(Great joy and privilege. Matt played with Soundgarden back in the day and opened for Buffalo Tom. Then Pearl Jam got to open for them as well. He wrote one of my favorite all time favorite songs. Bill comes out and says he can’t describe how cool it is play here without saying “wicked awesome”.

Turns out Kevin is here and comes onstage and swings Ed’s guitar like a bat. Ed doesn’t want to talk all night because of the curfew but he talks about being with friends and crew. He says we get a lot of letters and describes several of them. Incredible stories and connections.

Dirty Frank tease was evil hahaha... although I mixed up the Life Wasted organ intro for LBC so I got teased as well.
What was up with Comatose?? Slowmatose?? I couldn’t get into that version. Did Ed F it up and they slowed it down or was that intentional?
Red Mosquito, Smile, Thumbing, CRAZY MARY BOOOMMM SOLO, Imagine was just beautiful, grabbed the soul... IMMORTALITY WITH ORIGINAL LYRICS!!!! Wow wow wow
The whole world will be different soon the whole world will be RELIEVED

So this was my 27th show. First at springfield civic center and multiple MSG shows, the full spectrum close set and many boston/Hartford shows and this was easily the loudest crowd singalongs of all time. Blows away the last 10 years of MSG and oNly the Hartford Xcel center comes close. Anyone who was not there has no idea. Eddie was letting the crowd take the loud songs not just better man. It was absolute fire. The set list has some nice ones like U and life wasted but the energy was what counted. I loved night one, was closer and had a great time but this was better.
The Dirty Frank tease was evil indeed, lol.
Oh, and Eddie sounded so good tonight. It’s really amazing how he still does it.
Thanks to PJ and Boston for a great last few days.
Mosquito sounded way better than it did in Berlin. Great seeing U, didn't expect that. Comatose is interesting tuned down. Didn't really mind it other than Ed fuckin up the beginning. Crazy Mary sounded great

that said, tonight was insane. sat in 129, pretty much right behind home plate. netting was annoying but what can you do. there was a couple in front of us basically sitting and on their phones the entire time. tried not to let it bother me but why come to a rock concert to sit on your phone when you can do the same at home? i still rocked the fuck out anyway. otherwise there were a lot of people in surrounding sections very into it. i loved looking around and taking in everyone having fun.
the energy between the band and the crowd was incredible. started off rocking with GTF into animal and that energy sustained through out the whole show. LOVED LOVED LOVED red mosquito, been wanting to hear that one live and it sounded so good. the lyric change to immortality was a nice treat. although not my favorite, can't deny me was neat to hear. i thought the first set was great. 1st encore had an insane crazy mary, and RVM to close it was mindblowing. 2nd encore, that dirty frank was SUCH a tease. alive > baba > y. led to close out an awesome show was fitting. so many great singalongs tonight.
crowd was on fire. besides eddie forgetting lyrics to life wasted the band sounded incredible. energy and atmosphere were something else. had a blast at these 2 shows and i'm sad it's over, but eddie saying next time they play together will be in a studio makes it all okay.
thank pearl jam for a great weekend!
