    I love the '16 Tour.  I saw both Wrigley's and the Pemberton Show.   I still feel like the Pemberton show flew under the radar because it was a festival show,but I find myself revisiting that bootleg a lot.  It was so gooooooood.   I feel like those not able to make the drive from Vancouver, Seattle, or anywhere in between missed out :)

    I happen to really enjoy this one. Lots of dogs, great dedication before HTI, the Tesla coil thing during LBolt is cool, full Little Wing. I know I’ve heard complaints about the crowd at the show not holding up their end of the bargain, which is a shame because I think if this set was played in a big city, many of us would be looking at it as an all-timer

    I remember this year so fondly. My first hometown show (Jacksonville) and they fucking brought it! Eddie made good on his promise to “report back to the guys” about Jacksonville being a good city to play after he played there solo a couple of years prior. That night completed the Avocado record for me live when they played “Army Reserve”. We got “Rival” and “Of the Earth” (both firsts for me…). They scratched “Love, Reign O’er Me” to play the Riot Act deep cut “Ghost” for The Greek (anyone who’s been here a while knows who that is). I’d also be remiss not to mention an absolute scorcher of a version of “Smile” to the back of the stage. 
    I saw the whole FL run with my lovely and amazing girlfriend (now my lovely and amazing wife!). Got some deep cuts early and often on this run of shows. 
    Also saw them in Colombia on the day that Prince was announced as being found dead. The band teased “Purple Rain” > “Chloe Dancer / Crown of Thorns”. Pure magic. Was lucky enough from there to be able to attend both Wrigley shows (Let’s Play Two!!!!) and finally cap the year with a Temple of The Dog show at the LA Forum. I don’t imagine I’ll ever be able to top this year of live PJ. It seems like an eternity has passed since. Cheers to all who were there, or are here!

    I was at both MSG shows and Fenway 2. All were great shows with great energy from both the band and crowd, but Fenway 2 stood out to me as one of my all-time favorites I’ve been to. Great setlist- opening up with off he goes and NAIS, in hiding, not for you-immortality-deep back to back to back, angel, footsteps, love reign over me and breath in the second encore- just an all-around amazing show!

    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.

    They knocked the Pemberton show out of the park in my opinion. I remember the show being fantastic and it translates very well on the bootleg as well. Many fan favorites and deep cuts, not a typical festival set if you ask me.

    Talked about this earlier in the thread and got excited about it and popped in the bootleg during a road trip. I had forgotten about Ghost! That was amazing, especially with the dancing ghost going crazy on the floor behind me. A lot of fun!

    Also, tagging Thumbing My Way during Black!

    Don’t really need to explain in further details here. Everyone knows what happened! I think Indifference might’ve been my favorite performance of the 12, mainly because we never get to see it in this setting. It was like 94 versions where it was pitch black instead of singing with the house lights on. Perfect end to all of that. I go back n forth between what I like more from this or Philly and I actually this one wins out. Nothing will beat Moline, but this is a good number 2

    Greenville was amazing! My only complaint being up in the upper levels. People around me did not understand what was happening. Great show! If I could have picked a first three albums show to attend, Vs. was the one!

    Prior to the tour, I said I wanted to hear W.M.A. and Inside Job. So this show had me psyched once Daughter was played, I knew I would get it! Did not disappoint!

    I used to live in Greenville and was at the ‘98 show. Fun to see them again. Brought me back to college days!

    Philly night 2...ten in it's entirety...nuff said.
    Magical night. I’ve never seen so many grown men cry. 
    Ed looked exhausted when talking before Release. I admit, I was shedding tears.

    It was my husband's and my wedding anniversary. We had GA, but did not queue, just hung out at the back of the pit with a friend. It was truly a magical night - our daughter was there with us as well. It was her 2nd PJ show - her first was the night before. It took us about 27 shows to finally get Oceans in Brooklyn, she got it two nights in a row in Philly.

    A very special evening for us when they raised the banner - we attended all 10 of those Philly shows.
    really. All those heavy hitters from the start. Amazing show to be at. Not even a huge 10 fan. But all that live in that order really was one of, if not the best of my 30.

    Is is just me, or is the sound quality of the 2016 bootleg recordings significantly superior to every other tour since they began doing it?

    2013 and 2006 were pretty good as well, but not in the same ballpark as 2016 to my ears. Does anyone have an explanation for why every tour is mixed so different? Some of them are pretty bad, particularly 2008. Not sure why they wouldnt have a consistent formula for doing the bootlegs at this point, but happy they're still doing it.

    good show that I think has an heir of disappointment attached to it do to the cancelation of the Raleigh show. But Long Road mid set is absolutely a highlight here

    2016 will always be a special tour for me, it was my wife's first ever Pearl Jam show.  We went to the Lexington show and had a blast.  Loved Lightning Bolt as the opener and even got Education that night.  Great show and good times.  Looking forward to taking her to her second show in September!!!

    Hampton was a fantastic show! We were staying at the Embassy Suites next door to the venue, had some breakfast, and then went over to get in line for merch. The merch process was a total shitshow, truck got there late, people behind us ended up ahead of us at the truck, but all in all, everything worked out fine.

    We had picked up good side stage seats a few days prior in a drop, so were able to take our time, indulge in the free happy hour offered by the hotel, and not need to worry about queuing. Highlights off the top of my head - In My Tree -> Breath, Not For You and Inside Job. Long Road came in mid-set. Inside Job made me laugh because there was a rather inebriated guy sitting next to us who had been calling out for that song all night. He kept leaving and coming back double fisted with beers. When they finally started the intro, the poor guy didn't realize until about halfway through the song that he got what he wanted. Good times.

    Went to Lexington and both Wrigley shows in 16. I knew I’d be hard pressed to find someone to make the 5 1/2 hour drive from central Illinois to Lexington, especially on a week night. Was my first time going to a show solo so I didn’t know what to expect but I knew this is a great fan base so I’d be all good. Posted my extra ticket on the forum and we met up at a pre party, super cool person and ended up being one of my favorite concert experiences.

    I assume they’re done with the filmed show releases now as they’re headed back out on the road, but this one would definitely be my pick if we get another one.
