2016 was a good year to be a Pearl Jam fan....

I'd say so, 2016 North American/Canada tour, baseball stadium shows, Rock and Roll Hof nomination, Totd shows, No Code and Yield re-issues. I am sure I missed a bunch more, needless to say, with Thanksgiving around the corner, I am thankful.

    Thanks - my favorite moment/thing from 2016 was Wrigley night 2 being in GA - that was simply magic - the Miami show was a close second.

    Agreed.
    I would have a hard time picking my favorite moment. I was lucky enough to see PJ 4 times, (all incredible shows too), TOTD on night one in Philly & RNDM in March (including some other AMAZING shows by Iggy Pop, Mark Lanegan, AIC & others)

    My 7 year streak of seeing PJ may end next year for multiple reasons, but if it does, I feel like I'm going out riding an amazing wave.

    This year has been one of the best fir my wife and I and it centered around PJ. Hampton, philly, msg , Boston and then our trip to wrigley. RnR HOF in Cleveland on our way there. Getting to see 2 amazing ballparks. And then capping it off with a TOTD show that far exceeded any expectations really brought it full circle. I can't express how grateful I am to be a fan.

    I was just thinking this. 7 shows for me this year. 4 times lucky enough to get in the first few rows of GA. Wine bottle in Greenville. Ten in Philly (followed by breakerfall). Inside job (finally!!) in wrigley. Took my middle daughter to her first ever concert in Fenway. Took my oldest to her 2nd PJ show at msg2. Traveling and spending time with my brother and seeing the same pj friends in every different city. Every show was amazing and special enough on its own to have been all I needed. I'm so grateful that everything fell into place to experience that 7 times this year! Then to cap it off totd 2x. Mind boggling.

    Not sure I'll ever top 2016 as far as fun and pj are concerned. Very grateful.

    Agreed, I thought my 4 shows in '13 would never be topped, but 2016 was way better.

    Yes, thanks 2016 for awakening my PJ fandom. First time seeing them in 8 years ending in epic Wrigley show and then TOTD in Philly. So what happens next year???

    My first time traveling outside Chicago/Alpine to see shows. MSG and Fenway were amazing, and I caught the travel bug to see where they're going next. Been listening to Bush-era albums and hoping that the current political climate fuels them to put out a new album next year.

    Yep. 11 shows for me with 2 that I wasn't even expecting to go see. Met some really cool people along the way and got to go to NYC and Boston for the first time ever. from the 5 shows in 7 days from Lexington to Philly to NYC and then ending in Boston and Chicago for those shows were amazing. The highlight though will be the TMR show. Such an incredible night and one I'll never forget. Thanks PJ for being the best band out there and giving us these memories

    For sure bUCK. The fellas really outdid themselves this year. The PJ U.S. tour alone was off the hook, out the window and running laps around the whole damn yard. Gonna be tough to match. Looking forward to whatever they have up their sleeves for '17. HoF, y'all!!!

    It was a fantastic year. Got to see them at MSG, which was somewhat of a bucket list item. I also got to experience Fenway for the first time and get to see how the band performs in a stadium setting, which was nothing less than spectacular.

    Being lucky enough to score tickets to the first ever tour show of Temple of the Dog just topped it all off. Couldn't ask for more, except that I'm getting married in two weeks.

    What a great year :)
