    I was in A3 and with the exception of a few people in my area the crowd felt dead down front. I guess the age of the 10c members is starting to catch up. Sound was great. Seating was really tight. Some people need to eat a salad every once in a while. The 2 people next to me were spilling over out of their seats. I could barely move most of the time. Overall thought the show was great.

    They should end this thread right now.

    10club members are old and fat!

    The end.
    Take me piece by piece.....

    That's a great setlist IMO. I'd have walked out happy after just those first 5 songs!

    Add to that Faithfull, Grievance, Strangest Tribe, some amazing covers, what's not to love?

    Rarities sometimes disappoint but Strangest Tribe was spot fucking on. Masters of War was dirty and mean, certainly Ed's political statement for the night (or at least the one he didn't feel the need to apologize for). Loved Mike's solos on Black and Comfotably Numb tonight although his sound was in and out where I was sitting. Great night but I was expecting something like they originally planned for Wrigley '13 when they had 40 songs listed.
    "Hey, listen asshole, one more fucker throws a fuckin' quarter up here and we're outta here, I'm tellin' ya, FUCKER! What the fuck, you're blowin' it for fuckin' everybody. Hit me with a fuckin' quarter again and, fuck it, I'm outta here. We're all outta here. Fuck you, and if anyone sees someone throw fuckin' change right next to them, you have my permission to beat the fuckin' holy shit outta them."

    What a beautiful version of Masters of War... Oh and..

    WOW!!! What an amazing setlist...Release into long road, Masters of war, strangest tribe, society AND FAITHFULL!! Truly one of my favorites. Loved grievance, down and fast patriot too. What more can I say...It was a great, great show!!! Seemed like everyone in the band was digging it too. Weird that almost everyone around us was sitting down for about 75% of the time. Don't get me wrong, we had a blast and danced like crazy anyway, but it was so strange. I mean, what the fuck were they all doing there?!? #evenbrosunite

    Instant classic bootleg, please!!!

    Band sounded great. High spirits. Was transcendent at times seeing them in my baseball shrine. Rarities were treats.

    This all being said -- I dug the greatest hits setlist at Bonnaroo more, and they sounded tighter then. Just my two cents. But I cannot complain -- it's Pearl Jam. It's Fenway. Enough said.

    Not only the best band, but the ballsiest.

    Well said... it's unreal. They hit a homerun tonight. Crazy crazy setlist. . Phenomenal opening with Release and Long Road. Best version of Masters of War ever... Mike was awesome... and then out of nowhere a fast punky version of fucking patriot! I'll also say one of the best versions of Corduroy I've heard and I love it closing the 1st encore!

    Mike is so good on Comfortably Numb! That's the most impressive setlist of covers in one show I've ever seen... All Those Yesterday's was great to get early. . Ed told great stories tonight and was just loving every second of it

    Really a top 5 show for me... Fenway sounded amazing too and the 10 Club really really took care of me. B5 on field right between Ed and Mike.

    The aerosmith cover was so cool and just what makes this band so awesome to do that...

    Phenomenal night. Definitely think tonight was better than either MSG show and goes with Philly 2 for best shows of tour so far. Can't wait for Sunday

    Release to open just like I wished for, Corduroy was killer, and Masters of War? Are you serious?! Was so not expecting that! It sounded AMAZING!!

    Overall the setlist seemed a bit unstructured, but a lot of great songs and moments, and the sound was great. Much better than I expected.
    McCready is a damn god. Could watch him jam for days...
    The Polaroid stories with the accompanying Polaroids themselves was very heartwarming to hear Ed talk about. And Mike taking Polaroid pics of the crowd at the end? Priceless.

    They stuck to the 10:30 curfew which kind of sucks, but the show didn't feel short to me. Can't wait for Sunday!

    This one came up short in my book. A few miscues,relatively short set list and a couple odd placed tunes.
    1. The first Fenway gig. 2. The band has not played Boston in 6 years 3. a Huge build-up.........? Then At 10:30 the lights are on and it's over, really..?it feels a little skinny for a PJ concert in Boston. Admittedly I am not a fan of the larger venues, nor should this band be either . My 2 cents. See you Sunday.

    Fenway had a strict 1030 curfew. Don't complain because you didn't do your homework.

    To be fair, the end is always the worst bit of the show.

    And they did play for about 2 hours and 50 minutes, what else could you want?
