1) Too many repeats. I expected and wanted Alive, Even Flow, and Elderly. Daughter was unnecessary, and really Do the Ev should have closed the main set and Porch should have had the night off.
2) The 5 seated songs tonight were bland choices. They opened with Pendulum last time they were in town. Open with Hard to Imagine, follow it with Alright, lean into Nothingman, send the Pit into a frenzy with Fatal (dedicated to someone’s moribund wife), and transition from the stools with Present Tense.
3) 3 covers in the encore.
4) The deep cuts were songs that were regularly played (overplayed) during their album cycle: Got Some, Severed Hand, and Unthought Known aren’t exactly gems. Or rhinestones. No one was excited for those.
5) All the Vitalogy chatter really made me disappointed when I heard the first few notes of Once following Last Exit. I was lucky enough to attend the No Code and Yield shows. There was a moment where I thought it was going to happen.
6) I love In Hiding so much, but Ed can’t do that one anymore. It’s sad, but it’s how aging goes.

In addition to these shows, I saw St. Louis and NYC last year. I cannot fucking believe I’ve seen 7o’clock twice and Quick Escape zero times. I thought that song was going to be a staple. Meanwhile, Whoever Said is awesome every single time.

you should probably stop seeing pearl jam live

Because I liked night 1 more? I had a blast both nights. I’ll keep going. Done for this year, tho

Did ‘Take the Long Way’ have a pumping bassline? Always wonder how much better that wouldv’e been on album with big bass presence

1. Punching the air

2. Pointing at invisible lyrics

It sounded fucking great to me! At least as good as any loud arena show can sound ! Super tight as well.

Is this a newish complaint now that the sets are shorter? Seems not so long ago we were all salivating for covers.
