whehar n WFS was not played in the 1st set I thought I missed out. I don’t think it has ever been in an encore until last night and it was a welcome surprise and sounded fantastic! It and upper hand are my top 2 DM songs (I love the whole album actually). Also when the crowd is as into the show like it was it even makes the hits like Jeremy a treat to hear.
And you know what was better than MSG 10? This right here was.https://youtu.be/6mhd7U8bBVs?si=kngV8b7kNh0qJZUn

Baltimore 2013 crowd was fantastic, hopefully tomorrow will match that. Not Philly level, but one of the better crowds I've been a part of. I remember Ed commenting that the energy level for a Sunday night caught them by surprise.

Probably somewhere around a dozen shows, mostly Philly, MSG and Wrigley.
Philly 1 had great energy from the crowd, but hell it was a Saturday and the parking lot was rocking the whole day. Monday I took my daughter to her first show for Philly 2.. definitely less juice from the crowd than on Saturday but the setlist was super accessible for more casual fans and she absolutely loved it. Great opening 3 songs .. Alive, betterman, Jeremy .. all super fun and never a bad time.. For not being a true fan she knew 75% of the songs so for me that was a huge win. Thought the DM material was really good and sounded great.. I loved the show and always think the Philly shows are pretty special.
As for the dude who thought Philly 2 stunk.. well what can I say.. I am old enough to know every show I go to I enjoy and I'm thankful to still be able to see them multiple times on tour.. I always leave a PJ Show feeling like I would love to to do it again the very next night..
FWIW - I am here to say Riot Act should get a little more love from time to time in their tour.. there I said it..0 -
Agree with Riot Act. Sorry Mike 😆
Every show is going to have a little less juice than Saturday night. That said…Monday’s crowd was still waaaaaaaaay above average.

I haven’t seen the written setlist, but I’m pretty sure Setting Sun was lost to Rats. I really like Setting Sun and like in the new closing spots, hate to have missed it. However, Rats was a very cool moment and an obvious highlight0

Does anyone know which song it was during that Ed leaned backwards into the crowd. I was one of them that held him up. Trying to find a pick or video I can screenshot.Post edited by rival9500 on1998: Pitt

Among so many great moments already mentioned I noticed two small Easter eggs during the performance:
1- the projected photo of the piece of backstage wall saved by the fan who now runs a music school with Pearl Jam graffiti on it also contained a portion of the phrase “Primus Sucks” near the bottom. Awesome
2- Mike threw a very brief tease of Soungardens Superunkown in during the set, second time I’ve heard him do that. Is it too much to ask for a full on cover of it at some point? Perhaps before or after Unthought Known?? Just a thought0 -

So, it's history repeating itself all over again."0

I met Mike in Philly the day of Night Two. After eating lunch my wife and I went for a stroll in the park and ran into McCready. Had to do a double to take to make sure I wasn't seeing things. He was the nicest guy ever. I simply wanted to say "have a nice show" but he called us closer, took pictures and gave us picks (which I immediately used when we got back to the hotel room- yes I travelled with my guitar lol). He definitely recognized us during the show (we were 8th row to the side) and gave us a nod too which was cool.
