Sick set. Great venue and vibe. 

WMAmorican

Bloody good show! "Hard To Imagine" was the highlight for me, but every single song was great, the Isbell cover, all the new songs, a couple No Code gems, an insane "Break Her Fall"....brilliant!

borisdisco

great night. Amazing set list. Hard to Imagine and Breath were unexpected. Ed’s voice sounds really good. Watt can shred. 

Sarava

Amazing show

Just before Deep Sea Diver went on I learned my grandpa had passed away a few minutes earlier. Thanks Deep Sea Diver and PJ for getting me through the evening ♥️

Holy shit, Ed Tossed me a tambourine 🤗

Wow

Holy Hell..this was my 17 year old daughters first ever concert of any band and I saw her dancing and fist pumping. I upgraded our seats today to  11th row sec 7 and it was so awesome. 

What a setlist. I was shocked to hear Tremor Christ and Breakerfall and then inside job..how I have wanted to hear that for so long. Loved seeing Watt jamming with the band. Dark Matter songs shine..wow are they incredible. I feel like I have known them for years. React Respond is a burner live wow. 

I'm so happy right now and I think I have some amazing photos

Mike on fire as always and Ed sounds incredible 

Can't wait for Saturday

Wow!!!  Good for you!
Awesome show.  Inside job, hard to imagine and breath sounded really nice surprises. The band sounded top notch!!

My fan view has to wait for full sobriety..but how does N2 top this...lots of ToTD is the early and only answer.

What a start! Couldn’t have asked for a better first 4. Crowd was on fire for the first 4 songs, but then tamed a bit until Lukin through the end. Breath was fantastic. Not better than Chi 2 or FW2 last year but really close. 

I was in complete shock with Breakerfall and Tremor Christ. I’ll shut the fuck up now in the setlist threads lol. Speaking of shock, I think a bunch were shocked with Daughter after Wreckage….and I think it allowed Dark Matter to get the great reception it got. I was in awe for the second half of Setting Sun.

Eddie sounds fucking great! So fucking glad I made the day trip

Great set list. Inside job the real treat alongside Brekerfall. Keep on giving some love to Binarual. Hint hint: Grievence, Sad, Fatal and Parting ways.

I was st Chi.II and it was pretty amazing but, obviously doesn't include the new stuff so hard to compare.

opsopcopolis

Honestly best I could’ve asked for in this current format. Hard to Imagine was really all I wanted, but killer setlist overall. Great to hear HTI, Breakerfall, Tremor, and Inside Job. Lot of stuff I didn’t expect. Now onto the sphere tomorrow

I'll have more to say later, but for now I just came here to say that Andrew Watt absolutely killed it on "Alive." I think a lot of people in the pit may have missed the epic shredding he was engaged in because they were focused on begging Eddie for tambourines, but holy mother of God. When you listen to the boot, you'll think it's Mike, but it's Watt. Wow.

Sorry to hear about your Grandpa. Glad music was able to get you through the evening. This music had helped me through some tough times. 

The show was great. My wife and son were in the pit and Ed tossed my son a tambourine. I was with my daughter and my older brother was with my middle son. Enjoyable night and memories had by all. 

The band is functioning at a different level. The new music is so great live and the excitement they are showing playing the new music carries to the older songs. 

Thank you Pearl Jam!

Crazy Setlist….. Ed said he didn’t write it last night or this afternoon per normal, “this is a 4AM a couple days ago”.

Ed said “you won’t find me at the tables” that’s what led to giving the couple $500 to gamble. Will be interesting if they make it to the rail Saturday.

The EB story was from Ed solo tour 2012 on Halloween and 11/1 at the Palms. I was at those shows. Ed was kind of bashing Vegas then but then a lady offered him what I thought was $5000 to play Black. He said he didn’t know it solo, then more and more people started coming up donating more money so he and Glen Hansard decided to do it. I have never heard him say anything bad about Vegas again.

Show was great, crowd was loud, pit was pretty mellow. Saw a guy getting carried out and put on a stretcher right as Upper Hand started to play, very eerie. He looked to be in bad shape. Maybe rocked out to Even Flow too hard. 

BF25394

The pit wasn't always mellow. Two people tried to crash to the front right before and at the beginning of "Even Flow." I channeled my inner Gandalf: "You. Shall. Not. Pass." and sent them back from whence they came.

Set list was really great. I had a major issue with the ADA seats that were assigned via 10C (see here https://community.pearljam.com/discussion/302662/major-problem-with-10c-ada-seats-in-vegas#latest) but once I got moved to a usable seat I enjoyed the rest of the show.

The most demonstrative Jeff Ament I've seen in decades. Tonight's star.

Easily the best set this tour.  Congrats to everyone in attendance.

Condolences to you and your family.

Damn damn damn.  That was an awesome show.  Didn't expect Tremors and Breath.  I like the screen in the back.  It doesn't distract from the performance and perhaps will lead them into the Sphere next year. 

I was in the pit and only complaint was difficult to hear Ed at times or it was pretty harsh.  Ed sounded great though overall.  It is amazing to have such a great time at a show after all these years.
