Incredible show and setlist. I took my friend, who had only seen them once before but goes to a lot of concerts in general, and he kept saying over and over “Are you fucking kidding me?!”  This setlist is probably the perfect example to highlight the difference in points of view between people who were and were not at the show. If you were there, there was almost no way to be disappointed. It’s hard to imagine feeling anything but gratefulness and positivity for having been there. Energy from the band and fans was once again off the charts. Km
so proud of LA for representing. From Release forward, what a show. 

Expecting people who were not there to literally look at the setlist or length of the show on paper, and express disappointment. I hope they get shows like these in their home towns to experience and give them this perspective. These last two shows are in my top 10 (of 30 or so). 

BOOM! Perfect review. I agree 100%

These two show were the best I've seen them in more than twenty years. Give me these two shows over any three hour stadium gig any day! There wasn't a wasted second - especially in night two. I cannot wait for these two bootlegs to drop.

Awesome!  Can't wait to hit the Oakland shows. This week finally, hard to believe after all this time.

A fun fact for all the musicians out there too, I am not sure if they did it previously for this song but Glorified G was played a half step down in tuning.  Gave it a cool, darker vibe - it sounded heavy last night!

Besides Buttercup and Can't Put the Bullet Back in the Gun, anyone know the names of the songs Josh played? 

"My Hometown" dedicated to his parents and to LA! That one was incredible for me because right before Josh's set, I had been talking to his Dad in the inside concession concourse, and we concluded our conversation with a toast to our mutual Springsteen fandom. [Fun Fact: That last sentence that I typed had four long words that begin with "con-". Just sayin' is all]

Great night! From the first Release open, that Yield miniset, the Taylor Hawkins tribute, the request sheet intrigue, Miracles being the first cover of the tour, a full Save it For Later tag, a Leash surprise, and an Indifference closer — plenty to be excited about.

Three shows in, and this setlist was 54% (!) tour debuts. Only three Gigaton, two of which were new (and the other was Quick Escape for crying out loud). I'm loving how varied these sets have been.

this was a top 10 show for me, honestly probably closer to top 5-7ish. Again you just simply cannot beat being in The Forum, its the best place for a concert I've ever been to. Once they played Release I knew it was going to be a special evening and the energy going right into G2F and DTE was off the charts. I almost wished they played Corduroy and a few other songs to get the crowd really pumping and the stage bouncing. The crowd was really, really good last night so props to everyone who attended and participated in singing along. 

Quick Escape's ending is insane. Take the Long Way since it is a Matt song I can weirdly almost picture Cornell singing it too, very Soundgarden-y to me which I love. 7 o'clock is hard to place in sets (much like Buckle Up) but it ends strong, I love all of Gigaton so it was great to a get a large chunk of it nights 1 and 2.

Immortality, the Taylor Hawkins tribute, Unthought Known (really got the crowd going), Daughter (without a tag!) Glorified, Lukin, I Believe in Miracles and Garden -- just wow. An insane stretch, one of the better versions of Garden too.

Leash was incredible like others have said and to end with Indifference is always special. So glad they brought it for night 2, you just knew a saturday show in LA was going to be off the charts and it was. I was sad to leave, but looking forward to Vegas!

I got some pretty great photos. Sorry Matt...didn't leave you out intentionally.  Eddie was blocking my view of you all night LOL

The ending of the main set was fucking awesome because they just ripped through every song. No breaks. No Eddie stories. Just ripped through them.

To be honest, these crowds kind of suck…definitely not like the east coast 😉….but the band sounds great. Eddie sounded amazing yet again, but this time on a back to back

Highlights:
Eddie - “I’m not gonna let her out sparkle me, that bitch!” (Paraphrasing here)
Immortality, Garden, Glorified G, Unthought…and Leash was a great surprise (no more “lucky” back to “fuckin”

East coast bias much? West coast crowds are evrey bit as passionate and enthusiastic as anybody. Just not as obnoxcious as east coasters!

Please pardon my ignorance if this is something that everyone else here besides me knows, but has Matt ever before sung lead vocals on a song at a Pearl Jam show? 

In Rome 2018 but he stayed at the drums I think 

Pinching myself after such a great PJ weekend in LA. Loved night 1 but you can't beat the setlist from night 2. Release opener! GTF into Evolution were great. And then Immortality!! What a freaking song. Thrilled to get Garden, Leash, and Indifference. 

They sounded awesome! Eddie is pouring his heart and soul out there - maxing out each song. If they need to play 23-25 songs to keep the standard high for the rest of the tour. So be it if they sound this great.
