I just got back from the Pittsburgh show let me say- INCREDIBLE. 2 and a half hours, 28 songs. a whole lot of Ten Club members at the show, my number was 180xxx and i wasn't even on the floor. they opened with Small Town, and then powered through Hail Hail, Save You, Corduroy (with Ed doing a cool slide intro for a bit), Insignificance, Cropduster, before Ed addressed the crowd. Then came Daughter, without much of a tag. Even Flow was one of MANY jams throughout the night, which basically consisted of Mike going off for about 5 minutes. At one point, Mike ran all the way across the stage to Ed, who was watching on the side next to Boom, and did a crazy solo right in front of him. Then the boys pulled out Faithful! Sounded great, followed by a strong Whipping, and Immortality, a great version. They then plowed into Blood. After which Ed said "we usually play that song at the end of a set, cause its hard to sing much of anything after that. (pointing at his throat) But these things are made of steel. (Pittsburgh reference) and Matt plays titanium toms. And Mike and Stone both listen to a lot of metal. So overall we are pretty galvanized. Mike, give us a little bit of Nitro," and Mike proceeds to play about 10 secs of speed metal which was hysterical. They then play Down, Love Boat captain, Wishlist (with a long "give us the truth" style improv/outro). Ed lets the crowd sing the first verse of Better Man, and they do enthusiastically. They close with Go.

For the First Encore, Ed goes and speaks to all the band members, and then says "just so you know we aren't discriminatory people, as you will see with the body language of the next song." And the whole band turns around and plays Last Kiss to the crowd behind the stage. Breakerfall is next, followed by Once, Alive, and Footsteps (mamasan trilogy out of order). Alive has Ed using the mirror to light up the entire audience in turn, to the delight of everyone. afterwards, Ed notices the Skyboxes, which have been turning their lights on and off repeatedly for some time, creating a strobe effect, and laughs. He says "its the first time I've ever seen anyone in the skyboxes with any sort of creativity or enthusiasm. Jeff just said it looks like goddamn fuckin Hollywood squares up there!" the crowd loved this. Rearviewmirror is VERY long, a huge jam, stretching the song towards 10 mins, and closes the first encore. Ed returns solo after a few minutes and plays a great Hide Your Love Away. The band soars into Know Your Rights, which most of the crowd seems to be learning. Do the Evolution comes next, and then a REAL LONG Porch, with another extended jam featuring Mr. McCready soloing forever. They turn the house lights on and finish with Yellow Ledbetter. wow.... the band seemed to be having a great time... Mike jumping a lot, Jeff almost as much, and Eddie getting drunk off his wine. a great crowd in a good concert arena, and just an amazing show, one that will not be forgotten.

Just got home from Pittsburgh....it's been a three year LONG wait, but well worth it. All I have are visions of being 13 years old in the record store, and my Mom telling me I couldn't have PJ's 'Ten' because there were bad words on it, so I had to buy Bruce Springsteen instead. Needless to say, I snuck to mall a week later and got it. :)

Well, here we are ten years later, and tonight I held my mom's hand during the most beautiful version of "Wishlist" that I have ever heard. I couldn't help but feel a few tears of happiness stream down my cheeks as we looked at the mirrorball's light reflecting on our faces. She is 64 years old and was possibly the oldest person there. My other friends got a kick out of seeing her in the parking lot tonight, but knew she was cool and ready to rock out. I've successfully explained to her and my girlfriend why this band is so important to me and after tonight they now understand how amazing they are - and what an amazing show it was! This was truly a great night to be alive!!

"Daughter," "Porch," "Save You," and all the rest kicked serious ass. Red lights during "Blood" were sweet. The crowd singing the first verse of Bman was deafening. Mike torn UP the solos in "Even Flow" and "Immortality." My girlfriend and I were dancing our asses off to "Down." But the real treat was Ed solo covering the Beatles.

Seriously, what band can play 2 1/2 hours the night before and then do it all over again just as hard and loud the next day? No one but PJ - they were great, and I can't wait to see them again next week in State College. Thank you Pearl Jam for the music you make that brings about emotions I wish I could feel everyday. -

hello everyone
all the way across the seven seas and so many
different time zones
from india, with an aim to study and a dream to see
the jam of my pearly band
tonite was the realization of that dream and what a
way to do it
inside the mellon some with tattoos and lots with cell
phones
sparta kicked it off and for their real energy, they
do deserve a hand
but pearl jam is f***ing awesome, as their lead singer
succinctly put it
and they did come on with a small town song and a big
HELLO
then it was just one great song after another in a
parade
everything is a blur right now for its just about an
hour after the show
but it was one incredible musical nite that they made
some stars that shone real bright were old favs like
daughter and even flow
but the newer songs like LBC even put them to shade
the whole arena echoed with the first verse to better
man
i also completely choked up after screaming my lungs
out
wishlist was ethereal with all the lights going round
and round
hail hail the lucky ones, what better luck for a fan
than to hear corduroy and RVM, my all time favs
without a doubt
whipping up the tempo after a faithfull sound
eddie's blood followed one incredible live one called
immortality
and then down was a revelation with such a beautiful
melody
in the middle eddie did try and fool us by saying
goodbye
but then he came back on for he's got lungs so
steely!!
in the end they had to Go, which was what my friend
wanted to hear
they played hookey with us for sometime before they
came back
with a last kiss for the people that were there in the
back
breakerfall before the mamasan trilogy that was so
dear
the second encore started with eddie alone with
flashing sky lights
an old beatles song followed by know your rights
flying high doing the evolution and then down to the
porch we assert
the lights all lit up for an amazing end with the
yellow ledbetter song
a concert virgin's dream cure with this the best
concert
may i be there for many more, with Pearl Jam, to sing
along

keep on rockin
amu
