    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.

    I'm with you 100% on every point. Finally someone else feels the same, I've been pounded on Twitter for having the same opinion. See ya Sunday! Here's to a stellar setlist!

    Red Mosquito, Lukin, Betterman all scratched from encore 2 due to 10:30 curfew. Really, 10:30 curfew ?

    I thought that 1030 was a "suggested" curfew and 1100 was the 'hard' curfew? I was really expecting them to go at least until 1045.

    Very surprised at the number of complaints here about covers and "skinny" set. It was 30+ songs in 2:50! C'mon back to earth now! This was my 18th show and I think it'll settle into my top 5 overall. I live in the area and was very glad I got the merch stuff done earlier in the day.

    I'm also SO glad they tricked us into the 6:30 preset. Imagine how late they would have started otherwise! It was my first time in Fenway, so I now understand how congested it is. What great place though! Eddie was giddy smitten with Fenway, you could just tell. The story about sneaking in long ago was just awesome. It makes total sense that they respected the curfew. I don't care much about the baseball stuff, but could tell it was special for many there which adds to the crowd's joy and overall atmosphere.

    I can see why not everyone loved the slower opening, but I thought it was brilliant through the first 7. The ramp up to Given to Fly and then MYM really revved up my area in section B1. The sound was great on the turf, and I'm really bummed to hear it wasn't in the grandstands (where I'll be Sunday). I couldn't see the stage, so I was grateful for the screens and great filming. Didn't ruin the show, by any mean, but I do wish I had a better number to get a good view in 10C seats.

    Strangest Vibe (WOW!) and Masters of War (WOW squared!) were my gems of the night.
    Patriot (even if it was a little messy) and Society were my personal highlights.
    Although I've seen it multiple times this tour, it was such a nice night/vibe for Comfortably numb.

    What a wonderful summer night of perfect weather and great music! Cannot wait until Sunday!

    I was just as excited as Eddie to be in Fenway. I walked in at 5:10 pm. Dropped my stuff at my seat and for the next 45 minutes did nothing but walk around to the Green Monster, by the mound, by third base, the dugouts, Pesky's Pole, the concourses.

    How can people be mad at them for leaving at 10:30? There is a strict curfew, why would they go over just to ruffle feathers? This is a little different than going over in an arena show. Dont be mad because they're following the "rules" these days.

    As for the setlist, you put this set in 2006, 2008, 2009, people go CRAZY for it and its the best of the tour.

    Well, Corduroy wasn't on the original setlist, so I think that keeps the speculation alive.

    How was the tenclub line getting tickets? I was there yesterday (but got stubhub seats for that one) but was in too much of a rush to scope it out, I'm getting tenclub tickets for sundays show, just curious if it really is worth getting there by 4pm to get in line. Two and a half hour drive for me, or I would have gotten them today.

    I walked by the 10C table at about 5:20pm last night. There was no line. Seemed like a breeze to get the tix. Nobody was there.

    I got to 10C will call at 6 for night 1, zero line

    Having seen some seriously great, epic pj shows over the years , I am SO jealous reading your post. You are about to experience something special and be blown away, for the first time ever. What I wouldn't give to have that experience for the first time all over again. Especially now- this band has a deep catalogue, still brings it, they care a shitton and they're bringing it for longer than they ever used to. Awesome.

    This was only my 2nd Pearl Jam concert, but I can certainly understand why people go to see them over & over again. I’ve been a fan since 1991, but after seeing them live, Pearl Jam is like an addiction that I just can’t get enough of now. While I liked the smaller, more personal venue at Worcester, MA 3 years ago, the energy of the crowd at Fenway seemed off the charts & it looked like the band members were having a great time on stage

    It was an awesome show & I was so glad to hear Given to Fly, I Am Mine, Black, Unthought Known & Better Man performed live. I was kinda bummed though when only a portion of WMA was played! It was my new favorite concert & I can’t wait until the bootleg CD is available

    You are right & I had a great time. But, I'm not sure if "incredible" adequately describes just how awesome it was!
