Great shots. I like a baseball hat Vedder on stage!

Fantastic night in Barcelona, booked only a couple of days before, having missed out in London, I had to pull out all the stops to go.

Thoroughly enjoyed the crowd and the band, from down near the front and everyone was in fine form, have never stood in front of Jeff before so really enjoyed this. 

Started the show by ‘completing’ Ten with Oceans, and into another favourite, Off He Goes!  The big hits were even better in the crowd, I fell back in love with Even Flow and the crowd singalong at the end was brilliant and led to a lovely improv.  Rearviewmirror was also a big highlight at the end of the main set.

Then, in the encore I got my favourite song on No Code, Smile, live for the first time at the 14th time of hoping!  Beamed from ear-to-ear throughout it.  Then into Running and a fierce SOLAT.  I had almost run out of energy at this point, but it’s hard not to jump around a little to RITFW.  Then a good singalong of Yellow Ledbetter to see us off into the night.

Easily my favourite show I have seen since 2006.  I have now scratched my itch, and shall just patiently await the next return to Europe.

Thanks PJ and everyone at the Palau Sant Jordi!

Peace,
Matt

Great show. Crowd was less enthusiastic than in the first show, it seemed they were playing in a different country/city. Setlist was fantastic and encore was epic. Long live to PJ.

Decent but please get rid of corduroy, alive, black etc. So boring. So many great songs never being played. 

So long playing for the hardcore fans 😞

Maybe next time they're in town, Ed and the guys can just swing by your place and play Foxymop and Whale Song for you, instead of playing playing beloved classics to a sold out venue of adoring fans.  

I love Corey's comment and am so tired of elitist fans constantly demanding the most obscure setlists at all times. A show without Corduroy leaves a gaping hole, IMO. Barcelona 2 looks like a great setlist to me!

While I'm not a "Greatest Hits" person, I'd take seemingly forgotten "hits" like Dissident and Not for You and In Hiding over the deeper cuts and covers any day...

I do not agree that no Corduroy would leave a gaping hole.

But after the reception of Corduroy the first night, I can absolutely see why they put it in for night 2 also.

Corduroy is one of those songs that casual fans will enjoy even if they are unfamiliar with the song from before. I have noticed that before when friends tagging along not knowing their catalogue too well. Song has a great drive, and most importantly; sounds great live.
