    If we are going by adjective #2 (Surpassing the usual or ordinary) then the peanut butter and jelly sandwich I had for lunch was epic.

    Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it?

    EDIT: and thats a joke btw, I don't want to see any serious responses to this lol.

    I just wish this thread about being epic was an *OFFICIAL* thread about not calling shows epic, not just a regular thread about whether shows are or are not epic.

    If you called one show on this tour epic, then you have to call about 10 other of them epic too. This tour was amazing start to finish.

    I don't think any show that was ever played should be called epic- Pearl Jam or not. But thats just my opinion, do as you choose of course.

    No, I wasn't saying they should be called epic. But if people are going to call Hartford epic, then there are about 9 other shows this tour that would qualify as well. I'm just saying if Hartford is considered epic, then the pool of shows that are 'epic' probably has probably 120 shows, which waters down the "epic" tag.
