"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
They opened with Release....for me, everything after that was just gravy. THAT made the night. It was what I was hoping for for months. Then following it up with Evolution, Corduroy and Fixer? Easily the best start to a PJ show I've personally attended.
One or two nice surprises of sorts....Pilate was great. Half Full was cool to hear, was never one of my favourites, but nice touch by Ed the end reflecting the light off his guitar....cool effect. Never saw Jeremy before live, so happy with that. And Porch was stunning. As was State Of Love & Trust.
Yeah, the Come Back dedication was a nice touch too....but I still don't like the song. And seeing it live here didn't really change my mind. Insignificance....grand but again never a favourite. But these two were the only ones that didn't completely excite me....everything else was top notch.
Overall, really happy. Going tomorrow aswell, so will be able to compare. Nothing from No Code tonight, so really hope they throw something in on the second night.
Wow!
Incredible set list and an awesome show. Completely surpassed my expectations with so many highlights; Pilate, Come Back, Nothingman, Jeremy and State of Love and Trust made my night.
Thank you Pearl Jam

congrats on your first post and second show!!!!
No, he didn't mention the guy by name....just pointed him out in the crowd and and said something to the effect that "...this song is a dedication for this guy here....can't remember if you said you were coming tomorrow night...but we'll do it now just in case something terrible happens....you never know, life is fragile so we'll play it now" words to that effect anyway.

I was a little bit disappointed in the crowd, to be honest. In the States, we hear about these legendary European crowds all the time. This crowd was solid, and would be on par with a Boston or Philly crowd, for instance, but didn't blow me away.
but not an nyc crowd
I'm reading comments by people that weren't there that it was a short set. Fuck that. You weren't there, it was amazing. 26 songs? Not a bad way to start the tour.

Great gig though. Didnt notice the Cornwall chat. And also took Junior for a piss during Even Flow (managed to get back before it finished!) but all in all, a solid gig. Hope tomorrow is as good, though I have no worries on that score!
The show was great, setlist was solid (little short, but arent the all?), the crowd showed lot of energy. Really looking forward to see them again tomorrow.
See you down at the pub for a pint tomorrow, cheers ;-)

DID EDDIE PLAY GUITAR?!?!?! I'm assuming he's A-OK and played on all those songs he usually does, Porch, Just Breathe???? Checked a bit of the photo stream but didn't see him holding a guitar in any...
Ed was his usual self, running round the stage, jumping all on the show. Played guitar. Nearly got hit in the face by Jeff's bass during Porch. They were on fire tonight, didn't feel like the start of the tour, felt like they were straight into the groove.
