    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."

    Well, apparently they played all the hits at MSG and that didn't go over well here either! The boys can't win!!

    What's the story with the Millers baseball jersey Ed wore in RITFW? Looks vintage. Minneapolis Millers?

    After watching Binaural played in full I'd have been content with absolutely anything. I don't know if people look at setlists of previous stellar shows and have a sense of entitlement but hearing negativity about shows like this or the recent MSG shows just gets boring. The thing with PJ is that you never know what they will bring. If you get a predominantly hits based set which itself is a rarity you are still getting a hits set from one of the greatest bands. Yes a lot of PJ fans "collect" songs like they are playing top trumps but you saw 100 PJ shows and never got to see Dirty Frank or Evil Little Goat, too bad but I guess you got to see some stuff you did like along the way. So envious right now.

    Great first set with a good first and second encore. So jealous I missed Parting Ways and Sleight of Hand by one show. Congrats everyone going! Hopefully Thursday they blow the roof off again.

    Been lucky, was at moline, Milwaukee, Greenville and Toronto. Binaural is my favourite album so had an idea after gods dice something was up then after evs talk about Fort Mac I knew it was on. Unbelievable, I had fan club seats in 121 that I bought from a 10c was surprised no one in that section seemed to notice or care seemed like a lot of casual fans...

    I'll describe this show with a word that I have never used to describe a show and I've been to some great ones. It was EPIC, no fucking doubt about it

    complaining about seeing Pearl Jam live ?
    complaining about Binaural ?
    complaining about them playing their hits?
    what am I missing?

    Extremely grateful I was there !

    Tonight was an all-timer. There was a moment during (I think) "Comfortably Numb" when it really occurred to me that we were in the midst of something special. I'm not sure I'd have felt that way if, for instance, I'd never heard a song off Binaural till this evening...but the performance was stunning, and I say that as someone who generally doesn't like the album all that much. I spent a lot of the show ruminating over the band and how big a role its music's played in my life (tonight was PJ40 for me btw), and it's astonishing that they're still doing what they do and, really, they're the only band on the planet that's doing it at this level on this scale.

    PJ41 on Thursday outta be special, too: I'm taking my partner to her first-ever Pearl Jam show. We'll be in GA. We'll be deliriously happy.

    40 shows and you never heard a song off Binaural? How is that even possible?

    Why couldn't they have played parting ways at msg?!?! Let me sleep and grievance= awesome.
    If you like binaural it's an epic show, if you don't then it's a snooze fest. It's really not that hard to see both ends of the spectrum on this one.

    Was at the front of s118 last night. The show was fantastic. A few miscues and restarts on the binaural set, but thats to be expected. For a Toronto crowd I thought the energy (at least around me) was super weak to start. Lots of causal fans (a few passing around a LastFM setlist which they thought was the standard set for the tour - they were all going to "follow along") - many of them were confused as balls with the binaural set. The "hits" portion brought the crowd into it. The only clear "edit" for me is "Imagine", it just seems a little too "on the nose" (but then we got LET ME SLEEP!!! so fuck he could have played Sirens for all I cared after that). Thanks PJ and thanks to my clueless seatmates for not having the balls to tell me to sit down.

    Hey guys. It's just my fanview. i loved the first half, but it's like eating a great first course and the last 2 are just standard.

    I'm glad you all like alive and black but they don't do a lot for me.

    Perhaps if they didn't scratch STBC and scratched Alive instead...

    Stellar show. Awesome Set. Except for Imagine. That song makes me want to vomit.
