Best setlist of the tour (at least so far; good luck topping that, Pittsburgh).

Great set! In My Tree, Life Wasted (need play more), Untitled, Waiting for Stevie. Great highlights. Curious why Ledbetter not played when they basically stopped playing songs at 10:54.

Redmosquito91 · May 14

Hell of a night! Band was on fire. Crowd was great. Tonight’s show and setlist felt like a ‘classic’ Pearl Jam show in all the best ways. Was glad to see Wreckage take a night off. Setting Sun as the opener was gorgeous and such a vibe.

Looks like Got to Gice was crossed off the setlist which is a total bummer, but doesn’t change the fact that tonight felt like home.

Sooo excited for PGH!

Energy seemed off Sunday (in the minority with that take apparently). It was ON tonight. Black is a masterpiece.

PrezIntense · May 14

Carolina in my mind was a nice touch. In My Tree was amazing.

hadfiiw · May 14

Holy shit what an opening. It was almost if Setting Sun was actually the last song from two nights ago then they immediately tossed us into a rocket and lit the fuse. Had to catch my breath during Amongst the Waves (an unexpected gem!).

Will ALWAYS love Lukin lol. Thank you!!

Have not heard Untitled/MFC in years. What a treat. U/MFC going into In My Tree, to Lukin, then Porch. Wow. Bee Girl was another unexpected gem as was Life Wasted and Leaving Here!

The crowd was 1000% better tonight than Sunday. A few people sitting unless the radio hits came on but was a LOT less than Sunday. Incredible for a Tuesday in Raleigh.

Thanks to everybody I met in the merch line and around our seats. It was a pleasure hanging out with you the last few days.

I think it depended a lot on your seats. Night 1 had a better crowd around me- everyone standing the whole time. Night 2 had more people sitting down near me- and a couple of loser loud talkers behind me. I had similar seats both nights, sections 129 and 123, respectively.

Life Wasted.
They played my favorite song from Avocado. I started screaming immediately.

Everything about last night was magical. First time in the pit. First time on the rail. First time seeing them so close. Amazing setlist with some of my favorites (Immortality, in My Tree etc). Getting gifties from Mike. All the fantastic people I met in line and at the show.

There's still Pittsburgh and who knows what we get there!

Berlin2000 · May 14

It was my 20th PJ show and I am beyond grateful to @JG82640 for making it extra special by hooking me up with GA!

It was a magical night and together with Sunday’s show, Raleigh will forever be a special place in my PJ universe from now on!

Thank you, Pearl Jam. Thank you, @JG@JG82640. My heart is full. ❤️

PrezIntense · May 14

Also thank you to the person who gave my daughter the Red Mosquito bracelet. Show #1 for her and she had a blast.

Two great shows.

So happy I could help make another fan's day! What a show! Best of the four I've seen this tour. Also my first in GA. The guys can still bring it. Here's to many more years of touring and meeting great fans like @Berlin2000!

jrfigg · May 14

The last of four shows for me between ATL and RAL, and it felt like each show was trying to one up the last. Thank you PJ for another incredible night!

walkunafraid · May 14

Show #31 for me. Snagged a pit ticket the morning of the show and ended up just a few rows back, Mike’s side. Met some really nice people in the outside early merch line and in the pit (though the drunk guy who kept stumbling and left a few songs in and the tall bros who barged up near the front for the final few songs were a bit of a buzzkill).

Some of us put in our guesses for the opening song and of course we were all wrong—Setting Sun was a huge surprise. I love that song and it worked really well as an opener. I can definitely see it being in the opener rotation moving forward.

I was a bit sad that this was the show that they decided to leave out Wreckage (it has a deep personal meaning to me, but I’ve seen it 5x, so not excessively “gutted”). Bee Girl was a first for me and one of my faves off Lost Dogs, so nice to check that off! MFC, In My Tree, Amongst the Waves were other highlights. Leaving Here was a lot of fun with Teen Jesus!

I was wearing my Ohana Fest shirt and at one point (I forget which song) when Ed had come up to the front of the extended stage he spotted it, looked at me, and made a rectangle motion in the shape of the logo with his hands. Definitely a personal fanboy highlight.

Much love to Mike for always showing love to the fans. In addition to the requisite awe, I came away with one of the Polaroids he handed out and 3 picks.

Loved Ed’s speech about biking through Raleigh and feeling like this is a place he could see himself living. I concur. Flying back to California today, but leaving a small piece of my heart in Carolina after my first visit there.

It was my 20th too... congrats!

My friend flew us up from CLT... we parked right next to PJ's charter jet... was hoping to see them on the way out, but apparently they didn't leave after the show. Missed it by THAT much!

Agree with everyone too... this was, far and away, better than Sunday! Was GA on Sunday and 104 for this one... very rare for me to have seats at a show. Great view, but, damn, it's hard to get moving up there! And I waaaannnnted to! Especially when the molly hit as Elderly Woman was ending!

Setting Sun was a brutal opener because my girlfriend of 4 years has been leaving me this week, so thank God they turned it up immediately following. Loved the person with the MFC sign in GA... for some reason that had been on my mind too... AND with Untitled? That was the only new song for (excepting the new album tracks)... was really hoping to hear Clairvoyants again and can always do without RITFW, but... damned fine set list! Wonderful pair of nights in our capitol city! Thank you!! Much love and best wishes around the world.

So grateful to have been there!

Good for You! I love when you can tell some appreciates it! Cheers

Has anyone noticed they played Bee Girl last time they played in NC back in 2013?

Maybe Eddie knows Sleepyhouse is about a house in Durham, NC where the band “did stuff,” and maybe thinking of Blind Melon influences him to play Bee Girl. 🤷

highlights · 2:35AM

Bee Girl! ❤️
Everything you imagined
needn’t be stuck in your mind…

Tuesday night was great. First time seeing the band since they played Vs. in full in Greenville almost a decade ago. The band was firing on all cylinders and Ed's voice sounded so good. Hell of a show.

BRWilly · 2:53PM

Both shows were excellent! With 24 song sets, I'll gladly take just 6 repeats, especially when the majority of those are bangers I'll be happy to hear as long as this band still lives on. Have thought Setting Sun would make for a great slow burn opener since I first heard it and I'm glad they finally gave it a shot after cutting it from so many encores (just didn't fit as well there or as a closer since they want the lights down for visual). Thought the Small Town sign along was one of the best I've heard. Carolina in my Mind snippet was one of those localized/unique show memories that will stick with me for this one. Somehow got my 4th Bee Girl in 13 shows when they've only played it 27 times...I guess that song is chasing me. Great 2 nights in Raleigh.
