Damn. Cannot stand people like that. My nightmarecurmudgeoness said:So. It looked like good crowd energy. Interesting set list. Sitting across the field, I thought the cameras and lighting enhanced the experience.
Our tweet-sized take was: good show, but some of the people around us were awful. A lot of people were really, really drunk well before the band took the stage. And it’s hard to say how the sound was thanks to the two drunk dorks who loudly regaled each other with their wits The. Whole. Time. So, 👋 if you and your bud were in field box 22, shouting and shit-talking for 2.5 hours straight, you might want to tone it down tomorrow night (they told everyone they’ll be back); the very large man sitting next to you spent the show resisting the urge to stomp you both, and I doubt that many people have his patience and forbearance.We managed to enjoy the show nonetheless. Ballpark shows are a different vibe than arena shows; I’m not a big fan of Fenway — it has a lot of history, but … it needs updating. Anyway: we are looking forward to tomorrow night.0 -
Dang - I'm B1 for tomorrow, row 11 but on the outside aisle. I was afraid of the view. I'm tall as fuck so hopefully that helps.ragejoe said:One negative side note my ten club tickets were super Bizarre tonight (210xxx). Field B1 which was cool but cause we were on the aisle we were so far even right of stone we could NOT see the stage hardly at all and had to rely on the video board all night despite being row 9 B1 Im same section and row Tuesday but the complete other side of it so I’ll be almost in front of stone0 -

Had a blast. My daughter's first show so was happy to get a good mix of hits and other stuff. Fun people in our section. I wished they would put Setting Sun at the end, or at least next to last. Weird placement. But that's a minor nitpick.
Sound on the field is tremendous. We were over in B7. Great view and sound. Hoping to get back tomorrow night.0 -
Fun show last night. Incredibly strong start and crowd was very good for a ballpark show. Thought the main set flowed really. Encore was a little clunky to start but they finished strong with Blood and SOLAT."What can you expect when you're on top? You know? It's like Napoleon. When he was the king, you know, people were just constantly trying to conquer him, you know, in the Roman Empire. So, it's history repeating itself all over again."0

I do understand the complaints back in 2021. It was a hard pill to swallow. But this year I think they perfected a formula. New , hits and a few deep for 25-27 songs. Can’t ask for more than that. Can’t see how anyone could be disappointed setlist wise. I do understand personal experiences due to seats or idiots around you affecting your review though.schaefferlax said:If you’re not happy with that setlist, just stop going to shows.0 -
First show in ten years, ninth overall; first at Fenway. We were in F39 second row behind home plate. We really enjoyed seeing them play again. Footsteps was an unexpected opener for me but a great start. Release is always a favorite and the song my wife most wanted to hear. Corduroy was a barn burner. I enjoyed the Dark Matter songs - it makes the album so much better after I hear songs live. I love the drum part for In My Tree and was excited to hear that for the first time since 96. I loved hearing Glorified G for the first time ever as it is one of my two favorite Vs songs. Following that up with Jeremy was awesome. Just Breathe was our first dance when we got married so always welcome. My wife loved Song of Good Hope. I thought it was well done. Blood was a great surprise -Eddie’s vocals sounded strained but the song is so much fun. Another I had seen in 96 but never expected to get again. Betterman is always a fun sing along. They could play SOLAT at every show I see and I would be happy. It always kills live. The rest of the encore was a great celebration with the Star Spangled Banner a great way to cap it off.Overall it was an enjoyable show. Our seats were odd because they were separated from the field seats due to the infield. Made us feel a little apart from the crowd and we didn’t feel enveloped by the sing alongs like I do in an arena. Also, we felt terrible for the couple behind us. During RVM some drunk guy in the row behind them threw up and I think splashed them. Stadium staff escorted him out and cleaned it up quickly but that was a bit of a vibe killer.0

This guy just keeps getting better and better.This weekend we rock Portland0 -
Here’s my snobby review because I always have a wonderful time going to see Pearl Jam so that would be boring to just say over and over. So instead I’ll give my pluses and minuses compared to all my other concerts.
First my own fuck up: had no idea they were going to go on before 8! I missed the opener in the bathroom, oh well!Had seats in field 69 which was nice. A little further back then expected but I liked being a little elevated. Sound was goodBeginning had a lot of energy with a lot of crowd favorites. Hail Hail is a great live song. Corduroy had a lot of call/response crowd interaction (as did better man later on).
ed sounded a little tipsy early and it let to some really enjoyable exchanges and stories (especially with cow man saying he was surprised he hadn’t been turned into hamburger by now and him telling a long meandering story about his childhood tree climbing only to come on after In my tree to say “oh yeah, I forgot the whole point of that story. The tree was called the green monster” lol). Love in my tree live btw.
I don’t think we will hear a ton of the new album again. They are fine but not memorable live to me. Ironically wreckage was the new one I enjoyed the most.I wish even flow and DTE went into rotation instead of being staples. Sometimes they start to feel stale to me when they are amazing songs. By contrast Jeremy was just awesome. Everyone seemed pumped for that and the singing was the best all night. But I wouldn’t want that every night either. Didn’t help that DTE had like a full minute missing from the beginning so they messed it up quite a bit!
Momentum was great going into RVM and then they stopped awkwardly to check on the crowd. Honestly they should have just gone to encore right there since it was a reasonable place to stop the song. Starting it up for the last 30 seconds was … eh… we all just stood around. Then another interruption in just breathe.
I enjoy the slow encore starts and liked song of good hope. It would be cooler though if it was slow full band starts (hard to imagine or parting ways starts etc would be lovely). The transition from folksy sit down to blood was jarring though . Encore in general felt up and down. Energy then went all the way back down to zero for setting sun and ramped all the way back up for SOLAT. That combined with the stoppages and encore break made the second half of the show feel a little whiplashy.RiTFW is always fun but agree with someone else on wishing it would be more rare. Fucking up is just as great. Also wouldn’t mind PJ stuff (why go? life wasted? Leash? Would love to hear all)
great first half. Ok second half. Very good show but not epic.

My 39th show and I 100% agree with all of this other than Wreckage, I think that song is awful, otherwise not great but a very very good show overall, looking forward to tomorrow!merlin401 said:Here’s my snobby review because I always have a wonderful time going to see Pearl Jam so that would be boring to just say over and over.

My favorite part of Dark Matter is that stretch from Won't Tell to Running. I think it's as good as anything they've done this century. Really hoping it's well represented Tuesday.0

That was a great, solid show. Perfect mix of some hits, new material, and rarities sprinkled in. Blood didn’t sound great but I applaud the band for giving it a go as I personally didn’t ever expect to hear that one again. So glad they’re a band that is willing to take chances and keep mixing it up…this band never mails it in.
Only low point for me was The Song of Good Hope. Glen Hansard is up there with my favorite openers for this band but my goodness is that song a wet fart. They should ditch the duet portion of the show if it’s going to be the same 1-2 song rotation…Just seems a little odd that something like Falling Slowly or The Song of Good Hope has been played more than awesome Pearl Jam songs like In Hiding or Animal.

Other songs on Dark Matter are simply better and should get played more. I'm not making it about myself I'm expressing a preference as to which songs I'd like to hear off the current album. If you disagree or agree with that, no worries either way. 100% sure the band isn't consulting me for set list advice😁PJammin' said:
