I had a photographer's pass for last night's show, and got a picture of the set list. Everything was played but 1/2 full was suppose to end the first encore, and life wasted and evacuation was suppose to be played before Baba, and Ledbetter wasn't on the setlist. I was so pissed last night when Baba came on, because I remembered I saw Evacuation on the setlist, and it wasn't played, and I wanna hear some damn Binaural songs. So guys, please make up for it in Bristow, please please

Evacuation in the 2nd encore? Crazy... sure it wasnt Evolution? If not... too bad - would have liked that. I know a lot of people hate Evacuation but I like it... BINAURAL...

I'm also jealous of the photopass... very cool!

Are you going to CLE? We got there too late to hit the preparty in Indy... it was one of the crazier weeks I've had in a LOOOOONG time.

OK, so 24 hours later I still got the tingles (from the show and the weather)... Taking a road trip with my 9 year old reminded me of the trips my dad did with me so I was doing everything I could to bring such a high to him that it could have been anywhere and it would have been amazing... Been reading all the posts and I truly believe that the outdoor atmosphere plus the crowd made it an amazing experience... Yes there were lines and the delay could have made it awful, but once the first notes of Release started all the other stuff did not matter... The crowd was great and the band fed off of it... The first 4 songs really led it off to a great high... The new songs sounded so great... Hearing In My Tree and my son going nuts for Supersonic kept me warm all night... Insignificance was the tops as was the Indiana song (I love new stuff)... There is somethig so great about seeing PJ in a different venue and State... I loved every minute of it... It was also great sending in the songs for the setlist thread... Definitely a high bringing the experience to others... I love being a nerd following shows I am not at, so I was digging bringing it to someone else...

The only thing that was interesting to me (and I think I will start a thread) is I had the upmost pleasure of seeing all 4 Philly shows in October and this was the first one since... I found myself trying to compare it to that and it was quite hard to do... It's tough when you luck out and probably went to the best run a band has had in a long time and try to compare something post that...

Anybody else experience that sensation??

Anyway, Loved it and can't wait for Hartford with son#2 to do it again

Thanks Indy for a terrific time

FINALLY!!!!!! He chimes in! Pic was enough though Glad you guys had a blast.

Everyone complains about the traffic at Deer Creek...learn the back roads! The internet is a wonderful resource. Of course, it helps that I have family 5 miles from the venue!

The show Friday was awesome, saw both Columbus and Indy, loved them both. One of the largest crowds I've seen there. Being born/raised Hoosier, I always love going back home/to the midwest, and to see PJ put on the shows they did, holy crap! Wish I could have gotten tickets to MSG now, thinkin' maybe a European vacation is in order for this summer???

Now it is time to recover and get rested for work tomorrow.

I don't post a whole lot, but my two cents from last night...

WOW. The show was amazing! Thank you again Pearl Jam for rocking our fucking socks off!! My only regret is that we didn't make it in time for the pre-party. :( I was so looking forward to meeting some fellow fans! But, driving up from AL, not timing things exactly right...we just couldn't make it happen... Got to the venue a little after six and were able to pick up 10C tix with very little wait and get inside. I hate that everyone that got there just a little later than us had so many issues...

But the show was awesome! My 8th show (last one was two years ago in SC), and just what the doctor ordered for me after a total shit year...thank you Ed, Stone, Mike, Jeff and Matt...you NEVER disappoint!! Highlights for me were Release, In My Tree, Down, Why Go, Unthought Known (I can't put into words what this one has meant to me since Backspacer came out), Off He Goes, and Garden. Hell, they were all highlights! I'd also like to thank the crowd...the energy was GREAT, and that goes such a long way in the whole experience.

And yeah; the traffic sucked, the weather sucked, the restroom lines sucked...but come on, those inconveniences are not what I'm taking away from Noblesville!! Thank you Indiana, Alabama appreciates you!

