OMG! I am just floored by the entire show, Joseph Arthur with Mike, Matt, and Jeff, the impromptu song song by ed, the fact that they kept playing after the house lights went on. The energy of the crowd the energy of the band, when Mike and Jeff chased each other around the stage...I swear there was '90 s Ed' for a bit there. Thank you for an experience to remember and cherish for a lifetime.

CROJAM95

Un fuckin real

God damn I love this band

Insane

Thank u guys

Here's to 20 more

No Coder

ALRIGHTY!!! When you put the 2 shows together, night one makes more sense.

WOW what a setlist for Night 2 - VERY ENVIOUS of everyone who attended. Thank you PJ for the last 20 years, may there be many more to come!!!! :!: :!: :!: :!: :!: :!: :!: :!:

AndiM

Brilliant show. The only minor (!) complaint: I would have traded "Hungerstrike" and "Reach Down" for "All those Yesterdays" and "Crown of Thornes", after they were skipped yesterday. Playing Hungerstrike two shows in a row ... Don't know. Seems to take the mythic aura a bit away from it. But anyways: Great show, good setlist and a lot of fun.

Special greetings to the two American soccer fans behind us (201 SS if my mind still works after this long day): Jürgen Klinsmann still sucks at tactics , but maybe it will work out, hehe.

PJ-Cubs

Awesome show. The band and crowd energy was off the chart.

Sonic Reducer, Love Boat Captain and No Way were highlights for me. Ed improv song was cool too.

number1PJfan

Loved it all. Every bit. Night one and night two. They all had their significance and place. Thank you so much for being who you are and sharing it with all of us fans. Here's to 20 more years!

Me too... anyone know what got skipped from the setlist tonight? I know they skipped at least one...

My highlights were Wash, Love Boat Captain, Habit (awesome seeing him play with Liam on Habit both in Liam's set an PJ's), Pilate, All Night, Nothingman.

Very nice weekend - good mix of rare and greatest hits and the ToTD reunion was awesome even if today's was a bit of a repeat in the encore.

jwrg26

Great main set good 1st encore chris Cornell again slowed the show way down for me alive etc great. Never seen matt play so hard, good energy but missed on the encores both nights.

SM10080

I'll be the one to say it: That wasn't worth $1300.

veddertown

Good setlist again, really compliments the previous night. Amazing lack of Binaural but they had a lot of different ideas to get through I guess. I don't know which night looks better? Here's to PJ and 20 years anyway....

Spin_the_Blck_Circle

Great show! My wife and I enjoyed last night (had great seats-102 L 122- dead center). This is our 10th show in the last 10 years. Very happy with the set list Saturday night.

Tonight we had 101 row K. A little harder to see, but still great. Incredible set lists over the two nights. We both love Chris Cornell, but we could have done with only one night of the Temple of the Dog set list. Sort of killed the momentum tonight. However, even with that said, we were very stoked to hear My Way, Pilate, Smile and Wash among others. Overall a great two night list. If I had only been able to attend one night, it would have been tough to feel satisfied. Very fortunate to have made the trip from southern California.

In closing, Alpine was great and the staff was super friendly!

slightofjeff

Maybe there was some argument about Night 1.

If Night 2 wasn't epic, then there is no such thing.

Gern Blansten

Great Show

In my opinion the best song of the night was Habit with Liam Finn....just blew the doors off that one

As mentioned above...I was a little surprised that Cornell repeated two songs from yesterday....I love Cornell but another four songs?

dmaradona10

Man, that setlist looks legendary! PJ really put it all out there for the fans. Can't wait to listen to the concert when the boot comes out.

shadowcast

Great crowd tonight. RIght off the bat there was that feeling that this was going to be a good night. Easy top 2 ever for me. Only thing better was the first time I saw them (Soldier Field). 10 Club hooked it up tonight! Seen them 23 times first time Mike side for me!! Peace to the two guys to my right from Japan. Cool dudes.

THANK YOU PJ!!!!!!

Now that's more like it.

Last night was good. Tonight was great. Great sound, great set, great crowd. Even "Habit," maybe my least favorite Pearl Jam song, brought a huge smile to my face as Liam Finn's vocals and dancing breathed new life into it. The cameos fit a lot better tonight than last night, I thought.

