Good Solid Setlist there with a Couple of surprises thrown in.

Loved the show, hated the crowd.
I was at the back of the front pit dead centre and crowd were rubbish back there with no atmosphere whatsoever. Pity, there were a lot (hell of a lot) of Ten Club tickets so expected more from the crowd. I'm sure some others will say it was better down at the very front but just my experience to share.

Still let's not take away from the great show. Let's hope Eddie's leg is better tomorrow!

Amazing how they play Who You Are and the setlist is called typical. Lol. That song alone makes it not typical at all let alone all the other rarities.

I love a Pearl Jam show.

Meeting old faces, meeting new faces. The hanging out, queuing. It's, for me, a special time.

To the people slam dancing...why? Seriously why? Go do it at the back away from people who don't want to be shoved, elbowed, rammed etc. if any of you do read this I wonder if you ever take the time to think about the other people around you. I'm big enough to look after myself. There were a lot of people getting crushed, young women, people a lot smaller than you. Next time, please take a moment to think of others. And go slam out back. Thank you.

Loved getting a Supersonic, it's fun. Footsteps always touches me deeply especially when as I'm brought back to the very many people I know who have self harmed 'scratched all over my arms'. Jeremy in light of more school shootings in the US breaks my heart.

Thank you to the band and crew. To Ed who was obviously in a lot of pain from Porch on. To all the friends, old and new.

Hasta mañana...

I have to agree with KC. Out of the entire first set, I only see 3 non-typical songs, Breakerfall, Who You Are, and Evacuation. Then Footsteps and thin air. So 5 out of 32 weren't played the hell out of during last years tour?

I completely disagree. 152 songs played last year. What else do u want?? I don't understand.
Light years?
Supersonic?
Sonic reducer?
Sleeping by Myself?
All played to death last year? Def not.

I'm guessing u won't be happy till there's a set filled with terrible songs like sweet lew and bugs so u can scratch them off your "list". Sorry fir being a little gruff I just get frustrated with the setlist complaining.

Not complaining just stating opinions. First show of the tour and everyone is losing their minds over this set. Again I would of loved to be there. No PJ show is bad. Next week this set list will be almost forgotten and everyone will be talking up the next "epic" show.

I think it's a really solid setlist. Just excited that they're still touring, to be honest.

Good solid opening night setlist for me. The Binaural songs, Who You Are and Footsteps take it a step higher and if you can't appreciate the fact that the setlist is made up with PJ's bread and butter songs then you probably should stop taking an interest in them. I expect they'll push the boat out a little more tomorrow night and put the icing on the cake for those attending both nights.

Veddertown said it best: solid show with some great highlights. If you don't like the bread and butter numbers...tough. See you tomorrow, and don't be late!

Well, veddertown, your metaphors suggest you have the munchies, so I guess we know what you've been doing in Amsterdam.

Posting mobile so it will be quick notes.

Came from San Francisco and had 3rd row Stone's side. Ed may have been slowed down by a noticable limp (he was in some obvious pain all night) but the band sounded great.

Crowd was really tame until Jeremy ... after that the floor let loose, notably during RVM.

Light Years was probably the best version I have ever heard them do ... which leads me to this .. the sound in the Ziggo Dome is *fantastic* ... just wow.

Saw Thin Air in Oakland last year and so glad I got to hear it again ... just a great song.

Got a chuckle out of Wishlist as Ed changed "Camaro's hood" to "bicycle's hood" ... if you've never been here, the bike culture is crazy ... I've nearly been clipped at least 5 times by bikes because you can't tell the bike lanes from the sidewalks ... and everyone is on a bike. EVERYONE.

Ed mentioned all the bridges in Amsterdam and said Evacuation was dedicated to that as it's a song with 3 bridges.

Was stoked to get Sonic Reducer .... it's been 20 years and 35+ shows since I've heard that.

Lot of fun, the people here (and from all around Europe) are fantastic, love seeing how much passion they have (tip of the cap to the Italians on the rail by Stone) ... So, great show even while dealing with Ed's handicap ... see y'all tomorrow.

Well, it just happens I was sweating my ass off at work in a hot kitchen here in Scotland while some of my friends enjoyed watching this show. Unfortunately I will only make Leeds this year (hopefully) so will reserve some metaphors for after that. No munchies for me though. Clean lifestyle for me now in my wiser years. Funny to think there were first timers at this show who already have heard twice as many Binaural songs as I have in six shows. Hope you Amsterdammers enjoy tomorrow and if you read this a big slightly belated happy birthday to Dottles. What a way to enjoy your day and congrats to Rob who met Mike earlier too.

I get it, I am not complaining. I would love to see this setlist any day of the week. I already crossed Bugs off my list at Wrigley, so no that ain't it. I just want to hear good songs, but not the same songs I've seen. I went to 3 shows last year, the only three I've seen, and heard a lot of the same songs at all 3. I know it's a tour in support of an album, so obviously I'm going to hear Lightnight Bolt and Sirens, but bring out Oceans more, bring out Chloe/Crown, bring out Nothing As it Seems, Footsteps, Who You Are (I know, the last two were played at this show), Inside Job, You Are, Last Exit, Immortality, Deep, Garden, Blood, etc. Some songs I want to see at every show, Black, Release, RVM, Indifference, Present Tense, Daughter, Betterman. Songs like Sonic Reducer, Supersonic, Sleeping By Myself, All Night, Leatherman, I can do without.
