    I've attended over 20 shows and that was the best sounding show I have witnessed.

    Ed's voice was LOUD.  But every other band member was crystal clear as well.  Matt was thunderous.  Setlist was amazing, crowd was amazing and  the energy of the band made the crowd get more more pumped as the night went on.  Didn't want it to stop. 

    The will call fiasco couldn't ruin the night.

    21st show.. traveled from colorado. Met some great fans. Utah girl in the ticket line, Hong Kong teacher and Portland guy in “merch” line.. unfortunate to make the trip and not be able to get a poster, possibly the most “must have” poster to cap off my travels and really show as a reminder of the entire trip to Rome, perhaps one will pop up to buy.  Anyhow.. after a beer or twelve at the Rome brew house a brisk walk into the venue just to find out our fan club seats were obstructed by the front of house tents (boo, hiss) we were accommodated by venue staff with GA access where the night seemingly couldn’t get better.. well it did, with one of the most blazing set lists that I’ve encounter live. Ripping and poignant.. from the Roman chorus for release to the thump of why go, and the flub of given to fly and soo soo much more, it was an excellent concert to end this excellent trip to Rome.. lots of love to the friends we met along the way. Here’s to Rome and to Pearl Jam!

    Bummed I couldn’t get a poster to this show.  Guy at merch booth said posters sold out in like 20 minutes.
    Hopefully, Tenclub will put a few up for sale on site.

    Absolutely incredible gig. . They literally got stronger the more they played.. Hopefully this comes out in film format to capture the atmosphere... So glad I booked this.. Was also in Amsterdam night 1 but this had a different vibe. Ole Ole PJ

    ....just - thank you!
    Just returned from Italy and still got no words (and no voice). A good warm up show at Milan, a lovely show at lovely Padova and a night for the books in the eternal city

    What amazing gig in Rome! Thank you guyz!

    PS: Some Italian's Ten Club members are fkn NAZI, probably this is my last year as member. 
    There was a guy that pretended to manage the access to the stadium for all the 10C members... 
    He had a panther tattooed on his back and he shouted and threatened to 10C members that don't wanna stand at his rules (he said that he would slap me). I don't wanna be anymore a member of a group that accept fascists. Many 10C members quited the line due this heavy atmosphere.

    Am so sorry you were treated like this by other members of our fan club and glad it didn't run your whole experience.  
    There is a separate thread under Given To Fly about early entry rules and expected conduct, have a quick look and you will see that this arsehole is within the minority not the majority.  I hope you don't mind but I have copied your post over into that thread for others to see.

    That was one unbelievable show!!  If you wouldn’t have known about Eddie’s voice troubles, you wouldn’t have noticed.  But knowing that, you could tell he tried to give his voice a rest more frequently... but... the result?  We got Stone singing, we got Matt singing, we got blistering extended Mike solos, a good mix of loud and slow songs...  And I’m sure there’s no other singer out there who, after losing his voice, would still pull out the heavy songs and play a 35 song, 3 hour setlist!  It was insane.  Eddie didn’t seem to want to leave the stage at the end...

    Thank you Pearl Jam for an awesome show, one that I won’t forget.
    Just a week ago, I posted there was enough talent in the band that Ed could take a vocal break.  Low an behold, they heeded my advice.  Thank you, PJ.  I know you read these posts. : )
