It was a dream come true to say the very least. I'm 18 and have been a die hard fan since i was 7, it was my first show, my brother, dad, and mom's as well. What a set-list, Corduroy, Alive, and Come Back were my highlights. Can't wait till 2011!

Been a fan for a long time, but this is the first show I've seen. Awesome!!!! Thank you guys and Come Back again. And hopefully, the couple that had the dead battery in the parking garage got home that night. Your Welcome for who ever you are.

That is PJ!!! missed my flight had to sleep in the airport had no clue how to get any were n that town which was nice. But wasnt gonna miss the best band standing today! alone and a rental car hauled ass to the arena made it to a performance that i will never forget. come back was the high light for me couldn't hold i flowed a river of tears for what i dont know why just how. thanxs again pj and the crew and thanxs ohio for giving this Texan a home for a night!!!

can anyone tell me how long i been a current member??? my number is very close to this JT182612 persona (very close)...my seats in msg 03 DVD show was way in the back half way up the bowl...(st paul, minn 07' row 25)...KC, MO. 2 months ago row 15...i'm getting up there!!! but i also feel after reading a lot of these posts, IT's entirely based on which show demographically i attend...Hence anywhere near chicago...i'll be back further due to the mass fan base longevity...ty for your time

Does anyone know why the pre-opener songs are not available for download?

Absolutly wonderful...PJ, I love you guys *siiigh*

Man i was there and it was amazing. The crowd was so alive. Also loved Mike's songs at the beginning.

"Dead Flowers" was the Stones cover. Mike performed both pre-openers.

I'm assuming that the "Dead Flowers" they played was a cover of the Stones...wish I could buy that separately!

This was my 4th PJ concert and was probably the best. I saw them at polaris amphitheatre twice which was ok but four years ago in Cincinatti was incredible and I thought could never be beat until this show. The set list was incredible start to finish. This was my first time hearing Black live and was a personal highlight. When Eddie is letting the wine flow it just means that we are in for a long night of great music. This being the third time I have seen them in Columbus this was the most interactive I have seen him with the crowd. Per earlier post he was passing the bottle around with fans in the front. The croud was in to the show and the band was feeding off of it. Eddie can do whatever he wants with his music and drink as much wine as he wants as long as the greatest rock band in the world Pearl Jam keeps putting on shows like that. Drunk Eddie is a lot better than some of the shit music that has been coming out lately. PJ forever.

Yup, you're right - I probably didn't notice at the time because I was so blown away that they were not only playing it, but dedicated it to the OSU student. From the intro explanation, it sounds like it was an add-on to the original set list? At any rate, he sounded great, even with the verses all over the place.

Hey thanks for the video. By slaughtering I mean singing the 5th verse in place of the second verse and mixing up the lyrics more from then on out. Print out the lyrics and compare for your self.

I didn't think he slaughtered Come Back at all? In fact, he sounded quite coherent during the introduction: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-DFcp-jUqM .

Ok - this was my 12th show and I have 3 more next week (Newark, and MSG x2). The band was as tight as ever highlights of the night for me were the "faithful. hail hail, and amazing "crazy mary" jam . . .

BUT - with every show I go to (especially since '06)Eddie seems to be more drunk each time. He SLAUGHTERED "Alone" and "Come Back" and while I will always see PJ whenever I can - I'm getting a little tired of sloppy Eddie.

Is it just me? or does anybody else feel the same.

Great Show, Great Setlist, and Great Seats - row 23 my best yet w/ 10club!!
New songs live were incredible!
Off to Indy next!!!

