Unbelievable! Yes, this show was hyped by us from the beginning.... But never would have predicted it would be THIS amazing! Can't even think.... Great way to spend my 44th bday, and 21 years with my wife.... We were in GA about 9 rows back right in front of Mike. !!!!

Are you the one Ed talked about at the very end? He joked that turning 40 is no big deal then said 20 years of marriage is a very big deal..

Actually no, that wasn't me, but my wife and I got a kick out of that similarity!

So happy for you guys! Remember when they first posted the tour dates/locations; all the haters that were not from the Midwest said the shows and set-lists would be lame? Guess a big helping of humble pie ala No Code is in order. :P

So yeah we're gonna need a vinyl release for this one

This for me is the best PJ show (on paper)in at least 11 years

My 10th show and with that special number, I was hoping for a special show and PJ delivered! The band brought their "A"game. The crowd had great energy and the band did too. Pre show I was looking for a rarity (Bee Girl, check), a bucket list song ( Brain of J, check) and some Stone singing (Mankind, check). Unbelievable! And for them to bust out front to back No Code, I was in awe. It brought back memories of waiting in line at Positively 4th Street Records in Charleston for the midnight sale of this album. And for someone who has a gap between live shows of 1995-2004, it was great to catch songs from tours I missed. God I loved this band.

Holy balls. Definitely getting this bootleg. Best album ever played in full.... Won't ever happen again. Hope they make the sound incredible.

So happy for everyone that was there!!! Oh.... And jealous as hell! Screw you all!!

Lucky fuckers! Best band in the world proves it again!

I'm about to make a lot of people hate me for being so very spoiled last night, so except my apologies in advance. But this was my FIRST Pearl Jam show... But believe me, the magic of last night was not lost on me for a moment. It was the best night of my life, as I had been anticipating being able to attend a PJ show for years. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. As you all know, the setlist was UNBELIEVABLE!!... My first show, and I must accept now that I'll never see one that compares to that. I can't believe I was able to be a part of that...

I am still riding a PJ high (as a kite) this morning. I'm sure all of you know damn well what that is like… Now I do too.

Highlights of the setlist, for me (besides the obvious No Code from front to back): Lukin, Smile, Present Tense, Mankind (let Stone sing!), Brain of J (headbanged my face off), Bee Girl (was so BEAUTIFUL), okay I better stop before I list them all.

One last song comment: Imagine... Was obviously special. During that song, they showed about ten people on the "jumbo" tron and 10/10 were crying. I think that entire building wept simultaneously.

Best night of my life.

It's cool that was your first show, but knowing that you will never go to a show as good as that one again sucks a little.

UNREAL!!!! So many love No Code as myself included...if I had to pick btween the 10 Lps to play like this ...Avacado b 1st, an No Code a close second...but complete honestly... Pick any Lp an it woulda been just as sweet... Thanks to all around us whom rocked til the end.. Even the wasted fans...(never seen such a continuos flow of people from the beer conc to their seats literally into the final encore)... I'll take wasted clean dressed 40 something's over drunk college a'holes any day ... An 99.9% of ya all made it til the end... An the solo dude whom drove up from Phoenix accross the aisle from my 16 yr old son an I... Even though u kept saying "your son don't know how lucky he is"... We appreciated the kind words... An for the record... He's a great kid an stood right with us rockin all nite... An ya, think he does know... Specially after the show 1st thing he said was "didn't get to hear I am Mine.,, but Off he goes is an equal swap"...he also said... "Think I only didn't know maybe 3 songs"... Peace y'all an well see ya in St Paul...

This might be appropriate versus bad luck.

Such an intimate and unique show might be something owned only by those in house and only talked about by others.

I'm really envious. Really envious.

I really hope that is not the case....I've been to 5 shows, but with 3 being "event" shows I only have a boot for one. Really want this one, as I doubt it will ever be topped.

Favorite album in order, that alone would have been enough.....thank you guys

Here's my take on last night. It was my 88th show, and my 14th since Wrigley Field, and my final show this year. I have accepted some of the parts of modern-day Pearl Jam shows that I like the least, such as Ed's ridiculous banter, the annoying shout outs and song request banter, the predictable unpredictability of the second encores, and the ridiculous stage antics, but I always walk away from a show totally happy and glad I came.

That said, it's been a while since my mind was fucking blown. Once the beginning of Who You Are started, I can't even fucking describe how stoked I was. The whole concept of playing albums front to back is something I really enjoy, and I would've enjoyed them doing this for any record, but I'm really glad it was No Code. When I think of No Code, it's signals the end of Pearl Jam's beginning and more easily accessible first three albums, and leads into my favorite three records, No Code, Yield, and Binaural. The significance of playing an album front to back that really alienated the casual fan, is pretty big, in my opinion.

Wasn't perfect no, where there's some flubs, yes, but ignoring that, it was amazing.

I haven't walked away from a show this excited in a long time and I really wish I could fit finish the rest of the shows on the tour but last night was it for me.

PS... If I never have to hear Imagine again I'll be a happy man; That is the worst fucking song ever written. Fucking cheesy and trite shit.

Did anyone else have to listen to the drunk fuckhead that kept screaming at Eddie during every break?
