    I had a great time again. I loved the Vitalogy punch of Nothingman into Immortality.
    I LOVED seeing Mike's fingers close up on the big screen during Evenflow, I thought that was so cool.
    Wreckage is just such a fantastic song, an instant class. It's so great to see Mike, Jeff and Ed lined up singing together at the end while this giant wave crosses the screen. Y Go into Evolution into Alone was KILLER.
    Smile was a tremendous surprise, Baba brought the house down.
    As a two show complete setlist it was incredible. What a perfect 2 night stand in Vancouver!

    Here is a question I give to you.

    During DTE, they play snippets of the original 1998 McFarlane video. There is some pretty powerful imagery in that video. And taken as a single still or picture with that imagery behind the band, it could look pretty bad and be taken out of context.
    There was literally a slave master whipping slaves, Nazi-esque imagery, and the KKK burning crosses. In the context of the video and understanding the concept, it's fine, I get it. 

    However, in this day and age, what do you think about it being blasted behind the band, when I can take a picture like this?

    "Hey mom, this is the band I've seen 41 times"

    Personally I think it is asking for trouble and think they should remove it from the live show. My 2 cents. Thoughts?

    Regarding The Girl Hannah.  We flew in from Toronto on Friday on WestJet.  On flight they announced there was a young person on plane going to Vancouver for “Make a wish Foundation”.  I’m curious as to whether it was possibly her that Ed was referring to prior to Wishlist on Vancouver Night 2.  If anyone knows please say.

    My thought is that it would be hard to find someone who a) didn’t know about the band’s reputation and b) thought that one frame from a concert told the whole story and c) was an inclined to get agitated about it. Plus, nowadays creating a fake image is so easy that even I could learn to do it in a few minutes. 
    All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

    So we are just supposed to ignore what has/is happening because it might look bad. That's ridiculous. If someone is ignorant enough to look at one picture and form a whole opinion without doing any further investigation, then this band is definitely not for you.

    It was great to see the video play on the screen for me personally. 
    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    Another amazing show. I do think a few less DM songs makes for a bit better show for the average fan of which most of the arena is made up of, not 10c members as much as we think it is. That being said I personally love DM and wanted to hear Waiting for Stevie.

    What an amazing two night run. My only complaint is Quick Escape as the only Gigaton song. if they were only going to play one, it should have been Dance of the Clairvoyants.
    These were my only two shows scheduled on this tour, but now I am contemplating another........

    If they only play one from Gigaton, I think they picked the right one.

    I saw Aerosmith and they showed the Living on the Edge video updated with a bunch of horrible politicians in it - don't think anyone mistook the band as supporting these damn authoritarians.

    Anyway, the DTE video was a triumph. People who didn't care about Pearl Jam were asking me about it. I'm like, yeah this new Yield album is awesome. How about that Faithfull song!!! They're like - whatever that video rocks!

    Just wait until they hear or read the lyrics out of context

    The new video screens are so dope!  Glad to see the band up their stage game.

    Also I should mention a slightly shocking experience last night. Towards end of show Mike threw a pick into stands side stage. A single attendee jumped over three people i was at show with to try and grab the pick that landed at their feet. This person got blocked out from it, as my nephew got it who's 18. This older guy aggressively shoves him as a result. Security grabbed the guy before any of us could get involved, and escorted him out.
    All I have to say is if a pick is that valuable to get that aggressive, this person needs to reassess priorities.

    I mean c'mon. That is an insane start....

    Long Road
    Nothingman
    Immortality
    In Hiding

    And the energy carried right on until the end.

    Both nights were special in different ways, but I felt night 2 just rocked a little harder.

    On to Portland.

    Overall, better set then N1 -despite the missing deep cut track in N2.... fantastic energy from the crowd. The crowds singing felt louder, could have been the song selection. 

    At the end of the day... N1 still gets the nod for better show. The same stuff in the same slots is a real mood killer. Felt like a tool show where I knew the whole set after the first 4 songs. Not a single plot twist Until Smile that was a different spot after Alive instead of before.

    DM is so good though. Loving how they sound

    Alone isn’t a deep cut or plot twist? Man, it was my 103rd PJ show and I was thrilled with the setlist. Alone is not only a deep cut but a brilliant song, I was fine with Down getting cut (I do not understand the love for Down or Undone), and In Hiding is a showmaker for me since it’s in my top 5 songs. Add Immoryality in the 3-hole and Quick Escape…I’ll take it! Agree that so many DM songs does kill the energy a bit and I just am not into Upper Hand yet. Stevie in that spot would have helped and I love Won’t Tell but that wouldn’t have helped the energy.

    I suppose it is good reminder on that one. This is why a review from the airport isn't great 🤷‍♂️
