Either way, it's silly to me that some people's enjoyment of a show is in any way predicated on whether or not the people around them are rocking out hard enough. Everyone enjoys things in different ways. Some people are expressive, some are not.0 -

Saw Godsmack in an arena ages ago and Sully was yelling at a guy in the loge to stand up. Turns out he was in a wheelchair. Hand to God I witnessed that.0

As long as someone isn't pestering you to sit down, mind your own business. I'd rather skip a show than sit in uppers or too far back for this reason but fully recognize that's a me thing vs a them thing.0

vito said:La1 greatest PJ show ever, best crowd ever...strange I counted 3 different SECTIONS in the video that were completely seated until EF, the 13th song??? I have never seen 10 people sit at a Chicago show ever over 20 shows or so. You people that we're there have no clue except for the sections you were in.

vito said:bootleg said:Not sure why so much hostility. Multiple things can be true at the same time. Yes based on the feed there were whole sections sitting down until Evenflow. If I remember correctly the side sections immediately to the sides of the stage were not available for 10c for LA? So maybe a lot of tix held back for VIP types. Kyle Gass was one of those sitting for much of the show.
But it did seem like the pit and floor were pretty energized. The band seemed to be enjoying it and sounded great. Setlist had some nice variety to it too so try to keep the good vibes going.
By the way, have you ever noticed that there are a lot of people who move from Chicago to L.A. but not so many who move from L.A. to Chicago? It's not just about the weather.I gather speed from you fucking with me.0 -
First time seeing PJ last night (used to be a music journalist so have seen 100s of shows) and they have definitely still got it! Pretty nice to get to hear my namesake song too. I don't particularly love the production on DM, but it was a lot of fun watching Andrew Watt rock out like a 15yr old on stage with the band.
The performance was really strong - I was nervous about Eddie's voice reading some of the comments here, but he sounded good for 90% of the show and was only fading a bit by the very end of Leash/Alive but the crowd more than filled in. Mike was in amazing form and the most energetic member of the band, running across the stage and out into the crowd near the end too. Eddie seemed genuinely touched to be playing the Forum - told a story about sitting in the nosebleeds with his dad as a kid, and then brought a father and son down from that section to the pit), his friend forgetting tickets to a Pink Floyd song and having to sit in the parking lot outside the venue and listen to The Wall from outside, and had a nice interaction with a woman in the pit who had brought her 83yr old dad who was also in the pit.
For me personally the setlist was pretty mixed - some all time highs (RVM, Save You, State of Love and Trust, seeing Daughter/In My Tree, Leash, Evenflow live) and then some songs I'm a bit meh on (Come Back, Oceans). I thought the pacing of back to back Dark Matter/latter era songs killed the overall energy a few times - particularly the Scared of Fear through Got Some portion of the set.
My main takeaway is I'd love to see them again and hope for more from Binaural, Yield, Riot Act, and No Code - but that may be the total opposite of other people! I would have loved Elderly Woman, Low Light, Better Man, Leatheman, Hail Hail, or Corduroy but that just happens to be my favorite era of the band.
The crowd energy was strong for a relatively vertical arena vibe, and I was in 134 with most people standing the whole time. I got aisle seats through TC and the view was amazing regardless of what anyone else around us was doing. Hope folks have a great night at LA2!0 -

meistereder said:I have to confess that last night in front of me were two people, mid-40’s and somewhat out of shape, sitting periodically to take breaks. In hindsight I feel terrible for letting it happen in front of me. As our friend from Chicago points out, this would not have been tolerated at the two Wrigley Field shows I went to, where, indeed, less than 10 people were seated in the entire venue.
I guarantee you that more than ten people out of more than 30,000 were seated at Wrigley Field.I gather speed from you fucking with me.0 -
I can be a pretty negative person a lot of the time, and can always find something to complain about. But I'm coming up short on last night's show. It was honestly one of the best PJ shows I've ever been to. Set list was amazing. Totally exceeded my expectations.0

This will be my last comment on this...I had spinal fusion surgery this last December, prior to that I had been living in ridiculous pain for 17 years. Last September PJ played one of their best shows ever at the UC and I was there w/ my son who watched me struggle the whole night! I stood the whole main set and sat until the encore started. I guess what I'm trying to say is that if I could do that at 58 certainly whole sections sitting comparatively is a problem. Lastly, If you were there and think it was the best show and the best crowd then I am sincerely happy for you!😎Post edited by vito onALPINE VALLEY MUSIC THEATRE 1992

I have fortunately never been in a situation at a Pearl Jam show where someone was yelling at me to sit down. If someone behind me were physically unable to stand and I were blocking their view, I would happily trade places with them. But sit down because someone behind me just doesn't feel like standing up at a rock show? Not going to happen.
For what it's worth, the band definitely hopes the audience will be standing.I gather speed from you fucking with me.0 -
