    Great year indeed, here are my highlights:
    Greenville (vs)
    Columbia (got oceans to complete the ten album)
    Boston (Fenway night one) great seeing my favorite and at my favorite baseball team's stadium, especially society and masters of war
    Chicago (Wrigley both nights) great way to close out the tour and had fun with everyone there

    Now seeing TOTD in San Francisco just ends the year on a positive.

    Thanks PJ and TOTD for a fun concert year.

    I've had a lot of extreme lows personally this year, but Fenway 1 and the dedication to my dad really lifted my spirits. No other band gets it like they do. There were so many great shows this year! I loved seeing little Noah jam the f-out in Quebec City!!!

    Quebec City on the rail. Last minute plane tickets to Toronto to see night 2. Double showing at Fenway with night 2 being the best concert experience of my life. Deciding on a whim to go to Wrigley 2 solo and meet up with a great fan from this site. What an unbelievable year. Thanks guys!

    I thought so. I saw 3 shows in a single year which I haven't done since sort of the Riot Act tour (which was technically 2 shows in December and then 1 show in May). All 3 shows we're really good (Pemberton and the Two Wrigley's). All outdoor shows with near perfect outdoor weather (even if a little rain fell earlier in the day). I had a lot of fun. Chicago is the furthest from home I've ever seen the band. I had a great time spending a week out there.

    Some of my favourite PJ show's are the one's when they tour without a new album. The 2016 tour reminded me a little of the '05 tour which I also quite enjoyed.

    I'd agree.   It felt alot to me like I did when I went to the '98 tour.   Had that feeling about it.

    What an incredible year! We did 14 PJ shows and ToTD twice in Seattle. Waiting for the 2016 bootleg box set, looks like the 2014 one came out in June of the following year, so hopefully we can expect it soon?

    Very thankful I was able to see PJ at MSG night one and both Fenway Park shows.  I have been struggling with a divorce from my wife after 17 years of marriage.  I wasn't even going to go to Fenway but my brother pushed me to go.    Being in Boston and seeing Pearljam in Fenway was simply magical.  Definitely started to help my healing process.  Oh and my favorite memory from the MSG show was when Mike ran up the stairs all the way up to the section I was sitting and ran all the way down.  So cool.  Love this band.

    Felt like bumping this one up. I agree, it was awesome. I got to hit 4 shows, 3 with my girlfriend (first time she had seen them) and one with my pops. It was sometimes very emotional in those shows, Im looking at you, Hampton, for various reasons. Regardless, the shows were hard hitting, lively, and illustrated the band in fine form.  Columbia 16 is my favorite out of the 10 shows I've seen. First time I couldn't really sleep after a gig. It was magic.

    It's tough not to think about the highs of seeing them outside of Chicago - experiencing the floor shaking at MSG for two nights, visiting Fenway for the first time, and then getting two nights at Wrigley with one of them being front and center in GA. Didn't hurt that EV was running around Wrigley during the Cubs playoffs either. If it weren't for the epic Hot Stove show in Boston, and EV's surprise addition to Obama's farewell speech, it would've been tough to go from 2016 to no PJ shows this year.
