If anyone has video or photos from "Sad" or the end when Noah was back up on stage for the bow, please let me know!! (I'm his Mom). I danced and sang along and tried to stay present vs filming. Particularly when Eddie walked him offstage...if anyone has good shots from Stone's side of their hug I would be so grateful. Thanks and what an amazing show....even without the mind blowing thing that happened to our family it was off the charts amazing. So grateful.....

Good on you for trying to stay in the moment rather than watching/recording with your phone. Way more special. And I'm sure you'll find a ton of pictures and videos, not to worry.

I second this comment. Always best to experience rather than record it. You know soneone will have anyway.

What an incredible moment for your family. Ed is an amazing human being.

Wow what a show for my first time in GA. I was 1 short girl away from rail but the people I spent the day with in line let me on their spot from black to the end. I got to touch Mike's guitar and scratch his stomach as he walked by lol. Also got a stone pick which I think I'll frame with my wristband and ticket beside the poster when I get my hands on one.
Lost my mind during last exit, whipping, it's ok, and wash. These guys know how to get me going man lol.

Hell yeah! That's awesome.

now thats a proper PJ show, incredible mix of old and new....Bravo. Too bad there were thousands of empty seats...

Is it possible you were in the wrong arena?
I have video of a packed house singing along deep into the 1st encore.
And there were may have been a few dozen empties at the back of the house when the lights came on for Baba. Prob the Jeremy lovers trying to beat traffic after they got their favorite song.

One thing I will say. Anyone going to QC. Plan/figure out your way back in advance. The taxi line was over a 100ppl long and there was about one taxi every 10-15mins on average. (No über available for over 45mins. Not sure why they don't just run shuttles to the center of town?)

Still can't take away from one of the best sets ever!

Amazing energy from the band.

My friend brought her "Thumbing" sign from MSG and held it up. He said something along the lines of "this one is for some people in that vicinity over there" (didn't catch it exactly) before going into it. It was amazing.

Four shows in seven days (starting with PHI2) and this was the best imo

All I wanted going into this week was Sad and glad I can finally cross that one off the list.

For those who get upset about some of the NY fans wanting more...
I am always grateful to be at any show of theirs and I'll take their worst show over someone else's best. But one can possibly understand (a little bit) when MSG goers see this set list and say "now why didn't we get that?"

It's because the band has played incredible sets like this, that some nights may seem just 'ok' to others. But I guess you can never please everyone... and some first timer is loving MSG2 (trust me, I know one personally).

In any case. Thank you to the greatest band ever. Again. As always. I am. Grateful. Too...

This has my vote for best setlist, on paper, for the tour

This was my 25th show and my second show in QC. I saw them at the Colisée Pepsi in 2005. Both times I drove 7 hours from CT and I have also seen all 5 shows in CT. In my opinion, the Centre Vidéotron is so much nicer than Colisée Pepsi as I'll take an expensive state of the art building over a nostalgic crowded concourse building every time. I also love how you can see the arena in the distance when walking around in the city. In 2005 there was no GA and I had 5th row center reserved. This year I had an equally good spot in GA thanks to the experienced Uber driver who dropped us off right at the main entrance and the almost non line at 6:30 p.m. In regard to the show I just want to start off saying that Pearl Jam is a great band. There aren't many real "arena" bands left and Pearl Jam are so professional in how they work the crowd and I really can't think of another "current" band who plays arenas so well. If you think about the current status of music, Country is huge and play amphitheaters and Pop mostly plays stadiums. I also enjoy how much of a showman Eddie is and how well he choreographs a show. I really payed attention and his timing is so impeccable when he raised his hands for the lighting and when he pointed to Stone and Mike for the solos. Also, for those in other posts who say Pearl Jam "mails" it in? Eddie once shook his head and he could of filled a glass with the amount of sweat that spewed from his head. I also really enjoyed how much Jeff and Matt sing backup. As far as the set list, I have to admit that I am bit of a snob as I am addicted to Pearl Jam set list tracker. I sadly overly enjoy trying to cross off songs. Personally, I only crossed off two originals (Of the Girl and Sleeping by Myself) and two covers (NATDD and Surrender) but can we really cross off covers? My main point about the set list is the "anthem" songs. Pearl Jam plays arenas for the general masses and not for the 1 percents like myself. The entire crowd lit up and sang along for the "hits" and "every night" songs such as Alive, Daughter, Even Flow, Jeremy, Small Town, Porch, Black, Corduroy, Better man and DTE. Plus for the person who said this set list was "average" on another post, they played 7 songs from Ten, 4 songs each from Vitalogy, Binaural and Yield, 2 songs each from Vs., Pearl Jam, Riot Act, Lost Dogs, LB and 1 song from No Code. Plus 3 covers and 2 B sides. My actual personal favorite song was You Are as I thought it kicked ass but when I looked around most people looked clueless like they didn't know the song. I also looked around and all of the seats were filled all the way to the top. I love Pearl Jam and though I will probably never cross every song off my list, I always smile when that first song comes on regardless if I have heard it before. I also like to give a shout out to Jeff's scraggly beard and the politeness of the French Canadians. Thumbs up overall.

That's a great set list! Hope they continue this in Ottawa! See you there.
