Can anyone elaborate on this improv? Any videos?

It sounded like something they've been working on.. Pretty polished.. And totally awesome!

I totally agree with what’s already been said. This show was scorching hot. My only show of this European run but I thought it was the best show I’ve seen since the 5/21/10 MSG show. I knew we were in for a good night when Courdory was absolutely huge. And the crowd, holy crap. The energy was off the charts. The band’s performance was as tight as everyone is describing and that really fed the already frenzied crowd.

The Love Boat Captain-Help-Help Help segment was a stunner. Can’t wait to hear the bootleg.

I taped the show just FYI. Didn’t bring my laptop to Europe though so I won’t be able to transfer for a week or two

Was a great show to end my 6 show run and now home to Australia. I have seen some fantastic shows and been to some amazing cities and met some great people. Thank you Pearl Jam for giving me the inspiration to travel the world.

This is the biggest gift they give us..

Ditto. Van Gogh Museum after Amsterdam, Cappella degli Scrovegni before Padova, Galleria Borghese after Rome. Still can't believe I saw all of this in a month (on top of fantastic shows, of course)

Nothing more this year most likely. I am doing this whole run as well as Fenway 1 but not sure what shows I will tape and what shows I won’t

I feel some Vitalogy full album show on the horizon! Berlin maybe?

Seattle I.

They were doing all those amazing album shows, but have never played Seattle since. I always assumed they left one for Seattle.

What an amazing night in Prague!

1ThoughtKnown · July 2018

Just home from Europe after seeing the Prague and Krakow shows. Amazing. The energy, the setlists. Wow.

Just wanted to thank the band from the bottom of my heart for what transpired at the beginning of the second set in Prague. My father passed away suddenly and far too young in January of 2017 and I insisted that Man of the Hour be played at his funeral. After hearing the song my brother agreed it was beautiful and it was played as we entered the chapel as a family. Of course, now I cannot her the song without thinking of my father and all he meant to me. When the second set began and Ed walked out alone I sensed it would be the song. I don't know why (I even mentioned it to a few new friends in the GA lineup before the concert) but I did. As the song played it was as if I could finally grieve for the loss of my dad and the tears rolled down my face. As the oldest sibling I was strong for everyone and in the year and a half since I have grieved in my own way, however all the memory flashes that occurred during the song reminded me he is really never gone and I will continue to make him proud.

Now, I also lost my maternal grandfather this year at the age of 83 after a long two-year battle with lung cancer. He was no ordinary 83 year old and I think this terrible disease robbed him of another decade of a happy, healthy life. As the eldest grandson we held a special bond. In fact, Gramps and I were as close as any father and son. Until my wife met Gramps she could not figure out my personality as I was so different from Mom, my brothers, my dad, etc. The "a-ha"moment came after spending about 10 minutes with Gramps.

Now I mention this because we drove from Calgary to Penticton, BC (about 8 hours) to see my grandfather at the hospice where he was staying to pass away with dignity. He had fought long enough and the writing was on the wall. We made it in the early afternoon and my aunt and my mother asked us to stay with him for the night and indicating he was waiting for me. When he knew I was there he held my hand tight and tried to say something to me... but the words would not come. That night my grandfather passed away peacefully with his hand in mine..... and I do not have the words to describe that moment.

After calling family members to let them know the inevitable news (the folks at the Moog hospice were wonderful and knew what the plans were) we all agreed to meet at Grandma's home. We jumped into my truck to head over there as if by some divine intervention, within seconds Sirius PJ Radio began playing "The End". My wife and I welled up in emotion and the tears streamed down our cheeks.

Playing these two songs back-to-back is indescribable and I want to thank the boys (and Ed particularly) for unknowingly making this the night this PJ fan needed the most. Special thanks to my new 10c friends who were there for me and my wife as the songs played. These songs will always hold special meaning to me and one night in Prague I was finally able to properly say goodbye to the two most important male figures I ever had in my life.

Hey, friend! Love it that you got those songs. It was great meeting you and spending the time in the 10c line with you!

"man of the hour", been wanting to hear that for ages... attended Amsterdam night 1, going home the second night to find out later it got played. We requested it via a sign last year in Antwerp (Belgium) during Ed's solo concert where he noticed it and said 'I am considering it'. I don't know if he writes things like these down, but we're missing out on Werchter this evening so if gets played tonight in Belgium I'll be eating my hat... without salt and pepper.
