  1. so far i am liking this msg 2 show/setlist more than any other of the tour, off of the top of my head
  2. Lots from Ten - plus Solat and Breath!
  3. and the covers are class choices
  4. lightning bolt in the encores is a no from me. first downer 27 songs in, i'm ok with that
  5. For me anyway, the start of encore two kinda sucks. Definitely not in line with the rest of the show.
  6. ...oh but I see they performed "Driven to Tears" with Stink.
  7. yep, with stink
  8. Ok well my shows are over unfortunately.

    After last nights amazing show I expected another epic evening. This simply was not the case .

    First off , I was a bit surprised at all the repeats from N1, the first 12 songs performed half were played N1 . 11 total repeats....that's way too many ,especially for a N2 in NYC . So this obviously took some of the juice out of the show for me , and I'm sure many others who attended N1.

    For instance why play Small Town , again , when u have a classic like Daughter ? Makes no sense as PJ are well aware that many fans are attending both shows and they have so many great tunes to choose from.....

    How about Dissident , STBC and Not For You over Jeremy Evolution and GTF ???

    The positives, Cheap Trick jumping onstage for Surrender was awesome . As was Garden Leash and Deep , all were just fantastic .

    The negatives , the repeats and the LB tunes . For instance, Sirens absolutely killed the flow of the set . I have never witnessed that building go from being so elated to dead so quickly ... The end run after was fantastic though .

    E 1 ...Hide Away and All or None were very good , but what's with Pendulum ? Talk about a cmon man really moment ...terrible spot .

    PT , Breath and SOLAT were easily the highlight run of the show , at least for me . STBC should have followed, but nope , the band quickly jumped into Porch , ending what seemed like a very rushed encore to me . After N1s fantastic encore I guess I just expected more .

    E2 was ok and rather average ... Last Kiss I can do without ...Driven To Tears was a nice surprise especially when Sting came out . LB (AGAIN) in E2 no less ... terrible spot , the show needed a classic there... this absolutely killed the encore

    Sonic Reducer ,Alive ,Baba ,Yellow Led ...decent run to close , but all very predictable tunes right there

    With that being said , still a very solid show ,no question ....I guess I just went in with my expectations too high ....

    N1 - Epic
    N2 - Very Good

    Well I was badly wrong. Never predicting another Pearl Jam set again
  11. Another fantastic show. A bit too many repeats IMO though. I really think 4 in 5 days is too much for them . Especially when you're playing at the level these guys do. I think that had a lot to do with the safe set. Encore 1 was amazing. I'm actually glad they pendulum , my first of this tour. Loudest Baba I've ever heard before. Incredible.

    My only real complaint is LB in encore 2 both nights. Cmon, smile would be perfect there. I'm surprised I haven't got last exit this tour but whatever. Anyway, I'm shot. Can't way to see them at Fenway.
