04. Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In a Small Town
05. Corduroy
06. Got Some

He talks about the various kinds of love, like first love and the love in the early part of relationship and love that lasts for years.

He also lists the kind of ID that will and won't work. When he gets to gun registration ID working while student ID's won't the crowd cheers a little and some boos are heard as well. Ed says that "in Florida that comment got a much bigger reception. Florida and Arizona seem to be in some sort of bizarre arms race with each other."

18. Given To Fly-(dedicated to a friend of Mike McCready's named Steve Gleason)
(Ed mentions that "many of the songs we wrote and recorded were done right here in Atlanta with local hero Brendan O'Brien who is here tonight and is a great friend. This is what we secretly call him behind his back. The Fixer")
19. The Fixer
20. Rearviewmirror
Encore Break 2
(Ed thanks the audience for behaving so well. He points out a young boy that is down in front and comments that if kids and small women can be down in front and be okay it says a lot about the audience taking care of each other. He then, jokingly, asks the boy if he would like some wine, Ed goes onto to thank all of the friends they have acquired over the years the band has been together. He also thanks the local crew that worked the festival and the bands long time touring crew. He says the band has been together for a long time and it speaks to their friendship that have never broken up or had really hateful arguments. He introduces the band and says he hates to repeat a story but he wants to tell the story about watching PJ20 with a friend who commented that "Jeff Ament is such a bad ass" and Ed couldn't agree more.)

The wind did not ruin the sound in my opinion. I am kind of xenophobic and claustrophobic, so I did not go on the lawn with most of the other fans. I stood near the portable bathrooms for disabled/handicapped fans. The view was still fine, and I had a good time overall, I can not complain.
It was pretty funny when Eddie offered that young kid some wine, a good laugh by all.

Not a bad setlist.
Thanks Sea.
Wish they would've played a few more of their own, and maybe started a touch earlier, but Ed made my night when he ran down the barricade during porch and shook my hand right in front of the soundboard. It's as cool as you imagine.
Thanks for coming back to Atlanta, we're due for 2 nights next year, but for the love of God pleeeeeeeeease play the Gwinnett Arena. It's a perfect size at around 14k (think Grand Rapids or Columbia), and is worth the fight to get there over the cavernous Phillips arena, curfewed Lakewood or Alpharetta, and is clearly the best music venue in Atlanta. Foos last Nov there was amazing, The Who there in Nov will be also.

J had a solid slot about 25 or so yards back from the screen on Mine's side. It wasn't perfect, but it was all I needed.
Every bone in my body hurts, but for Pearl Jam I would do it all again right now.
I really guess I forgot why I hate festivals so much tho... now I remember. So many assholes in the crowd pushing. Not dancing, just pushing. 3 dickwads pushed me aside and then just stood right in front of me about 3/4 of the way through the first set... bathroom situation was horrible too. No line of site down the middle was weird... Ugh. Easily my least favorite show... I forgot to remember that I wasn't going to a Pearl Jam show. That will definitely be the last festival for me if there's a band I really want to see.

Sorry I do not. Just my memories.

I have to agree about this being my last festival. I'm just too old.lol I was front left side row and stood there for 8 hours and because it was Pearl Jam it was worth it, but I don't think I'll ever go through that again. I went to Jazz fest and was front row by the gates just like this time and it was a totally different atmosphere. People seem to think that if they push hard enough you are just going to move out of the way. Sorry, not going to happen. I almost fell out three times from all the pressure and body heat. Great things about the show was that Mike was phenom and he came out on our side and ran through and played. I don't think Eddie ran out on our side, but he did come out on the end stage a couple of times. Some lucky fans got tamourines and one girl got a set list. All in all great show as always for me. I hope I get to see them in a sit down arena or stadium tour.
Hey, aren't you my new friend from Charlotte? Sounds like our situation in the area on Stone's side. Those 3 shitheads showed up and started smoking right in our faces, yelling at all the wrong times...it definitely changed the vibe of the nice group of fans around us.
In general, though, the show was solid... I've been jonesing for a show since my last one in May 2010. They totally delivered and sounded great despite a few glitches with the sound. Loved seeing Stone with a smile on his face for most of the show, especially when they first came out and saw the huge crowd.
Whoever held up the sign that said, "It doesn't get Eddie Vedder than this," is awesome. So perfect
As usual, I'm having that post-show impulse to quit my job and travel around seeing Pearl Jam shows...if only. Stupid grown-up responsibilities.
Side note about the festival itself...beautiful park, great location, but holy shit, what a mess. Oversold and under-prepared. Outside Lands was not nearly as bad when PJ was there, nor was Firefly earlier this year. I won't come again unless it's my only chance for a PJ show all year.

This was my 24th show and my husband's first and he had never listened to PJ prior to us meeting (a little less than 2 yrs.). I believe he has come "our" side after seeing PJ live
I wish the 11pm noise curfew wouldn't have applied last night bc we could've had more PJ
I got a shirt, poster and 4 stickers (1 for me and 3 for ppl on here).
PS: hello to Stacy on MARTA from NC (or was it SC?) who flew in for the show and hello to the guy with his 2 daughters (14 and 9) who was from one of the Carolinas as well but from LA! Sry I didnt get your name. How you all had fun!

see you in missoula!
PS if anyone has a poster they wanna sell, shoot me a pm.
Ed offering the kid some wine was funny. And I think Ed said the kid asked for Tequila instead? LOL.
Yeah, the bathroom lines were ridiculous, but re-entries were allowed, so I and others went outside to the park bathrooms. The merch was "meh." The ferris wheel was fun. And somehow I never got lost trying to my find my peeps. (Thanks balloon landmarks!) Basically this venue worked for me; Piedmont park is really pretty; but reaallly not in a hurry to go to another festival. Festivals... :roll:
Hoping to see some good vids on youtube; we could only see the monitors.
Oh, yeah...the nonstop walking around!!! Where the eff were these people going??? And the people chatting about nothing. I tried to remind myself that not everyone's there for PJ, but couldn't help but be annoyed... :roll:
