    I wish the 10c would offer this as a limited edition print (2,500) like (24"x36" or hopefully larger) that would look awesome on my wall next to some of my PJ posters

    for sure, I am sure they could see 2,500 of them, even if you limit it to 1 per person, no problem whatsoever, even for those who didn't attend the show, that would look awesome in someone's living room with the Seattle Skyline, I was in lower reserved so it was hard t\o grasp exactly how packed it was, but that picture illustrates it really well

    That's an amazing withdrawal.  Kind of bummed the summer is winding down and the concert has passed :(

    The shows were really great, always wish I could see more. I am bummed too, but what can you do? The last 4 shows I have been to I got 35, 30,32 & 36 songs, So I feel pretty fortunate because i remember back when they rarely cracked 28, or way back in the day when they didn't even play 20, first show I went to was Reno 1993 & I think that was like 17 or 18 songs. The funny thing was both nights I was begging for one more song, I didn't want it to end.

    I had an interesting thought.... With all of the talk about posters and merch lately, and folks seeming to prefer to do as much as they can to make sure that each fan gets the posters and merch that they want.... why would "limited edition" matter if this were turned into a poster?

    I guess it wouldn't, that is something they could sell for years, I imagine a lot of fans would want one & as we know there are a ton of Pearl Jam fans. It wasn't lost on me at those shows, that one point the band had a real love-hate relationship with the city of Seattle & some of the more underwhelming crowds had been here, with Portland & Vancouver crowds clearly better than the ones in Seattle, but those Safeco shows, the crowd was buzzing for nearly the entirety of both shows, everyone was really into it & you could really feel the buzz & I am sure that at some point all the band members were thinking we have finally won over our hometown, so there is definitely a much deeper meaning to that photograph, it was in essence a 27+ year culmination & everyone here is already anticipating when the next shows will be, cause that was super awesome!

    It still feels surreal to me that I was there for both nights.

    It's kind of stunning how much you can zoom in and how much detail on people you can still make out!  I know where I was standing Nights 1 and 2, and based on this pic my guess is it's from Night 1 because I can't see myself in one location (but can see the people pretty clearly) but I can't really see other location clearly.

    Anyway just amazed by the shot as a whole, but also the level of detail as you zoom in, even from that far away!

    Yes it's an awesome photo, the whole image with the Seattle skyline, you can even see the Space Needle in the background

    I was only at night 1, unfortunately.  Does anyone know if this pic was taken Night 1 or 2?

    I bought one as well. The other prints are great, and I know you can't see the band in this one, but knowing I'm in that crowd made me want it.
