    I like this set list.  Very very nice.
    I've got my fingers crossed for Inside Job at the Seattle shows.

    Eddies voice didn‘t sound very healthy. He had to skip quite a lot of lines. Hope he will recover soon... Setlist was nice though, but still waiting for State of love and trust, Hold on or Won‘t back down. 

    And damn, these LED flashers are bright. I can still see them flashing when I close my eyes

    Wow. I originally thought after the show was over that it's a tie with Amsterdam II as best show of 2018, but after reading those fanviews I think this is the show to beat!

    Lots of cool stuff and crowd was electric! Mike was going crazy for that Corduroy solo!
    Could not agree more with you!
    Amsterdam II was my favourite so far, but last night I left thinking I saw the best show of this tour. I guess 2 things drove me to this conclusion. One the open air venue. Two my first Baba O’Riley live!

    Adding to the above is an absolutely amazing

    Plus Crazy Mary and everything else. These guys are just amazing!

    After the Pinkpop festival show, wow what a difference. Much better crowd. Being a fan club and golden circle makes every penny I spend on that worth it.
    I absolutely loved inside job and smile. Met an Irish group with Breath sign. My Italian buddy, his first show who is now an avid fan, wanted to hear it also. No luck, but who cares, the show was amazing. Top notch crowd also. Sorry to those in the back of the pit for putting up with my overly excited Italian buddy.

    Excellent show, loved the set list and performances, always a treat for me to see Boom getting stuck into the Crazy Mary solo and this jam with Mike was extra special, Eddie sounded great and true and seemed to be full of beans.

    I would like to say hello to the guy (if he is here) to whom I gave a bottle of water after his fall and has emptied.

    I drove the car to a bus, took the bus to a train, rode the train to a plane, flew 8 hrs to Italy, drive 3 more to Padova, wait 5 hrs in the hot sun, no sleep and for what? THIS SHOW! Some people do not understand but this amazing band makes every second of the journey worth it with the energy they give back to me. The set list was so varied and they played many of my favorite songs. The crowd was friendly and inviting even though I can not speak their language. I’m in love with Italy! After the show you would think I could sleep but NO I am so pumped from all that powerful music that I am buzzing without drugs, without alcohol. Thank you 1000 times PJ for bringing me to this beautiful country and for always giving it back to us 100x what we can wish for.

    I meant to add that the benefit of being a TC member pays off every time. So grateful. We showed up two minutes before PJ started due to a huge line up outside the stadium and with TC wristband got into the golden circle. Even though we were at the back of it we still had an amazing view and room to dance

    Sitting at the Venice airport waiting for flight to London then back to Denver.

    first, I planned to go to two shows as my wife is not an enthusiastic fan, but wants me to be happy and indulge my obsession. Unfortunately, London Night 2 was to be the first show. 

    A bummer but what can you do. And I’ll start with this show blew away my expectations, and I thought at the show that this has to be one of the best of the tour, and I’m glad to read in the previous responses some who were at multiple shows felt the same.

    Biggest Highlights: opening with pendulum - this, for me, is their best song in the last 10 years or so; inside job, so beautiful; black - I think the best version I’ve ever heard in the 17 times or so hearing it live, and the way the crowd rung it out was amazing.

    The entire band and the crowd were energized, having fun, and full of life. And I was glad to hear they will be coming back to finish the album. 

    Thank you so much Pearl Jam, and Italy for a beautiful night!

    Definitely one of the best PJ shows I've attended. Band in amazing shape, Ed above all expectations after the illness of the previous days, very present audience, great setlist with great classics and less usual songs. This year I could only attend this concert: I feel very lucky!

    I was at this show as well.  The show itself was fantastic.  I do want to note just in case any of the PJ management reads these postings that the venue entry process was very bad and caused many people to miss the start of the show.  There weren't enough entrances for the number of people and the security checkpoints were a horrible bottleneck (and didn't really seem to be very secure at that).  It took well over 90 minutes to enter the stadium.  On top of that there was no way in the stadium to know where your seat was as they only had row and seat numbers, no sections, and no signage, and useless ushers.  In my case I only missed part of the first song but this was not a well organized venue.  Again, the band was great, but I think the management should know what the experience was like for fans.  In contrast, I arrived at London 1 at the O2 90 minutes before the show and was in my seat within 5 minutes.

    Sorry to hear that. We had early entry tickets so we’re unaware of those problems.
