Very happy this was my 25th show. Sad the tour is over for me but grateful I got to see seven shows this amazing tour.

The view last night from section A4 row 24 was spectacular. So happy to have been on the turf both nights B4 night 1). Highlights were NAIS as the third song and Angel. So fun and I'll miss Fenway and Boston.

Have fun for those at wrigley. Maybe I'll be at some shows for PJ26

Nice to see them put Porch and Given to Fly away for the night. Great songs but they play them every darn show.

Last night was as close to perfect as you can get. Great setting, great crowd, great sound and the band brought it!
Thank you Pearl Jam.

Me and the Mrs watched the whole thing on Periscope and it was fantastic just watching via the Internet shot from someone's phone, so must have been amazing being there live!

What an absolutely wonderful two days of music. From the beautiful, meticulously crafted setlists, the enthusiastic and energetic performances, the genuine interest in both music and fans. Pure awesome.

Thes shows were 50+ for me, and 5-6 for my sister, and they were an absolute treat...

I'd go as far as to say epic, although I generally dislike the term unless it is being used by some wannabe hippy Phish fan recounting (in perhaps the only way he/she can) the exctacsy driven coma they experienced during Tweezer Reprise into 2001...

However, they were in fact epic.

To be a little more precise, those shows were 25 years in the making, and were collectively filled to the brim with whatever anyone could expect or want from Pearl Jam.

And to be honest, so much more - standing on the field at Fenway, watching PJ under the shadow of the green monster?!?!?

Maybe its better to write something along the lines of these shows were good, but could have been better, and the band has a lot of work ahead of itself in preparing for the upcoming Wrigley Field performances... the next 12 days better be spent fine tuning their craft..., but there's nothing really to say:

Jeff, Mike, Matt, Boom, Eddie, and Stone ABSOLUTELY rocked Fenway.

On behalf of my sister and I, thank you... to the people behind the scenes, to the band itself, to our (mostly:) wonderful neighbors in the ADA section - thank you thank you thank you.

I was at my seat and at 7:32 I got a text that read, "Buddy saw set list. Said if your a diehard you might die in your seat tonight"
I showed the text to a few people in our B5 row 2 turfs and proceeded to have an incredible evening. WHAT A TRULY GREAT WEEKEND. The shows, HOB, the people of Boston, just great. Even the forecasts of rain on Saturday didn't apply.
BRAVO

Nice!

Anyone know of any professional photographers who worked either show? Would love to look into buying a shot or two from the weekend.

My 17th show. Been to a lot of great ones and this was just a magical night. Probably just behind Philly 3 for me (but that was not just a great show but an exceptional night personally - front row lottery, Ed talking to us, my kids getting tons of swag). As a Bostonian, Red Sox season ticket holder, and PJ diehard last night was an amazing confluence of circumstances. Thank you, thank you, thank you to the band!

I can't believe they repeated 6 songs...worst show ever! Hahaha
Seriously spoiled watching this band!! Now I get to hear....."You went to both shows....don't they play the same songs?? Still in a daze from last night....unreal!!

Just an insane way to end a weekend of PJ at Fenway. I love this band and I love that park.

I did want to add that I hope the guy that was sitting behind us in B2 is ok. He fell ill during the show and had to be taken out on a stretcher. Scary stuff.

As for me, I actually had to sit down for a couple of songs because I was a little too high. It was actually amazing to just sit there and listen to the music without wondering what was happening on stage for those two songs. I could feel the energy from the crowd and the band while listening to the sweet sounds of immortality vibrate all around me.

I took my girlfriend to her first two PJ shows this weekend and we couldn't have asked for a better time. It was a great see a lot of friends, old and new, as well as meeting a lot of new people. We are an awesome bunch of crazy people that love this band and that is what draws me to this community. Sharing a common love for something is very special and when it all comes together for two nights at Fenway, well, it doesn't get much better than that.

Until the next show....

lol at your "epic" comment as it goes for Phish fans. PJ fans are the ones that overuse that words. Every single show is "Amazing!" All people do with PJ is look at the setlist and they say it is EPIC! The only time i've ever heard PJ fans be critical of a show is MSG n2 this year. Seems like PJ generally plays the same show each night and last night was special because they challenged themselves by ditching Given to Fly and Porch as I said earlier. At least Phish challenges themselves every single night by trying new things every time they hit the stage. PJ, while amazing, is just canned music opened up on stage.

Lol, why are you a paying member of PJ's fan club then?

I was a big fan of the night one setlist and this was even better!

Hope they make it to Europe next year.
