    I was at this show as well. It was a mixed reception. As fun as it is to be at full album shows (I was at the Ten show in Philly as well), I don't think Binaural would be anyone's first pick of albums for this, including probably most of the band. As a fan, it was nice to be able to check off all the songs on the album from my "seen live" list but the bigger result was my least favourite Toronto show ever.

    I was at the show.  GA , third row ( approx) Mike's side.  Everyone around me lost their minds when God Dice was played.   Funny enough as we waited for the show to start I was talking with people around me and I said " If Last Exit is one of the first couple of songs played this place will be anticipating STBC to follow"

    Of course! There was a lot of anticipation/hope for a Vitalogy-in-full show, wasn't there? If  I recall correctly, someone had done a nice drawing of the album's cover on the sidewalk near the ACC. (Can't seem to locate that image online at the moment)

    You're not wrong, but the artist also did a few other albums around the ACC that day.

    Ah, I see. I guess the Vitalogy-hype took over one of the threads I was reading in the forum.

    I was there, and wow, I can't believe that was the last arena show.   Jeez.  Hoping for a massive world tour in 2022 in arenas.

    Someone started a play Vitalogy in Toronto thread. I chimed in with Binaural please and thank you. I’d like to think that’s all it took. 😜
    To quote the 10C from Newsletter #8: "Please understand we have a lot of members and it is very hard to please everybody. If you are one of those unhappy people...please call 1-900-IDN-TCAR."

    Just curious... why is this the “rarest” album to do live?
    Because after Binaural, and really for some of these during the 2000 tour, they barely even touched them. Grievance was one of the most commonly played songs... in the 2010s it was played a total of 7 times. That to me a is a waste of the song so important to the record. Evacuation, Rival, Parting Ways have all been played under 30 times total. Sleight of Hand, God’s Dice, Soon Forget are in that 40-50ish range. Especially nowadays. Maybe you’ll get Light Years. I’ve been to 20 shows since 2008 and have seen Breakerfall, NAIS, Insignificance, Grievance and Sleight of Hand. That’s it. If you wanted these songs, this was likely your one and only shot
    I was at Amsterdam in 2014 and night one they did Breakerfall, Evacuation, Light Years and Thin Air. For a non full album show I'd say that was pretty good.

    I was into it, by the 3rd song I realized it was going to be the whole album. At some point during the set my wife left our 10c seats to walk around because she was bored, she's been to many shows but doesn't really know anything beyond vitalogy. I read the next day that the ACC set a record for beer sales that night, I believe it was because all the people who didn't know or care for Binaural haha...

    Outside of this one show and anything post-2000 I’d say that’s probably the most they’ve ever done from Binaural in one show
    Hi, I host a Pearl Jam Podcast. We go back to some of the classic shows in their history and break down the entire setlist front to back. From historic perspective, to performances, to setlist construction, to fan stories. We do our best to capture the magic that is their live act and help you relive those memories, or if you weren't there, maybe turn you on to a show you've never heard before.

    Live On 4 Legs can be found on Apple Podcast, Spotify and any other major podcast platform. But please support our website and check out the episodes archived there. Oh, and the Concertpedia as well (for you Five Horizons and Two Feet Thick fans, we've picked up where they've left off)

    Really a tremendous night.  
    I still think about the power move you made asking the guys in front of us to switch places so I had a better angle to film.  No hesitation.

    People who dislike this album are really emotionally not tuned into the world.

    What if they like Parting Ways more than Of The Girl?

    I missed this show due to work changing my vacation time and would have loved to seen this show. Not sure about the full album front to back and the energy in the arena but the songs that never get played on this album would have been amazing to see for my first time. Parting Ways is at the top of my most wanted to see list and would love to catch it someday. 

    Also it is nice to see some familiar names talking about Pearl Jam shows and music again. This place has been pretty quiet the last couple of months. Hopefully with vaccine news and possibilities of new shows somewhere on the horizon this forum can be active again.

    You never saw ed do parting ways solo?  I think he did he played it each time I saw him (four total).
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......
