Great write up JG144602! I've only been to 4 shows but listen to lots of bootlegs and watch YouTube clips. MAN this show was special.

Great write up!!

Black was absolutely amazing. Mike was going nuts on that solo and the crowd was feeding into it. Anyone see Mike's stare to the crowd towards the end of that solo? Holy crap he was feeling it.

Footsteps made the hair on my head tingle...it sounded that freaking good.

Another standout for me was Vedder during Once...that look in his eyes...that song must have brought out young angry Eddie because he was just ripping it on that song.

^ I enjoyed reading that JG144602! Totally agree with the sentiment - it’s the little things that make each show unique and special and keeps us coming back.

I loved this show! Loved it. I wish they played more Gigaton. I wish they played longer. I wish I wish I wish...and yet I wouldn't change a moment. I wouldn't remove a song. I loved the flow. This was the tightest and most fun show I've been to in awhile. Retrograde was amazing. Whoever Said was better than advertised, that song slayed! Best version of Once, State and Life Wasted I've ever heard in person and probably better than most boots! My brother who claims that he hasn't listened to the band since 93 loved the show and his jaw was on the floor when they played Sad, he looked at me and said what album was that on, I just loved telling him that it wasn't technically on an album. I am Mine is always a treat, I'm never looking for it and yet I'm never ever disappointed. Footsteps early is so good. Last Exit has grown on me exponentially over the last few years. I loved getting Dissident and Glorified G in the same show. I sing Elderly Woman to my daughter every night at bed, and just hearing it live again and again never fails to bring me a smile. Corduroy just doesn't get old. Ledbetter was so good. Did I say I loved this show? It's funny, I had the opportunity to be in the Snakepit and at the rail for Metallica and wondered if concerts were ruined for me...nope, cause these guys are still the best in the business. My brother was grinning ear to ear with Eddie's stories and he was like: "If you go to a Bill Joel concert it's the same thing every night. None of this is scripted?" Thank so much! Thank you! For those that haven't been and have tickets enjoy, it's better than advertised! Forgot to mention Black, just a killer a version. How good does it feel to be in the building and singing along while giving no fucks? The answer is amazing! Thanks again!

Great gig. Thank you Pearl Jam for a tremendous night. Merch was insane and for first time in 15 shows didn’t attempt that. 

Of the Girl was a great opener. Guys seemed to have tons of energy after playing 2 shows prior. SOLAT and Breathe were special. Wife finally got Dissident. Not a fan of the shorter set lists but I get it. Just thankful they are still rocking. Retrograde sounded great. At first wasn’t sure about setlist but after it was done it ended up being great.

I went to Nashville and St. Louis this tour. Enjoyed both, but I enjoyed St. Louis more. Not saying it was “better.”

My feeling:
- Nashville had high expectations. Friday night. In Nashville. Always special musical guests there, whether they sit in or not. Very  good show. I loved Buckle Up (minority opinion, perhaps). 

- St. Louis was simply a Pearl Jam show on a Sunday night. Mostly the “faithful” there. So after a highly anticipated Nashville show and a gigantic festival crowd, St. Louis felt like being on the Porch at home. Not to mention a great set list and the band on point on third night in row. 

Looking forward to the next one, whenever it may be for me.

Show #25 for me. Was supposed to be #20 before Covid, but thanks to Ohana, Nashville and Louisville, ended up being 25. Really enjoyable show.

Best show of tour.  Thank you Pearl Jam. 

What shows have you went to this leg?

This was my favorite show of the tour.  We saw LA 1/2, Nashville, and St Louis.  Everyone's idea of the best show really depends on themselves but for me and my wife, this one was epic.

They could have played Sad and walked off and I would have been good.

Good morning from OKC.  I drove by Paycom Arena @ 6:45 this morning.  There were ppl at SW corner of the arena.  I wondered if a rescue group moved homeless ppl there for some reason.  I believe it was you TEN CLUBBERS.  At least 50 ppl w/ lawn chairs, etc.  Ya'll be careful.  It's gonna be HOT today.

? @ GA:  I'm taking a PJ virgin tonight.  How full have the GA sections been so far this tour?  My previous GA shows left a healthy, comfortable cushion between the folks packed into the front section and the remainder of GA.  I use an electric wheelchair and usually hang back 1/2 - 2/3 away from the stage (in front of Stone) w/o any interference from THE NICEST FANS on the planet.  I'm just trying to prepare myself.

See ya'll there...

I needed to pee and get a fresh beer, but I told my buddy I wasn't going until they played a hit.  Made it all the way to song 10, Corduroy.  What a way to open a show!  Seemed to be a show for the hardcore fan, and the crowd was into it.

I haven't been in GA but my observation (from the seats) is that the GA area is smaller due to the floor seats but there still seems to be room near the back that isn't as crowded. That's generally where we hang out when we have GA tix as well.

It is two days later and I still can’t get over this show. Big thanks to the band for trudging through their third night in a row. Can’t be easy at their ages. Awesome set list.

I am still on cloud 9 and in disbelief over this show. I was blown away by the energy, setlist , crowd and Ed's voice on a 3 night stretch. We were also in Nashville and this whole experience was more amazing down to the more roomy seats. I was in sec 118 , 2 rows from stage thanks to a wonderful human on this forum. I could never repay him.i had amazing ppl around me. 

I am mine was a song I have wanted and it didn't disappoint. 

Then Sad. I had started requesting Sad for my Dad and father-in-law..both war vets and amazing humans who died in 2021. I hadn't seen them since 2019 thanks to covid so no goodbye. When Ed said this is a request from a woman named Debbie I thought he must be talking about someone else then he said you are in our hearts and we are thinking about you and ripped into that ever so heavenly guitar riff of Sad and I sat there dumbfounded with my hand over my.mouth for a little staring up at the ceiling and back at the stage teary eyed..looked at my husband..not a big pj fan before and said this is for our Dads and then I sang my heart out. I can never thank this band and Ed enough for that or Ken who got me these seats to experience this. I am full of such love and gratefulness. Best show of my life and now I'm crying again. I can't wait for this bootleg.

This is amazing! So sorry to hear about your dad and father in law, but really happy they played sad for you. It must have been an incredible moment!
