Had to share this one of me (shades on) on the screen. Was funny as my phone blew up like 15 times after this happened during Even Flow - was pretty cool as I heard from a few people who were at the show that I had not spoken to in years! Wish it was more clear!

That's like me last year, I didn't tell a lot of people I was doing GA on the rail for St. Paul night one and people kept texting me "Are you on the rail" because they kept seeing me on the screen, which was smaller last year. Cool that got a picture of yourself on the screen.

"I play good, hard-nosed basketball.
Things happen in the game. Nothing you
can do. I don't go and say,
"I'm gonna beat this guy up."
Don't understand all the complaining about the encore. One of the better main sets I have seen. I was happy to take a breather for the first songs of the encore. Sonic Reducer, Leash, Alive, Rockin' in the Free World to close it out with YL? My 20th show, and I couldn't be happier.
great show - thought it was better than MSG1, though I enjoyed that one as well - definitely more energy tonight. Rather than dropping Red Mosquito for Glorified G, I would have subbed out Small Town instead!
Here are a few pics (as well as a couple from MSG1)
Really? I’ll never understand the hate for small town. Every time I see it live it absolutely kills. I thought that was easily one of the loudest crowd sing alongs of both nights.
Totally agree. Whether it's early or in the encore, it's always a massive singalong. Would take it at every show I go to.
anyone else think RVM was up next when he told the story about being in NYC and he mentioned looking in the mirror? I felt kinda dumb with my call but was psyched to get it a few songs after elderly anyway. MSG2 > MSG1 on a few metrics but man that encore was terrible. You could see even the most ardent diehard unsure what to do as 90% of the crowd was sitting, begging for a reason to get up. I'm all for breathers but a 5 song energy suck is a long time in concert years to keep it fresh. Still 8/10 show with highlights galore and no place else rather be.

was Gimme Some Truth just Ed or whole band? If just Ed then yeah that had to be confusing. But maybe Ed was just giving the band a bit of a break or he wanted to give people time to get a brewski

After 3 slow ones ( two being covers) the crowd was ready to explode and we get another cover. It couldn’t have been in a worse spot on the setlist honestly imo. That spot needed Go, Animal, SOLAT, Breath even why go. Something.

so it was the whole band? that would be better than solo but yeah I get what you're saying. I am always confused at these covers vs PJ songs.

I was sure we were getting "Breath". It's all good though - amazing night!
Been thinking about it, but honestly, I’m thrilled with the two MSG shows. 52 songs, only seven repeats (4 from the new album they are touring!) Band sounded great. Not sure what else there is to say.

I agree. It’s just after that main set the thought of “what could’ve been” inevitably crept into my mind. And I legit was losing patience during the encore. I hate covers so it was a nightmare for me. But I would totally get if other people loved it.
I don't think I'm ready for the era where 7 repeats is qualified by "only"
I think the more important qualification is “4 from the album they’re touring”. The other three were Alive, Even Flow and DTE. That pretty much counts as a no repeats show at this point.
GTF, Corduroy, Better Man, Elderly Woman, Porch, Daughter, Black, Jeremy, RVM all spread out between the two shows - Ed was making a real effort here.
By comparison, when I did two European shows in 2018 (Rome and Prague), I got 11 repeats - and those were off-cycle shows.
Did anyone get a good pic of RITFW after everyone had switched instruments so jeff and Matt were banging on tambourines and singing? It really looked like everyone on the stage was having the best time!

Honestly, it was far from my favorite encore: 3 Ed solo songs and a bunch of covers was not my preference. But it wasn’t enough to ruin the experience.
I think for myself, going to multiple shows this tour relieved some of the pressure needing any show to be “epic”. As long as there is a variety of songs, and in my view there was, it’s like one long party for me! Bring in Philly 2!

its a fuckin pearl jam concert, play pearl jam songs
You said it all when you said it! They have more than enough material to play two full shows in any city without a repeat and you'd still have 2 amazing show, no need for covers, we're there for PJ songs

