 10 show energy was off the charts. Guy next to me started crying when Alive started. Two guys behind me started crying when release started. A night I’ll never forget. 

    I can’t imagine sitting an arena while Riot Act is being played in full. Would be awful. A theater for 10c members only? Yea. Definitely

    Night 1 Once opener I thought they were going to do Ten, but obviously didn’t happen. Night 2 they open with Once and I think no way they would open with the same song unless it’s the full album. Even Flow hits and I was ecstatic. That night was special. Rest of the set was fantastic too, which was icing on the cake.

    That first night you heard Master/Slave and thought, OK?!?  Once hits and then.... Animal.  We all looked at each other and said "That's not on Ten?!?" lol.

    Exactly! We all knew after even flow but when alive started … oh man. I get chills just typing that.

    Totally surprised i had 2 empty seats to my right. Sec. 106 row 12, gave me more room to dance but still unbelievable especially at the prices being asked and an apparent sell out. 

    I have been fortunate to have attended every single MSG show from 98 on. This had all the energy to be expected, honestly i really can't compare the energy of all of them, so were notable stronger for different reasons, this one was special due to the 911 anniversary and the long wait to see them again. It was great to see the band back at it, they sounded tight. Still trying to get used to 23 song sets and wondering how they can keep it fresh when a lot of material needs replication to keep casual fans happy. NOT hearing Corduroy was a welcome surprise. I kind of felt for a few years they can rest that song a bit. 

    All in all a great show, probably not my top Garden show but they're really hard to rate.

    Looking forward to Camden.
    Those section 106 seats probably went unsold because someone had the brilliant idea to require a 6-month old presale code for last minutes ticket releases on TM…

    I haven’t been to as many shows, but I def think Night 1 2008 is underrated. Great crowd, great set. 

    I also think that this past show was top half of all my shows in terms of energy, but bottom in terms of set. It was amazing to see the band after so long and it was a special show, but doesn’t compare to some of the others. 

    I feel like night 2 2016 was such a mixed bag. Some absolutely amazing songs mixed in with so many covers. Also, not the best crowd.

    16 MSGN2 was my 8th show of the tour and the night before I was in GA, this night 200's and behind the stage.  I was very much worn out from hearing a few songs again... 12-15 repeats a night but then you would have other greats peppered in.

    So I was burnt when N2 came around.  I can imagine how the band feels...

    MSG N2 was my only show for 2016. 😞 and I agree it was lackluster.

    Last night was definitely up there, but I agree, 5/21/2010 was the most epic MSG for me...that Lukin slowdown was so amazing...and BM singalong was the best I've ever heard....it's on YouTube and gives me the chills everytime...and the rarities of Sweet Lew and Black Red Yellow
    I tried to describe that BM singalong and ovation after the intro to my buddy before the show.  Just needed to be there - absolutely bananas.  This show had so much of that for me.  Absolutely my fave Release ever.

    I love night 1 in 08, that show was awesome. 2016 Night 1 had some amazing variety but a lot of covers…
    Funny I loved N2 08 over N1 08, most likely cause it was my first release

    Those are 2 absolutely perfect shows and in my top 3 of 41 total. MSG 2022 right there at this very moment for a variety of reasons. We are all so lucky to have this band and every show is a gift,

    Unbelievable.  Pit was insane.  We were up in the nosebleeds but still had an amazing time.  
    That's the sign of a great show: when you can see the floor/pit is going crazy from up in the nosebleeds, but you still have an amazing time up there. I've had that too and it really does mean the show is THAT good.  Glad you enjoyed it!

    Just got home to PA after a few days in NYC.

    What a show.  This was number 25 for me.  While I can’t say it was the best show I was at, the best set list I’ve seen, or even my favorite show, I can 100% say this was my favorite PJ experience ever.

    The crowd was epic, I’ve never seen a crowd so into it. This was my first MSG show so maybe there have been better but for my money this crowd took the crown.

    Opening with Release was the perfect start.  You could tell it was going to be a special night at that first note.  Present Tense going from seated and into a full out jam then right into Porch was probably the highlight of the night.  Sonic Reducer was epic, and what can you say about Chloe/Crown.  The crowd did tone down a bit for the 3 Gigaton songs, but I really enjoyed them, especially Who Ever Said.  But Eddie brought the crowd back with Betterman and carried them the rest of the way.

    If I can nitpick anything, I’d have loved for either Why Go or DTE to be swapped out for a more rare song in the encore, but the crowd absolutely ate those 2 songs up so it’s hard to complain much. 

    First show since Wrigley in 18 and the band sounded great, I swear Ed’s voice gets better with age.  Hoping they continue to tour for at least a few shows every year so we can all keep enjoying the ride!

    Two days later and I still tear up thinking about Release the other night. I think if I could pick one song from all the shows I’ve been to to explain why I love seeing this band, that would be it.

  • A couple days late but what an unreal show. I had such expectations and they delivered and exceeded them. I knew it was going to be a special night when Release started the show....the amazing energy and Eddie's voice never died. It was a perfect setlist for this night and this crowd. Eddie truly is a master at that. 

    I was up in section 324 row 1 that was separate from the rest of the section and I am not exaggerating it was literally shaking at the end during RITFW. I genuinely wondered if it was possible this thing could collapse  =)

    Just a truly special night. One I will never forget. This is right up there with the Ten show in Philly. Seeing this band really is my Church. Thank you Pearl Jam!!!

    Can't wait for Camden tomorrow night.

    Perfectly said and same thing for me, 2 days later!  There are few feelings in the world better that that one we all felt on Sunday night at MSG. Hope to see some of you in Camden, Nashville and Denver!

  • I am too old to compare the 25 (or so) shows that I have seen all I know is that it was absolutely awesome the other night.  The energy was crazy, not so sure other bands create the same enthusiasm (definitely not for me).  I don't chase rarities anymore as I feel like when a bunch of the crowd doesn't know the song it drains the energy.  Beside the people behind me in sec. 119 talking the whole time it was a phenomenal experience, can't wait to do it again.  

    On a separate note, Eddie was wearing a Capitol Theater shirt from Port Chester NY (I believe).  I was told by somebody that they had played a private gig there a couple of months ago and were possibly going to play another one?  I don't see anything written about it on the site and was just wondering if anybody had heard about it?

    Yes that was a Cap t-shirt. Eddie & The Earthlings played a private show there before the Beacon shows in February, IIRC it was truly private, no radio contest winners or fan club tix or anything like that.

    I was at the reopening of the Cap show with Bob Dylan in 2012.  Cannot believe that was a decade ago!

  • I didn't think any crowd could ever come close to 5/21/10, but I think start to finish, Sunday's crowd was a tad better.  Although the 5/21/10 BM is still the loudest I have ever heard.  Show wise 5/21 is tops for me.  Would put this one somewhere around 5th (out of approx 60)

    Funny I loved N2 08 over N1 08, most likely cause it was my first release 
    I felt like there were a lot of repeats and also, that version of HTI might be my favorite. Still, I really enjoyed N2 as well!

  • Show #28, my first at MSG and I made it to the rail!! The most life-affirming experience I can recall in a long long time. The crowd was amazing and the band was beyond all hopes. It was a gift.