Aw man! If I would have read this before I left we could have met up! I went to Cleavlend and met up with some gents from Canada we had pretty awesome seats (15 rows back). I went to Buffalo too! Driving all the way home from Cleveland and then going to pick up my buddy to go back out to Buffalo! What a trip man! Couldn't get enough! Still having a hard time sitting down because of my bruises! Totally worth it! Still in shock that I got to see them live. :D

My sentiments are the same as everyone else here. Absolutely wonderful show! Still swooning almost a full week later. The drive from Cincinnati was more than worth the trip. Still kicking myself for not getting tickets to the Noblesville show the next night...*siiigh*
I can't stop showing off my pictures to friends, family and co-workers...any captive audience willing to look! Thank you Ten Club for the awsome seats. Thank you PJ for your music. :D

Almost a week later and I can't quit thinking about this show. Trying to explain it and put it into words doesn't do it justice... it almost cheapens the experience. The setlist was perfect, I became best friends with every smiling face I saw, the energy was tangible, and Ed had us in the palm of his hand until the very end.... gives me chills.
Thanks 10C for the amazing seats and a night I'll never forget.

the columbus show was great. setlist had a perfect flow about it. fans were great,my father was lifeflighted to columbus earlier in the day. he was in icu at university hospital at ohio state. i went to see him and he was stable. ireluctantly went to the show and am so glad i did. i bought 3 shirts and gave one to my dad.he still is on a ventalator but is making progress. thanks for all the kind words i got from fellow pj fans and i will never forget.peace

WOW! had my friggin' doors blown off, again! thanks for another stellar performance. pearljam are rock gods! quoting eddie,"fuck twitter!"

This tour is rreally heating up now!

Stacy, I will go to the Cleveland show with you! I went to the C-bus show by myself and was thinking about heading up to Cleveland but it would be better to go with a (new) friend!

fantastic show!

Note/Update: the 2nd encore began w/Ed's reminder that local Brian Shaeffer remains missing and dedicated Come Back to him.

ROCK ON!

Just when I think it cannot get any better - it does! WOW! What a great show! Amazing energy from every ounce of the arena. 4th row - center! Music was incredible, addicting and longing for days of mosh pitt-ing! Thanks! A MILLION Thank You's!

Echoing everyone else.....COLUMBUS SETLIST WAS AMAZING!!! Opening the show with "Oceans" was a shocker. AWESOME way to begin the BEST show I've ever seen. Also loved "Come Back" (the best under-the-radar PJ song in my mind). But I noticed it's not listed on the Columbus setlist above. Please don't forget to include it on the PJ bootleg because I plan on wearing these tracks out!!! Thanks guys....AGAIN.

That may have been me you saw! I have been waiting to see them since I was 12 (I'm 28 now) It was my first PJ show I WAS dancing like it was my last day on Earth!!!! I have bruises ALL OVER ME! I was sooooooo excited I just couldn't contain myself. In my pics my friend took I look like a wild woman! Haha!

Trying to get tix for Cleavland tommorrow.....no one will go with me. Thinking of going alone.

Just got back from Columbus-Indy nites of PJ love! I love road trips! First time ever to Verizon Music Center. Weather jacked up the nite but, as always, Pearl Jam delivered. Insignifiance, Force of Nature, Off He Goes, and Baba were highlights! However, it was near impossible for anything to beat Columbus the nite before.

First, I want say Thank You to Pearl Jam and Thank You to the Ten Club for everything you do! It has been an honor to be a part of this "Religion" since 3-22-1994. Columbus was my 16th PJ show, but the first time I was able to hit the lottery! 2nd row right in front of the Amazing Mike McCready. Thank you 10C!!!! And a special Thank You to Mike McCready! My wife is 6-months pregnant and had to sit down for a bit, and while playing, Mike looked at her as if, "Why are you sitting down?" (especially with the electricity that place had during the show) My wife gave a pregnant hand-guessture. He said "Congrautlations!" She will remember that forever! Thanks Mike!
This was also the first time my wife was able to go with me as my wife. No Long Road, but Oceans will do! (see my profile) Hearing Given To Fly next was a bonus! Then to get the likes of Worldwide, Grievance, Alone, Evolution, Spin the Black Circle, and Hail, Hail was simply wonderful! I can't even begin to tell you how much fun that concert was. The band was hooked up, the place was electric, and I got to enjoy it all in MY HOMETOWN!!! Thanks PJ for a mind-blowing and memorable night!

P.S.: We bought the "I GOT SHIT" onesie!

