  1. 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
  4. 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.

    Ranking

    Philly 2
    MSG 1
    Hampton , philly 1 tied
    MSG 2


  5. Too much for them or too much for you?
  6. Them. It's a lot dude. They should of took a day in between the MSG shows. Not complaining though
  7. That's why I'm kind of happy that there should be a day in between the two Toronto shows.

    Hopefully they are, too. (I'm sure they'll be comped Heat/Raptors tix.
  8. I can't stop thinking about the last 5 days. Wow. Incredible stuff
  9. I guess early August may seem like a long time from now but at least you'll have something to look forward to - and those shows will indeed be pretty cool/epic.

    Man. Toronto 1 is very tempting. Tickets on stubhub are relatively cheap and I am off the next day.....
  11. They'll make it a MONSTER show if they have to move N2!
