  1. I’m a bit biased here , but my Rome show looks to have been THE show in Europe . 36 tunes . 23 in the main set . Classic gig IMO .

    From the outside looking in that was the gig that turned this tour up a notch. I can’t choose honestly from Rome on. Kieran should have a good idea since he’s been to most of the shows.
  3. Originally posted by mofothethird:I was 3rd row in front of Mike in Amsterdam. During a song I was singing allong and jumping to Eddie totally saw me (i though but doubted so i did the "hangloose" sign to him and he copied back towards me and smiled.
    I was so flabbergasterd I just pointed at me ? WAS THAT REALLY FOR ME and he just pointed and nodded again.
    I've been to 4 PJ shows in my life. Of only 2 of them I was "up front"
    And that I got a moment like that even tho I was still kinda far away from Eddie's position , let alone all the interaction you get with Mike who is just the bomb... Yeah its pretty amazing. I have no idea what they drink but other bands could 100% learn from this band. There's not a lot of people that leave a PJ show without feeling happy AF.
    All well said. Not too much complaining after a PJ gig.

    Krakow or Berlin, man. I was at Rome, and yeah it was great to have over three hours, but the other two shows were just balls to the wall for the entire time they were on stage. Great setlists and crowds. Rome is a close third for me, though.
  5. But yeah, I love what this band gives. I was at the Madrid show last night with a friend who hadn't seen Pearl Jam before. He lived with me and had to put up with me playing PJ a lot, eventually he caved in and started listening to them. And he thanked me after the show for getting him into the band. More notably, what he mentioned was that Pearl Jam are so passionate from the moment they hit the stage until they leave. There's no instance where they're just phoning it in, it's pure intensity for over two hours.

    That's eight shows in Europe over, what a ride it's been.

    I’m a pretty big music fan and I gotta be honest that being a fan has been the most rewarding experience out of any band I’ve ever followed. There’s an unscripted, unique connection during each individual show that is hard to describe unless you are there.

    Any songs in particular that you missed out on during those shows?
  8. I dare not make a request on the 10c forum but if there were five songs I would like to hear in Seattle they'd be:

    Release
    Deep
    In My Tree
    Hail Hail*
    Jeremy*

    *saw in 1998 but not since.
  9. Faithfull, All Those Yesterdays, Grievance, Can't Keep, Around the Bend, Sleight of Hand, Rats, Glorified G, Leash, Satan's Bed, Speed of Sound, etc, etc

    Just to name a few lol
  12. It’s funny, I made a “wishlist” in 2016 just for fun and I ended up getting everything except Red Mosquito and You Are. However, both were on setlists but scratched. You Are was on philly 1 but scratched and RM was on both Fenway sets and both times skipped. I was very lucky to get some of my top songs multiple times that year. Release x3, Breath x3 , in my tree x2 in hiding x2.... man what a year that was! Plus finishing it with Temple of the Dog at msg was the cherry on top.
