    I don't give a shit about casual fans... I don't care if people are into it or not... i don't care if people are emailing and texting, just don't put your screen in my face... I don't care if I'm the only person in the building standing... i don't care about sing-a-longs... i don't care if I'm the only person that knows the song or album they are playing... i don't care if a song/album is popular or not... I'm a serious fan and they cant play anything too weird for me, bring it on...

    Well said...but I must admit I kinda enjoy the sing-a-longs haha

    Disappointing show for me. Aside from NAIS, Light Years, and Of the Girl, I don't like Binaural. As soon as I heard Breakerfall, I was worried that this was happening, and the rest of the album took a lot of steam out of the night for me and most around me. Everyone was itching for a something to sing along too, but had to wait a looooong time.

    I know the "hard core" fans were making puddles over this, but I believe you are the minority at the shows. Most people want to hear songs they know. I at least know these songs, I just don't like them.

    After the first 5 albums, there are 2-3 great songs on the rest of the albums. Say what you want about me, but this was my least favorite show out of 5. They really need to stop reading these boards or else they'll be playing nothing but obscure songs for the "collectors."

    Bummer you don't like Binaural, I am not a huge fan of how it sounds on the album but LOVE the songs live. And if you take out the 12 Binaural songs, the rest of the show was greatest hits and well known cover songs (Down, Let me sleep and The Real Me aside) so I think they covered all bases last night, not just "collectors".

    I really am not a fan at all of God's Dice. Don't really like evacuation either. However... to have a show that has a great light years, nais, sleight of hand, fucking rival, of the girl.... as well as the triumphant return of indifference and grievance. Fuck yeah ill take it.

    How can anyone say it is anything less than outstanding?

    Big shoutout to the 2 "EvenBro" drunks at the back of sec 107! I was just waiting for beer or puke to hit the back of my wife and I. They showed up already drunk. Finally security escorted them out.

    Amazing show. Insignificance is badass. Still chasing "You Are." Watch it get played Thurs night when I had to bail on that show to get back to the real world aka fucking work.

    According to "pearljamonline.it" instagram page, 'Bugs' was played on Toronto 1 soundcheck - which means that Toronto 2 will probably get 'Vitalogy' :D

    I refuse to believe this.

    London, ON 2013 also only had MYM played.

    Strangely enough, of the 3 "lightning bolt" era shows that I've seen, I've only heard 2 songs from the album - I got MYM at all 3 shows, and LB at just one.

    I have now gotten Even Flow and Given to Fly at all 11 shows I've been to.

    I am happy to have gotten an album show. I used to listen to Binaural a lot. Now I'll have to break it out more often again.

    Imagine was a nice treat as well. And what a badass version of GO to start the show!

    Would have been nice to end the show a little differently rather than Black>Alive>RITFW though. A little predictable. At least they didn't end it with Yellow Ledbetter!!

    Lightning Bolt was released like 4 month after the London show so not surprising.

    What were the other shows?

    That's true about London being well before the album, but Chicago just a few days later did have a few LB songs. Detroit 2014 and last night were my other shows. Kind of silly I've only heard those two songs the last few years; I'd have loved to at least get Pendulum or Getaway somewhere along the way.

    Last night was noteworthy for a few things, not just full Binaural and one LB song. MYM and Down aside, every song played was also from 2000 or earlier.

    17th show. Fantastic. Hard to place where it fits in my best shows- I've been fortunate to see some great ones (Buffalo '03, Philly #4, Wrigley '13, Detroit '14). I see both sides from love to just like. I was losing my shit about all of the songs I have never experienced live. Amazing!, On the other side my daughter was with me and didn't know any of the Binaural songs and looked a bit bored until the hit parade started in the encores. Top 5 show for me...understand how it could be tough for those who didn't grow up with Binaural or see the Binaural tour. Cheers.

    The people beside me and behind me chatted loudly all through Let Me Sleep and the couple in front of me left to get beer. WHAT?! Crazy!


    Were you by any chance in section 121, row 27? I had the exact experience in that section. Specifically, two girls behind me that kept talking through the majority of the concert. Crazy.
    I was in 118 or 119 towards the back.

    I watched/listened to the show from the comfort of my sofa, thanks to periscope, and I enjoyed it immensely. A great show.
