    Very happy with that set. Highlights were Tremor Christ, Black and Present Tense.

    This show was amazing. Can’t wait to relive it at house of blues tonight and see what’s in store for tomorrow!  The band was on. Eddie was on. Mike was on. The production value of the show was fantastic. Unbelievable

    After waking up this morning and reading some posts on Facebook and here saying the show was not "good" I really needed to take a step back and wonder am I a Pearl Jam fanboy that thinks they can do no wrong? I know how I felt last night during the show and nothing would change that but I broke down the set and am still blown away by it. 

    Sometimes,Release (amazing version with great crowd support),Low Light(Eddie held that last note forever), Small Town, Corduroy was a phenomenal opening segment and one of the best I have heard. Army Reserve, Amongst the Waves, It's Ok (Still waiting for a crowd to do this tag justice), slow fast Patriot was polished and great. Much better than Chicago's. 

    I Won't Back Down had amazing crowd interaction. That second time through on the sing along was LOUD. Present Tense in the first encore was great, Tremor Christ out of nowhere. The first encore was the highlight of the show even with JB in there. Taillights > Draw the Line by a country mile too. 

    Out of My Mind. Wanted this song for ever and never thought I would ever hear it. One of the most amazing concert moments of my life. I get people do not like this song and don't get it but it just clicks with me and it has nothing to do with its rarity. Also only 4 covers played which is a step up from 2016. 

    Would I have liked them to come on earlier. Yes
    Would I have liked more songs. Yes
    Was it a great show. Yes
    Great post.

    I don’t think anyone really thinks that show wasn’t “good”. It was very good. A lot of treats. 

    However it wasnt “epic”. That doesn’t mean I/we all didn’t have an epic time, but I don’t think it was epic. They can’t all be right?

    ill join in the complaints about the late start. They played plenty of music but when you know 1030 is the end it makes for a bit of an anxiety every minute past 730. Seeing friends and family of the band leisurely stroll by around 745-750 felt like a bit of a kick in the nuts. Seats are in pairs, I too would have liked to enjoy another hour with all my friends before the show. And the stadium was 95% full by 7:15 so it wasn’t a case of “it’s chaos outside people can’t get in we gotta hold out until we fill up.”

    Stadiums are getting played out. It’s time to get back to the intimacy and energy of arenas. 

    Great time. Very interesting setlist, had a ton of fun.

    I know bands don't take the stage at the time printed on the tickets, but going on nearly 90 minutes after the advertised time was a bit frustrating last night - especially if the late start did in fact cause the show to be abbreviated.

    There were elements of greatness in the setlist and throughout the night.  Everyone can feel differently about given songs, I would be glad to never hear Out Of My Mind, which is just a clunker to me.  And although I am a veteran and appreciated the recognition of Senator McCain's passing, Army Reserve is just not that great of a song, especially at a stadium.   

    Minor complaints, though, and looking forward to more greatness on Tuesday at my 30th show!

    Question: Are they playing Do The Evolution in a different key or something? It sounded drastically different to me last night. Not in a bad way though. Sounded more ominous.

    They kept the tuned down guitars from Got Some for it.

    I was in g13 (lousy seats but whatever) and the guys next to me said they were looking out into the blocked off alley behind us and the band was sitting in their cars for a good 20-25 minutes.  Then rolled out into the arena and then came on stage (we could see the police escort just before they came on).  

    So im not sure what they were doing just sitting in their cars.  But that presumably explains why they weren’t on around 7:30. 

    Btw the show was fucking great.  Don’t get the hate at all

    Pretty sure it was an accident. Got Some was played in a lower key and Stone just jumped straight into DTE. He and Jeff seemed to think it was pretty funny

    Interesting. Can’t tell if I preferred it like that but it was definitely cool to see it changed up. Look forward to hearing the bootleg.

    Is it possible that those guys were on acid and thought 6 teenagers drinking in their old Hondas was Pearl Jam?

    Took my dad to his first show last night and we both had a blast!!  Our section was very polite and everyone was singing, dancing and engaged in the experience.  A few brief notes. . . .

    Release is always an epic beginning tune.

    Patriot-->Lukin-->Porch was slammin!

    Present Tense, Tremor Christ, Blood and Black were the best versions I have personally heard live and I say that being someone who feels that Black often dulls the vibe for me.  My dad loves the song though so I was glad they played it.

    Out of My Mind was unexpected.  Not my favorite tune but I appreciate having seen it given the rarity of it

    The Buffalo Tom cover was fantastic

    I think Tuesday is wide open at this point.  Should be a great time

    it's a fragile thing, this life we lead.
