    I don't know if I am the only one but I am sick of all the hype for the MSG shows. Camden 1 and Bonnaroo were just as good. The MSG show was great but please don't call it the best PJ show ever. I can think of 2 shows I attended off the top of my head that blow it away. State College 03, and the Gorge 06 night 1.

    agreed I was kind of disappointed

    new yorkers? really?

    funny I don't hear ny'ers call it the city, so really it is everyone else :)
    I would have to say as a first time visitor to the city it is a shithole. Sorry.

    Ask people around the world "Which is better: NYC or Vermont?"

    Lets see which wins.

    Actually, lets see who knows where Vermont is.

    New York is the greatest fucking place in the world. I feel truly at home when I am there. Unfortunately I don't live there.
    I pledge to you a government that will not only work well, but wisely, its ability to act tempered by prudence, and its willingness to do good, balanced by the knowledge that government is never more dangerous than when our desire to have it help us blinds us to its great power to harm us.

    I am glad I didn't pony up the dough to go this trip. Bonnaroo looks to be the best of the tour so far

    vermont, easily.

    unfortunately some pj fans are elitists, and it shows when shows are played at msg and boston. not everyone, but some. it makes the boards unbearable (actually they have been lately, i rarely post anymore).

    considering what was supposedly on the setlist for night 1, the msg shows were weak. people there got robbed.

    why can't it just be that some like one thing others like another?


    I personally would like matt to stop touching ed's butt

    not because I think another butt is better

    just because I don't like it

    There is only one thing worse than NY PJ fans thinking their special....

    Boston PJ fans thinking their special.

    No, you definitely have to be there to understand.

    The fucking floor was moving under my feet. I swear to God. A concrete floor.

    At first, I just thought it was just in my head. Then Ed asked, "When the stage moves, can you guys feel it, too?" And I was like ... "Yeah!" It was a really, really weird feeling.

    Maybe the MSG shows are overhyped. Maybe. But I've never been to a show with the atmosphere of the MSG shows in my damn life.

    And the only thing worse than both of these things is when people don't use there/their/they're correctly. LOL.

    Every PJ show I have seen ahas been great but the MSG shows are usually at the bottom of the list. The sound there isn't that great, compared to PNC and Susquahanna Bank Center. I guess I'm just biased because i prefer to see them at smaller venues instead of big arenas.

    I don't think many of the fans around the globe would travel to Mansfield, MA., Camden, NJ to see Pearl Jam. They were at the Garden in droves!

    I have seen 7 PJ shows in NYC, all of them were magnificent.

    Pearl Jam must love playing there and that is all I care about!
