Hey guys, so sorry to mislead everyone on the early start. My friend does work high up at the Sox and PJ management did say 6:30. Another friend who also works in PR in town, had the same report from a different Sox source, so I thought it was legit, which I think it was. But what PJ Management tells the Sox isn't necessarily what's really going to happen. I have a source at TD Garden too and have experienced the same thing...the band telling the venue one thing and then another thing happen.
I've never purchased a poster, but lucked out, I think, when I took a piss during Alive and found a booth w/ no line so I grabbed that one with the old time cracker jack baseball guy with the white background. I guess I will frame it.
As for the show....mmmmm, kinda meh, with the exception of I've Got a Feeling, Release into Long Road, Strangest, and Comfortably Numb.
The Cordoroy sing along is brutal. It might be PJ's worst attempt to change a solid live song. It's totally ruined.
Overall, I found the sites and sounds a lot more interesting...it was weird to see hot chicks at a pearl jam show. Also, lots of weed in the air, more than usual, so that was cool, too.
Again, sorry for the misinformation, but I hope that it helped some people avoid those long security lines.

I wouldn't worry about the 630 thing, Coach. I was on a text message chain with friends attending the show, and they were all hearing the same thing, and none of them post here or the at the Pit.

That hashtag = "some things" aka some clown named Paul Wirt posting a bunch of videos from Guitar Center?

Loved the setlist. Chock full o' social commentary.. minimal lovey-dovey nonsense.
Eddie's starting to get ornery.. Hope it continues tomorrow.
I hope it continues through the next record. A tight, focused 34 minute set of political commentary songs, sung by an aging millionaire and produced by BOB, would at least be more interesting than another "classic Pearl Jam album" produced by BOB.

That was my first time hearing that Corduroy breakdown...good god that thing is atrocious
Was just happy to finally get through a show without Rockin and Save You...everyone else is sick of Baba and I'm just kinda sitting there going "wow, this is nice, haven't been in the building for this in 13 years...."
Still no Go or In Hiding though
Would've much preferred Angel over Strangest Tribe
Really really good show, sound was much better than I thought it'd be
