I feel ya, what a great weekend. I truly think we'll see them later this year or early next in Vegas at the Sphere. They went from a band that played with no special effects and seats sold behind the stage to a really massive and quite impressive video display and programming with an incredible art director in Rob Sheridan.Â
I saw U2 at the Sphere and it was INCREDIBLE. If Pearl Jam did a few shows there, omg. 🔥🔥🔥🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
The visuals would work SO well there. Rob would have a field day with it.Â
Hi all— during the encore last night (I think it was RITFW but might have been Yellow Ledbetter), they featured my daughter and I on the big screen for an extended period of time. She was holding up the sign that I’ve included a photo of here. Any chance anyone got a picture of the screen/stage during that moment?
Found this in my video from RITFW!Â
Since I just logged in for the first time in probably a decade... Great show! I wasn't sure I would ever see this band again, so it was incredible to see them twice in my city.Â
Waiting for my flight back home, thanks Pittsburgh

I just a watched a video on YouTube that isolated on you and your daughter and the sign during RITFW. look for rockin in the free world 5-18-25 ppg paints arena by everything concerts.Â
It was a special show. I feel honored and humbled to be at that show. Lot of fun and meeting new people from all over. It’s hard to describe to non fans that there is a special connection from the fans to Peal Jam and vice versa, I can’t explain it, that feeling or vibe that I get with only them live. I hope to see them again in the future.Â
I really had a lot of fun with some Pittsburgh people I met, even walking around in my Eagles Super Bowl hat. And kudos to the Primanti waitress for giving me shit about my hat - way to defend your hometown! Very good times.

I'm near Buffalo NY now. Super tired. Will be a miracle if I make it to Syracuse today. In an hour and a half or so I'll look for a hotel for the night.
Stopped off at the United 93 memorial and it was somber… ran into a few pj fans headed East as well.Â

I was in section 103 which is FNB but I was on my own. Then during the wishlist tag I cried and the people around me thought I was weird.

We stopped there on the way to Wrigley in 2013. Â Extremely moving. Â
Yea I felt it my man, lotta emotions being there … being from NY, I’ve now unfortunately paid my respects at all 3 sites now… didn’t even realize it was close to Pitt on the way back saw the sign on the highway and just said I have to go and spent 1.5hrs there… a group of school kids were there too…. Just driving in I got a feeling, couldn’t shake it. On the way out, Sirius PJ radio studio version of Long Road started about 15 seconds after we got in the car…hard to hold it togetherÂ

I haven’t visited although I live close.  Many, many talk about the feelings you’ve described.  I’m sure being from NY brought even more emotion. Â

And if you ever come back and y’all win again next year a back to back shirt, hat would be ok with Pgh.  If it’s true it’s true! Â
My son was born in Norristown so we cheer for Pittsburgh and Philly (we love Philly). Â
Will be rooting for Philly if that ass Aaron Rodger’s comes here.Â
Heard a lot of people saying No Aaron Rodgers. Ladies selling me beer who loved my Gritty shirt said that too. NFL execs really let their politics make decisions for them.
Pitt is really into their sports teams like Philly - pretty cool. Too bad they don't have a professional baseball team anymore.

London guy was in 2014 St. Paul.
Heard no Aaron today also. Â Thank God!Â
We’ve got that new “huge” quarterback that we can wait to mature but you’ve got to let him play first.Â
Yes we are, for good reason, but baseball, don’t even get me started.  We will never be able to keep Skenes.  Owner is too cheap.  Story of our existence.  However, most Pgh fans are fair weather fans and I can say that cause I’m from here and it’s true. Â
And forgot, it’s awesome have more than one city in the same state doing well.  That said, go Phillies!!!!!Â
partner and i did the millvale music fest on saturday, basically from 130p til the last band ended around 1a. saw probably 10-12 different, mostly great bands. and other than beer/food (reasonably priced!) it was all free. a real fantastic way to spend the off day between shows, we had so much fun.
our hotel was next to the venue and full of pj fans. that part was cool, got to talk to a lot of different folks from all over. but the number of couples and small concert buddy groups carrying around 12+ posters and multiple skate decks and who knows what else in their overstuffed bags was disgusting.
i’d never been to pittsburgh. it’s a beautiful city and i wouldn’t hesitate to come back if the opportunity presented itself.
I stuck around yesterday for the Pirates game, what a beautiful park and the loaded pierogi from Manny's were awesome, highly recommended if you ever get back there. But that's the last time I take the Amtrak Floridian line. It was already a late departure, 11:59pm. I thought that was fine, I'd hit up a bar after the game then hop on the train and try to get some sleep. Well, it was the worst train experience I've ever had. I started getting delay notifications in the afternoon. By around the end of the game, it was up to 2 hours. Bad, but not the end of the world. Well, it kept getting worse, finally the train arrived at 3:30am. But then for some reason we just sat there until finally leaving at almost 5am! I got back to Chicago around 2pm when originally it was supposed to be 8:45am. As bad as that was though, it still couldn't ruin the amazing weekend I had.Â
