Playing full albums is a gimmick I'm not fully behind. Unless it is like when they played Ten in 1991 or S/T in 2006. When they are fresh.

Agreed.  I think it is really lame and lazy. 

Hi!

I seen Jeff the night before the 2014 show at Chelis. I was actually standing outside having a smoke, leaning against the front of the building, literally streets were empty because it was gloomy out. Anyway, a cab pulls up in front of Chelis and Jeff pops out the back and walks in, lol. I was way to hammered to be saying anything though. I just went back in and kept drinking. It was pretty cool, they had the big PJ banner on the side of Chelis. Top 5 live show for me probably.

Detroit is a great bootleg (the best of the US leg of 2014) but I imagine nothing could match the feeling of being there when No Code was played in full. Especially when this was before any of the recent run of full album shows. 

A die hard fun would love it but I imagine the vast majority of the crowd was bored as hell. 

Good point, although I imagine most die hard were together in GA/10c seats so the atmosphere for those people would have been great. 

I'm just guessing though. No Code is one of my favourites so I would have loved to have been there.

I went to both - it's like comparing blondes to brunettes - both girls were pretty

colors blend

True story....A friend and I who talk Pearl Jam all the time were going over songs we like hearing, have never heard, etc and I made the comment "I'd be happy if they just played No Code"......next show we go to is Moline with GA seats and there it is

I can only imagine what would happen if they decided to play an even-lesser known album like Binaural in full. Oh wait...

And I ve read a few reviews that said outside the 10c area it wasn’t received with much energy. I would have been extremely bored with binaural.

Hopefully they weren't all mine (I've mentioned the lack of energy at that Toronto 2016 show before). 
For what it's worth, I really enjoy Binaural. It's a solid album and easily my favourite post-1990's PJ release. It's got many great tunes. I just don't think it works all that well in a live setting, in it's entirety, more than a decade-and-a half-after its initial release.

And my god that Toronto 1, 2011 crowd was off the charts!!!! Still a top five show for me that will be hard to top. 
And I agree with you that binaural just does not translate well live.

Yeah, some songs just don't work "live" and vice versa. 

Riot Act would ofc be the best album to play live. But our prayers haven't reached Pearl Jam yet.

VS is the obvious winner for full albums to be played live. No Code is far and away my favorite album so Moline is a special show in that regard, not to mention the song “moline”. You can tell Ed was just feeling it that night.

A few songs? Yes. The whole album in a crowd of almost 20,000? Not so much.
(Again, I really like the album.)

Sorry about derailing the thread. I will say this: I much prefer No Code live than I do the studio version. (Mike, I have a feeling this is one of the few times we might disagree????) The big one for me is "Present Tense." For years, I'd listen to the studio version and thought it was a bit "meh." However, once I started listening to bootlegs a little under a decade ago, it came alive for me. It's an all-time great in concert and the performance at Moline is no exception. Although it can be cool seeing the crowd sing a good chunk of the song, EV keeps the mic throughout this performance and doesn't disappoint.

OH no I much prefer no code live like yourself!  Present tense and red mosquito are to me the two best live songs off that album (both should definitely be played more.)
