 I Thought Canada  was a mellow place. So many complaints. Please just enjoy the moment . 

Those aren’t Canadians complaining. 😜

And certainly not people who were at last night’s show! Which was great. 👍🏻👍🏻

@Weston1283 Huge thanks to our relayer of the evening.

Over to  @Go Animal for the final list

@Longueuil. We posted at the same time, same minute, but you beat me every time 

G’night all 

Not every time. And it's no competition.

I'm still on my little cloud today.

Of the girl - GARDEN - Alright - NAIS, right from the start this show was awsome.

I would be too with that setlist. ☁️ 
I wasn’t trying to be competitive, just thought maybe I should stop posting songs, thought I was being redundant. @GoAnimal told me it wasn’t a race, just continue on, so I did.  I had fun. You had a lot more fun!

People saying that EV and MC are too old to play 30 song sets…do you have access to their respective medical histories?

Jesus Christ, some people are such idiots.

For real. If you're pissed they aren't playing 30 songs, stay home and let someone else, who will appreciate the experience for what it is, have the ticket. I'm completely dumbfounded people are complaining PJ is playing for 2.5 hours and not 3+. Again, they are all approaching 60 years old and they've more than earned the right to decide on setlists and show lengths that work for them. We were lucky when they played 30 songs, and we're lucky as hell they are still together and playing 23 songs. If you don't like it, well, too bad....go somewhere else and ask to speak to the manager!

NICE!!!!! (It’s the same handful of whiners over and over)

Dimi- Thinking of you. I know you love this song.

Did anyone ever say what happened to Dimi?  Did he maybe get a job and have to go to work like the rest of us instead of being able to travel the world and see every single show?  I never understood how all those deadheads traveled the country and went to every show.  what was their source of income?  I wondered the same thing about Dimi.  Nothing against the guy or anything.  The Greek economy stinks.  I just wish I had the opportunity to do the same thing.

Dimi has a job.

He saw Pearl Jam shows in Europe this year.  He is not doing any PJ shows in North America in 2022.

Dimi still runs setlist threads on Facebook.

Only 3 songs from Gigaton and 6 from Ten.  I would be disappointed.  I'm not complaining by any means.  Just commenting.  I just happen to love Gigaton and want more than 3 songs.  This is the supposed Gigaton tour still isn't it?  And four from Yield.  Given 2 Fly and DTE of course.  I'm still not complaining.  Just commenting. At the Sea, hear, now you got 6 Gigaton songs, at the Ohana festival you got 5,6, then 5 from Gigaton and at San Diego you got a whopping 8 from Gigaton then LA1 gave you 6 Gigaton and since then it's like they said F*#k this great new album we made let's go back to more Ten that we have been playing for 30 years.  3-4 songs only for Gigaton since.  Yes they did play 5 from Gigaton the other night which was nice, but it is only the second time since LA1 that you got more than the customary 3-4 songs from Gigaton.  Gigaton is a great album to me and I just want to hear it and if I fly all the way up to Philly in a couple of weeks and they only play 3 songs from it, I will likely be disappointed.  I'm not complaining of course, just commenting on how I feel.  And I also don't get caught up in the song totals because they could play Eruption, slow lukin, fast lukin, and wasted reprise quicker than one crazy mary with a great extended Boom jam.  Sorry I rambled on so long.  I just love this band so much and these shorter sets are just fine with me.  They sound great on the boots and everyone says they sound great live as well.  Can't wait for Philly/Camden then Nashville!

My first Garden in fifteen years, and it’s possibly their best live song. That chorus is INCREDIBLE live. One of the biggest bummers about Even Flow and Jeremy being so huge at shows is that not that they aren’t good, it’s that it buries songs like garden, deep and oceans. So if it takes six songs from ten to get to the garden so be it. 

Not sure why all the (other) comments about shorter sets, Ottawa was the same length, 2.5 hours, as Fenway 2018. Yes fewer songs, but also playing at a better slower tempo and longer songs, as you mentioned. If anything, they should cut the covers to get to more new songs, but those two from Neil are killer live. They have tough choices on setlists. Trust me, I am a big complainer about setlists, this one was top notch. Kept the crowd on fire and a couple of great deeper cuts for the members

We had seats in section 107 which were great and had a clear view of all the ongoings during the show. My opinion of Josh is one of extreme appreciation. He is tucked away back in the corner and he’s not on for every song but when he is, he is working his ass off back there. Percussion, Guitar, Backing Vocals, I’m guessing keys or synth board of some kind? When he wasn’t performing on a song he was taking pictures non stop from all over the back of the stage. Around and over the amps etc. was very fun to watch him do his thing. I even saw him kind of fist pump the air after capturing a pic of Mike playing into his amp in the stage light. Guy really helped the band in my opinion. By no means is this a complaint, more the reality of time, but the guys are getting older and the marathon shows are unlikely to be a every show occurrence, if ever again. I feel that Josh was a sweetener for Matt, and particularly for Ed on backing vocals. Ed’s voice is still great but if you have seen them a lot love over the years, you notice his mild cheat methods where he struggles a bit and Josh really filled in well in those moments so Ed didn’t have to throw it to the crowd to fill in as much as he has done the last few tours. They sounded great and they mixed the setlist pretty well. That setlist was a casual fans dream. Lots of hits and recognizable songs. Great crowd energy and Canadians are just really lovely and friendly people. Love going to shows in Canada and I recommend it to everyone to venture north at least once. I for one go to shows in hopes that 90% of the crowd walks out angry saying I didn’t know almost any of what they played, but I really was glad to see them and hear the songs that made me love them in the first place still get played and still sound great. MSG for me next Sunday and then I’m going to retire from traveling for shows. Home games for me from now on. Last time they were in my hometown was 2006 so it might be a while…. Everyone enjoy the tour and be safe.
