    Kind of thought Fenway 2 was better, but luckily I was at both and don't need to choose, haha! I'm so spoiled by this band.

    My one friend has only been to 4 PJ shows. Three of them were the last night of the spectrum, MSG 2 2010 and Fenway 2. The bar is raised so f'ing high for him that it's insane, hahaha!

    No Fenway 2 was not better than this show.

    I respectfully disagree.

    Agreed.

    Both were mind blowing shows, and just when you think they can't top what they've done in the past, they come back & do what they did this past weekend.

    Long live Pearl Jam, the greatest band I've ever had the pleasure of seeing live.

  • No Fenway 2 was not better than this show.

    It really is splitting hairs but if I had to choose I would still go Philly 2 but basically every show I go to is RIDICULOUS. They are on another level at this stage of their career IMO

    i also saw Greenville show so saw Vs. Ten and Fenway 2 as 3 of the 4 shows i saw this tour (along with Philly 1). It's really hard for me to choose between the 3. all were insanely great for different reasons. all 3 are probably in the top 5 fo the 27 shows i've ever seen from this band.i mean i still get goosebumps thinking of those 3 shows. and the 4th was pretty darn good too just not once in a lifetime like i think the other 3 were. hell of a fucking run from april to august though. had a fucking blast.

    Yeah, what a year...... I caught both Philly & Fenway shows, bookended by RNDM in March & TOTD in November.

    I didn't think anything could top 2015, but I was wrong.

    I'm back from Chicago after going to Wrigley 1. It was my first GA experience. Masters of War was amazing as we were in front of Mike while he was literally ripping the strings off of his guitar. Gleason introducing Inside Job. The show was amazing.

    It was not Philly 2 though. I'm glad I had a long break after Philly 2 and before Wrigley and I also went to GNR in Philly: I needed the change of focus and time to be able to see PJ again as we were so spoiled that night in April. That Philly 2 show was the greatest concert ever. The energy in that building was at a level I can't comprehend. GA in Wrigley was an awesome experience but Philly 2 is the all time champion.

    I know, when they showed that banner and everyone figured out they were playing Ten, and then they played a great set AFTER Ten. Place was just on fire.

    My Flyers partial season tixx are right under the banner. Somebody behind me said "only 10 shows" and I said well that doesn't count Camden shows, etc.

    Question about one of the lyrics. I was at this show and finally got the bootleg for it.

    During Do the Evolution Ed usually says those ignorant indians got nothing on me but during this one it sounds like he says something different.  2:20 mark
