I agree. It’s just after that main set the thought of “what could’ve been” inevitably crept into my mind. And I legit was losing patience during the encore.

I don't think I'm ready for the era where 7 repeats is qualified by "only"0

I think the more important qualification is “4 from the album they’re touring”. The other three were Alive, Even Flow and DTE. That pretty much counts as a no repeats show at this point.pjl44 said:I don't think I'm ready for the era where 7 repeats is qualified by "only"GTF, Corduroy, Better Man, Elderly Woman, Porch, Daughter, Black, Jeremy, RVM all spread out between the two shows - Ed was making a real effort here.By comparison, when I did two European shows in 2018 (Rome and Prague), I got 11 repeats - and those were off-cycle shows.Post edited by tdawe onCamden 2 2006, Newark 2010, Barclays 2 2013, Central Park 2015, MSG 2 2016, Wrigley 1 2016, Rome 2018, Prague 2018, Asbury Park 2021, EV & Earthlings NYC 1 2022, MSG 2022, Louisville 2022, Dublin 2024, MSG 1 2024, MSG 2 20240 -
Did anyone get a good pic of RITFW after everyone had switched instruments so jeff and Matt were banging on tambourines and singing? It really looked like everyone on the stage was having the best time!0

Honestly, it was far from my favorite encore: 3 Ed solo songs and a bunch of covers was not my preference. But it wasn’t enough to ruin the experience.

You said it all when you said it! They have more than enough material to play two full shows in any city without a repeat and you'd still have 2 amazing show, no need for covers, we're there for PJ songsogre1213 said:its a fuckin pearl jam concert, play pearl jam songsTweeter Center - Aug 29, 2000;Tweeter Center - Aug 30, 2000;Allstate Arena - Oct 09, 2000;Pepsi Arena - Apr 29, 2003;Bryce-Jordan Center - May 03, 2003;Bell Center - Jun 29, 2003;Tweeter Center - Jul 02, 2003;Tweeter Center - Jul 03, 2003;Tweeter Center - Jul 11, 2003;Tweeter Center at the Waterfront - Jul 05, 2003;Tweeter Center at the Waterfront - Jul 06, 2003;Madison Square Garden - Jul 08, 2003;Madison Square Garden - Jul 09, 2003;TD Banknorth Garden - May 24, 2006;TD Banknorth Garden - May 25, 2006;Fleet Center - Sept 28, 2004;Fleet Center - Sept 29, 2004;Pepsi Arena - May 12, 2006 New England Dodge Music Arena - May 13, 2006;Grant Park - Aug 05, 2007;Bonnaroo - Jun 14, 2008;Dodge Music Center - Jun 27, 2008;Tweeter Center - Jun 28, 2008;Tweeter Center - Jun 30, 2008 XL Arena - May 15, 2010;TD Garden - May 17, 2010;Alpine Valley Music Theatre - Sept 03, 2011;Alpine Valley Music Theatre - Sep 04, 2011 Corel Centre - Sep 16, 2005;Colisee Pepsi Arena - Sep 20, 2005; Wrigley Field - July 19, 2013; DCU Center - Oct 15, 2013; DCU Center - Oct 16, 2013; Fenway Park - August 5, 2016; Fenway Park - August 7, 2016

This was my first show at MSG and I thought the band sounded tight and Ed's voice was great. Was in section 209 and the sound was really good up there. I enjoyed having Andrew Watt come on stage and play. This guy produced the best PJ album they've had in a while and I felt that he has brought a new energy and vitality to the band. Some bands keep doing the same shit over and over but this band really tries to keep evolving and changing and sometimes there are missteps but I'd hate to be listening to recycled songs over and over.
Section 209 was rocking pretty hard and I heard some bros complaining about the political stuff but I appreciate that about this band. Its great hearing men speaking out on behalf of women and offering up such vocal support. I know when I take my daughter to Philly N1 that she'll appreciate that support as well.
On a final note, as much as I've always been one to stand an entire show and have been to shows where I was told to sit down, I needed to sit quite a bit at this show because I just finished cancer treatments. Just remember that you never know what another person is going through. And to the guy standing next to me that was rocking so hard that he bumped me all night, I appreciate your numerous apologies but I loved seeing how much fun you were having that even those small bumps throughout the night made me feel part of something bigger than myself! Through all my treatments this past year, I have lived by one thought - don't say no to anything but yes to everything!
See you guys in Philly tomorrow!Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?
Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...

Was funny as my phone blew up like 15 times after this happened during Even Flow - was pretty cool as I heard from a few people who were at the show that I had not spoken to in years! Wish it was more clear!

My milestone 20th show spanning 29 years, and I finally got LEASH!! That was my highlight. I can never complain about a PJ setlist. Sure some are better than others but oh well. It's still my favorite band after all these decades. To be at the MSG once again was magical. The raw power of the city as the backdrop was as perfect as one might expect. Good energy up in 225 although I am still perplexed how in 2016 TC put me in the 100s but this go-round and as a single ticket, I ended upstairs. Lots of over-served folks near me (particularly a lady in the aisle screaming Let's Go Rangers and spilling beer on folks🙄) and guys filming with their spotlight on. Don't folks know that does nothing to help? Especially from that far. But regardless, I still had a blast and can't wait for my two hometown shows at Fenway later this month!!

The grass is always greener. Sometimes they do add that one song or two and it feels a bit contrived or out of place. I kind of felt that way about Leash. At this point it is what it is. Starting on stools, slow encores etc. I loved that Patriot. I was hoping to hear Rats. Oh well. There is not one song on that list I did not enjoy.0 -

It was a great show, I was in section 120, but agree with some of the comments about the encore. My analogy of the show was a basketball game. It felt like you went to your favorite basketball team's game, they got out to a massive 20 point lead at halftime (set 1) with the crowded going wild. In the 3rd quarter (first 1/2 of the encore), the other team cut the lead down to 5, and the crowded died a bit and everyone was nervous. Then in the 4th quarter (second 1/2 of the encore), they kill it and end up winning by 15. Great show!Murphy0

I agree all around - loved both shows, N2 was better and more rocking overall, and yes the mellow N2 encore section went on too long and killed some of the energy, but the performances were excellent. I could have done without the one Glen song and it probably would have regained the energy faster. That said, two more awesome Pearl Jam shows I feel lucky to have seen and they sound and played great. Going in wanted Pendulum and Present Tense and got the first one right from the get go! So good :-)yosi said:Been thinking about it, but honestly, I’m thrilled with the two MSG shows. 52 songs, only seven repeats (4 from the new album they are touring!) Band sounded great.
