Energy was great in the pit. Everyone was super pumped, polite etc

Longest show ever? Most songs for a show at 39?

Othneil

What a bad ass show. Strong energy, major props to the band bringing the heat on the last stop of the tour. Very impressive.

Best ever? Well that's a stretch, but damn that was fun.

Thank you PJ for finally coming back to my hometown and putting on a spectacular show for all my friends who don't travel. After last night, they are all hard core born again Pearl Jammers! Fortunately I've been along for the ride the whole time....grinning ear to ear baby.

You rock.

Fantastic show! The run from Breath to RVM was sick. Calves definitely hurting today from all the junping!!! Was about 10-12 deep in front of Ed and the energy was incredible. Of the Earth, No Lip and Imagine into Mother...just amazing. Plus Leash!! FINALLY was able to close out Vs. after all these years! Met so many awesome people and got to hang out with friends that I haven't seen since last year's tour. Couldn't stop smiling then or now! Met a man at Brooklyn's who was taking his son to his first show on his 21st birthday. He looked so excited before the show so hope it was his best birthday ever!!!

Got in the GA line at 6am.. First people beat us by like 18 hours.. Had great people by us From Cody wy, from LA, from denver.. Got in the merch line at 8:45 with about 10 others and after a few minutes the line was easily 100ppl deep. I protested standing in lines so I sat in lines instead. I seriously love these people at these shows. Hilarity and stories.. The sun started to set and the sun burn set in, the GA line condensed and people returned their camping gear to their cars. The anticipation just continued to build. The line would move and people would cheer, finally we were in the building... Speed walking to our fateful spots on the floor for the faithfull. My wife and I ended up right there with the same people we had been chumming with all day, the party continues. After what seemed like months of waiting for the building to fill up and the house lights to dim, we finally arrive at our climax after what seemed like weeks of foreplay.
Denver was released immediately, followed by lowlight, the crowd singing all along. My eyes wouldn't stop watering with every word I sang at the top of my lungs. The tempo picks up gradually with elderly woman, but the boys crank it up to 11 with last exit and why go. This sets the tone for the night, these guys know how to produce a show. A few from lightning bolt fill some gaps before evenflow melts your face off and blows off your socks. Before you can even get your socks back on they assault you with a ripping version of ghost. After the ghost passes we are reminded that we mustn't dwell in the past but stick in the present with a wave known as present tense, that song speaks to me on so many levels, sonically, it's a wave that could remain merely a ripple but it turns into a tsunami of sound that catapults you from a brooding heart broken teenager to an ever present omniscient observer of the NOW. From the present to the future as we kick our evolution into overdrive with DTE, and since melting our faces and stealing our socks couldn't be enough for mr mccready he decides to stone us with an eruption that would make any super volcano jealous. Blasting into the 8th time of the earth has been played live, I was shocked at how awesome this song is live, like a 3rd graders lunch sandwich, this song was filled with jam.

I could go on about every song played as none of it was hum-drum for me or the people around me in the pit, but I'll spare the potatoes and get to the meat.

Stone busts out no lip for the beggars in attendance. Lukin erected out of a nice improv.

Mike wrecked a globe and his finger in the tear down of porch as Eddie came into the crowd and shook my wife's hand among others. She said they "had a moment" eye contact and a firm handshake, evidence of true admiration and respect from both ends.

Future days, sleight of hand, imagine, mother, last kiss, for the starting lineup of the 1st encore, but the itch to rock is too great and once the crowd was jonesing for another one two punch we get knocked out with breath, leash, and RVM. Absolute knock down, drag out, combination.

Bam! end of 2nd encore.
They come back and tackle us again with once then pick us up and dust us off with black. The solos, the crowd singing. The chemistry on stage. What a night.

Solat, betterman(sifl), life wasted, all were well received well by the crowd. As they bust into alive we know the inevitable is upon us and there is little chance for an all nighter so we strap on our rock gear for a few more minutes of heaven. The night is closed out with baba, yellowed and the Star-Spangled Banner. A gracious soaking of champagne for mccready and the front 5 rows. A group bow for the end of the show and tour and there you have it, denver, 2014, 24 years of pearl jam. My 17th show, my wife's 3rd.

24 hours later and I still have the post show buzz.
Thanks to everyone we met, jessica from wy, Ryan from denver, everyone else that I may not remember their names. The lady from Ottawa, the girls from denver in the merch line, hope you keep that tambourine forever blondie.

Thanks for reading, thanks for being great!

Dude, awesome metaphors! The guy bitching about the poor fanviews shouldn't be disappointed in this. Good for you and your wife!

ClutchingBenjamins

To `the builder` I was on the other side of blondie and also shook Ed's hand, and in a million years I could never have eloquently summed up that wonderful Denver evening as you just have. Well done Sir.

Amazing show. We came up from Dallas to see it and after a few strikeouts in my last couple of concerts I finally got to hear RVM live. OMG WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!!! The whole show was played harder than I have ever seen. Loved the couple of rarities and as always I love the interaction the band has with the crowd. We were in section DDD 3rd row (which are pretty damn good floor seats, thanks 10C) and I felt like I was standing 10 feet from them. Fav part of 10C is that I am surrounded by fans like me, not a bunch of yuppies that just want to hear 1 or 2 hits. We met a nice couple from Canada and a Denver fan who called release as the opener 30 minutes before.

What a night. What a show. What a band. Keep on rockin boys.

Oh one more thought..I saw someone else mention it too but that live video of the concert was like watching movie. Multiple angles, color changes, effects/transitions, artisitic shots all done in real time. My favorite was Mike's fish eye camera of his foot pedal. I hope they release video bootlegs of the concerts someday.

Forgot about the board cams. Saw that in Milwaukee. That was cool. Bring back the Matt Cam!

Thanks for summing it up in such a perfect way. That tambourine is in a shadowbox proudly displayed with my ticket, sticker, and GA bracelet and I wouldn't give it up for the world. It was awesome hanging with you guys in the merch line. Your hilarity made standing in line for hours way more fun. See you around the bend!

Ghost (even though Ed fucked it up a little), P Tense, DTE, Eruption into Of The Earth followed by Given to Fly was an absolute onslaught for me! Highlight of the show. http://youtu.be/USQVXJ_Tlao

Also, as others have stated the trifecta of Breath, Leash, and RVM was super cool. Such a jam at the end of RVM. The band was on fire all night. Especially Mike. I thought Ed sounded the best I've seen of my three shows this tour (STL, Tulsa, and Denver)

Anytime!! I'm so glad we were surrounded by awesome people the whole time! Thanks for rocking out with us! Also, for the sake of the ranters- I'm not sure if it was mentioned that Ed only fell down 3 times this show! Not too shabby!

myoung321

Got home at 3am this morning.... 1300 mile road trip. Worth every freakin mile!!!!! Loved our McCready side reserved seats. It allowed me to get some pretty good shots. My favs always have fans in them. Love the emotion it shows of the moment......

Going to take some time to go through the images... since I'm exhausted...but DAMN.. STILL FLOATING FROM THIS SHOW...wow....just wow..













Even popped to the section behind the stage for a few seconds to get a couple of shots... hey bathroom break shots..haha





Will be posting more to my Denver Gallery over that next few days.