It was my 17th show, since the beginning of this minor obsession. I finally lucked out and got 2nd row in front of Stone. I've seen these guys in numerous towns under different circumstances (Lollapalooza, Vote For Change, 10th Anniversary in Vegas). Personally, I can't think of a better set list I've witnessed live. Sure, they could have played B-Sides all night and I would have been blown away due to my proximity. One moment during the show, however, I turned around and looked up to the very upper back section of the arena and saw a girl dancing like it was her last day on Earth. It’s rare that a band can get that type of reaction from someone in the less than stellar section of the venue. All I could do was smile. I won’t soon forget that image. Priceless. Pearl Jam.

Parents feel a duty to our kids to take them to see important things like the Grand Canyon, the ocean and the Vietnam Vets Memorial Wall. Having now taken my teenage son to his first rock concert, I would add a Pearl Jam show to the list. It was a joy to watch his face light up with wonder and awe as he gazed around and up into the crowd as we all stood and sang together with one voice. Felt like church should be sometimes. As clergy myself, I would reflect on Ed's comment around The Nat'l Day of Prayer and petitioning to have PJ designated a legit religion. With the goal of doing good and only one rule: Don't Be An Ass; 'PJ Spirituality' sounds remarkably like Jesus' "New Commandment" to "Love One Another". Maybe we all are Given To Fly...
I wish PJ would do a cover of CSNY's "Ohio" to commemorate Kent State (40 yrs.) With all the right-wing rage these days, we need to never forget.

This was my 8th Pearl Jam show and like most things in life, they just keep geting better with age. I'm blown away by how unique they make every show. I'll see you guys in Cleveland!

The Columbus show was BEYOND amazing!! This was my dad and my first PJ concert; we couldn't have been luckier! Because of the 10c we had floor seats about half way back! Everyone was so friendly and the energy...well, if you were there...no explination is needed. Mind blowing!! PJ puts on a great show-we officially pray to them too :) Matt Cameron's skill...sigh...increadible. Eddie, Mike, Jeff, Stone and Boom, as well...are simply INCREADIBLE. The set list was great-full of suprises(we got Crazy Mary)!! We can hardly wait to see you in Cleveland this weekend! Thank you for the BEST concert memory of all time! -S+G

This show was incredible!!!! Had to wait 7 years to see the guys again, but well worth the wait.....Need to make this an annual stop!!!!!

Best show I have ever been to, hands down!...Have been a fan since I was 4 years old and this is the first time I have ever had the chance to see you guys. Went all the way to Columbus from New Jersey and I can't wait till the 20th to see you at MSG...Thanks for all these years of Excellent music, and thank you for the greatest concert-going experience of my Life.....P.S. Eddie, Let me drink from your wine bottle like u let the girl in the pink tank top last night ha. Love you guys

Thank you for the best experience of my life. Eddie when you went off stage I was able to hug you &kiss your cheek. I've been a fan since you came to my high school and played a basketball game (Normandy H.S. parma,oh) and have always wanted to meet you. Then I drank from your bottle of red wine before a fellow fan stole it from me. Thank you for making my dream come true! It was truly a dream . Can't wait for the cleveland show!
My cousin sold the band a guitar he made & hung out with you yesterday. He's so fortunate! What an honor for pj to buy a guitar he made!

Thank you!
Christine....girl in pink tank top that hugged & kissed u! xo

First show in almost 2 years. Drove down from St. Catharines ON and got 2 speeding tickets on the way. That being said, well worth it. MIke's opener was a nice touch and I can't wait to see what happens Monday in Buffalo. PS Diggin Jeff's checkered bass! I'll be sure to Tweet to all my friends about how good the setlist was......HA! J/K

It has been seven years since I saw you guys in Columbus the last time and I have to say I was blown away. The energy level of this show was off the charts. The set list was brilliant. All I can say is thanks for giving me a wonderful memory I will cherish always. Thank you.

Thank you Ten Club for the great seats at the Columbus show! Great set list and great crowd!!!

This show ruined me. I don't think I can expect one like this again. Great energy. Great band. Great fans. 10 CLUB...you continue to do amazing things and spoil us. Thanks for making each experience a great memory.

