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
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.

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.
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
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.
This show took place on the night that Prince died and of course the band was devastated by the news. A little Purple Rain teaser opens the 2nd encore. Also, Rise was played for the first and only time (top of my head) at a Pearl Jam show. And Marker In The Sand makes an appearance!

almost forgot this today. Can’t say I know too much about this show aside from the Steve Gleason appearance and SOLAT opener. In Hiding and Of The Earth make for a better than normal festival set. Anyone have any actual stories from this?

Really great set to a festival crowd. Crowd wasn't bad, but seemed mildly attentive at times. Long Road mid set was definitely a surprise. Steve either made the setlist, or contributed to it. Eddie came out wearing a loud striped jacket for some reason... Maybe a Mardi Gras nod? He looked like a carny-barker while rocking SOLAT as the opener. Most of the band (maybe all) were wearing Team Gleason shirts.
My favorite moment came during the encore. Skerik and 3 other musicians added horns to a fired up version of The Real Me.
For the RITFW finale, Nathan Followill (KOL) shook a tambourine, Chad & Josh (Chili Peppers & future Earthings) played drums & guitar respectively, while Matt Cameron added a fourth guitar to the mix.
The next day, I remember seeing EV, JA, and MC taking in the Chili Peppers show from side stage. Flea commented on first meeting Jeff, and thinking it was cool and exotic that Jeff was from Montana.
Gleason definitely had some say in this. I remember reading that he made a remark to Mike saying he thought State would be a great opener and that’s the reason why they chose it. Also, Inside Job should be a dead giveaway. Should stack this up with Spokane and Voodoo, it feels like the variety is different enough where he put in requests for songs he left out the previous times

I lot of people I talk to say they love this show. It's another one I haven't really dug into yet. Early set Satan's Bed and an Education is wild.

I may be biased since I was there as well, but it was a great show. Was my wife's first ever PJ show and she loved it. Lightning Bolt was a great opener and, if I remember correctly, they started it with the house lights on until the "She comes after thee" line. Listening to this one today. Really loved hearing Comfortably Numb, Swallowed Whole, and Army Reserve too.
"I'm only civil because I don't know any swear words."
I was at the Columbia show but barely remember it. It was the first night out for my wife and me since our son was born, and we were fucking exhausted/nervous/scared. But it was fun! Columbia 08 was pretty awesome, too.
Philly 05 ~ Camden I 06 ~ DC 06 ~ Columbia 08 ~ Va. Beach 08 ~ Camden I 08 ~ Atlanta 12 ~ Charlotte 13 ~ Columbia 16
Went to both nights at Wrigley on impulse, I just had to see them live that year. My husband passed away unexpectedly in Jan 2016 and I had barely left the house til that trip. Flying there myself and meeting new friends as well as seeing people from all over the world that I've met through touring was just what I needed to feel human again. I cried through Release and a couple other songs but mainly was jumping and singing along the whole time. on my flight home I actually felt like I could breathe again and that maybe things were going to be okay.
Most of you have already mentioned these shows, so not a whole lot to add here because it’s kind of obvious

I’ll be honest, I was at both of these shows and it felt like after Philly that NYC would be due for something just as big, but I don’t think it lived up to that bar that was set for it. Night 1 is a good show, but it was the first time that I went to a show and didn’t get any original songs that I hadn’t heard before and that was a bummer. OG intro on Go was a huge highlight though, I just seemed to remember spending a lot of that night being able to predict what happens next and it took me out of it a little.
Night 2 was fine, but it felt like they did a little too much to try and recreate past MSG moments by opening with Corduroy, trying to get the stage to bounce during Evolution and so on. I won’t add Breath into all of that because they played both Singles songs and that’s fairly obscure and different. It was my first man trilogy, so that was neat. But Jeremy two nights in a row was a bit deflating. A lot of songs were played again in the same exact spot which of course doesn’t really happen. Cheap Trick and Sting were cool, but Surrender was channeling that Baba O’Riley early set energy from Milwaukee which was… different.
Hopefully 9/11 will be another historic one, I have no doubt in my mind that it will be. And I will be bringing lots and lots of signs that night if you catch my drift

Agree with your MSG takes. Honestly I totally forgot about Sting. It didn’t have the feel of 2010 for me.
