    This was my 4th time seeing the band on a different country (I'm from Santiago, Chile, the others were Wrigley 2016 1&2 and Rio 2018). This was kind of a last minute decission, travel and all, and it was totally worth it. The Long Road>Release opening was sublime. To me, Black being played on the main set instead of the encores was a nice surprise, NAIS, All Those Yesterdays, Help Help and Breath were highlights for me also. I've read some comments complaining about the setlist (too many covers, not eough deep cuts, etc.). The way I see it, every show is unique and I taught myself to set my expectations as if I was seeing the band for the first time, so I dont get upset if i get, say, MYM for the 15th time instead of a more rare song. Just finished listening to the bootleg and sounds wonderful.  Can't wait for the next tour.

    Didn't go to the show, listening to the bootleg I have to say this show is way underappreciated here. So many little gems and on off's that make this such a good show. Seattle N1 and Missoula will always be overshadowed by Seattle N2, but N1 was pretty fantastic.

    Was at the show and this is what I've been saying as well.

    Seattle II was unreal, but it set a ridiculous standard for all other shows to live up to.

    That's how I felt too.  Seattle I was pretty good and enjoyed it, but Seattle II was epic and level PJ only hits once and a while :)

    Wow!  I can't thank the 10C enough.  25 years of consecutive 10C membership sure pays off in terms of seat location.  What a show!  I can't enjoy GA with all the standing and shoving so I got reserved seating.  Floor M row 7 on the aisle.  Wound up 4 rows behind Dave Krusen on one side of us, Jill V four rows up on the other side.  Bronson Arroyo a couple rows over.  Iron Chef Michael Forgione three rows over as well.  Kim Thayill walking by all the time.  And a pile of the coolest fuckers all around having a great time with none of the usual drunken dramas you tend to see.  My guest turned out to be old friends of Jill's guests so when Jill went backstage for a while we went and said hi to her friends.  I wound up spending half the show in Jill's seat until she returned.   Such a great show.  Loved all the covers, especially We Are Going to be Friends with Ed's girls and their teachers.  The band were in great spirits and seemed to be having a blast.  There is something different and special about seeing the band in my hometown and theirs.  Thank you thank you.
    I can't state it better.  Show 72 for me.  And the first since Philly 4.  The people around me were amazing and met a bunch of new friends.   

    If there is one request I have it is Oceans for August 10.  Some how I have missed it all these years and it is hands down my favorite.  No matter what happens, thank you for 28 years!

    72 shows and no oceans?? wow, I don't feel so bad after only 5. LOL
    Don't give up hope.  Got it show 73.  

    It was worth the wait.

    Ocean's is like a wave.   I didn't get it until #21, but then got it again 3 more times over the next few years.  I think they open it with it more often now.   High chance of seeing it if you go to both shows in a single city.

    I already posted, but had to post again. I got the bootleg for night 1, which was the show I went to. Eddie and Jeff hide a few gems in there about Andy. While singing Release, Ed sings "Oh Andy, can you see us now". On "I've got a feeling" while Ed sings the chorus, Jeff sings "Everybody misses Andy, we'll be seeing you in no time" (instead of "everybody had a hard year, everybody had a good time). Straight chills every time I hear it!

    Seattle 2 is the standard -- truly epic show. But while my husband thought Seattle 1 was not-quite what he expected, I thought it was a lovely, purposeful show. Seattle 1 had a lot of heart, the setlist was very thoughtfully put together. It was a show about home, about heart, about family -- and about people who don't have homes (the whole reason for the Home Shows, after all). There was a big focus on children, and Ed's language was the cleanest I've heard in -- ever, LOL.

    "Funny" observation -- after all these years in the spotlight, Ed's still nervous when speaking from the heart. He likes to spin a good yarn and to rant about politics, but when it comes to stories that really move him personally -- well, just watch his hands. He was wringing his hands the whole time he was telling the story about the inspiration for "Even Flow."
    All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

    Almost two months ago.

    Sheesh.

    Wish I could find a way to slow down time.

    Such a great time and show at Safeco, thanks Pearl Jam, Seattle and Ten Club for the great seats! My third show and my wife's second, both with me. I surprised her with custom Mariners Pearl Jam jersey's to wear to the show, we had an amazing time and despite if it's your first show or your 100th, each one is different and special in different ways to each person. Just glad they are still bringing it so we can all enjoy it!
