Early set list thanks to “twolegsyield”

This was a question that I posed in another thread, but got no takers--when was the last time they omitted Black, Even Flow and Ledbetter (not to mention small town, Daughter, corduroy) from the same setlist?

just got home and all i can say is wow, i need to get the bootleg of this.
The boys were in awesome form, very loud, my ears are still ringing.
Highlighs for me would be, seeing I got shit, indifference, immortality, three of my favourite songs live in concert.
I just wish they just wouldn't stop playing.

I have smashing pumpkins tomorrow night, hopefully they can compete with the high benchmark pearl jam have set

Hippyvik

For me this was one of the most awesome PJ gigs I've been to, I've seen them at their worst and IMHO tonight, there best. It was nice to not hear the same songs, tonight was uplifting and made me smile and cry all at once:D

Great set list - at least one song from every album and a special focus on Yield tonight - Lowlight, Faithfull, GTF, DTE.

Also like the "revved" up version of PT. Had not seen it live since 2000.

All in all - a great show. After seeing 7 shows in 2006, including Boston I&II and Gorge I&II, I wasn't sure Wembley would live up - but it did. And I'm glad, because I scheduled a business trip to the Uk to coincide with this show.

The band was on fire and Ed seemed to have picked a lot songs where he got to wail away with his voice and on the guitar.

I had seen the Boom/Mike "back and forth" on Crazy Mary at Gorge II, but I thought this was just as good, if not better.

Two drawbacks - acoustics in Wembley Arena suck and the floor area close to the stage got a little scary. At one point, I was not in control of my movements - the crowd was pushing me (and everyone else) in all directions.

I last saw them at Wembley in 2000 - and this was a better, more fun show.

Thanks.
Dogman

Force Of Nature

just got home. tonight was amazing!!

Low Light, I Got Shit, Faithful, Immortality, Down, Present Tense, SOLAT, Porch, Inside Job, No More, Indifference.

All amazing songs i have always wished to hear. Was expecting corduroy, even flow, black, daughter etc but hapily surprised they werent played. The band new this show was special (1 off uk date with fan club floor), so the setlist had to match. As each song began i was soo incredibly happy. This was my third show, after reading 06 and paris 06, and had heard soo many new songs to me.

I'll will leave it at that now but want to say thanks to pearl jam for an incredible night, please dont wait too long before you come back again.

ps. this show was far to good to not be a bootleg, please say there is one out there soon.

StarchildHypocrethes

Amazing.

It's taken 13 years, but I finally got to see Pearl Jam live and my god was it ever worth the wait! I still have goosebumps.

Absolutely fantastic set, a brilliantly unexpected selection including some of my favourite tunes out there. The band absolutely rocked and really seemed to enjoy themselves.

Have to give a special shout to Mini (at least I think that was her name, my sincerest apologies if I got it wrong) my new Finnish friend, who guided me through my virgin experience like a true pro!

A massive thanks to the band for making my first PJ concert as memorable as they could, but also a huge thanks to all the fans too, who managed to create one of the best atmosphere's I've seen at a live show. Top stuff!

Let's just hope it's not another 13 years until the next!

I've seen them in LA, MSG, United Center in Chicago and I was at Soldier Field in 95 and I have never had so much fun in the pit as I did since then. Saying it was "a little scary" is a total understatment. It was survival of the fittest, so fan beware if you just gotta be up front. It feels like I just got done with a tackle football game or a brutal rugby match. As I told one taller girl, any girl who survived tonight gets my utter respect. The pit kicked my ass and then some. It swayed and swelled and pushed and pulled (Push Me Fuckin Pull Me should've been played) There were numerous times where everyone lost their feet and it was like a pro football line pulling to the right or to the left. The setlist was so tits. They finally played an authentic kick ass show without the standard dozen mailing it in greatest hits. I had a sign to request Marker and they did it. I had one that said "Matt Cameron for Prime Minister" but after holding it up for a few seconds it got torn and thrown away from me. They were more on then they always are and it will definitely be a great boot that I'd more than recommend. The rest of these pit shows that anyone plans on being up front for better watch out. The Brits soccered up well, I can't wait for my Krauts! What a night!

Brisk.

im fucking knackered from touring europe for pj and sp but that was one fuck of a good show, im glad to see no jeremy, ledbetter or even flow. Event better it wasn't 06sy with lost insig, greiv , go animal etc for start.

aweesome

My Dad and I were in the seats and I have to say it was a little more relaxing up there, I think, but that reminds me of my first PJ show, last year in Madrid.

What a show! Simply ace

Doodlebug

What a night! My second (Reading '06 was the first) PJ gig even though I have been a fan since about 1993 (when I was the tender age of 14). They honestly blew me away and the atmosphere was great for Wembley Arena which can be a bit dry. State of Love and Trust, Crazy Mary and Keep on Rockin' in the Free World. What more can we ask for! Please come back again soon! But next time a note to the contingent of Portuguese fans -- leave the bloody flags at home!!

