Went on Saturday night and confirmed everything I'd thought and hoped for. Pearl Jam are just one of the great rock bands. They are an incredible live band.Worth every cent.
Pearl Jam are BACK

It was epic. I was in the golden circle tonight and god they were so good still.
I didn’t know this til after but the first night had a better setlist for me - lots of favs like Corduroy, In my tree, Just breathe, Hail, state of love and trust which weren’t played tonight. But we did get Black into Rearviewmirror which was nuts. RVM was the best song of the night.

Then you were well catered for. It was a great show but my only (mild) criticism is that is was basically just their new album and music for fans that stopped listening after Yield. I love the classics but wouldn’t have minded a couple more from the 2000s.

Had a great 2 nights, stood probably 15meters away from front for both shows. (1st show centre, 2nd show on Mike McCready side)
Probably enjoyed the Monday night a little more as the weather was much more bearable.
1st show highlights - Why Go opener, Hail hail, Not for You, Garden, State of love & trust and Mind your Manners.
2nd Show highlights - Porch early in the set was a surprise, Last Exit, Deep, Light Years, daughters its OK tag, Black & Rear view Mirror.
Although most of the new songs sound very good live, Seemed to lull the crowd a bit, as you would expect from a stadium show, there are many casual fans wanting the hits.
What makes the Pearl Jam experience great, You never know what you are going to get, much more exciting than the standard choreographed show.
Mc Cready is a weapon!

I quite liked the new songs - they sounded great live, but yeh for the audience as a whole it was not as well received as the older stuff (as is to be expected).
I went on the Saturday night and it was very hot. It was tough going in the GC.
Opening with Why Go was brilliant. Was so happy to get Not For You - one of my favourites. There were a few songs I would have changed - In my tree, Wishlist & Inside Job in particular. I would also cut down on the ending songs. We had State of Love & Trust, Rocking in the Free World and Yellow Ledbetter. Replacing one or two of those would have been great. Would have loved Black.
Having said that, I'm absolutely picking nits here. The concert was brilliant. Wish I could go again.
Pearl jam are a great live act .
If there's a band you want to see multiple times in the one tour PJ are it.
With ever changing set list,heaps of great songs.
We went on Monday night ,Melbourne.
Was a great night they sounded great.
Too many highlights.
Loved signing to rocking in a free world
.
Would of liked why go,wishlist ,corduroy.
But hearing heaps of older songs
the night.

The new album is very good, I’ve had it on rotation since it was released, and the songs all sounded great live. That said, six from the new album was a lot, think they could have cut one or two and given us something off Lightning Bolt or Riot Act or No Code. I really wanted to hear Smile live but no dice.
They got hell of alot of songs.
Hard for them to play everything.
I think they played 25 songs Monday night.

I was talking about this with my wife beforehand, 12 albums, b-sides, covers etc, I figured they had somewhere between 150 and 200 songs to choose from and a set list of around 25. Obviously there’s lots of album tracks that don’t get a run. But to get something from every album, you’d be capped at two. Obviously Ten gets more love than that, Vs and Vitalogy usually, plus they are touring the new album, so it gets a spin. Something has to give.
I have enjoyed each and every one of their albums, I just would have liked to see the new album and maybe Vs cut back a little, get a few more deep cuts in. Some of the earlier set lists on tour were magical. But then, I’ve also seen them five times and am still a fan, someone who stopped listening after the 90s and were seeing them for the first time would have been in heaven. It was still an amazing gig, obviously

Damn. 3 out of 4 shows they have played Black - and I went to the only one they didn't! Devastated

No, could only get to Melbourne night 1. It was a great night. Brilliant concert, but you could have dropped State of Love and Trust or Rockin in the free world or Yellow Ledbetter and had Black instead.
Probably would have capped off a perfect night.
I can't believe Sydney got Release, Black and Indifference. Amazing.

I've looked at all the other set lists and felt jealous for some songs being played, but know others will look at the set list I saw and feel the same. Hell with it, if they tour again, I'm just gonna have to follow them around the country and catch multiple shows.

100% the same.
While I see some other shows and wish I had some other songs, to get what I did, I'm also very happy.
I've long been a big fan of Garden and felt like it gets overlooked on the Ten album, so to get that was a massive bonus.
How any band can just dip in and out of a 200 song catalogue is beyond me. Simply amazing.
When I win the lottery, I'm going to travel America and follow them on their next tour. Go to every bloody concert until I see Rats live
Unlucky .
We missed out on corderoy.
Black was great stadium was black with phone lights .
Eddie said these 2 people got married and they going to every PJ show in the Oz tour.100% the same.

Might be going a little bit far...
I heard of lots of people going to all the shows. I also saw lots from oversees in Melbourne . I know of a group of guys who went to NZ and then every show in Aus.
Wish I could afford it!
Yeah I would to see them multiple times in the one tour.
to see them multiple times in the one tour.
Afford it and being lucky enough to get tickets are too different things .
We tried for sat night Melbourne no luck..but went Monday night.
Would of loved both ...but happy what we got.

True!
Although I suspect if you planned the flights etc... you would be able to get tickets on resale for most of the concerts. Bit of a risk though.
