    Shame they went on so late and thus had to cut 4 songs.

    Life Wasted, Life Wasted Reprise, Better Man, and Sonic Reducer

    Although because they added Tremor Christ and Reprise is only like a minute, in terms of amount of time cut it probably wasn't a substantial amount

    Crowd near me in B5 was great — no talkers, which was a huge issue in Seattle both nights. Won’t back down was stellar with audience participation. Tremor Christ was the last song i hadn’t heard off Vitaolgy. And ran into a guy I first met 25 years ago, who sent me my very first tapes, and who I last saw at wrigley 2013. What a night. 
    Forgot about Won't Back Down and how loud the crowd was during that one. Chills thinking about it now. This show was so much damn fun.

    First thoughts:

    -Great opening (Sometimes!) and first set 

    -Encore #1 was amazing (Won’t Back Down>Just Breathe>Present Tense)!

    -Tremor Christ was special and sounded great

    -Down and Patriot could have been left for Fenway #1 2016...didn’t see the need to repeat it this year

    -I felt like the second encore didn’t live up to the rest of the great, solid set and left something to be desired.
    Of course, a few more songs would have been awesome (but we shouldn’t just be greedy and expect the band to go all out 35 songs/3 hours every single night)... I’d much rather see a Sonic Reducer, Indifference closing too than the usual Alive>RITFW>Ledbetter combo for example

    Sitting in a greasy spoon north of Toronto and they played Refuge by TP followed by Whip It by Devo whilst reading the comments. 
    Great looking set list!

    Great to read the “Sea” review to know what the hell was going on tonight. I agree it wasn’t the band’s best performance and the sound was a bit distorted much of the time, and thru most of Ed’s speaking. It was an off night. And a shorter than usual show. I didn’t even catch that it was an encore break. Sorry! I was sitting in the dugout seats and was surprised it just wasn’t as super fantastic as the 2 Fenway 2016 shows. Many thanks for an excellent version of Porch, Present Tense, and a bit of WMA and Waiting on a Friend. 

    Lastly, I noticed lots of folks near us spending more time on their phones/social media than digging the music and the fact that Pearl Jam was in the House. With us!! And yes....Brookline is awesome!

    What a great night! An awesome set list. Wish there was more time. It would of been an unbelievable encore with the songs that were taken off. 

    It it was also neat to see Ed’s wife watching some of the show from 3 rows behind me.

    Ed was liiiiit as fuuuuuck....

    Made for a helluva fun show, though. Really disappointed in how late they went on and the cutting of songs, but the show felt long with a rather eclectic setlist and Ed’s antics and dancing. They really looked like they were having fun all night and especially with laughing at Ed towards the end. 

    A couple tiny missteps but not sure if that was them or the mix. Otherwise sounded and felt great from A2 ADA. Even saw Mark Zupan there.

    Think Tuesday will be the long show with another even crazier setlist. Last night of the tour at a place they love to play. I’m sure now that they came out so late tonight that everyone will piss and moan and not show up as early on Tuesday. Screw that though, I’m not taking my chances and plan to be in my seat early again.

    Great night.... it wasn’t a top 5, but it was an awesome night. 

    The setlist had some nice surprises, this was my first time hearing Sometimes as an opener... Army Reserve was also fantastic. 
    Tremor Christ was a real treat, I heard them play that live once before, 20 years ago almost to the day. What a great performance of it tonight. I was blown away. 
    Mike McCready is a bad bad man... I consider it a great privilege to see him perform live.

    It was a fun fun first night. I’m looking forward to night 2.

    Deep breath everybody. 50 something shows- I've seen my fair share. Just saw the two at Wrigley, and yea the boys have been mixing it up. The band likes Boston because its like their home away from home. Seattle is tough to play... EVERYBODY expects Godliness, Chicago is his home town so maybe some amped up- gotta make this a good one. Then Boston. Not NYC east coast bright lights, but the people who originally made the fight for freedom (wiki Bunker Hill). I'm from Ny, but went to Schoo here. Im a bit puzzled that it wasn't a 730 start, but hey. They played their hearts out. Buffalo Tom was so cool. I stared at Army Reserve bc I knew ppl would be asking about it. I didd the same from Tremor, Out of My Mind, and earlier Amongst the Waves (been a while). Petty salute tn may  have topped Wrigley, but whose counting?Not them. And thats why, maybe this their way of getting in that its 2.5 hours. Take it! No one can beat this. Out of my Mind was so unreal. And tremor- I did not expect that at all-complete shock. Any questions ask!

    #31 for me I believe. Solid, solid show. I was in b5, good folks, having great time. I personally didn’t do much singalong as wanted to hear Ed’s voice not mine

    One other note. Some of you are crazy and/or troopers with the merch. Lines everywhere.  I ran out during army reserve to reload drink and there was nobody in line and I was able to score T-shirt’s, flag, button

    Great time and crowd in my section - B99 - was really great. Enjoyed just looking around and seeing how much everyone was into it!

    Army Reserve was so awesome and the main set really had a great flow to it. Sound was very nice but I can see the people saying the guitars were a little low in the mix. 

    Pretty good show for, you know, not being in Philly.
