Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but if you're complaining about that show tonight, you should probably give up on live music. It's just not your thing.

I thought the show was epic - for all of you complaining about cornell getting four songs - i suggest you go pound some dirt somewhere. Those songs he sang were all ROCKERS. Cant wait to party in the lawn tonight. Hopefully far away from all you whining complainers. Youre the type of fans that make me sick. If you want a personalized setlist that you love, sit at home and make one. If you want to enjoy pearl jam - ill see you tonight.

There are some elements of this fan base that remind me of Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons.

Very well put. These are what I refer to as "nerd fans" - never happy - always have some technical BS spouting out of their mouths. Cant. stand. it.

Awesome setlist and from what I could see in the videos online, theband seemed to be in top form.

I am really looking forward to tonight and had a great time yesterday. Like I said before, the rarities and TOTD was really cool.

That being said, I am surprised at all of the hate being thrown at people who say anything negative about last night (you are not a real fan, dont show up if you did not like it). The point of Fanviews is for people to express their opinions about the SHOW - good or bad.

Unfortunately there are people who think PJ20 should be a 5 hour show where they play every rarity possible. Anything short of this is a "disappointment". If they played this setlist at any other show, there would be no complaints but PJ20 expectations are insane for some.

I'm from the "Fantastic Show" crowd...what a beautiful night (not including the rain)...

Here's my Youtube playlist of the songs I filmed (Strokes, QOTSA inluded with the PJ stuff...I also recorder the entire Chris Cornell set): http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL ... re=viewall

Enjoy...Today is going to be fantastic...

well well well, nothing chnages.

they play rare songs people are complaining, they don;t people complain how it is a greatest hit set. They have guest appearnces, and fucking full fledge TOTD and people complain.....

1. this is a festival celebrating their history, and TOTD is part of that early history. YOu have 2 members in the band that gave years of their lives to MLB, and to pay homage to a friend and their roots in their celebration is bad.....?

2. There are two nights here, do you think maybe all the stuff done Sat, is to maybe save a little for Sunday?

3. This is not a pearl jam show, it is a music festival celebrating PJ20, there are other bands and stages, them appearing shoud be seen as a gift, how often do we get WHO YOU ARE, a song they don;t play anymore without assitance of some sort.

in the end it is your experience, you can bitch, praise, whatever, your right to do so, but don;t fucking blame a band who has obviously heard the fans and done everything they can to try and satisfy everone with rare stuff, hits, collaborations, rare stuff we have not seen in 16 17 years (TODT) and will more than likely NEVER get again in that way.

4. you knew there was a lawn, you knew there was rain coming, what the hell did you expect when it was muddy, there were drunks and stoners, and you could not see?

Crowd ws electric in the Pavilion, and from my seats I thought Ed's voice was spot n for what he can bring nowadays (he obviously cannot pull off 1991 DEEP, so realize he is almost 50 and a smoker and deal with it) I thought they were fucking on fire last night, I did not expect a album clean perfomrance for shits sake.


THANK YOU PEARL JAM FOR AN AMAZING NIGHT ONE AND I CANNOT WAIT FOR NIGHT 2

Question: were the house lights on when they played Kick Out The Jams?

Amazing show. Cornel doing four songs was fucking awesome. I could have done withut Push Me, Pull Me and In the moonlight but honestly can't complain that show was a great set and looking forward to what i believe will be an abslutely epic night two. Night one clearly sets up night two for a longer set, no repeats and what should be maybe the greatest PJ show ever tonight. Can't wait for night two, reserved seats tonight baby!!!! Eddie sounded great, I thought the place was electirc. For those who were complaining the show was not "sold out" clearly they are eating their words now as the crowd I saw was full. Maybe not a technical seel out but that was one huge, amazing crowd. So great and now we get another one, woo hoo

Yes. It was one of the first things I noticed since I was on the lawn and could see the entire venue.

I don't think anyone else has mentioned this yet, but during this song Mark Arm grabbed McCready and Steve Turner and pushed them over to where Gossard was so the were in a mini guitar-summit-type of formation while they were playing. It looked like they were laughing and having a lot of fun!

Yeah, that part was awesome. It really was awesome to have so many forefathers of a musical movement on one stage on one night.
