    Thank you Ten Club for front row seats to both Sat and Monday shows in Vancouver! I ultimately had to sell my Monday tix but went Sat and it was absolutely wonderful, as always. Eddie's voice continues to soar. Also enjoyed Deep Sea Diver and listening to them alot since!

    The guys from Guadalajara emailed me the porch video and I finally got to hear what Ed was saying to me.

    Well done! Way to stay fit!!! So proud! No wonder he's looking so good.

    These are some amazing photos! Finally had time to listen to this bootleg. What a show! Great setlist, great energy, lots of tears, all in all an amazing night! Wreckage and a few others sure brought the waterworks. I was so excited to see the tour opener, and to be able to hear the new songs live for the first time. It was extra special and I was so grateful to be able to share it with my daughter, who has grown up listening to me listening to Pearl Jam, and we had a blast. It was a truly special 2 nights for us to share together and we both really needed it at this time. Everyone was so kind to her and she really enjoyed our vibe! I would like to thank the teacher from the Yukon beside me, for being as excited to hear the new songs as I was and being a great fan rocking out beside me, it was so fun enjoying the show along side you and chatting with you. You seemed as genuinely thrilled and grateful to be there as I was. Pearl Jam fans are just amazing, and every time I get to go to a show I meet such great people. Until next tour…hopefully with many more Canadian dates!

    The hand getting a fist bump from Eddie is mine! Got a fist bump, and my wife got some Eddie wine and a Mike guitar pick. Unfortunately, our dog ate the guitar pick when we got home.

    Made a relatively last minute decision to grab tickets to both Vancouver shows a couple of weeks ago after Vegas tickets were too hard to come by and flights were exorbitant anyhow. Flew in from Ottawa on Saturday morning and headed straight to a four hour wait in the merch line 😊 Met a friend who just moved to Vancouver last week and had a great time at the pre show party at The Pint and met some great Pearl Jam fans.

    Wash set the tone for both shows imo. Wow. Ed’s voice was amazing, had the crowd singing so loud right off the bat. Was so happy to get that as an opener, completely unexpected and never thought I’d get to see Wash. Ed absolutely nailed it and sounded better than I think I’ve heard him in years. Small Town got the whole crowd into it again and followed up by Given to Fly, the entire arena was buzzing.

    Then into the first four songs of Dark Matter. Wow. The new songs all sound great. React Respond has been growing slowly on me and wow, it really shines live. Has made me appreciate that song so much more. Dark Matter, while definitely not my favourite track on the record, was really fun live. The crowd was into it as the majority of people seemed to know that one. Wreckage was beautiful live. First four in a row had me super excited that the whole album was coming in order for a minute!

    The tag of Bobcaygeon onto Daughter was a really special moment. I figured we’d get Leatherman after seeing MC request it with Zane Lowe, and they came through! It’s been years since I’ve seen them play that and it was great! Great version of Corduroy, followed by the hilarious fuck up of Red Mosquito. Re-start and nailed it.

    Upper Hand is another level. So so good live. I’m in love with this song. Just kills live. Won’t Tell has been my initial favourite on the record and loved hearing it live – sang at the top of my lungs. Running had great energy live, even if not my favourite tune. The gang call outs were cool. Chloe Dancer and Crown of Thorns floored me. Really did not expect this. I’ve only seen this once live and it was at MSG. It was a dedication but feel like they save this, especially the combo with Chloe, for special shows and this was a sign to me that this entire tour is special. Playing it right out of the gate at the first show. Wow. They seemed so excited to be on tour and to be playing this new record that they’re so proud of. It gives me chills now, thinking about it. Porch was great to close as always and hope Mike is OK!

    Won’t Back Down isn’t my favourite Ed cover but loved the story he told about the guitar Tom Petty gave him vibrating and wanting to come on tour with him lol. And Ed’s voice did sound beautiful on it. Black was one of the most beautiful versions I’ve ever seen. Ed’s voice, the solo, the extended outro, the crowd participation, the We Belong Together tag, the look on the band’s faces soaking it all in. Just extremely beautiful. DTE rockin as always and loved the visuals on the screen for this one. Really cool. Makes the song better, especially since they seem to be playing this one in every encore lately and it’s become a bit predictable. Something Special I just don’t feel but that’s OK. I do enjoy the rolling bass line. Alive is great for the crowd but again, a little too predictable for me in this spot nowadays. Same with RITFW  really got the crowd going which is awesome but I’m fine if I never hear this one. YL was beautiful and happy anytime I get to see this. The band seemed so happy with the energy the crowd brought all night to this first night of the tour. I always love looking out over the crowd with the house lights up during YL. Chills every time.

    I fully left my seat when they left the stage after YL. Never ever expected that they’d come back out for another one after that. I was at the top of the stairs and stopped cold in my tracks when they came back out and the intro to Setting Sun started. That was so cool. The visuals were beautiful, the lights were low, the song started slow, soared, and sent us home on such a great, introspective and hopeful note. Let us not fade. Another moment that gives me chills. This song is so beautiful and translates live as well as anything on Dark Matter. Just amazing. I hope they do this every show this tour because it’s an amazing experience everyone should have a chance to see/hear/feel.

    Overall so happy I made the decision to fly across the country for these shows. Worth every penny. The band was in top form and had obviously been practicing for a few weeks. The sound was amazing and they were really tight. I’m not sure if they’ve changed anything sound-wise for this tour but it seemed like it. Maybe it was the screen and no sound bleeding to the back? Or Rogers Arena itself? I don’t know but the sound was top notch. I think Klinghoffer also subtly adds a lot to the songs and the overall sound and am so happy he’s still touring with them. Wasn’t sure what to expect with the new production but I absolutely loved it. The stage looked so gorgeous for the first few songs, bathed in low light, then silhouettes up on the screen and then the full visuals. Really added to the experience. Even the flooring of the stage looked new, like a beautiful carpet. Loved the jut out into the crowd and seeing Ed constantly going down there to sing directly with the crowd, shake hands, etc.

    Honestly, this is the most excited and joyous time I’ve had in well over 25 years of Pearl Jam fandom. I want to hold onto everything and enjoy every second. This band has brought so much to my life and it’s really amazing that I still get to feel this as a now middle aged man 😊


    Yeah I thought Matt Cameron requested "Leatherman" after an interview. Something came out on the PJ news today saying "Bobcaygeon" was a Matt request but when Ed just said yeah we're doing a couple requests tonight and this one's from Matt Cameron, I thought he was in refering to "Leatherman"...
    The other one may be a request from the guitar?

    The night was so mind-blowing. I can see why people chase it.

    p.s. I really like the melting iceberg on the mind of BC and the whale jumpy thingy. Thank you. Again

    What kind of shape was it in when it, um, exited your dog?

    Not great, definitely not worth trying to save. Dog is a very active chewer. Guitar pick never stood a chance

    That's a very good thing because you might have had a veterinary emergency on your hands if your dog had swallowed the pick whole.
