Hope yous guys had fun!

[Leash-Me]

I have been to many, many two-night stands in the same venue from Chicago, to East Rutherford, NJ to Camden, NJ and even the Borgata shows. And I can assure you that this has been without a doubt the best two-night stand in a single venue. They wrapped up the US Tour in style giving us our favorites and a TON or rarities.
And yes, the crowd was LOUD! Only Spectrum Night 3 was louder in my opinion. I have being going to shows since 1995 and they consistently deliver new exciting experiences. I waited all this time, 40+ shows to get HUNGER STRIKE!!!! Are you kidding me?! Sounded amazing. Thanks guys!

Oh.. and SLOW Lukin with the strings... just amazing!

This is the boot to get folks…

I agree with Leash Me, I've been to all the "two night" shows Leash has been to and these past two shows were just incredible, up there with anything Pearl Jam has done. Vedder had some phenomenal lines and tonight's show in particular was the 2nd best Pearl Jam show I have ever been to.(MSG II in '98 is the only better one) I can't believe 12 years later, Pearl Jam can make me feel like I did when I was 25.

Every song killed, the crowd was amazing, I really don't want to hear anyone post in here the crowd wasn't anything but energetic and enthusiastic the entire show. I love the rarities, but tonight's Nothingman singalong was just, ahhhh, I can't even come up with words. It was majestic, spiritual, and inspiring. So many people on the same page, with the same vibe, that feeling is like nothing else in the world.

Get this boot, get this video, get whatever, it will be worth it.

Highlights were the aforementioned Nothingman, Hunger Strike, Present Tense, Breath, I'm Open/Unthought Known to Zinn, Push Me, Pull Me, Black Red Yellow, and Given to Fly.

Hearing BRY for the first time was a highlight. Not to mention Hunger Strike.... It was a great (# 24th) show

[RABartell]

So bummed that I couldnt get a ticket for tonights show. Sounds like it was an amazing night.

[Black Ledbetter]

That was one of the best shows I have EVER been to by any band. By far the BEST ENCORE of anything i have ever seen!!! Hunger Strike, THE REAL ME, Black, YL, RVM and on and on and on and on!!!

PJ rocks!
