Man that is a *hell* of a setlist. How many tour debuts are in there?

What a set for the penultimate show of the NA tour !

Great fucking show!

It was a pretty day all around. I met Mike a few hours before the show at the hotel (but what had to be completely impeccable timing to coming off the elevator at the right place and the right time).

We got into for doors right at 6:30 and staked out a decent spot a bit to the right of centre. I think I started out with about 4 rows of people infront of me maybe.. was a little closer by the end (due to some crowd movement). Some poor girl nearly passed out in the pit. I had a total WTF moment. Luckily the girl standing next to me was all over it and she was like.. we need go get her the fuck out of here. So I tapped the people in front of me and we picked up her up and got her to security at the rail.

The set.. I got one of my bucket list! Heard Oceans.... I think I've now seen all of ten played live (except master/slave). There were quite a few songs from Ten last night.

The crowd was really really energetic. Reminded be a bit of Boise 2000. The small stop before the tour ended in Seattle, but an epic show.

This one ranks with Boise and Gorge 05 as my favorite ever pj shows.

Not sure how they are going to top that in Seattle... should be an interesting challenge.

Great setlist. Congrats to all who got to go. Lucky Bastards

nothing wrong with "my" shows in portland and spokane but this one........? wow :shock:

I'm at a loss for words. After getting through with the ridiculous sideshow that is the
line out front my fiancé and I walk down to none other then 3rd row center. This being my 3rd show and
my fiancées 1st it was already memorable before the first song. After a drunk girl caused a bit of a commotion things just went stratospheric. The two of us being able to have a chance to "have a moment" with Eddie and the guys and then have Ed search out my fiancé and toss her a tambourine. Pure magic. She told me that he looked her in the eyes and pointed to her when she was singing. I know we all think that but I was giving him the best concert sign language possible to tell him it's her first show haha. Either way this was mind altering. Pure magic. These guys are more amazing every show. Oh I may add in quickly they were the icebreaker that led to us getting married next year and even using future days as our wedding song. I'm so happy

Portland was awesome. This one was 'awesomer'. Great setlist. Finally saw In Hiding!

Yellow Ledbetter finish was great but the setlist I saw said Indifference. Intrigue! :-)

Seattle has been called out so I expect this show to be topped. Let's hope!!!

It's because that cute little kid on his dad's shoulders (GA center, about 12 rows back) had a sign that said "please play yellow ledbetter"

dammit - cute kids and their signs :P

I don't even know where to start. I thought LA1 of this tour was going to be my best show ever, but this one may have outdone that show. Love all the Binaural songs as that album is top 3 or 4 for me. I thought row 13 in the seating area on the floor was going to be bad, but it was close enough to see everything and we were on Mike's side so totally energized and rocked out all night.

Highlights? They were all highlights, but my gawd: Can't Keep, Breakerfall, God's Dice, In Hiding, Not For You (one of my four birthday wishlist songs), Gonna See My Friend, Soon Forget, THUMBING MY WAY!! (wept), Footsteps, Insignificance (second of my four birthday wishlist songs). Plus the usual favs like Evenflow, Go, Got Some, Porch, and Black (and wept again).

The best part of the night was when I realized that they were getting to song #7 of the first encore, then #8, and I looked at the time and it was getting close to 11:30, and I thought, this show is going to go to midnight. And it most certainly did.

The word EPIC gets thrown around a lot, but this one for me anyway, was most EPIC! I'll never forget this show, and I'll never forget this birthday! Thanks Pearl Jam!!!!!!!!!

Holy shit, man.

Just got back home and I'm still reeling from the show. What the hell got into them? I don't typically gush about performances, but this one deserves more than a thumbs up emoticon.

Everything has been said about the setlist which- short of being 'perfect' (which would be impossible unless one was to write it themself for themselves... to be perfect for one)-... was freaking unreal. In Hiding, Jeremy, Go to start the second encore (kicking our asses with it I might mention), Oceans to start the evening (I can't get it out of my head right now), Footsteps, Mother... are you serious? Black followed by Alive in the encore. Wow.

I've never seen the band so happy to be playing. They performed like they were trying to prove something to someone: blowing everyone away. Kick Out the Jams was them up on the stage absolutely frolicking about and everyone enjoying watching the spectacle. I have never seen Jeff so happy- laughing and smiling and clowning around with the 'glass hat' with Mike.

It was after midnight when they were leaving and to me, it looked as if they didn't want to go. Seriously... it looked like they wanted to keep playing.

Gotta say the crowd was awesome. I was in GA, dead center, about 20 people back. The people around me were cool and really into it. When I looked at the crowd in the stands... people were given 'er. Eddie said it, but it was the truth- there were a lot of beautiful people at this concert. Loud... the crowd really tried to match PJ's energy tonight and almost did... but PJ was the star of the night and showed why we all spend so much time on these boards and buy falla sheep.

They set the bar very high last night. If they have another show like that for Seattle tomorrow... then they truly are rock gods.

Ha, the kids' signs? Pretty sure they are the parents' props just like they are using their kids as a prop.