Ruined the show was a bit of an exaggeration on my part.
And as epic as 2013 was , the new songs mostly got repeated every night and MYM and LB we’re basically in the same spot as well.
This was my first show at MSG and I thought the band sounded tight and Ed's voice was great. Was in section 209 and the sound was really good up there. I enjoyed having Andrew Watt come on stage and play. This guy produced the best PJ album they've had in a while and I felt that he has brought a new energy and vitality to the band. Some bands keep doing the same shit over and over but this band really tries to keep evolving and changing and sometimes there are missteps but I'd hate to be listening to recycled songs over and over.
Section 209 was rocking pretty hard and I heard some bros complaining about the political stuff but I appreciate that about this band. Its great hearing men speaking out on behalf of women and offering up such vocal support. I know when I take my daughter to Philly N1 that she'll appreciate that support as well.
On a final note, as much as I've always been one to stand an entire show and have been to shows where I was told to sit down, I needed to sit quite a bit at this show because I just finished cancer treatments. Just remember that you never know what another person is going through. And to the guy standing next to me that was rocking so hard that he bumped me all night, I appreciate your numerous apologies but I loved seeing how much fun you were having that even those small bumps throughout the night made me feel part of something bigger than myself! Through all my treatments this past year, I have lived by one thought - don't say no to anything but yes to everything!
See you guys in Philly tomorrow!
Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?
Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...
Had to share this one of me (shades on) on the screen. Was funny as my phone blew up like 15 times after this happened during Even Flow - was pretty cool as I heard from a few people who were at the show that I had not spoken to in years! Wish it was more clear!

My milestone 20th show spanning 29 years, and I finally got LEASH!! That was my highlight. I can never complain about a PJ setlist. Sure some are better than others but oh well. It's still my favorite band after all these decades. To be at the MSG once again was magical. The raw power of the city as the backdrop was as perfect as one might expect. Good energy up in 225 although I am still perplexed how in 2016 TC put me in the 100s but this go-round and as a single ticket, I ended upstairs. Lots of over-served folks near me (particularly a lady in the aisle screaming Let's Go Rangers and spilling beer on folks🙄) and guys filming with their spotlight on. Don't folks know that does nothing to help? Especially from that far. But regardless, I still had a blast and can't wait for my two hometown shows at Fenway later this month!!

The grass is always greener. Sometimes they do add that one song or two and it feels a bit contrived or out of place. I kind of felt that way about Leash. At this point it is what it is. Starting on stools, slow encores etc. I loved that Patriot. I was hoping to hear Rats. Oh well. There is not one song on that list I did not enjoy.
This was my first show at MSG and I thought the band sounded tight and Ed's voice was great. Was in section 209 and the sound was really good up there.

It was a great show, I was in section 120, but agree with some of the comments about the encore. My analogy of the show was a basketball game. It felt like you went to your favorite basketball team's game, they got out to a massive 20 point lead at halftime (set 1) with the crowded going wild. In the 3rd quarter (first 1/2 of the encore), the other team cut the lead down to 5, and the crowded died a bit and everyone was nervous. Then in the 4th quarter (second 1/2 of the encore), they kill it and end up winning by 15. Great show!

I agree all around - loved both shows, N2 was better and more rocking overall, and yes the mellow N2 encore section went on too long and killed some of the energy, but the performances were excellent. I could have done without the one Glen song and it probably would have regained the energy faster. That said, two more awesome Pearl Jam shows I feel lucky to have seen and they sound and played great. Going in wanted Pendulum and Present Tense and got the first one right from the get go! So good :-)

In the 3rd quarter (first 1/2 of the encore), the other team cut the lead down to 5, and the crowded died a bit and everyone was nervous. Then in the 4th quarter (second 1/2 of the encore), they kill it and end up winning by 15. Great show!

Oh Dude!
Section 209 was rocking pretty hard and I heard some bros complaining about the political stuff but I appreciate that about this band. Its great hearing men speaking out on behalf of women and offering up such vocal support. I know when I take my daughter to Philly N1 that she'll appreciate that support as well.
On a final note, as much as I've always been one to stand an entire show and have been to shows where I was told to sit down, I needed to sit quite a bit at this show because I just finished cancer treatments. Just remember that you never know what another person is going through. And to the guy standing next to me that was rocking so hard that he bumped me all night, I appreciate your numerous apologies but I loved seeing how much fun you were having that even those small bumps throughout the night made me feel part of something bigger than myself! Through all my treatments this past year, I have lived by one thought - don't say no to anything but yes to everything!
See you guys in Philly tomorrow!

The grass is always greener. Sometimes they do add that one song or two and it feels a bit contrived or out of place. I kind of felt that way about Leash. At this point it is what it is. Starting on stools, slow encores etc. I loved that Patriot. I was hoping to hear Rats. Oh well. There is not one song on that list I did not enjoy.
Cool pics tho
