    Great set... Really feeling for Ed as he was clearly struggling with his voice. So early on in the tour but hopefully 4 days of R&R before London will help. Same thing happened at the first London show back in 2018 and they had to cancel the second night.

    We Love you, Ed. Sending good vibes.

    So his throat was bothering him or was he actually sick?
    Appeared to be an animal, yet so polite.

    To avoid potentially being gutted for a fourth time in the last 6 years I have pulled the plug on any London thoughts I was having.  But I will catch up with the tour in the land of soccer next week.  Get well soon, Mr. Vedder.

    Brilliant set list and would have to have made it to Manchester. Hope Ed makes it to London okay - you could see he was struggling in Dublin a little too.

    thought the venue was a direct copy of the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam, impressed, sound was great, a bit of a hassle getting anywhere near the Merch once inside but sorted it at the end. EV clearly struggling with his voice but an amazing setlist and another great gig. Feared the worst after the group huddle on four songs but EV pulled through and home by midnight. And The Murder Capital were great second time seeing them and they are seriously impressive.

    OOOOOF. Hero for getting through it.

    Ed was extremely under the weather and it looked like the show might stop a few times. He soldiered on BIG time. Probably didn't want to have a third European tour with cancelled shows... Especially after charging £160.
    Not sure if pulling through ill and on meds helps the rest of the tour…

    Agreed my brother was there and is going to London, he is a bit nervous to say the least after forking out around a grand for the day out, cant be helped though maybe EV should pack in the cigarettes

    Really enjoyed it but Ed did struggle a bit, Mike did a bit of the heavy lifting to give him a break 
    Mike was unbelievable …. Insanely good 

    in fact the whole band were, seriously long Jams to give Ed a breather 

    nice show, seemed a touch short and super sad to see so little dark matter

    Thank you to all my very close a dear friends and all the new special people who got me there and through what is always the toughest quest for me. 
    I'm so grateful for the chance to see pearl jam again. I never thought I would. 
    Big love to you all.

    Yes!  I think the company that built the Manchester venue have done about a dozen or so like it now.  Looks like a Lego set/Amazon warehouse from the outside, but inside it's amazing.

    Incredible night, despite Ed's vocal issues - what a trooper for getting through it. Hope he's OK for the rest of the tour.  Loved hearing Off the Girl/Present Tense as the opening numbers.  Inside Job, I Got Shit, Fuckin Up, yeah!  Don't mind that they've cut back on the Dark Matter stuff (love the album BTW), gives a bit more room for the rest of their back catalogue!

    Surprised it was "only" 23 songs. I wasn't counting, but could of sworn it was 26+, but that's how good the show was. No dull moments, just a great (even) flow through the night.

    However, no Dirty Frank, so it has to be: Worst. Gig. EVER! Now come back to Manchester again, and soon!

    Yeah I hear that - especially when he said midway through "I feel like I'm doing damage to myself" haha.

    But I dunno. Three and a bit days to rest with the best care money can buy and he was probably already a day or two into it. I'm semi-confident he'll be back in action by Saturday.

    All I know is if I'd have had my fourth show cancelled for third tour in a row I would have had a hard time ever buying a ticket again.

    Also did anyone else step outside after the first few songs and have a member of staff give them ticket upgrades? We went from back of the venue right down to front row of the first block seating because I was trying to find somewhere to dance during Present Tense. Ended up being a great show to be seated at so I call it a win-win!
    "Hey Eddie, great show-- fuck you!"
