It’s been six years since they were out touring arenas in North America, and when the San Diego show happens, it’ll be almost the full six years to the date that they played their last one in Toronto. Figured for anyone nostalgic for two tours ago (yeah, too weird to say that) I’d post some of the reviews that were written for the Pearl Jam Concertpedia for you guys to relive. Feel free to share some memories, I’ll do my best to update this on each anniversary date

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)

    2016 tour was amazing! I'm a little early for the Jacksonville date anniversary, but man what a show! I was GA, 3 people off the rail, in front of Ed.  Killer show, loved the Elderly Woman opener with the lights on. Heard Rival, first time since 2000 for me, love that song! Got Of the Earth my first time, loved it! DTE into Betterman that night was particularly great. Just had a lot of fun at that show. Listen to the boot a lot.

    Felt like anything was up for grabs this tour with no record to tour. I only hit two other shows this tour (Greenville and Wrigley N1), but it was great following the set lists each night!

    I was at the Fort Lauderdale (really Sunrise) and Miami shows, among others.  Both those Florida shows were good, but in the words of a guy from LV that I was sitting near at the Miami show, that show kicked Fort Lauderdale’s ass! I remember the lights going off, Ed asking if everyone was in, and then straight into Corduroy with no let up for quite a while! It was great.

    Interesting. I was at Sunrise and Miami as well, and honestly thought that the first show was better. I think I was annoyed because there were so many more celebs in Miami on a Sat night, which I think caused it to start later than expected and pushed my seats back a little further. I also recall the seats were tightly packed - reminded me of Wells Fargo center in Philly.  I remember SOLAT into RVM was outstanding in Miami, we were sitting next to a fellow 10clubber who we met in 2008 in Camden, and have seen at multiple shows over the years. Made it to 9 shows that year, it was a great tour.

    Still can’t decide if Quebec City or Fenway 2 was better that year. Had rail for QC and was a mile away for Fenway so definitely different experiences.

    I did Columbia, Lexington and Fenway 2 (10C suite) and Lex and Fenway are both in my top 5. Just sad I missed Strangest Tribe by 1 show. 
    This show, another show, a show here and a show there.

    I happen to really enjoy this one. Lots of dogs, great dedication before HTI, the Tesla coil thing during LBolt is cool, full Little Wing. I know I’ve heard complaints about the crowd at the show not holding up their end of the bargain, which is a shame because I think if this set was played in a big city, many of us would be looking at it as an all-timer

    I was in the crowd and I patted Eddie's chest when he ran through it so this might be my favorite crowd ever lol

    I loved MSG 1 & 2 from 2016 and was left of stage for N1 and right of stage N2 and it kind of blended into one awesome concert experience - not so much like 2 separate shows but a blended, fantastic PJ experience.

    I was in the far endzone in the 300s with an empty seat next to me and a dunk idiot behind me. Still an amazing show. My partner's first-ever PJ show; she was hooked from the first song.

    Interesting note, this starts a trend of Eddie getting Boston sports trivia wrong (when he lists off the NHL teams, he mentions the Celtics) that he would continue later in the year at Fenway (mis-remembering former Red Sox players names).

    Loved that tour. I was lucky enough to attend the Tampa and NYC shows before hitting up Wrigley and Fenway. All around my favorite tour and bootlegs.

    I think it all gelled together on that cycle. Great humor from the stage, great setlists and acknowledgement of their entire catalog. I didn't see any shows, but it shines through in the recordings.

    Ed looked exhausted when talking before Release. I admit, I was shedding tears.

    It was my husband's and my wedding anniversary. We had GA, but did not queue, just hung out at the back of the pit with a friend. It was truly a magical night - our daughter was there with us as well. It was her 2nd PJ show - her first was the night before. It took us about 27 shows to finally get Oceans in Brooklyn, she got it two nights in a row in Philly.

    A very special evening for us when they raised the banner - we attended all 10 of those Philly shows.

    I thought Ed was going to cry as he talked before Release.  The arena was really quiet as Ed talked before Release. Incredible moment.  really enjoy listening to the boot for the talk before and after Release.   An incredible night all over.  Even after Ten the set list rocked.  Best show i've seen out of my 29.   And I was fortunate to also be at Greenville for VS.  12 days before which was amazing as well.

    Deserved remix and release too. The new mix sounds amazing for those that haven’t heard.