What a great show. So nice seeing them play non of the songs they 'always' play. I had a list of 4 songs before that i wanted to see and 2 of them were i got shit and faithfull, so to see those 2 in a row was amazing. this was also the loudest I've seen pearl jam, looking forward to when my ears stop ringing.

vedder_soup

oh my god, what a show, what a setlist.
will write moer tomorrow but it was amazing. 3rd row mikes side, squashed but not too pushy and mainly in control, poland crowd was 100 times worse.
no voice left, and i was soaking wet after the show. FUCKING AMAZING!

Early set list thanks to “twolegsyield”

What an insane gig. EVen Flow is no longer my 100% song!!!! Yessssss!!!!

I'm so glad that we got such a wide selection of incredible songs such as Long Road, Faithful, Immortality, Lowlight, MITS, I Got Shit, Down, SOLAT and Why Go while the radio hits regulars (Even Flow, Betterman, Black, Jeremy, Elderly Woman, Corduroy and Ledbetter sat this one out. Just an incredible gig.

Take that festival shows!!!

Flo

just got home, ears still ringing, face still grinning

great setlist, wise choices

Indifference put a real lump in my throat

did anyone get any decent photos?

jrd

fuck me, that was superb.
just got back and had a shower and about to hit the sack...

one for the setlist geeks when was the last time they played a show with NONE of Even Flow, Jeremy, Black, Corduroy, Betterman, Daughter, Small Town, RVM, Animal, Go...?

having said that, you can't win 'em all, overheard on the way to the tube tonight, girlfriend to boyfriend "...i was hoping for more of the older stuff... guess i don't really like Pearl Jam..." :rolleyes:

*off to bed with ears ringing*

I second the flag comment! Some French dude waved a French flag in my face every 5 seconds seriously reducing my already restricted view until someone else kindly patted him on the head!

iwalke

just got back, this was the second time i've seen pearl jam live after reading last year and both were really amazing and different experiences for me.

was great seeing so many pearl jam fans out in the sun around wembley beforehand too, can't believe how old you guys are though! i'm 20 and felt really young

Gossard_Is_God

Just got home, this was probably my fav gig in terms of setlist variety. Eddies voice was fucking perfect,a nd they were all on top form.....and surprise..no EVEN FLOW . Indifference, SoLAT, Faithful, Crazy Mary...the boys gave us a hell of a treat tonight. Il get my pics up soon

Calum

WOW

3rd time seeing them, superb.
I seen them in London Astoria & Dublin.
The set list was great, alot of variety.
My dad ( a novice) couldnt stop clapping lol
I got 2 tees & a nice cap.. woo hoo. great night.

Can you people tell me why the old man Boom gets booed.....

Thanks

bertan

this was my second pj gig and it was a perfect setlist for that. my first was athens and i got most of the hits there, this time it was completely different and just in two shows, i heard most of the songs i wanna hear.

but i wouldn't want this to be my first show, it's a pretty rough setlist for a first show. most of us wanna hear black, jeremy, even flow etc. in our first ever pj gig

btw, playing present tense, state, why go, save you, and porch back to back was just too mean. i nearly had an heart attack can't wait for the boot

we're calling his name. BOOOOOm

but fucking wow. that was beyond any words i can use. just absolutely incredible.

Fantastic gig! Who got to drink from Eddies wine?

Highlights for me = crazy mary and indifference. Still got the indifference guitar doodle stuck in my head.

Slightly disappointed that they didn't play Black, as they didn't play it the first time I saw them (Reading), but hopefully i'll finally hear it at Werchter!

The first time I felt like an ethnic minority at a gig in my home country. Everyone I met or heard talkng was from a different country! It shows what kind of a loyal and international fan base pearl jam have!

noxtoby

Brisbane night 1 last year was the best form I've seen PJ in. Also the best setlist.

Before you rag on me, I'll let you know that I appreciated the 'list tonight, too - very much. Especially Present Tense.

But Brisbane was better.

I'll buy the Wembley bootleg if it's made available. In the meantime, I'd be happy to trade a Wembley audience recording for something I've got (PM me).

First week in the UK after moving from Australia. Pretty good start, I reckon.

Thanks PJ.

I was there. I'll say something about it after a sleep.

I was shouting "Kenneth!" People were looking at me, as if to say, "Who the fuck is Kenneth?"

Beck..

Fucking amazing gig,great set list, nice to hear some newer songs.
My ears are still ringing, left after rockin in the free world cos my brother was a moaning c--t, part from that it was top, well worth the 500 mile trip,Come back soon boys.

rollingstone423

lucky fuckin pricks- that setlists looks gold

olddirtydoggy

Great set, great night but the sound was pretty bad I thought with echo coming off the high structure on the rockier tracks. Its a shame they didn't play Manchester arena as the sound there is far superior. Set list was great for fanatics wanting to hear something different but in all honesty some of the songs like bu$hleaguer might have been better left out of the set, love the song to bits but not live.
New stuff sat well and the rarities were nice to hear. As far as the performance for a PJ set is concerned it was average (killer if it was any other band) Unfortunately they have set the bar so high for themselves due to the standards set in previous shows. Don't want to sound negative as I enjoyed the night so so much but certainly not one of the best I've seen.
Reading 2006 was definately better for me.
