    LV2 was a privilege for me… I’m sure had things worked out, I’d have gone to night 1, but because this was the only show my daughter, Olivia, could make, this was it. 

    See, in 2022 I caught the band’s show in Phoenix with my wife. I learned the next day that Olivia’s boyfriend at the time asked her if she wanted to go to the PHX show but she turned him down because she wanted to see Pearl Jam with me and only with me. She was like, “If I’m going to see Pearl Jam, it’s going to be with my dad.” 

    i was crushed.

    Had I known she wanted to go, I’d have taken her… alas.

    LV2 was my chance to make it up to Olivia. This weekend was Olivia’s first time in Las Vegas, and her first Pearl Jam show. 

    We had a ball! 

    Many high points, zero low. Wreckage was the song of the night.

    When it was over, I asked Olivia what she thought, and she said, “I can’t wait for the next one.”

    Melts a dad’s heart.
    Something tells me we'll see you on the road!

    Hopefully that crushed feeling evaporated as soon as Something Special started.

    I only made it to Night 2.  51 songs over 2 nights... 10 REPEATS!  And folks on here complaining.  So ridiculous.  There is absolutely no fucking way for this band to please everybody.

    The "you're not allowed to criticize anything" crowd starts more arguments than the actual criticisms... Everybody doesn't have to like everything equally...

    Definitely a top 5 show for me (same with Vegas 1). Ed said his voice was having issues but it was hard to tell - still sounded great.

    Loved Severed Hand and only the second time seeing Of The Girl. The new light show for You Are is fantastic as is the screen for Setting Sun.

    The new songs are fantastic. So glad they played more of them.  Only missing Got to Give after just two shows!

    Crowd was really into it but everybody seemed totally sober - at least around us in section 27. People having a blast and enjoying themselves. Good times.

    The entitled attitude of some fans is a disgrace. They should just go away. If you feel like there are too many repeats, then maybe you need to cut back on shows or not go at all. 
    I died. I died and you just stood there. I died and you watched. I died and you walked by and said no. I'm dead.

    Ok you're being a bit over dramatic, lol. 

    We all love this band and everyone seemed to have a great time at both shows. Bring on the rest of the tour!

    I wasn’t talking to you. 

    I’ll say it again, if fans don’t like the setlists they are giving us, cut back on shows or don’t go at all. Simple as that.

    Such a weird stance. We’re here to discuss. If you can’t handle a few negative reactions maybe cut back on reading the threads. Simple as that.

    Having now listened to both shows a handful of times, I stand by my initial reaction that n1 was an all timer and this was more "standard great". Some fun stuff, and great playing, but it doesn't really stand out from the crowd. 

    Noticed during You Are that it sounds like Josh has taken over the main drum machine riff, and Stone is now just playing a normal part. Hadn't noticed that before (though not sure I've heard a recording of it since Josh joined the band)

    This is the only show I went to on Leg 1.  Got the bootleg and have gotten most of the way through it.  This bootleg CD sound outstanding! 

    As for the show, now that I've had a few weeks to digest it and am now getting to re-live it through the bootleg ---  somebody said it earlier, it feels like Eddie is talking before almost every song!  I mean that's overstating it, but it really is to the point where I feel it really interrupts the flow.  I think he admitted doing it to rest his throat, so don't get me wrong, I'm glad he toughed it out to get through the show.  The EB thing with the lady who raised money is cool, but there are literally like 5-minute breaks between songs at times.

    "Out of My Mind" was performed decently well for how much of a rarity it is... "Severed Hand" seemed really great, and "You Are" was nice as well (one little Ed flub on vocals).

    Listening to this right now. Remembering the good old days when they'd mix things up, and try things they haven't played in a while. And fuck things up instead of playing to perfection.

    I'm sure it's been said a bunch of times in this forum... there's no pleasing everybody.  They still mix it up remarkably well.  Vegas had "You Are", "Severed Hand", "Out of My Mind"... not to mention (I believe) 8 out of 12 albums represented.  And I for one prefer them playing a tighter, cleaner show.  I have seen PJ be sloppy and botch more songs on average than any other live band I've ever seen... at a certain point, it does take away for me.
