Rock solid show for my 25th. My only gripe is Fenway itself. It's not built really for anything anymore. I can understand the allure of the 2016 shows and playing there for the first time but I would much rather see them in an arena which is built for concerts. I've been to all five shows there (tomorrow will be six) and have sat all over the ballpark and there is a distinct difference from being on the right field side and the left field side. When I've been on the right field side, it sounds great. When I'm on the left field side, there is a reverberation that comes from the PA system facing the home plate or somewhere in that vicinity. It's hard to explain but it's there. I know it's the venue and not the band because they sound the same every time I seen them, everywhere I've gone. The tone they possess is epic. I wish they would not play Fenway anymore, but I understand why they do it.

Interesting, I was in B159 on the left, and the sound really was not good. Tomorrow Im in B94 on the right so Im hoping that the sound is better as my mom will be seeing them for the first time! She doesn't know their music really though. Where we were on Sunday it was very hard to make out the music, it was very muddy and sounded kind of like noise, without much guitar sound. So that would not be a good sound for a first time listener. But hopefully the section tomorrow will be better

Very good show, they sounded great. I love Dark Matter…very surprised many do not. 

However, these shows are nothing compared to the 2013-2016 shows. Look at the sets of 2016 Fenway compared to now. All due respect, but those shows were epic.  

The band sounds better with these shorter sets and Josh in the mix. I’ll take that trade off. Also being able to take my loved ones who aren’t massive fans and knowing they’ll have a good time and won’t be totally fatigued by the end.

Very good show, they sounded great. I love Dark Matter…very surprised many do not. 

However, these shows are nothing compared to the 2013-2016 shows. Look at the sets of 2016 Fenway compared to now. All due respect, but those shows were epic.  

The band sounds better with these shorter sets and Josh in the mix. I’ll take that trade off. Also being able to take my loved ones who aren’t massive fans and knowing they’ll have a good time and won’t be totally fatigued by the end.

Counterpoint: "It's too long. You should just go with your friends."

Implying I have any friends who actually regularly enjoy Pearl Jam 😢

PLEASE STOP PLAYING WRECKAGE! 🙏

Other than that, Just Breathe and Song of Good Hope do sort of suck some energy out of the set, otherwise, excellent show! 

I’m not a fan of the Dark Matter album at all; I consider it their second weakest album after Riot Act. I don't get the hype.

To the "D-Bag" that talked through the entire Glen set- Go to the back of the pit next time! You ruined it for many of us! Why do you come to a show to talk about NOTHING that matters and ignore the music? ...Other than that a beast of a show! Hansard won the crowd over and he deserves more recognition- PJ were on top and the set list was great! Ted Nugent had a few good tunes in the 70's he is totally irrelevant why feed into his BS.

Rock solid show for my 25th. My only gripe is Fenway itself. It's not built really for anything anymore. I can understand the allure of the 2016 shows and playing there for the first time but I would much rather see them in an arena which is built for concerts. I've been to all five shows there (tomorrow will be six) and have sat all over the ballpark and there is a distinct difference from being on the right field side and the left field side. When I've been on the right field side, it sounds great. When I'm on the left field side, there is a reverberation that comes from the PA system facing the home plate or somewhere in that vicinity. It's hard to explain but it's there. I know it's the venue and not the band because they sound the same every time I seen them, everywhere I've gone. The tone they possess is epic. I wish they would not play Fenway anymore, but I understand why they do it.

Interesting, I was in B159 on the left, and the sound really was not good. Tomorrow Im in B94 on the right so Im hoping that the sound is better as my mom will be seeing them for the first time! She doesn't know their music really though. Where we were on Sunday it was very hard to make out the music, it was very muddy and sounded kind of like noise, without much guitar sound. So that would not be a good sound for a first time listener. But hopefully the section tomorrow will be better

Was in b94 last night. Thought the sound was excellent.

I never really understand these posts....What is the point of it? Did you ask the people to be quiet during the set? Nothing changes when people rant online after the fact. Did you move? Unfortunately, it is not someone else's responsibility to ensure you were able to hear the opener (or the main set) in peace. Is it inconsiderate? yes. But so is calling someone a D-Bag. And no I was not THAT D-Bag ( I am sure I am many other peoples' D-Bag but I actually enjoyed his set and had never heard him before. It was a great night. I hope you get the chance to experience it in your style tonight if you are going.

I went to both MSG and then tonight. I thought the setlist was great, and some I really liked hearing (Glorified G, In my Tree, extended Better Man). But the sound really let things down - MSG vs Fenway it was a huge downgrade. I think it probably depends where you are? Some people said they heard the guitar super clear above and the drums were muddled in the mix. For me, I heard the drums super clear but the guitar was muddled in the mix, and so it was hard to distinguish the guitar parts, making things just sound overall noisy and muddled rather than clear. I feel bad for people that don't know the songs well because from that angle (We were on the side) it was very hard to actually hear the music behind the songs in a way that is understandable. Tuesday I'm going with my mom whose never seen them before, and I hope it sounds better than tonight because she doesn't really know their music well and you couldn't really make out what they were actually playing from where I sat tonight! 

Am I crazy or did they skip the best part of Do the Evolution with Stone's guitar riff? I feel like we went right to the choir? Or did I just totally space out? Haha. Anyway it was a very great setlist marred only by the sound - having seen them at MSG I think it isn't the band's fault. But they sounded so tight and powerful and energetic at MSG and from where I sat tonight it didn't come across that way -Im sure they were playing great, but the sound difference of an arena vs a stadium was hard to get over. It did somehow send better to me on the encore - maybe my ears got used to it? I loved the encore set and Blood was a fun surprise though I would have liked Never Destination too!

I also loved getting Something Special, it's one of my favorites on the album. I think they should do more indoor stadium shows. The two show at the United Center compared to the two at Wrigley this year were more off the hook and a better vibe. It also sounded better.
