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.

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.
