Wow Pearl Jam was great, even though I haven't bought one of their albums since Vitalogy, they are a fantastic live band.

Played for 2.5 hours, and Eddie's voice sounded awesome.

Anyone else have thoughts on the show?

Chili Peppers were better, but it wasn't bad. I'd see them again, but get better seats.

Best concert I have seen in Calgary. Simply amazing.
8th row floor seats kicked ass too. I've never sat so close at any large show.
For anyone who is a die hard fan of more than just their early years, I'm sure would have ranked this as one of the best concerts they've seen.
Where was everyone sitting?

Man, you've gotta pick up some more of their stuff...Yeild is an essential album

Anyways, the show was amazing..best live band in the world, with an amazing catalogue of songs to play...glad they decided to come here

Yeah, amazing Concert....One of my favorites...

RHCP was a little better for me 'cause I was moshing 10 feet from the stage, but I enjoyed the music last night more.

I wish the acoustics in the 'Dome were a little better though...

McReady = AMAZING!!!

I'm seeing them tonight in Edmonton. I saw them in Van a couple years ago, and it was a great show.

Labour Day Classic, then Pearl Jam. What a great Monday.

I work there, and I don't really like them, so it passed me off how long they played. If you were in 217/218, I was your usher.

I was in 216. Great show, crowd was loud and the band appreciated it.

Shout out to the girl that puked on the C-Train.

Great show, 13th row on the floor, BEST band in the world. I've already downloaded the show from http://bootlegs.pearljam.com/. Great sound quality plus when you download the show you get pics from the show. I just REALLY hope they come back soon.

It was an awesome show! I can't believe how good some of those older songs sound live, it's almost as if they had recorded those songs yesterday rather than almost 15 years ago.

Did anyone notice what happened behind the stage at the end of the 1st, or beginning of the 2nd encore? It looked like someone fell/jumped from the second tier. All I saw were like 5 security guys rush over and carry something off.

I sold my extra pair of tickets that I think was in that section...

Great concert, as they played for 2 and a half hours giving me more than my money's worth. Funniest thing was some guy with a New York City shirt jumping onto the floor, and security trying to get him out while the crowd around was cheering him. The one female security person looked like a real bitch that was just itching to beat on someone. After they take him out, he's back at his old seat jawing with some other security guy. It was quite a show within itself.

Just getting back from the show in edmonton, truley amazing. Eddies voice rung through rexall beautifully, they played for over 2 hrs and that in itself is amazing.

My fav song they sang had to be Go, kinda sad that black wasnt done but an amazing show.

loob job · 09-06-2005, 06:33 AM

I'm going to the show in hamilton next tues, super pumped for it. Can you tell me approx. what time they went on at? I know it says it starts at 7:30 but i dont wanna go that early but dont wanna miss pearl jam. If someone could let me know that would be aces. Thanks.

They played Black here in Calgary, but not Go. Both good ones, but I am happy I heard black instead....

Yield is an essential album of their's probably there most underrated album that's for sure. The concert was great, the crowd was real good too I was singing to each song at the top of my lungs and wasnt looking like an idiot because everyone around us was doing the same. We were up in the second deck but I still really enjoyed it.

loob job · 09-06-2005, 08:14 AM

Thanks habernac, appreciate it, i figured it would be around 9, seems to be pretty standard for any arena concert.

Incogneto · 09-06-2005, 10:29 AM

Anyone from the Edm. concert have a track listing? I want to know what they played there, that they didn't play here.

North East Goon · 09-06-2005, 10:48 AM

What was the full track listing of the Calgary concert, because the one paper said they played State of Love and Trust and I do not remember that. Must have been all the pops I was drinking before and during the concert.
