If any of you guys are still looking for single tickets they must have released some today on ticketmaster. I pulled some good seats from 120 and 121. Too bad I already got a ticket in 105. I thought about buying the closer seat in 120 but it will be a pain in the ass for me to sell my other ticket. Go get those tickets!!
Pearl Jam Rollcall
Had a quick question too. I have a 105 ticket section Q. Now is that on the floor because on the map it shows 105 too or is this in the stands??? Anyone know? Thanks
i'm fairly certain that 105/Q is in the stands, not on the floor.
Great
anyone up for a little pre-game?
if the train gods are merciful upon me, i'll be at RFD around 6:30, having a bite and a drink (but just one, really, i swear…)
i'll probably be wearing a blue university of kentucky t-shirt (go wildcats!). PM me if you need additional info, i can read it on my phone (but include alternate contact info, as replying to PMs is a pain - e-mail is good, as is texting).

Gonna have to say that the DC show was better than Camden 1. Ted Leo played a more inspired set with loads of new material.
Pearl Jam strung together more up-tempo rockers and downplayed the extended jams in DC. Eddie had his serious face on for most of the evening… Now when is that secret fan club show at the club again?

Ted Leo was gggggrrrrrrreatttt…
This show was way better than the 06 show. Great to see some Binaural songs on the setlist as well as WHO YOU ARE(!).
Other than that, I did not care for the hits, namely Alive and Even Flow.

Wow! That crowd was unbelievably loud tonight. Of 9 shows, that was the best crowd.
The setlist was great. 31 songs. 5 songs I had never seen before (Hard to Imagine, I'm Open, Who You Are, No More, All Along the Watchtower). The "You" trilogy of "You Are," "U," and "Who You Are" was wonderful. That was easily the best "Rearviewmirror" I've ever seen.
I loved "Hard to Imagine" as an opener. What a beautiful song. "Hail Hail" –> "Do the Evolution" really set the tone for the night.
"Come Back" sounded great. I'm glad they brought it back on this tour.
I'm sure Ted Leo fans enjoyed his set. It just isn't my thing.
EDIT: Why abandon "Evacuation"?! I love that song. I was at the back of the floor; did anyone see who fucked up? Was it Stone?

great show better than va beach ted Leo good didnt know they were that hard
I never realized Pearl Jam was a semi-jam band. Then again, I haven't heard anything since maybe their third album. This show was probably better for the hardcore fans. I wish the Pumpkins would follow the lead and stop doing greatest hits shows all the time.
from the politico's daily playbook:
CHATTER: At last night's PEARL JAM concert at the Verizon Center, lead singer Eddie Veder made a comment against offshore drilling, prompting some in the expensive seats to begin chanting, 'Drill! Drill!' Lead guitarist Mike McCready ends by playing 'The Star-Spangled Banner,' a la Jimi Hendrix.
Spotted (but not chanting): Rob and Rebecca NICHOLS, Howard WOLFSON and Katie LEVINSON.

pretty sure Mark Messier was in the stands…
Personally, I thought they seemed sloppy last night…great set list, and Eddie is always entertaining…but I didn't think they came across as very tight.
Strong performance as usual. "Workmanlike" is the term I always use to describe a PJ show.
The crowd was VERY into it. I loved the pogoing during "Given To Fly". I did spend the whole show slightly distracted by the baseball-cap-wearing knuckleheads in front of us. I don't see many guys do the "rock out" sign (with your pinkie, index, and thumb out) with zero irony.
BTW, after we do something about the concert talkers our next mission will be to take on the farters.

great show. i was expecting eddy to get all political on us, what with it being the last show PJ will play here under the bush presidency… strange that he didn't. he was definitely chattier in camden. maybe he's still hung over from those shows :)
the band created a Perfect Moment™ during "black". phenomenal.
