Not a fan of the set list but I thought Eddie sounded the best he has in years! And the standing ovation by the crowd at the beginning of the show was awesome. The crowd was basically welcoming PJ back from COVID. Hoping tonight’s setlist was a “rehearsal show”
BTW I kinda need a ticket for the LA shows??
I refer to those in front...
Show was great. Felt like I was baptized again. It did seem short. Fewest songs played at a San Diego show since 1993.

But the tales about every place he ever set foot in while living in San Diego were a bit much. I think there were 35? songs played the last time they played the venue in 2013, last night there were 23. The new songs sound fantastic. I saw all 4 shows in 2021 and they sounded good then, they were even better last night. The band is clearly very well rehearsed but as some people have noted above, they haven't figured out yet how to fully integrate the Gigaton songs. The show felt rushed at the end, a combination of the delay in taking the stage and the large amount of talking Ed did. The final 3 songs were, of course, fantastic but overall the non-Gigaton selections did have more of a greatest hits feel than I've ever seen Pearl Jam play before.
I completely get playing tighter sets with a focus on the new material, which they are rightly very excited about, and it will be interesting to see how the tour develops, especially with 2 shows coming up this week in LA.
