I don't chase songs. As I've said many times, I'd rather hear a so g I love than one I've never heard but don't love.
I think this has been a tremendous tour and most of the shoes I saw were among my favorites of the 30 I've seen.

Last night wasn't one of them.

I've never been to a show I didn't thoroughly enjoy. But I agree they seemed somewhat tired, somewhat less focused last night though happily celebrating. Audience was fine but no NY or Philly.

It was a great show. The setlist had some gems but I think could have been better (compared to Portland and Spokane). Daughter was unusually short, Cameron didn't play a drum solo on Evenflow, and Mike's guitar was a bit low. Crowd drowned Vedder out a bit during slower songs. I love the songs too but thought Ed deserved the mic. His voice control was exceptional this tour--never heard him command the tones so elegantly. All in all, they played very well and the crowd was clearly in love. A worthy tour conclusion.

For the people saying "decent", "could have been better", and the like, you got Garden, in my tree, Breath, Solat, Crown, Let me sleep, etc.n and a show which went well more than 3 hours. Why don't you guys look back at some 2000 or 2003 or 2009 setlists. The big wow in 2000 was Alive on the last night and Crown on the 1st night. I think they played Breath once in 2000. You are like drug addicts. Last night didn't give you your fix? What happens when the band hits their 50s and it is physically impossible to meet your needs? Are you going to eat them?

After seeing a bunch of posts complaining about the set not being good enough, I think these people probably aren't really fans anymore. By the way, a band plays a lot of songs from their latest release. They play songs which they are famous for. What made the songs famous? They're good or something? They played incredible rare songs. Anybody remember the Breath campaign? I really don't know what people want anymore. I think they ate too much of their favorite food and got sick of it. Forgot it was their favorite. It's a disease. I'm in awe of the set they played and astonished over the reaction.

Read my review!!! No point in perpetuating negativity, focus on the positives instead.

Yep, I thought that was great, thought I was the only one that noticed it.

Great to see him. I went to all of the Mudhoney shows in Seattle this year and figured he would pop up at one of those, but never did.

restlesssoul · December 2013

did anybody else score some sweet parking lot merch? bootlegged shirts 10 bucks! no lineups.....

I always buy these when asked.....i have some from philly in 2006.

but the one I love the most is the shirt I bought off a guy in 2000 in Seattle, still have it. He was selling them INSIDE McDonalds!!!!!

but seriously, the one I got last night is pretty nice, big logos, tour dates.

Shout out to all the folks around me in Section 101 rows 23-25, I had an absolute blast. The show always feels more special being surrounded by fellow diehard fans. I loved last night's show. I think everyone who's complaining was expecting something equivalent to the 2009 Philly 4 show. While it would've been mindblowing to hear 'Hold On', 'Of the Earth', and 'All Along the Watchtower', I can attest that as things were winding down, it felt like the show ended at just the right time and the setlist length was just right.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed every minute of the show, but I was awake since 7:30 am, put in most of a work day, sat through traffic for almost an hour to get to the Key, stood in the frigid cold for an hour for t-shirts just to find out most of the shirts were sold out outside but were being sold inside. At 12:15 I was ready to call it a night.

Incredible show, so grateful and happy that I got to see them. I think we're done looking backward. Just as the band would, let's look forward to the next couple of years, and hope the band collectively comes to their senses and plays a show or two at the Gorge rather than Key Arena.

Maybe this is why I rarely post on the forum. Complainers? Can you please get over yourselves. I was there.., it was a terrific show packed with energy. If you just read the setlist and made a judgement by it as "average', then you don't have a clue. How they played the songs, the solo's.., the song changes, the banter and all of the other random stuff we have grown to be accustomed to watching them over the years. If you didn't go, don't make snap judgements that make you look silly to those of us that were there. Kinda' like voting in my book. If you don't vote.., your opinion means nothing. It was a great, special night and I'll bet if you asked PJ what they thought, they sure in the hell wouldn't say.., "oh, we were average." To the f-hole that bought 60 stickers right before me.., not saying he's in the 10C.., well I almost caught up to you and that would have been really fun! :evil: Gal at the merch. stand told me if someone wanted to buy their entire inventory in one purchase.., they could! Ridiculous! Thankfully it didn't get leaked out about the release of some of the original PJ Faithfull Ale this week.

In wraps.., we are not in the band and do not have the ability to make our own personal fave. setlists. Let it go and be happy to go to any PJ show at all.., unless you feel every show has to be a Benaroya/Vegas 10th/MSG blowout every show they play.

YLed2 · December 2013

This show was sixk.

I got to party and hang with the "D" tricecta - Dallas crew. Derybydave, and Disgruntled Dave.

Sick show. Fun show.

TC3635 · December 2013

I have seen pearl jam 30 times and every show is great but really there is nothing like seeing them in NY. The band and especially the audience are awesome. There is something about Seattle shows that people just don't give a f or something I was really dissapointed when I saw them in seattle, thought it was going to be home town awesome but I think a lot of people there just didn't care, the show was still great just not the best.

Jason P · December 2013

Wow ... Another boring generic set list ...

:P

Dang nabits! Wish I could have made a show ... :fp:

ledbetter72 · December 2013

So this was show 31 for me since first in 92 lolapalooza. I don't post on here, but seriously everyone get over yourself, how many gems I saw, how many sing alongs...enjoy the ride and stop thinking everything is about you! If it bugs you to see a "generic" show, don't come, the rest of us will be much happier without you! So glad they got rid of the riff raff back in the mid 90's, seems sometimes they may need to do that again. PJ rules!!!

BizzzyBozzzy · December 2013

It was a really good show. It was not the best of shows. The crowd was lacking compared to some of the other shows I saw this tour. Probably on the lower half of the 11 shows I was at. The set list was great and the number of songs was great, and I'm thrilled every time I get to see the band and I never want it to end. But if I were to sit back and evaluate, it's not near the top. Really enjoyed meeting the people around me, especially a PJ traveler from England and an older woman who was solo that also saw a number of east coast shows. She was rocking out, I loved her!

Went to a bar late night after watching Sparty trash Ohio State and started bs'ing with a guy that couldn't wrap his head around me being so young (relatively speaking) and flying out to see them. We got talking a bit more and he was saying he used to get dragged to Green River shows back in the late '80s. Right there I was floored and the crazier part was that he said he never saw PJ ever.... Which to see GR and live in Seattle and never see PJ I was trying to wrap my head around it.

Turns out this guy went to high school with Stone and said he went to at least 10 Green River shows. I sat there and just listened to this guy shoot the shit for about 2 hours and just couldn't believe the stories from back in the day. It truly is a great experience every time you get to go visit somewhere and see this band. My friend got snowed in down in Portland and never made it but it was one of the best weekends I've had in a long time.

Squirrel Jam · December 2013

The show fucking rocked. I disagree with the comment about NY being better. I'm from NYC, and my experience seeing them at MSG in the past was beign surrounded by assholes on cell phones or who otherwise talked through shows. I was in the 200 level, BEHIND the stage, and every single person around me was on his/her feet for the entire show, singing, yelling, jumping up and down--it was awesome. I had thought about trying to snag a better seat before the show started but decided to stay because the energy was perfect where I was. And the band--holy shit. I can believe they wanted to play that long, what I can't believe is how amazing they sounded right through the very last note. I will never forget that show.
