    One minute into hearing them play Release. I got on my phone and bought a ticket to Wrigley. Can't wait!!!

    If this is true, that is awesome. Checkmate.

    another first timer here! LOVED the show. Like most I can name a few songs I would have liked to hear instead of a few the played but oh well. I thought the played the crap out of Alive, Corduroy and Comfortably Numb. Release and Masters were insane. Black with 40,000 tiny lights swaying is a moment I will always remember. Thanks PJ and thanks Fenway! Lets do it again soon!!!

    Love relistening to Masters of War, Strangest Tribe, Society, and I've got a feeling over and over again. Great night!

    Those were two F'ing amazing shows!!!

    It took me a little while to register everything, and a lot of folks already hit it on these threads, but I really need to post something after that experience...

    These were shows 12 & 13 for me and they're right at the top of my list. I also started at the Springfield MA show back in '94 with some of you on here and what a ride it's been! Fenway is right up there with the 3rd show of " the Experiment" (Mansfield '03) and Hartford '13 for me. Every show I've been to has been amazing, but there are some really special ones that come along the way, and these both had that magic...

    I have to thank Marc for posting a thread on GTF about a ticket trade and then making it happen. I had tix for night 1, but nothing for night 2, and needed to be at both shows. My wife ended up backing out on Friday's show, so the trade goes down, and it worked out perfectly! Man we saw a couple great shows!!! Section A seats for both nights, Mike's side on Friday and Stone's side on Sunday.

    On to the shows...

    I really consider both of these shows as a package deal, so I'm posting this on both threads.

    Highlights for me on Night 1

    Walking on to the field the first night was crazy! I've been to a few ball games at Fenway over the years, but seeing the field from that perspective, I'll never forget it!

    The boys were on fire, giving everything they had, good spirits, and just f'ing ripping! Night 1 was Mike's night for solos, insane!!!

    Strangest Tribe?!?! It was beautiful! One of my favorite songs from Lost Dogs.

    Release, Faithful, Black, Comfortable Numb, Masters of War, SOLAT....Incredible!!!

    Only regret, I wished they pushed the curfew a little more on Fri, would've loved to hear Red Mosquito or really anything more they wanted to play. It seemed like they wanted to keep going. On to Sunday...

    Highlights on Night 2

    I loved the slow start, both nights for that matter.

    Off He Goes..my white whale (not really eve that rare), but caught it on the 2nd song! High 5's were flying, smiles, and all I can say is awesome! Mike's white guitar that randomly comes out? That thing might be the real white whale! It looks like it's from another era. He ripped it during Off He Goes, not as crazy as Fri nights solos, but it was early in the set and it sounded great!

    NAIS, Nothing Man, In Hiding, Sirens with extended outro and crowd chanting, Not for you and Modern Girl tag (love that tag), Unthought Known... F'ing sick!

    First Encore was insane, Yellow Moon with that little sliver of a moon hanging out over the backstop behind home plate, Angel (I've only heard a couple times on record a long time ago, but it's a rare gem), and Footsteps!!! Another White Whale for me and a classic! : )

    2nd encore gets even crazier?!?? Smile and Love Reign! I remember getting nervous with the curfew approaching, and didn't want the show to stop, but they pushed it close to the limit before 11 PM hit. J Mascis stepping out while Mike was running all over the place playing everything during RITFW (so fun to watch and J rips - Western Mass guy), YLB to end (my favorite closer), and Mike's SSB?!?!!!

    I'll be 42 next month, and that was one of the best weekends I've had in my entire life. Thanks to the great fans I shared it with, thanks to the crew and the to 10c for all that you do, and most importantly thanks to the guys that make this all happen and why we're all here...thank you Pearl Jam (Ed, Stone, Jeff, Mike, Matt, and Boom). Thank you!!!!

    Until the next time friends...

    ps - Please release the boots so I can relive that whole experience again! Cheers!!

    Not sure if they're going to play the whole concert this afternoon, but I've just caught the first five songs on Ten Club Radio. So excited to catch this, because I wanted to make it to Boston for this show and couldn't make it. Sounds fabulous so far! "Release" into "Long Road" gave me chills sitting at my desk eating lunch.
  • OnWis97OnWis97 St. Paul, MN Posts: 4,814

    Loved Release into Long Road, who doesn't?

    Strangest Tribe was an absolute treat!

    Masters of War sounded rugged. I enjoyed the distorted guitar on this.

    Was nice to hear a new cover in the Aerosmith song. Didn't know what it was so I liked it.

    As always, All Those Yesterdays was an amazing performance. I wish they'd play it more.

    Crowd was great. Good vibe!

    Thank you Boston for being a great host city!

    This is pretty much what i am thinking with the exception of the Aerosmith statement. I did know the song and feel there are better songs they coulda picked...

    I also loved Matt jumping the gun a song early on Grievance. Once you've been to enough shows, things like that are fun.

    I did not really like the fast I am a Patriot...I like older versions better.

    And breaking a 13-year drought on Baba O'Riley; awesome.

    I also LOVE Fenway...I've been to a few games there but never a concert.

    I think I prefer the first night to the second night after listening to both bootlegs. Both shows were incredible in the moment, but I'm leaning toward N1 - perhaps due to the presence of Yield songs.

    Within the first 3 songs played at Fenway (night 1), I had this strange sense of dé·jà vu. I knew that Release, Long Road & Small Town were also the opening songs on night 1 of Worcester back in 2013... but it turns out that these 3 songs were played in the exact same order at both shows. Not sure if it was intentional or just coincidence, but I thought it was cool

    Right when Long Road started I called Small Town next in my head. Could not have just been a coincidence and those are 3 great songs to kick off a show imo.

    I know, what are the chances of that happening for the only 2 PJ shows I've seen?! I was beginning to wonder if they were repeating the whole Worcester show :-) Fenway was awesome, so glad I got to see State of Love & Trust, Given To Fly & Black played live

    Kind of funny, but I didn't even realize it until someone posted it on here. I was at both and front row center at Worcester #1. I was in another world at both shows...just so into it at the time I didn't even notice...ha!

    Dam listening to Grievence on the boots. They played the shit out of that song. Well done Pearljam. Wow
  • EB218946EB218946 Posts: 3,809
    Also love the wasted reprise.
  • BF25394BF25394 Posts: 2,984
    Why is the "official" set list for this at https://pearljam.com/tour/history/show/boston-1 missing several songs?  It is missing Sleeping By Myself, I Am A Patriot and State Of Love And Trust?  (It also shows W.M.A. and Another Brick In The Wall (Part II) as distinct songs instead of tags, but that's a choice, I guess.)
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    What a great night...

    During the break Ed chats with the audience and has some Polaroids of the crowds he took on the first tour displayed on the video screens. He says the first time they played in Boston at a club called Axis. He doesn’t have pictures from that show because he took pictures of security guys beating up a kid. He laughs over the security guy trying to tear the Polaroids but he didn’t get the pictures back. He also shows Polaroids from when he snuck into Fenway because he just HAD to get in.
