Fu*king mindblowing show. The energy is just exploding. And the band feels so "right there" with the audience, so all-in.

Yokohama '03

Love Boat Captain starts this one, followed by Even Flow. The set continues at good pace with Save You, Cropduster and Corduroy. Rival gets another appearance (a shame they don't play this much nowadays). Good performances of You Are and Untitled/MFC with Grievance and Go closing the main set. The 1st encore fires off with Last Exit and Evolution followed by the always reliable Down. Small Town & Daughter slow things down before Alive closes the encore. The band come back out for a brilliant Indifference and Baba O'Riley closes the show down.

Tokyo '03

This starts the only way a Pearl Jam show should - with Release opening. As ever, a sublime version. Can't Keep follows and works quite well after Release I think. Next up, 3rd in the set is Even Flow setting the standard early on. Dissident makes a welcome appearance and Lukin/Not For You is just excellent; always love that combo and its nice to hear Not For You end with the album outro rather than Modern Girl. An awesome Blood closes out the main set. Bu$hleaguer kicks off the 1st encore, followed by Know Your Rights. There is a beautiful version of Black and after U, Breath pops up. And its a quality showing, I always love hearing this on a boot. Vastly under-rated. A superb RVM closes the 1st encore. Ed opens up the 2nd encore with a great Don't Be Shy and then Soon Forget. Last Kiss follows before Mike gets to work on Yellow Ledbetter. You think that is the end of the show but Stone pulls out the opening bars of Alive and its a great way to end a very good show.

Amsterdam 1 2012.

This is a good show and a great boot. Outside of the first encore, what a great set list. The show kicks off the epic Amsterdam 2012 shows with high energy and with one of the main highlights of the show with Interstellar Overdrive, Corduroy, Why Go, Given To Fly, and Brain Of J.....just awesome. A nice In Hiding thrown in the middle of the set and a great closing to the main set with Rats into a great combo of Lukin, Not For You, and then with what I thought a great combo of Better Things into Nothingman. The last two songs of the main set are meh, The Fixer and DTE. Like I said, the first encore doesn't do anything for me, but it's made up by the brilliant second encore with Smile, Green Disease, Love O'er Me, Black, RITF, and the always superb Indifference. Excellent start to the Amsterdam shows of 2012.

Osaka '03.

What a boot!!

Oceans kicks things off, making its 1st appearance of the tour (1 of 3 times for 2003 no less). Ghost is the 4th song before Even Flow and Grievance switch things up. Off He Goes is next and is fantastic as always followed by Wishlist. Ed tells the crowd 'making it up' before the band launch into Half Full. Once follows before we get the "Man" trilogy of Nothingman, Leatherman and Betterman. A superb Insignificance follows. I Am Mine and Thumbing My Way are clubbed together with Faithful gets its 1st airing in 2003. Porch (with Hey Ho shoutout) and Save You finish a great 20 song main set.

The 1st encore picks up with the same tempo with Breakerfall and Corduroy. After that we get a rare Thin Air followed by Small Town and a great State Of Love And Trust. To close the 1st encore All Or None also gets its 1st appearance of the tour. As expected its beautiful (even with Ed forgetting some lyrics). Ed starts the 2nd encore with a solo version of Last Kiss, really stripped back on electric guitar. He then introduces each band member before they launch into Smile, which is also getting a 1st appearance of 2003!!!

As with the Tokyo show, Alive is left til the end to close out what is a very very good show. Of the 4 Japan boots so far, this is easily the best. Great show.
