Show #29 in the books. Looking forward to #30. Section 113 was a fun crew. Great couple of nights in Austin!

KV4053

Phenomenal end to a 4 show Texas run!  I did not think Fort Worth 2 could be beat.

You're welcome!

That's a helluva setlist.  Maybe I should of gone down to Houston to visit a friend and done the road trip to Austin.  I would of finally knocked Who You Are off the list

Ms. Haiku

A person behind me was helping others with their cameras and she took my picture and offered to send it to me. That was very nice. I'm usually by myself so I don't have many pictures of me at concerts. [Concert review later]

Moody Center is the best venue I've seen them in.  Austin always delivers! First set was outstanding, Thank you for WASH!

ComeToTX

Finally got to see Who You Are. Great set. And new album next year confirmed by Ed!

drakeheuer14

Pretty, prettttty good! Great night AGAIN! Cool to see a bunch of people hitting show 100 tonight (or more!). 

Wash, 1/2 Full, HABIT! What a fun setlist. All things considered I think Ft. Worth were my Texas highlights, but Austin was a treat as well. 

Thank you Texas, thank you Pearl Jam, see ya next year. 

Green Disease Redux

Great set. Boring encore.

Show 17. Finally landed who you are and sometimes. 17 shows, new songs at all 17. Good luck streak will stay alive with new album next year.

Black belongs in the early set with the slow starters. Perfect spot for it. 

So nice that evenflow was put up on the shelf for a change. Last show I saw without eflow was cleveland 2006. Also had no corduroy that night. 

Not my favorite set but I really love the diversity of this show. Unemployable is better then i recalled. I would have liked WWS/Severed Hand here but shit a song that's been sidelined since 2013 is pretty good.

Really was happy 2 get never destination and retrograde one last time before they become deep cuts. I think those two plus quick escape and who ever said translated the best live from gigaton. 

If I didn't land who you are tonight  I can see why some might say this was an underwhelming tour closer. 

Chloe/crown plus SOLAT in encore always moves the show to the W column. 

Felt like a pretty good crowd and high energy from 118 down low. Moody center sounds great. What a neat venue. 

Really fucking happy we probably don't have to suffer dotc live again for years if ever hopefully. Give it the sirens treatment and delete it from the live catalog. Its so good on the album but doesn't fit the flow of their live shows.

Crazy Out of my Mind

Great main set. Wasn't impressed with the encore at all but to each their own. Seemed like many fans were into the last 10 songs but not my style.

HailHailVitalogy

Half Full was fantastic, my personal highlight.

Glorified G into RVM was probably the peak of the show. Was not expecting Crown or Who You Are at all.

At the end, Ed was definitely tearing up and didn’t want to get off stage. Two 100th shows in the crowd tonight. Mike teased Little Wing before YL. I thought the crowd was meh compared to the second nights in Chicago and FW. I also thought the flow was weird, that’s what made Chicago and FW so good. Never Destination after Once brought the crowd down, same with Unemployable after Daughter…but happy to say first time I’ve seen it since 2009.

Lastly, I thought Eddie trying to learn Habit AFTER introducing the song was hilarious.

One can always say they should have played this or that but on this night there is nowhere on earth I would rather have been.

Who you are !

That's a cool picture. 
Look forward to your review.

THIS was exactly what I needed from Austin 2 for so many reasons! A few rambling initial thoughts:

- TYAAM preset! To quote Rent, an Ed preset always means a wild night is now preordained!

- Love Wash as an opener, but having Black so early really set the tone. Mike was on absolute fire. Everyone was sitting, but he was soaring. Nothing better than having Mike in a mood. 

- DOTC has come a long way since I first heard it at Ohana, and even since last year’s NYC. Haters gonna hate, but it was nice, tight and punchy. 

- Speaking as a child of the 90s, I can confirm that Habit rocked hard. 

- SOLAT rocked harder than it has any right to after 30+ years. And coming right after Chloe/Crown, it was like I was right back in college listening to the Singles soundtrack on repeat. It’s still hard to comprehend how good all that music was at all the same time.

- Ledbetter to finish has been very personal to me since losing my PJ +1 in 2018. As always, Phred - this is for you. 

- Moody is a great sounding venue and it was a good, loud and happy crowd. A great end to the tour, and a great launching point for the (now confirmed by Ed!!) new album and tour to come next year. I hope to see you all on the road in 2024!

Another great setlist...unreal 

Falling Down

Love the EV presets

URthekey

On paper that first set looks amazing. Nice mix up of songs. 

100 Pacer

Very pleased to have travelled into Austin for both shows. Safe return home for all. Bring on ‘24.

deb1211

I thought the show was amazing. Sure there are always songs I'd prefer vs others but I always enjoy the hell out of just being in the presence of this mind blowing band. Ed looked so grateful by the end and they deserve all the cheering. What an amazing run of shows. That Black solo is one of the most incredible things I've ever heard. I love unemployable and was in happy bliss when Ed started talking about employment and Chloe Crown..well it's just beautiful and I noticed Ed is going for the high notes this tour. He sounds incredible. How grateful I am to have just seen these last 2 shows.

TYPJ!!!!!!!!!! 

My first time doing 4 in a row and first GA since 2014! Checked a bunch off of my list. See you next year.

p.s. Nice to meet so many of the Faithfull!  Shout out to Wes, the gal from northern CAL, and the couple from NYC.

Mike McCready played a quick snippet / tribute to SRV during YL. It was not “tightrope” as some have claimed .

It was a combo of riffs from two SRV songs “Couldn’t Stand the Weather “ into “Scuttle Buttin’”.

Who you are !   

Been waiting to see this one for a long time!

Schmakt

I kinda wanted to just skip this show... the sitting down... shorted setlists... the song choices from night 1? Not worth it.

And the first time I haven't been in GA since Hawai'i '06... BEHIND Boom.
Ugh.

What an idiot I was trying to be!
This show was so so so good!  And I actually really enjoyed being back in 103 and seeing the show from an entirely new point of view!

First show in a 5 year hiatus, and it was a great way to be welcomed back. Encore?  Didn't love it... I could hear RitFW again exactly never and be exactly zero sad about that... But YL to end was awesome and expected.  First show I've been to where Even Flow wasn't played... that was freaking cool.

And I LOOOOVVEE DotC... freaking LOVE it.  And I hate Gigaton b/c they released that song that seemingly has nearly nothing to do with the rest of the record.  So I was stoked to hear DotC.  AND I was stoked to hear Retrograde and feel like I need to re-listen.
Who You Are, 1/2 Full, and Wash were all firsts for me...
Glorified G,, Chloe Dancer/Crown... 2nd time...

My plane is landing now, but I am just BEYOND pleased.

BettrMan21

Habit, Who You Are, Glorified G all in a row - outstanding

Of The Aggie

My first show since ACL 2009 and it was great. Main set was awesome, encore was a bit meh - way too many covers. Like others have said, I could never hear RITFW again and be happy. We were in FLR 1 and the view was actually good even for me who is 5'3". I wish we could've gone Monday night too but weeknights and babysitting issues prevented us from doing that. Hopefully they'll be back to Texas before they retire.

goodroc

Amazing show was in Pit for both shows.  Night one I thought better set list and flow but the energy from crowd and band far superior Night 2.  Moody Center is awesome.  

Thank you to my friend from Atlanta who made the show so much fun.   If you see this DM me.   Safe travels.   Paul
