i got two!

[Birds in Hell]

Quite funny that I got one Gigaton song in a show on the Gigaton tour.

At least it was a good (and rarely played) one.

I thought after Ohana, all these songs would be played frequently. What a shame.

The two set changes were very good ones anyway.

Must have been a good one, PJ is trending on the Twitter. Long time since that happened.

yeah i thought it too...im guessing maybe in the next shows in the US we will be see them more often.

[LetMeSleep]

Keen to hear NAIS.

Glad this gig went ahead. Quite the setlist albeit still with some odd choices as far as a recovering throat is concerned. And welcome back to 3 covers plus 3 tags.

Cheers Spenno.

Ed sounds so much better within his range on songs like NAIS. I don't understand why the band doesn't stay in that sonic territory more these days.

[VinylGuy]

After the last minute cancellation on the day before (plus Vienna's and Prague's), I could not believe they would actually play, but they delivered.
The crowd was on fire, and you could feel that the band fired all cylinders to make up for the missed 3 shows.
The beginning of the set was incredible and the band seated most of the time (except Stone, as in Red Rocks '95), Eddie seemed much more comfortable on these songs where his voice really shined.
W.M.A. was my personal highlight, I never expected to hear it, and Josh brought some needed with toms in addition to Matt's drumkit.

The show seemed to switch to a regular one with Why Go and Even Flow, but there were still several surprises. For my 5th show on this tour, Porch was once again the last song of the main set, but Mike was on fire, with Eddie striking some notes on his Stratocaster.
For the encore, the roadies were brought on the stage as a thanks to their work, and I did not expect Do the Evolution given the fragile state of Eddie's voice. But it looked like the doctor made miracles (https://twitter.com/stefanraatgever/sta ... 9q-6B3I8GA ) in just 24 hours.
The "extended" ending with Alive / Indifference / Rockin' in the Free World (with Mike smashing and destroying a guitar over one of his amps) was a perfect ending for this European leg.
I still miss some elements from the "old" Pearl Jam (mainly more songs and more focus on the flow of shows) but that night was a much needed celebration given the past week.

Notes: Shame played a great opening set, with a warm welcome from the audience. I can't wait to hear their third album that should soon be out.
The opening music was The Greatest by Cat Power, as on few other dates (in London and Paris at least).