And one more note...every saying Chicago folks are assholes? An adorable couple from Chicago sat next to us in Section D and could not have been nicer and more fun to share the experience with! So let's not make such generalizations... Sorry, that just bugs me...

Thanks again PJ for a great show! I'm just sad it's the only one I'll see this year. Hope everyone has equally incredible experiences for the rest of the tour!!

Amazing show; my all-time favorite. Columbus the night before was almost equally amazing but Indy's my hometown and I was with a large group of my best friends - and I had the best seats I've ever had. 8th show overall and first time I've heard Release since '95 Soldier Field. I can't believe it was a 15 year stretch...

Both encores were just incredible - and Eddie was clearly having fun and going all-out the entire evening. I think having his "biker-gang buddies" from Chicago in the crowd provided plenty of motivation. The bad weather also was clear motivation and he seemed determined to be sure that those in the lawn got rewarded for braving the elements. He was high-energy in Columbus and Indy, but the way he was running around the entire stage during the 2nd encore reminded me of early 90's. Wow.

Garden was a real gem and highlight for me; 1st time I've heard it. It really did seem surreal.

I got a peek at the official Schedule of Events card and it had listed - Pearl Jam: 8:45-11:30pm. So there's no question the band hooked us up by starting later (to allow everyone in - they'd closed admittance to the venue for 30 minutes which led to long lines) and also by playing right up to midnight. It seemed the night was over after Baba but Eddie held up his finger to the guys and said "one more...one more...one more"? and then Mike switched out guitars and YL was on. Wow. I caught the '06 cinci show and that was my one and only Baba; I listen to the boot A LOT...so getting that again was simply awesome.

To all the venue-haters: Deer Creek is generally regarded as a top-5 amphitheater in the US - but a rock concert will always be better in an arena. Good seats are limited. That's just the way it is. This appears to be the only outdoor show on the US leg (other than Jazz Festival) and it's where the band has always played in Indy.

Eddie promised they wouldn't wait another 7 years to return so I'm hoping the 20,000 fans (their largest crowd yet, according to him) provided the band plenty of reasons to Come Back. The energy from the crowd was great and hats off to everyone that stuck it out up in the lawn. I have to say that while us 10c are passionate about the band, it shows real determination to head to an outdoor venue with lawn seats in hand when every Doppler in the state is showing a brutal thunderstorm heading our way. Bravo.

so awesome! loved both Columbus and Indy concerts--can't pick a favorite--they both rocked my socks off!!--I could definitely go for another. Pearl Jam is addictive! I can see how some of you rich folk can do a whole tour.

so much to say but don't know how right now, so maybe I'll add something later. All I know is that these past 3 days off work have been phenomenal!

peace & love

Wanted to post my review of the show. 160XXX netted me Section A Row U. On paper these look like far away seats, but since they were off to the side, there were only like 5 rows between my seats and the stage (Mike side). I had no problems picking up tickets. Got to the ticket window at 7PM and had no issue. The bathroom line actually moved pretty quickly (mass exodus towards the restrooms during Evenflow). The crowd had tons of energy. The only beef I had with the experience was the setlist. I was hoping for one or two rarities or covers. Sure they played the Indiana song, but I guess I am comparing the show to last year's Chicago show (night 1). The sound was not that clear. And it was windy, but I was loving it because I had a long sleeve shirt on. Pleasantly surprised to hear Baba after Alive. Overall great show.

Must admit I'm a little bummed. First, nothing at all from S/T avocado. And second, I joined 10C in 2003. I sat right next to someone who joined in 2009. 2nd to last row floor section a. What's up with that?! Either they got real lucky or I was real unlucky.

I have been a member since 99 and I was way up in H. The day they went on sale I had them paid for by like 3 mins. after they went on sale. I was kind of disappointed, friends of mine that bought from ticketmaster were 5 rows behind me. But the band did not let down though.

no way bud....you let your membership expire and renewed within the last couple of years I would guess

I renewed in Jan 09 and got Sec H row N....

Have not, always renew in October.