The show last night was wonderful and I thank you for great seats and a most memorable evening...Eddy had some great interaction with the crowd and I was stoked to hear "Alone" and "Come Back". Mike is really one of the best lead guitar players around, he really stole the show! The band reminded me of "Fugazi" back in their heyday being so tight and feeding off eachother...Please play "Baba O'riley" when you come to Cleveland! I have seen PJ several times and have always hoped you would close the night out with that one...I am so happy to be a part of the PJ fan club and CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU IN MY HOMETOWN!!!
All The Best To You,
Mark Fletcher

What a great show. The band was on fire and so was the crowd. This was the first show I've been to where they played material from Backspacer. It sounds so good live. Got Some was probably my favorite. Mike played the guitar behind his head during Even Flow. SOLAT, Spin the Black Circle, and Go all in a row was incredible. Crazy Mary was epic. I've been fortunate enough to see it live a few times, but Mike and Boom dueling never gets old. I have no voice left from the show, but I can't wait to make the drive to Indy and do it all over again tonight.

they blew the roof off that place last night . Wow what a show . that set list was amazing . and they were bringing it . as fast as they could change guitars . it was Hottt .

This was show 5 for me and I was very excited to here Alone! McCready's opener was terrific! Eddie revealed they are starting Pearljamism...and there is one commandment: "Don't be an asshole!" Oh, and Twitter is forbidden. "I hate that shit!" See you tonight in Noblesville guys!

awesome set list!!! wish i had been there!!

Wow! Pearl Jam was amazing! Eddie's voice was right on like and he rocked it out 1993 style, throwing shit, drinking that wine, Spin the Black Circle brought tears of joy to my eyes. I wanted to rock last night and I couldnt have imagined it being any better than that. Amazing set list full of delightful suprises! Thank you Pearl Jam you rocked the house...see you tonight!

this was my 24th PJ + 3 eV shows my second was 1992 they talked aliitle on that last night.today iam off. will be missing Deercreek....Noblesvilllle OUTSIDE that will be great.but will be in Cleveland. to see them peace Eric

I have been to many shows but this one was wild! Mike's Pre-opener was incredible that guy is amayzing playing guitar (behind his head during Even Flow). Eddie sounded great and his interaction with the crowd was more that I have ever seen before. The energy in that arena was off the charts and I think the band recognized it. Thanks PJ for the double encore and your set list was incredible!

My wife and I went to several shows on the Binaural and Riot Act Tours but hadn't seen them in almost 7 years. Tonight we went for our anniversary. Of the 9 shows I have seen now, I think this may be the best one. It has an incredible setlist. Rarities and classics and no Butterman/Daughter/Jeremy but rather Oceans, Alive, SOLAT, Alone, an amazingly long Crazy Mary, Grievance, Black, Spin the Black Circle, Go, Hail Hail and so much more.

The audience intensity was powerful; Eddie commented on it a couple of times. He joked that since today was National Prayer Day, he and the band were going to try to register as their own religion. He claimed Stone was Jesus and it was all his idea. He claimed their religion has only one commandment: "Don't be an asshole!" There were many fun interactions with the crowd which was just wild for PJ.

The best parts were the amazing setlist and the absolutely godlike Mike. I've never heard such a long and amazing jam on Crazy Mary; a long solo on Even Flow was done behind his head; and he was totally ON and JAMMING all night. He really stole the show!

This was a magnificent show with tracks from all 9 albums and 28 songs by my running count (without seeing an official setlist yet) running almost 2 1/2 hours.

Thanks so much Pearl Jam! This was a wonderful show!

Clait and Gloria

Just returned from Columbus and what a show!!! Just awesome! I agree...Mike's pre-show was a great way to kick it off! Been ten years since I've seen them live and it exceeded every expectation I had! Can't wait to head back home to NY and see them at the end of the month! Ed, please turn around at MSG for us unfortunate enough to be sitting BEHIND the stage! Thanks!

Drove from Cincinnati to see this show. Awesome setlist, great crowd interaction. Well worth the two hours in a cramped car seat!
