holy fuck

say what you want about these guys.. and I've criticized them plenty myself over the last few years.. but good christ that was an incredible show.

maybe it wasn't the best technically, and yea there were plenty of hits, but the energy in there was off the charts. at least where I was.

sell all the fucking scarves and dog collars you want guys. make all the subpar albums you feel you need to, but just keep delivering like that and all is forgiven.

Ah, the post-show high...

#1 he paid for his ticket, he can enjoy the show however he likes. He's not ruining it for anyone else.

#2 he's not really posting from the show because he's not really there because he's not really real.

I am real. I posted in 2013 too and posted at the concert and everybody got mad at me then too. I am consistent if nothing else.

#3 if "he" (not Mike Jasonda but any figurative he) was right in front of me and holding his phone up to film the whole time, blocking my view, then part B of #1 above is no longer true, and Bammer's getting frustrated.

Luckily I was in literally the last row of the entire arena

ok fine, I'll give you that

This band is amazing. Going to a show is like waking up on Christmas morning and finding 35 presents under the tree just for you. 4 or 5 pairs of socks, but the other 30 gifts are just what you'd been dreaming of. I'm thinking night 2 will have more rare songs and be hailed for that, but this was the kind of set that a band could walk away forever after. So many 5 star songs.

Take it to the streets.

I loved that cover. It was fun. I don't get why people lose their shit over everyday people, but this somehow embarrassing. I smiled like a daft twat the whole time.

I only knew the chorus. There are many worse covers than that.

Can we get a list please

That's s long list.

[mikejasond]

I feel bad for my friend I dunno how tomorrow can be good if you dont know the deep cuts, they did the majority of the hits tonight.

Im worried about tomorrow being Binaural, Riot Act, Self Titled heavy....oh well

[LetMeSleep]

what a weak cover

They have four more covers to redeem themselves.

This is becoming a theme with you.

It's not original but I might try it 3-5 times a night.

I could live with an S/T run tonight if it's the anniversary.

Please, no.

Please, no.

Not only was it done before, when that album was fresh and topical, but it would kill the momentum of any show. Everything after Marker would drain the fan club and the casual fans would go hang out at the bar.

[stip]

Playing any of these albums in a row post Yield would kill the momentum of a show unless people get swept up in the gimmick, but I think the newer material goes over better than people think

[spike]

okay okay, sounds like it was a goof at least

I agree that at least LB goes over better than I thought it would, especial with the under 30 crowd. The thing about Avacado is that it's to old to be new material and not good enough to be a classic Pearl Jam album. Vitalogy is the only album left that would make sense front to back.

[stip]

That's the only album I would really want to get front to back since they did Ten and Vs. I'm way more concerned about the overall flow and feel of a show that I'm at than any particular sequence of songs.


I would enjoy Backspacer, though

the fixer needs to get back into heavy rotation
