I had a different experience. Not to be a party pooper but I thought the crowd was bleh. Most of the 200s and 300s sitting. My section, 117 towards the back, didn’t move…at all. In fact there were ROWS of people who left in the middle of Porch. Everyone talking during songs…ugh. Also, maybe because I was under the overhang, but the sound was muddy to me. Mind you I was off to the side of the venue but still. Not my ideal setlist either. It’s pretty amazing how people at the same show can have different experiences.

That said, Ed sounded great. Definitely noticed the small new differences in production. Amongst the Waves, Footsteps, Crazy Mary, Baba, and Setting Sun were my highlights. That was such a good version of Footsteps. I absolutely loved SS last night too, that was a pretty heavy second half of the song. Really looking forward to Saturday in GA.

I had blast. From the GA this was hands down the best sound I've ever had in 14 shows. You could hear every instrument, it was very clear, Mike solos were still ripping, damn even Boom solo on Crazy Mary was not only audible, it just ripped too. For an album tour this was a great setlist for me because I love the new album, Wreckage is a magic song, React Respond kicks ass live, Setting Sun is amazing as a closer. Sure I wished we have one or two Vs but for people who never saw them I think a heavy Ten setlist was cool and Deep is always such a treat. I do agree some of the crowd was apathetic but I also had two long time fans in front of me rocking the hell out of the show (kuddos ladies, one of you had short blonde hair, you'll recognize yourself), while managing to not be annoying, something precious these days. I honestly hesitated to do another show after Austin and feeling they were getting a bit old (like me for sure), but they proved me wrong, Ed sounded amazing, the band was amazing as always. Hell I might not sell my ATL ticket after all (although I'm sure the sound will be mid at best).

I generally agree with HHV’s comments - which is always a scary proposition lol!

Section definitely affects experience. Hands down. I have seats for Saturday and I have low expectations for the crowd, hopefully I’ll be wrong. At this point, I’m just happy to see them so I’ll make the most of it either way. I will say, there were 3-4 people that went down in ga. One during alive had to be stretchered out, hope he is ok!!

That girl passed out during Crazy Mary 🤦🏽‍♂️

I feel like I’m in the minority here but the folks around me in GA last night agreed, the sound in GA leaves a lot to be desired. Because they didn’t aim the highs down at us, all we got was bass and mids, terrible sound engineering. You have Jeff, stone and Ed’s voice all low in the mix, and no treble whatsoever. We couldn’t even hear the lyrics until Ed’s range got above the lows in the mix, half of most songs he was drowned out, and most of stones guitar work was muddy and just blended in with the rest of the lows. Very bad sound- we were all about 10-15 feet dead center stage.

Something tells me they engineered their sound check to the seats about 30 feet off the floor, where I’m guessing the sound was superb.

Don’t take away from my experience, which was a good one overall, but it was startlingly poor, we could barely make out the riffs in wishlist- the guy from Argentina next to me actually thought they skipped the parts because we couldn’t hear the high notes. I had to point at Mike and say, “no, he’s playing it now, you can see him playing with the volume dial on his strat”

I think that might just be a “front of GA” issue? Sound at the back of GA, in the middle, was great. Sorry you dealt with that and that it soured the experience a bit.

Does anybody know the last time they played a show that had none of the following? Black, Jeremy, Betterman, Daughter, Elderly Woman, Given to Fly…

Of the 30-ish shows I’ve seen, HoB Orlando is the only one not to feature any of those songs. And every other show has featured at least 2.

The show was solid and the band is in great form. But I’m kind of hoping we get more of the big guns for N2 with deep cuts and rarities interspersed between. Probably in the minority here, but I love when the whole room is singing along at the top of their lungs.

nicknyr15 · April 25

I’d love Evolution to take a rest night 2. Looking forward to the DM tracks that weren’t played , hoping for black out of all the big guns. As far as “rarities” I’d love Breath, in hiding or in my tree.

You may be right! But it by no means soured the experience- I actually had a similar poor sound experience sound wise in the floor of Ft. Lauderdale in ‘16 which is kinda funny. But being able to see Pearl Jam with my beautiful wife anytime anywhere is one of the greatest experiences and memories a fan can have ❤️
