    Fresno was so epic that the band couldn't recover.

    @pearljammr78 I think I was next to you in the pit. Thanks for the info and help leading up to the show. It was amazing and can't wait to do it again.
    Awesome. Glad I could help. Hopefully I didn’t step on your toes rocking out. Lol. Till next time. 🤘🏽🤘🏽
    Peace,Love and Pearl Jam.

    Considering I had two tickets for Fresno I paid $450 for but didn’t go and couldn’t sell, these “epic” comments are brutal to read.  Glad everyone enjoyed it; just wish I had extended my stay. Guess I fucked up 😝

    I think deep down we all knew Fresno was going to be the best of these new shows.

    It was always Fresno, it could only ever be Fresno. 
              Amen

    With the cancellation of Sac and LV the chances are that whenever they play again Matt will be back in action.  This means the historical appearance by Dave K at Fresno a probable OTOTO.  Was glad to be there.

    Tempers are wearing thin. Let's hope some robot doesn't kill everybody.

    Rock and roll beauty is in the eye of the beholder (listener?)....Was at both and somehow felt that Fresno was "better" which may have been related to being entirely ready to be just whelmed---not over nor under...just whelmed in Fresno...  Frankly was overwhelmed by how more than decent it was....add a bit of original drummer magic potion to the pot and you have a steaming bowl of good musical stew....

            ^ ^ ^ Very good comment, in my opinion.
           I was at both Oaklands. Oakland 2 was 
           great.  Fresno had an "In the Zone" 
            quality that spelled Special to Be 
             in Fresno for that Pearl Jam show
             circa 2022.  It was awesome! 
              Re-Newed Crush, floating my boat,
               making me smile anew...Thankyou

    The crowd has a lot to do with it.  That’s why MSG is such a great show.  They don’t play longer or harder, but the place rocks - literally.  You feel the floor vibrate. Just hope I can get a ticket.  You’d think they do 2 shows there before SD or Oakland.

    Eddie and Matt have close ties to San Diego.  They love playing there.  The 2013 show there was epic.  East Coast bias is alive and well-- and I say this as a native New Yorker who has seen them eight times at MSG, twice at Barclays, three times at Jones Beach as well as at Nassau Coliseum and in Newark.  Some of the MSG shows have been epic.  Others have been "ordinary."  There's nothing inherently better about MSG shows.  
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    An Irving Plaza show. 😬
    I died. I died and you just stood there. I died and you watched. I died and you walked by and said no. I'm dead.

    I only went to the 2 Oakland shows, but I felt the 1st was better.   Setlist might look greatest hits, but there was a magic between the crowd and band while they tried to improvise using other drummers.    I thought the band was magic and the crowd.  Night 2 was decent, but you could tell there was a little more struggling.  Setlist was amazing, but something about night 1.

    Gotta love Fresno. Went to get some grub at a little Mexican place by the hotel. This hammered lady voluntarily gave me the whole history of meth and drug issues in the city. She then asked if she could be my plus 1 for the show, ha. An epic trip for me already and I haven't even made it to the show.
    HAHA!

    I gotta ask about the tatt… is it in remembrance of the Spectrum show? 😂
    Of course. Never forget the spectrum. Lol.

     No we got married on that date. Wife and I got matching Jack O Lantern tattoos and the dates to commemorate. 

    Renewed our vows on Halloween 2020 and got matching Beatles Tattoos. This Friday is 17 years of being a couple. My best friend and concert companion. 


    Beautiful!!
