*** Barcelona, Spain Fanviews Here 7/10/18 ***

It feels like I was at a different gig to some of the comments in here. We stood at sound engineering, the sound was great, there was space to move and the crowd were intense, loud and passionate. I loved it. Oceans into Light Years left me in tears. 

Yes there might have been 'hits' but when you're in a crowd who are singing so loud, smiling so much and being swept up into each song then hell to it. Surely it was the hits that got us into the band in the first place. I know few people who decided to listen to them based on whale song (extreme example admittedly but you get what I mean). Sometimes I think we as fans become a bit too focused on songs on a set and not atmosphere. 

I have seen seven shows this Euro tour (one more to go), and I think that this crowd was enjoying it the most of those I attended. It felt that a large proportion of the people in the room were thankful and grateful to get to see the band play a non festival show in Spain. I mean the fans put on their own poster exhibition.
Let's see what London redux brings.

great show, cracking energy. My favourite thing is to see Pearl Jam, this was a favourite night. Who cares if they didn’t play a song about a mop, Jeffery Dahmer or a red dot. It was phenomenal to be there and I felt very lucky to be so. Great night, great city, great people.

I'm sat at the airport with a croissant and hot chocolate, and I'm so so glad I made the trip for this one.  The energy was very high all night, setlist was nice and varied. The Riot Act and Binaural love this tour has been wonderful.

I took it easy for this one and had a lower tier seat. It was immense watching the crowd on the floor nuts, and I was in a super cool section where almost everyone was rocking out. Nobody sat down all night, it was a total party.

Ghost, NAIS, Oceans, Light Years, Setting Forth were fantastic additions to the main set, and Come Back in the encore was stunning.  The energy during RVM was sick and it blew the roof off.

Alive-Baba-Yellow Ledbetter is always my favourite run to end a show and this was no different. House lights on,  every soul singing and dancing. It was pure joy.

Were you the guy with the Get Right sign Mike's side in the lower seats?

Energy was so high for this one. Crowd so loud.

Nah I was lower tier 103 on Stone's side.

I don't know how anyone can complain about a set in 2018 that has Ghost, Oceans, NAIS, Light Years. 

I think the band have realised that the main set is the best time to throw in the rarities, but the encores are when they need to keep the energy up. That means you need the big guns. They're part of why we love this band! Too many rarities kills a crowd. Last night, the energy built and built, so by the time we got to Alive it was one big party. Just as it should be! 

I think if it gets to the point where you're disappointed to hear the hits, you've perhaps seen too many shows. I want Alive/Porch/RVM/Even Flow etc at every show. 

I agree with The Rock. The sense of entitlement among much of our fan base has gotten to be too much, I think.

Being in GA this night it didn’t matter what they played. The crowd was intense and I loved every second of this show. By far one of the top shows I’ve seen due to the crowd alone, it was loud, rocking and hot as hell!!

I flew from in Melbourne, Australia to see this show for my 40th b'day and what an experience! I didn't care what the setlist comprised of and was totally beside myself rocking it out in GA! The crowd was something else and it was an amazing night. I was super stoked to hear Smile - and not surprisingly had no voice left by the end of the night..... 
Now back to waiting..... come back to play Oz, come back to play Oz.....

I really enjoyed this show, the energy was amazing and the 1 litre beers went down a treat haha. Come back was the highlight for me - my favourite PJ song.

This was my first PJ show and I can only echo the comments above.   What a crowd, what a night.   

The setlist will never keep everyone happy, but for a live show I'd expect the most important thing to be the night.  And it was a night - what a night.   Awesome.

I can't believe I've left this 25 years and have to go to the next round.  Please don't stop yet guys.

The band were on top form for this show, and played an incredible set. Agreed not too many rarely played songs but I felt the set was well balanced. Stared well with Long road and built solidly. Encores were spot on and finishing on Baba/yellow ledbetter, what can I say. The band were enjoying themselves and having a lot of fun. Their energy is infectious, they clearly enjoy their jobs and I really hope they continue for a long time yet. 

However, what really made it was the energy of the crowd. Perhaps the best that I have been part of. An unforgettable night, but then any night with Pearl Jam is unforgettable. Can't wait for the next one!

yes setlist wise, not the best
but who cares about the setlist if the crowd was that good

Eddies voice is really strong on the boot. Didn't even skip Small Town.

Barcelona bootleg has finally arrived. While at the gig, I remember feeling the sound in the house was not the best and that the setlist was a tad too hits filled. But man, the boot sounds perfect and the band is very on point. Right tempos, dynamics and all. And the crowd is LOUD! So glad I attended. What a fucking show and bootleg
