Hi, I host a Pearl Jam Podcast. We go back to some of the classic shows in their history and break down the entire setlist front to back. From historic perspective, to performances, to setlist construction, to fan stories. We do our best to capture the magic that is their live act and help you relive those memories, or if you weren't there, maybe turn you on to a show you've never heard before.

Live On 4 Legs can be found on Apple Podcast, Spotify and any other major podcast platform. But please support our website and check out the episodes archived there. Oh, and the Concertpedia as well (for you Five Horizons and Two Feet Thick fans, we've picked up where they've left off)

    The link doesn’t work but Charlottesville is the only correct answer.

    Brooklyn 2 was a great show (My 50th show).  I also love the Phoenix and Charlottesville boots.  
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    Since I attended half of the 2013 shows I feel like I can provide some informed votes.

    1) Charlottesville
    2) Brooklyn 2
    3) Wrigley (not a fluid show but an adventure)
    4) Vancouver was fantastic
    5)  Seattle - despite a dull crowd that decided spending all night and day in freezing cold  lining up was worth being close to the stage even though they were exhausted. 

    Seattle was fun as I stood in line for merch in freezing cold (40’s but windy and lots of moisture in the air that made it feel like 20’s).  I said some not so nice things about some teenagers buying a ton of stickers clearly on behalf of someone else.  I then proceeded to buy 20 myself. Huge hypocrite.  

    What a great tour!  Dallas and OKC were really good too.  Really enjoyed Buffalo a lot.  The GA section really pumped some energy back into the shows.

    Hartford was really, really good
  • maverickmaverick Posts: 1,233
    I voted for 2 shows, should have done so for 3 that stand out.  
    Hartford
    charlottesville. 
    Brooklyn 2

    I was at each of them, along with some others and these stand out to me still 6 years later.

    I only went to one of them - Vancouver. But I've listened to most of the others, and after making an effort to drop all attendance bias, I still think Vancouver was the best one. The band was just in the best mood for that one I think, and the setlist is the best. Second to last show of a tour is usually killer for psychological reasons, lol, and this one stayed true to that IMO.
    EDIT: I forgot about Wrigley. I went to that too... Vancouver was WAY better than Wrigley, and that has nothing to do with the storm delay.

    I only went to the last two, Vancouver and Seattle.  Vancouver was amazing and one of my top all time shows.    To be fair it had a small pit (due to the lack of 10c members in attendance), and I was dead centre 5 or 6 people back.  On the opposite side of the spectrum, we had behind stage tickets to Seattle (it was all we could get).   What we didn't realize was the metal bird obstructed the view.   We couldn't see much of anything due to how high up the tickets were and the angle with that bird.   We could only see eddie when the bird was up, and eddie was perfectly position at the very front of the stage.   Couldn't see any band members the rest of the time.

    Just has much as the amazing Vancouver tickets helped make and amazing show even better, those Seattle tickets made me a little sour and made what was probably a good show, memorable for the wrong reasons.

    I do think Vancouver was amazing and might be underrepresented due to the reduced number of 10c'ers in attendance.  Still there are a few people posting they saw it along with East coast shows, so if they say it wasn't the best I can't really argue :)

    Hartford's encore was incredible, but top to bottom (and only going off shows I attended) I think I put Wrigley and Worcester 1 ahead of it.

    Not saying it wasn’t. I was there, loved it. Sleeper favorite and is a near perfect set if it doesn’t have Got Some in the encore. But my eyes are on everything and I can see people place 7 votes within a minute for Hartford. You can vote once a day, I encourage that, but just know that I can see when the ballot is being stuffed and may have to grade on a curve to make it fair for the other great shows in 2013.

    Voting is open until Thursday! Remember that you can vote for up to five shows at a time!

    Steve Gleason made the setlist!!!

    1 of 2 times Sirens has opened a show, both were in 2013. 

    crazy good set.
     Animal > Corduroy
    State > RVM. 

    What year is it? 1994?? 

    oh yeah and throw in a Chloe/Crown for good measure.

    2011 and 2013 top the list for me.  Things became a little stale after they toured minus new material.

    For sure! I know they're not as packed as 1998, 2000, 2003, etc. but there are indeed some pretty amazing bootlegs from 2011-2013!

    I didn't attend Vancouver (went to London and Buffalo in 2013) but it's my favourite bootleg of 2013, for sure - and there are some great ones from that fall!

    Pitt is probably the hidden gem of that tour (and it has the best poster).

    Remember listening to all of the 13 tour and thinking OKC and Dallas were easily the sleeper shows of the tour. However if I had to pick one it would be Philly 1. Great bootleg with sprite energy and good vibes. 
    2008: Bonnaroo
    2010: Bristow
    2012: Atlanta
    2013: Charlottesville, Charlotte
    2014: Cincinnati
    2016: Greenville, Hampton, Raleigh (cancelled), Columbia, Lexington
