Modern Pearl Jam gets way too much flak for their live performances. They're still an outstanding band.

I know a lot of folks complain about 2010, but given the only shows I saw that year were at MSG, those two were really incredible shows, the last of which is my favorite of all the shows I have seen. 2013 was enjoyable, but despite the longer sets it didn’t feel quite the same. 2016 I thought they were pretty damn good. I didn’t see them again until 2021 and 2022 but they were great both times.

I don’t listen to every show on bootleg, but from the sampling: Rome 2018, Seattle 1&2 2018, Wrigley 1&2 2016, Philly 2 2016, Moline 2014, that Toronto show where they played Binaural, the 2014 show where they played Yield, whatever show they did Vs., and maybe a smattering of others, they have their moments but I think they’ve mostly had a good run 2014-2022 (and presumably 2023). It’s really just that stretch from ‘08-‘13 where some of the shows seem like an excessive number of mistakes.
