    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.
  2. Originally posted by EDDMB: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 .
    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.
  3. 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?
  6. 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.

    Just to name a few lol
  10. 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.

    It's amazing what you get - even more amazing how you got Breath three times. My top five "wish list" before the tour started was Sometimes, In My Tree, Habit, Whipping & Breath, and I got them all in two shows - Berlin and Krakow. Very surprising.

    My top two when the tour started were breath and IMT. I got them back to back my first show in Hampton lol. I love this band , as you can tell.
