The bookends of Release and Indifference were just awesome. Release was spine tingling and Indifference was great to see again , though Ed did screw the song up pretty badly (which he acknowledged). Unthought Known stood out to me as well.

This whole thing was rather funny. When Ed pointed to "Unthought Known" on the list to tell Jeff they were going to play it, Jeff looked at him and said, "Now?!"
It was an incredible evening, albeit a little schizophrenic from the vantage point of the pit because of a few people that caused trouble and derailed things a couple of times. Three guys tried to rush the front of the pit during "Even Flow" and they got removed, but only after a couple of us had to act as bouncers. I was not expecting to have to do that tonight. Then, during "Indifference," another guy who was livestreaming the whole show and getting in everyone else's space with his phone tried to start a fight when a woman (rightfully) complained that he kept bumping her in the head as he reached over her to film. Between these two incidents, it was a pretty phenomenal experience but during them, it was chaos and really took me out of the show.
The Taylor Hawkins tribute sounded great. "Glorified G" (this was my 66th show and that was only the third time I've ever seen it played live) and "Leash" were just nailed. There wasn't much Gigaton tonight, but all three songs were standouts. It was great to hear "Take the Long Way" for the first time since Ohana. "Mind Your Manners" was very high energy and a lot of fun. "Garden" was another highlight.
The most awkward moment of the night was Eddie passionately defending his friend Bill Murray against accusations of inappropriate behavior with a female colleague and then seguing into "Better Man," a song about a woman in an abusive relationship. I don't know much about the details of the Murray situation-- I'm not sure anyone not directly involved knows exactly what is alleged to have happened-- but this seemed awkward, and I don't think I was the only one who thought so. According to a friend who was closer to Stone in the pit, Stone was kind of grimacing as Ed was talking about this and making a hand gesture as if to say. "I don't approve of this message."
Oh Dude!
so proud of LA for representing. From Release forward, what a show.
Quick Escape is a rare song that I actually feel sounds better on the album than played live, until last night, they attacked it and it was heavy, so good. Mike was an animal and that continued into Take the Long Way and Evenflow. Then he worked some absolute magic on Immortality. Ed’s voice sounded amazing, the conversation about shorter sets has made me really think about what his voice goes through, I start to lose my voice just trying to belt out Release, he belts it out for over 2 hours on back to back nights - amazing. His little vocal warm up before the encore was funny when he told the crowd “You should all warm up with me in the shower”
I believe in Miracles was so good, if covers are going to be less and less frequent that was a great one to include. Ed started to talk about Covid, Fuck You Covid, I thought this was leading into Alive, and then they drop Leash. C’mon! A-maze-ing!
To be honest, these crowds kind of suck…definitely not like the east coast 😉….but the band sounds great. Eddie sounded amazing yet again, but this time on a back to back
Highlights:
Eddie - “I’m not gonna let her out sparkle me, that bitch!” (Paraphrasing here)
Immortality, Garden, Glorified G, Unthought…and Leash was a great surprise (no more “lucky” back to “fuckin”
-EV 8/14/93
The highlight of the night was Ed getting emotional about Taylor Hawkins and then Matt singing and playing guitar on Taylor's Foo Fighter's song Cold Day In The Sun. Awesome.
Loved seeing Glorified G and Leash for only my 2nd time, and seeing I Believe In Miracles again live was nice. Can't complain about Garden, then seeing Mind Your Manners again was cool, followed by Porch (which unbelievably was my bathroom song as I knew the end was near).
The encore was a crowd pleaser for sure, closing with Indifference...was hoping for RITFW after, but oh well.
An amazing show to cap off a fantastic six show SoCal run for me (Ohana plus these three). I bought the Patriotic Eagle shirt from last night to help me remember my 21-22 PJ experience for years to come. I am aging along with the band, so I'm not sure I have another multi city run left in me (especially since it appears I've now maxed out on seeing new stuff...unless there is a new album of course), but I can't wait for show #20 in San Diego (hopefully won't have to wait 9 years again). Maybe I'll see DEEP there before we all throw in the towel.
Thank you Pearl Jam.

Besides Buttercup and Can't Put the Bullet Back in the Gun, anyone know the names of the songs Josh played?
Three shows in, and this setlist was 54% (!) tour debuts. Only three Gigaton, two of which were new (and the other was Quick Escape for crying out loud). I'm loving how varied these sets have been.