This was my 44th show and the most-played PJ song that I had never seen live before tonight was "Wash." I have a new most-played PJ song that I've never seen live, but I won't know what it is until I get home to L.A. and check my list.

slightofjeff

This was my 19th show. There were six (6) songs I'd never heard live before. That's just Pearl Jam songs. Not counting covers. Not even counting Ed's improv song. Not counting TOD stuff.

Six Pearl Jam songs,new to someone who considers himself a touring veteran.

Holy fuck, I love this band.

I said it after Night 1, and I'll reiterate it after Night 2, if you somehow went to PJ20 and left unfulfilled, it's just time to quit listening to live music. Nothing will ever be good enough for you.

And if you can't at least enjoy your favorite band looking so fucking happy, you're probably just a miserable prick who hates his life.

If you're just following setlists, looking at the names of songs on a computer screen, you have no idea what went down here this weekend. None. And, I guess, we can't explain it to you. But you missed out.

This is the best fanview I've read.

Another good night, but standing at the lawn so far from the stage sucked. Alpine Valley-type arenas are not for me, I guess.

Best songs for me were daughter and spin the black cirkle (was really needed after a period of more mundane songs)

Oh, and star spangled banner is a crappy way to end YB. Especially at such an international event.

But overall PJ20 was a great weekend :-)

clucas40

AMAZING!! Both PJ20 shows were beyond fantastic... loved both shows!! Thank you Pearl Jam for giving us such an awesome weekend, we feel so lucky to have been able to travel over from Australia and experience this sensational weekend with our two sons (Jett 8 and Hunter 6) it's been a total blast! Thank you... thank you... thank you! You guys are the best!!!!!

I'm still not sure if we were in Wisconsin or Michigan(as the hoodie said), but either way... it was in America.

Pretty angry for someone who just saw a great show. Tonight was amazing - can't we just keep that vibe alive.

umm, Jimi Hendrix, familiar with him in Norway?

22nd show tonight...

1) a magical weekend. 2 different shows, but the fact is, nonone should or could complain. Especially after tonight.

2) 20 years means they can play or do what they want, in my opinion. This weekend was as much for them as for us. No beef with anything from
The weekend.

3) show highlights: no way, habit (not a huge fan of the song, but Liam turned it up a notch or 6) new world (for my wife), smile with hansard was great, satan's bed was Ed at his best and STBC was awesome.

Couldn't ask for a better birthday weekend. Love to my family and friends for making it all happen.

See you all soon!

Actually, I was hoping you could explain it to me. If you were there, take me through why it was so good.

Maybe it was the communal energy of the whole place ... especially in the pavilion. Every crowd participation moment was amplified tenfold. The energy was unbelievable, on stage and off.

Mike running laps behind the drum riser during Spin the Black. Ed and Jeff coordinating leaps during various songs. Stone refusing to play No Way, before finally being goaded into it by the fans. Ed's improv song, which was basically about the band lasting for so long ("I'm so glad we made it, to the part where things got good.") Chris Cornell knocking the TOD stuff out of the fucking park. Matt fucking Cameron. The tailgating in the parking lot where, amid the beer and brats, you heard Ed's voice emanating from every single car stereo system. The hug exchanged between Jeff and Ed behind the riser after the show that kind of brought a tear to my eye.

There really was a true anniversary vibe running through the whole affair. From the choice of songs, to the special guests, to the remarks Ed made ...it really was a celebration of how lucky we are that the band we all love, the band that's gotten us all through so much shit, the band that's been there for the down times, and the deaths in the family, and the breakups and the marriages and the births of our children, the band that always seems to be there when we need them, that in many ways has been the most stable relationship in our lives ... that band is still around, even after all these years.

It doesn't happen to every band. We are damn lucky it happened to ours. Every second of this weekend underscored that fact to me.

That's why you had to be there. And why some standard show in Saskatoon, while sure to be awesome, just won't be the same.

I know you guys don't want to hear it, but if you weren't here this weekend, you missed out on a special experience that won't be repeated. Not until PJ40, at least.

Yes, we are. Still a crappy ending to an otherwise perfect song.
