    I loved every minute of N2 live and in person so exited to hear the boot!  Also gonna give N1 a good listen as we couldn’t make it to Pittsburgh in time for that one so will see what we missed.

    Listened twice last night. Will listen again today. It was such a phenomenal show with many highlights (not just the obvious for me). 
    This is also the place to thank again those who sent me the N1 shirt. I'll forever hold on to it and what it represents: community and friendship.

    I think Sleight of Hand was personal favorite of the night. So glad I got to hear it night 1. Damn... four weeks ago today I started to make the drive to Pittsburgh. Can I go back in time... does anyone have a DeLorean?  
    Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. Sorry, Ted, that's a dumb question... skip that.

    I happen to think it was a very apt choice for Pittsburgh. I was excited to hear it.

    Great boot! What a show! Imagine if I Got Shit had stayed and React, Wreckage, or DTE had gotten the scratch instead.

    agree.  It was like watching paint dry, so boring.

    I am a bit partial to N2 even though I was in the pit for N1. Probably an unpopular opinion....

    I walked out of N2 saying that was a very special show. But after listening to N1 I might need to reconsider when N2 comes out.

    I disagree with you guys. Sleight of Hand stood out to me at the show, and again on the boot. I can understand if it’s not your favorite song, but for the band to play that in 2025 and make it a trilogy is fire. Plus they killed it! The Hand Trilogy into It’s OK is so fucking good. Awesome intro to porch. I start the encore on my way to work in a bit.

    Something else that just dawned on me, thank God they started mastering the crowd again.  That sounded like absolute shit for years when they didn't

    Sleight of Hand was a highlight for me during the show. I love that song and had only heard it live one time before at OKC '22. Almost any song other than Alive or Jeremy is not going to keep the same crowd reaction following Even Flow. 
  • Shaindli1Shaindli1 MA Posts: 2,097
    Just occurred to me: 
    The band did an awesome job playing Grievance after 9 years and without practicing it.
    Matt did (adorably) flub the ending. Ed did say that if they fuck it up he's going to blame it on me.

    So yeah, sorry about that. 😉🤣

    I feel like I’m at the point where I just want to hear whatever the band wants to play.  I don’t need any gimmicks or trilogies to make shows special at this point.  At almost 35 years in, they’re all gifts and I’m just happy to be there as often as possible.  I’ve yet to ever see an average Pearl Jam show let alone a bad one - they’ve all been amazing - so I’m good with letting the band set the course.

    I really thought that when Ed started playing Future Days at PIT N2 that it'd be followed with All or None. That would have been rad.
