*** Lincoln Fanviews Here 10/9/14 ***

Really jealous of this setlist. Looks great...had a blast in Tulsa, and still prefer what we got in STL, but this show looks great. Wish we could have made it!

Go/Why Go looks really nice back to back on this tour.

after the first 3.... BAMO!!!! "Go" packed a punch....I mean it was like getting hit smack in the mouth.... I was on the right side...4 or 5 rows back of people on Stone's side... the Bass was very loud there,...not sure if its like that across the front but on stone side,...at times....the bass was just a lil heavy....I'm always wanting it louder....but not necessarily all bass... it was all good though...it wasn't like it was uncomfortably loud...just some serious bass....like a subwoofer...

Who would have known that Lincoln would have been so awesome!?! Enjoy these highlights from another great night with PJ!

I may have seen better shows, more interesting setlists, but damn, I don't know if I've ever had more fun at a PJ concert. Everyone around us was great except one drunken asshole who should have been sent out of the place. Can't believe a guy thought it was a good idea to grope a gal repeatedly. WTF? Other than that "gentleman," everyone was so cool and friendly.

Thanks to the security guard up front for giving out water during encore breaks. That really hit the spot!

The band seemed to have almost as much fun as the fans were having and truly seemed to enjoy the show. I didn't recognize "Open All Night" and had to go back to listen the original this morning. Wow that was a great cover! Maybe the guys will have some more tricks up their sleeves this tour.

See you in Moline!

I have to agree that the show was the most fun with regards to the entire crowd being in synch with each other and the band. WRT the drunken gentleman groping the young lady, I take it they were not together? If not did anyone near him step in and tell him to cease?

this version doesn't do "our" rapid fire version justice. I didn't know the song but was just amazed by Ed's performance.

Hope some one took some video other wise the boot will have to do!

Ed quacks a lot and blows a lot of steam, but there are certain things he doesn't throw around lightly - "I know we will never forget tonight."

The band and Ed knew it was one of those shows. Can't get over how insanely great of a show this was. Outside of PJ20, probably the best crowd I have seen.

Your summation of why this show was special is spot on. I have been trying to put my finger on it, but it's kind of hard to explain. It was a once in a lifetime experience.

1/2 Full - Eruption!!! \m/

How does he access his emotions like that over and over and keep it so pure and real like he hasn't sung it 100s of times? incredible. They could just go up there and play the songs but they still FEEL the songs.

this was what I was trying to explain to somebody the other day. The band members are clearly enjoying the shit out of what they do

That was not only a fabulous concert, but start to finish an incredible concert experience, starting long before the show and continuing right through to the next day. Some highlights:

• We joined the GA line about 90 minutes before the doors opened, and just loved meeting and talking to people there. I didn’t know standing in line could possibly be so much fun. Thank you to all of you who helped to create that experience.
• Light Years, Smile, and the one-two punch of Go/Why Go were some of my personal favorites from the concert.
• Was it just me? I thought the band sounded particularly good in Lincoln. The last time I saw Pearl Jam was last fall in Oakland. Though I was absolutely blown away, let us say that I’ve not heard anyone make the argument that Oakland was one of the finest concerts from the 2013 Lightning Bolt tour. (After MFC, in which Ed forgot all but three words of the first verse and screwed up the second, he said, “If you want to see a perfect show, I’m sure there’ll be another band coming through in the next month or so. They’ll be great!” How can you not love this band? Even when they’re bad, they’re good. ) Lincoln, by contrast, sounded really solid.
• Once we got into the pit, we found ourselves in the company of a lot of really nice people, some of whom we’d met outside, others not. Some were locals going to their first or second PJ show, others from out-of-state hitting their fifth or seventh or eighteenth. What a privilege to spend the evening with you people! Thank you!
• I found myself, all 5’5” of me, standing a few feet behind a guy who looked like he was six foot eleventeen. (“How did I end up here?” I wondered to myself.) But I was able to position myself so I had a clear line of sight over his shoulder, and over the shoulder of another giant standing in front of him, and it was just fine. After the show, I told him that because he wasn’t jumping up and down, I was able to maintain my clear line of sight. He smiled, shrugged and said, “Yeah, I know I’m tall, so I try not to move around too much.” Wow. That’s a level of consideration I did not expect to find in a GA pit. I wish I’d gotten your name. Thank you, sir. Thank you very much. Thank you also to the tall guy in front of him who similarly stood still.
• This was my first trip to Nebraska (flew in from California for the concert), and I couldn’t have been more impressed. The people were fantastic, it’s safe and clean, the University is beautiful, the food was good, and all the money that’s been poured into the Haymarket has created a fun, vibrant environment that we enjoyed during the day and late at night.
• Where on earth do you find pleasant security personnel?! Nebraska, apparently. They know how to smile and everything. I’m still in disbelief.
• I loved the venue, and it’s in a great area. After the concert, the crowds poured out of the arena and headed across the street, where there are a number of bars and restaurants. We headed into a pizza place, shared a table with a couple that we didn’t know, and spent about an hour talking with them. By the end of the night, we’d gotten tips on all the things we should do the next time we come to Lincoln, and contact info so we can get together with them when we do.
• The next day, standing in line to board the first leg of our connecting flight, I saw someone holding a cardboard tube. “Concert poster?” I asked. Sure enough. In all, I think we saw seven members of our tribe on that flight, some of whom we recognized from the pit. I didn’t get close enough to all of them to say hello, so if you were on a 2:15 Southwest flight from Omaha to Denver, cheers.

In closing (for anyone who’s made it this far), I’ll quote my 10-year-old, who had a great time staying with her fun and amazing cousin while we were traveling for the concert. She concluded grace on Thursday night with this: "Oh, and thank you for Pearl Jam who are kind of in a way responsible for this being able to happen" Indeed! And thank you to all of you as well. I look forward to the next time.

Cheers!

That was great! Thanks for the share. I wish we had been able to arrive earlier to experience the camaraderie.
