GA was a mess. Maybe they changed it up eventually but the security team was only allowing one exit from ga when we tried to use the restroom. It was impossible to move... The only path was at the rear of ga.

Wrigley is a shitty place to see a concert if you are in GA.

Ha ha nobody feels sorry for you

This was quite simply the most emotional pj showed I've ever had the good fortune of attending.

Steve Gleason introducing Inside Job, and the song itself, was everything. I was originally not going to come to Chicago but I'm glad I was able to make last night's show. Heading home today (boo hoo). Tomorrow is going to be amazing, I can feel it.

Great set but like Fenway 1 , too many covers. There's just po many great PJ songs to justify that many covers.

I know. Great show but ga was ridiculous. Wasn't deep enough for that many people

Love. Love. Love. A super awesome evening! Thanks PJ!

I enjoyed this more than Fenway 1 but it felt very similar
Some serious great moments. Sad. Inside job. Light years. And the absolute singalong to end set 1 with daughter Jeremy better man.
Too many covers a la Fenway 1 and a lot of the same covers. But it was awesome anyway. Gleason, wow. EV was really affected by wrigley 2013, he brought it up 4 or 5 times. Makes that night even more special in retrospect knowing what they did for us and how much it meant to them.

Jealous of those that get to go Monday.

What a great year of US touring. Now what is in store for 2017? Can't wait!

Completely blown away. Awesome set list. AMAZING energy in the pit. I had an incredible spot that only added to the experience on so many levels. Waiting all day. Soaked in the morning then dried out. Then we finally hit the field and it immediately starts pouring again. I was soaked completely through. Didn't care. Here's the thing. I LOVE inside job. I've never heard it live. It has so much intense personal meaning to me. I've been hoping to hear it all tour. This is my last show this tour. I caught it. When I saw Mike strap on that guitar I was overcome with emotion. Thank you Pearl jam for a year I will never forget!

So glad you finally got to see this song live Jen!' I remember you hoping to catch it three years ago! It was so neat meeting you there! That was a wonderful experience, and I'm glad I got to go do that! Even if it took
1600mg of Serpquel and too many alcoholic drinks to survive sanely with 40,000 people!

much love to you!

this set reminds me of fenway 1...lots and lots of covers. sounds like an incredible night but i'm feeling night 2 is gonna be where it's at.
Agreed...Monday should be unreal!
Question: was Light Years fast? Sounded a bit quick.

We thought the same thing re light years

That is so cool Eddie mentioned The Hip. Tonight and the Hip's last show being televised meant a LOT to a LOT of Canadians, and the whole country got together this evening. I went to a street screening for it tonight and the communal love for Gord and The Tragically Hip was palpable. Not sad, celebratory and thankful. It was happening in all places across the country as though we were all doing it together. On streets, in bars, theatres, casinos, restaurants, city squares, parks, yards, living rooms, Canada House down at the Olympics, gatherings of Canadians living abroad around the world.... I don't think there has ever been anything like this before. It was really really special. And it was even all about raising money for Cancer research. For Eddie to mention it is very touching for a Hip/Pearl Jam fan.

This even made it to the news in Sweden, Canada saying goodbye to a beloved band.

Total fucking party. Steve Gleason intro to Inside Job. Wow. If that didn't jolt your emotions you have no soul.

Light Years has sounded fast to me every time I've heard it after 2000. I think it would sound better if they slowed it down a bit.

Am I the only one who thought for sure they were going to play Vitalogy when last exit started? Lol

Had the same thought. Great show, so many deep cuts. Loved it.

Oh and I thought surrender totally kicked ass.

coco butter · August 2016

My buddy and I were driving to the show yesterday and I said "how great would it be if they played Light Years and I Got Id back to back." As they're my favorite PJ songs... And they did. My face melted.

PJM3333 · August 2016

What an amazing night. The way the sun was setting through the stands and then they bust into Low Light. Fuckin unreal.

Scratch Last Exit off my list-finally! I Got Shit, Inside Job, Light Years - whoa.

Can wait for Monday. Need some Riot Act and No Code - less covers.

Setlist and show were awesome!!

Hate to complain, but... Seriously fucking still pissed off that security would not allow any cameras whatsoever. No point and shoot without detachable lenses. Had same camera I've taken to every show I've been to, but the Cub's management told the security that No cameras permitted. Had to take it back to the hotel. Tenclub should have specified this would be the case.

Funny there was a guy in the back of GA with a mono pod and DSLR recording the entire show without a peep from any security, who incidentally was right next to h on the back rail all night.

hrd2imgn · August 2016

Hearing/seeing Steve Gleason come out and talk to us and intro Inside Job was surreal, absolutely amazing. I. Not a cubs fan, but theobtage of the team during All The way made me cry, it was perfect for the song and the place

hrd2imgn · August 2016

Ohh yeah full band let me sleep.....rusty but cool none the less. I felt bad for the White snake guy, he was in the front row so you know he's a die hard, and Ed was pretty harsh( all on good fun) but to make fun of the guy for 2 minutes on a stage at a concert was maybe a little more than needed, onlyoment of the show I did not love
