check out Pearl Jam - The Sky I Scrape News, and even craigs list... you should be able to get a decently priced ticket there. sky i scrape will probably get ya one for face value if you're lucky
you either have assholes selling their 200s/100s for upwards of $250 a pop, or shitty seats going for like a hundred.
I should get Lost Dogs one of these days. It's only been on my wish list forever!
they seem to get tighter as a live act with every tour, which is hard to believe, honestly. it's been the same rotation now for a quite a while, with matt and boom holding up the back for mike, jeff, stone and ed... after a long stretch where they were changing drummers every 2 years.
also i think eddie in particular is a lot more comfortable with who he is and who they are now then he's ever been. so he's got that going for him, which is nice.
I hate you all.
What kind of seats did you have?
with my crappy number tuesday night i had section 94, first section off the floor opposite the stage.
the guy i went with last night had a number in the low 100,xxx's and we still weren't in the first section of the floor.. section 6, 5 rows back from the middle divider.
your 10c number must be, like, 10.
now i've been on the floor of the garden a few times now... 3 times for u2 shows and i stormed the floor with the crowd after st. john's won the NIT a few years back. last night was the first time i was on the floor at the garden for pearl jam. i had also been on the floor in boston for pearl jam and this never happened there... when eddie says that the floor is jumping, holy f'ing shit, he really means the floor is jumping. that floor was literally, no exaturation at all, jumping up and down... to the point where i actually had to catch my balance one time. now obviously this probably has something to do with the fact that the garden floor is on the 5th level. but it was really f'ing cool. the only time i've ever felt an arena/stadium literally shake like that before was the upper deck of game 7 of the NLCS after endy chavez's catch.
You got any plans for Saturday?
Oh man. I won't be around, which sucks because I know how awesome your seats usually are.
Fuck.
Dude, what do you use to take your videos?
Btw, did anyone else feel it would have been cool if they had shown the band on the screen suspended from the ceiling? I could hardly make out any of the band members' faces from all the way across the arena!
But I wanted to see Eddie's handsome.. I mean.. I wanted to see his facial expression when he was talking and stuff.. yeah
I don't think that's Eddie...certainly not Mike or Stone playing guitar next to him, and "death" doesn't exactly fit the PJ mold.
Next time we hook up for a show, I'll utilize my Ten Club closeness-to-the-stage powers to full effect. We can throw our thongs on stage.

Yeah, I would have liked a screen too. I was spoiled by being close to the stage in Hawaii and I really appreciated his . . . facial expressions and all that intellectual stuff like Zoots said
I got the digital download of the Tampa show yesterday. I wish all bands did things like that.
