The Yield and No Code shows were amazing to be at, I am glad another region got such a cool experience! The best part is when you realize, it IS happening, they are playing the whole damn album in order!

Here is to BINAURAL at Wrigley 1, Avocado at Wrigley 2

I can honestly say that out of the 11 shows I've attended (and that includes PJ20) this show ranks as my number 1. The crowd energy was solid, the boys were in super good moods and vibing on that energy, and they were flat-out on. It was an amazing evening all around.

agreed. I've hit 2 of the 3. Would have loved to have been at the show last night but oh well. Good for everyone that got to enjoy that live. From the little bit I heard on Periscope, it sounded incredible.

I live in Greenville and I was so happy they came back to play! This was my 26th show and the best one yet. The bands's energy was amazing and I am so glad the Greenville crowd showed up and rocked out. It was non stop and mind blowing. My Ten Club seats were right behind GA on the floor. I had an isle seat and made plenty of use of it because I was in a zone that PJ put me in. Looking forward to Raleigh and Columbia this week. This show will forever be special to me! Thanks PJ for being the best band that has ever been!

Wow! And the tour isn't close to being done yet. The guys keep one uping the previous show. Wish i was there last night. Killer setlist through and through. Hail,hail to the lucky one's who were there!

I am a patriot

Amazing! It looked like the guys were really having a great time as we all were. The whole place was rocking! Comfortably Numb was great! Thank you, Pearl Jam for a memorable experience. Come on back now, ya hear?

I'm just hoping Raleigh is anywhere close to as good as this show was. I'm still in awe of what I witnessed last night.

Disclaimer: Turd in the Punchbowl alert. Buzzkill Central. Pleading guilty now. My girlfriend and I flew from San Francisco for the Greenville and Hampton shows, and while we had a pretty good time last night, I can't say we were blown away. First and foremost, we were surrounded by some pretty challenging fans -- equal parts obnoxious, indifferent and clueless. Drunk bros talking to each other the entire time, dipping and knocking over their spit cups, asking people for weed, etc. Dude next to me was a stone cold monolith. Tried to engage him in conversation, and he was as matter of fact as a fucking tax return. He didn't move, cheer, clap or even say one word to his lady friend who probably struggled to see the stage over his hulking frame. Dude behind me brushed the back of my head every time he clapped and never noticed. Lady next to my girl couldn't manage to stay in front of her seat and kept bumping into her while basically having no reaction to the show until "Better Man." Btw, this was in the Ten Club section -- not even halfway back and about 14 rows up -- really good seats. Anyway, it was my 10th show and the first one that was affected so significantly by other fans. I usually find PJ fans to be friendly and passionate, but I don't know what was up with these folks. It made enjoying the show pretty tough. Hearing "Vs." in order was cool, but more like a novelty for me, personally. Once "Daughter" kicked in, I realized what they were doing. Again, cool, but I think they play most of the Vs. songs pretty frequently, and knowing what they were going to play next took the surprise element out of the show, which is one of the best parts of attending PJ shows for me. Plus, the sound was pretty underwhelming for a good portion of the show. I'm really particular about this kind of thing, so I should probably just STFU, but I do think the mix was a bit muddy for awhile; hard to hear some of the individual parts.

(I know. Shut up already.)

And now for the positive: Highlights of the "Vs" set: 'RVM" was insane, and hearing "W.M.A." in its entirety rather than as a tag on "Daughter" was awesome. Ed really brought it on "Blood" -- I'm shocked he can still push his voice that hard. "Present Tense" was absolutely fantastic. Definitely the highlight for me. "Swallowed Whole" was a treat. Excellent version of "Comfortably Numb" -- surprised how much I enjoyed that. I'd rank "Future Days" as one of my least favorite PJ songs, but last night's version was really nice. Something about the arrangement and the way Ed changed the vocal melody significantly improved on the original. "Nothingman" and "Spin the Black Circle" were great as well. Overall, (aside from my immediate neighbors, obviously) the crowd was really, really good. Great energy. Totally fired up. I really enjoyed watching the pit and seeing the reactions of some of the folks up front on the big screen. A young lady holding up a sign about the mass shootings at Virginia Tech was absolutely losing it during "Present Tense."

Trying not to have expectations for Hampton regarding the setlists and the fans, but I hope it's just a damn good show with some damn good people. Thanks for enduring this post. Purged.

Good morning to all - I watched the whole show via Periscope - that picture was so good decided to open a bottle of red - cast my Droid and enjoy. My very good friend was there, he has about 6-9 shows under his belt - I told him he had no idea what he just witnessed. Anyhow I have been to 29 shows, Vic as well - from the Periscope view I had, to Eddy pouring wine cups down the the rail I would say it seemed to be top 3 I have seen or viewed.

I had a great time. It was the best show I've ever seen.
We were in GA about 10 deep between stone and Ed. It was so much fun. Everyone we met were so so kind and fun.
The guy next to me said....they are doing vs...I just thought. "Oh Shit they are!"
See you in Columbia.

Pearl34Jam

That was by far the best concert and best night of my life.

Vs. is my favorite album and once they played Daughter I knew what they were up to.

Amazing!

Wow. Can't believe this is my first show of the tour. It will be difficult to top this. Great seats, thx 10 club. Great crowd energy. Even from behind the stage. Seemed like Eddie reverted to his 93/94 self. Pulling all the vintage moves, hanging on the mic stand, and going into the crowd, haven't seen jeff and stone this amped in a long time. I was at the 98 show and it was cool to hear him continue the running joke about Janet Jackson. Amazing!!! Thanks to all the fans for bringing the energy last night.

releeseme

Great night. Brought my son for his first show and ended up with row 1. Ed came and stopped right in front of us and sang part of Leash. Unbelievable. Thanks PJ and Tenclub!!!

Wow. 30th show. 2nd of this tour. They keep getting better and better!
Best band in the world & best fans in the world... Truly, those of you in the pit were a joy to be with & I absolutely loved how happy the band was!
Plus, it's always nice to have Ed a few inches away... (not the best quality, but for those interested, here's a clip of Ed in the pit & the end of Porch)

For those about to see them, enjoy. You're in for a treat.

Loved every single minute of this night.

Loved the energy and hope it continues for a long time to come.

An amazing show, top quality. Vs in its entirety live was wonderful, tight, and translated live flawlessly. I could have done without 1 or 2 of the LB songs, but fuck LTRP is heavy live. It cooks. The new version of Future Days was beautiful and powerful, Eds vocals haven't sounded better. It was my girlfriends first show, and she loved it! The day was absolutely perfect in gorgeous Greenville, SC. The show was close to perfection. Oh, and the crowd, was the best I have seen in my opinion. They were ridiculously loud, and section 101 was great to be in. Again, a few setlist nitpicks aside, it was a marvelous show. So much energy. Ill try to have a more in depth review after my five show run, but if not, there sure will be some lengthy boot reviews for those interested when they come out

And I like the poster myself, so much red. Unique. Sound quality in the arena after the first few songs, Id say 3.5 or 4 outta 5. It was quite good, but super loud.

Awesome video! So glad I got to experience it with you all. It was one special night, for sure. Let's hope they bring it to RALEIGH as well. Have fun to all the lucky ones in Hampton!
