    What an amazing show! I've felt that Vancouver's shows have been a bit lacking on the past few tours - usually kicking things off for the tour, so not in full swing yet. I was also worried last night wouldn't be as good as some of the most recent shows as they'd be saving it up for Seattle.

    But HOLY CRAP they kicked our ass last night. I was about 10 rows of people deep between Jeff and Mike and the crowd was great - shout out to the guy from Seattle (formerly of New York) that drove up for the show and the girl that few in from Hawaii. Great meeting Pearl Jam fans from all over.

    Have they had the cameras and screens going all tour?

    One of best shows ever. Energy. They were en fuego. Ed couldve played safety for the hawks last night.
    Couple questions? It seemed like they changed the arrangement for even flow and it rocked. Did anyone else notice that?
    And the improv before porch. Was it a slow porch like slow lukin from msg 2010? What a show. Telling that perhaps best show of tour had 4 binaural songs. What a masterpiece. See you in seattle!

    What an unbelievable night, my first.

    It's gonna be amazing!

    Wow, wow, wow!!! What a fantastic show :D

    High points:
    - Mother just about made me cry
    - our new friend who got up to the front with his four empty cups and brought back some of Eddie's wine to share with our whole new little crew in GA
    - the awesome ten clubbers we met in GA! What a great bunch of people to spend an evening with :thumbup:

    Show was amazing... Binaural and Riot Act are my favorite albums...

    More to come. Exhausted!

    Ill say the improv was stellar. Stone was having guitar issues, very briefly, and Ed started a improv that was 2-3 min long and had vocals, full band by the end, and actually sounded really great.

    Last true improv was Berlin 2012 and I was there for that too!!

    High Energy! That's my summation. GA crowd was rocking out, and looking around the place once or twice I saw nothing but standing people singing and fist pumping.
    Matt Cameron is a machine. EV joked during one bit about Matt being nuts cause he actually jogs 5 miles on the same day as the show! He had a short rest in the first set during After Hours and at the start of first encore, but otherwise pedal to the metal. The second encore alone would kill most mortals.
    Band just seems to enjoy themselves so much and it is really infectious. I don't think I've seen a happier crowd, let alone one as loud. Earliest comments after break 1 from EV were something like "we all still go to see bands, and it still amazes us how good you can make us feel".

    Great setlist, great crowd, GA, great performance has this one as more enjoyable than Van '09, but I think the boots will drop it down a notch because of the odd f/u, Stones guitar dropping out quite a bit (but Mike sure stepped up) during GSMF and again during YM, and Ed's voice was pretty shot until half way through opening set; Calgary cold/dry air will do that to us seaside folk.

    Pic of the setlist. I can tell Gone is crossed off as is Indifference. What are the other two? I can't make them out.

    This show......my god. This was an incredible night.


    Seeing PJ cover Mother live, when the guitar kicks in, is one of the greatest things I've ever witnessed.

    Amazing opening, had never got Can't Keep before.


    It's so true, the sentiment in a previous post. How this band can keep doing this stuff to you....its just amazing. I've seen a few shows now, and they truly floor you every time....

    This one was one for the books....Possibly, song for song, my favourite setlist I've ever seen played live.

    Bring on Seattle!

    this plus 1000 :D I could not believe what I was hearing...

    Seeing photos of the poster really doesnt do it justice. It has like a glossy metallic sheen in person, its really stunning.

    I'm at a loss for words. After getting through with the ridiculous sideshow that is the
    line out front my fiancé and I walk down to none other then 3rd row center. This being my 3rd show and
    my fiancées 1st it was already memorable before the first song. After a drunk girl caused a bit of a commotion things just went stratospheric. The two of us being able to have a chance to "have a moment" with Eddie and the guys and then have Ed search out my fiancé and toss her a tambourine. Pure magic. She told me that he looked her in the eyes and pointed to her when she was singing. I know we all think that but I was giving him the best concert sign language possible to tell him it's her first show haha. Either way this was mind altering. Pure magic. These guys are more amazing every show. Oh I may add in quickly they were the icebreaker that led to us getting married next year and even using future days as our wedding song. I'm so happy
    Oh awesome! i was the girl who was in front of/next to you guys who congratulated your fiance on her first show, lol. I was really stoked for her! She was blown away and it was fun to see - I was happy when Ed tossed her the tambourine. :D Aside from that bitch trying to lie her up to the rail, the people in that area were all pretty fantastic. Super into it the whole show and really respectful too. I couldn't believe that I was third from the rail dead centre in front of Ed. My mind is blown. :D

    Yes, as everyone else has already said perfectly, that show was INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!! I had the fucking time of my life!! Loved seeing them all having so much fun up there! Yes, there were a few technical difficulties, and a couple fuck ups, but they were handled with real charm and humour, to the point where it actually added to the show, no joke. And the setlist... :shock: And I got to hear/sing It's Okay!!! :clap: That was one of my dream songs. Mother was stunning, MYM kicked ass, so did Infallible, Breakerfall, God's Dice, Oceans was a perfect opener, Black (anyone else notice Ed say very quietly, almost privately, at the end of Black when we had all been singing, "you guys are cool."? :D )...... ugh, and all the others were great too! My highlights were the whole setlist. :lol: It's cool that everyone is pumped for all the new songs now, and know all the words and everything. And good job Vancouver. What a crowd!! :clap: I'm STILL feeling pretty jacked up, lol.
    With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata

    Highlights... Oceans (completed Ten for me), Breakerfall, Thumbing My Way, Gonna See My Friend, In Hiding, Footsteps

    They were on fire. 20th show for me and I have never seen the band have that much fun, smiling and laughing all night. I was also a huge fan of everyone (at least in my section) pre-singing a lot of the tags, to which Ed just went with it and tagged almost everything.

    I was about two/three people back, dead center (pretty sure I was around mr_perfect and PJ_Soul) and the Georgia Straight jacked my picture today haha... http://www.straight.com/blogra/544116/c ... gers-arena

    Crowd around me was the best, everyone was awesome and respectful and sang their asses off.

    Furthermore... taking a swig from Eddie's wine bottle was definitely a life mission completed. :D
