Yeah I think it may well be a first with PJ, unless anyone can correct us?.

[VinylGuy]

i would like to see all or none more often yeah...help help, could work too. But thats about it.

I'm stoked that they brought back Untitled to lead into MFC. I've always loved that combo, hope it sticks around. That was one of the highlights of the 00 tour for me. Just thinking about it is bringing back great memories.

...33 minutes or so (we all got the reference).

i love Untitled. Its almost too painful for me now, because of the memories but it really lifts MFC.

What was that 33 minutes reference about?

[Monkey_Driven]

These new songs do sound great live.

[Dugg]

very nice to see speed of sound in there. especially going into yellow moon. should make for a good b00t.

Yes that is a great 1-2. It's like PJ saying "Go on, go for a piss, and you'll have time to get a beer too!"

There was no Even Flow so I had to call an audible and use Unemployable for a piss break.

It was a nod to Larry Bird, number 33 in your program, number one in our hearts.

[scrub12]

Untitled sounded amazing in 2000. So many great versions that tour.

Pendulum sounded really good. They didn't try to speed it up.

[jimmy mac]

ill say this. the sounded very tight and the passion was in ed tonight. really sounded fantastic as a tour opener

Did you hump Schlitz?

nope, didnt see her

i did meet jimmy mac though

If I knew she was there I would have tried to french her in the bad place.

Peeps is much nicer in person than on the WWW.

Every tour I go in nervous that they are going to start not being good and sounding old, and every time they teach me a lesson. They honestly sounded as good as I've ever heard them, and I would be the first person to say if they weren't good. Vedder sounded great, McCready is what puts the live shows on another level. Cameron was easily the best I've heard him play with the band. New songs all sounded great, I hate Speed of Sound and it sounded good. Pendulum was a really cool opener. Yellow Moon is awesome live. The whole second level was bouncing during RITFW, to the point where I felt a little anxious. There was nothing I didn't like, the slowies to start the show, the slowies to start the second set, even the old standby third set that normally wouldn't do much for me fit just right. Even Why Go and Whipping worked, and I'm "meh" on those songs. There was a ton of energy and it stayed high through that set to the end. Could not have anticipated or expected better.

[jimmy mac]

I reviewed the setlist and I do realize I have 1 nitpicking complaint. Got Some has never sounded good live. I love it on the album, it's one of my 3 favorite songs from it...but I have yet to hear a live version that sounded good. They should put that one away. Figured I should mention that after I deep throated them in my last post.

[numbers]

I love that they've completely changed when and where they are playing most of their songs, it makes it alot cooler to not be able to predict what's coming at the shows next week.

[Peeps]

i was kinda bummed they didnt play not for you or corduroy but im not sure what songs id have removed to make place

[super nintendo chalmers]

LOL at the bro who thought it was Release.

[Birds in Hell]

Is this correct, or the header post?

In the past I'm pretty sure they;'ve edited the written one before putting it on Twitter, if the actual show deviated.

The Twitter/Pit reports seemed pretty consistent (which is what I was going by) but it's hard to say.

They should post the setlist on the official forum soon, we'll know for sure then.

Thank you!

Drove in from Cincy. Was a great show. Pearl Jam usually sound perfect in an inside venue. Some notes...Unthought Known was much better than it was last tour probably because more people know and like the song by now more than they did last tour. Rearviewmirror has not gotten old for me yet as they really rock that simple song. First show without Evenflow and that was nice. Of the Girl was spot on. And Gossard played perfect! The only problem I had was that it seems the people of Pittsburgh do not have very good rhythm. They were way off on the singing most of the night but they did have a lot of intensity so that made up for it.

[WtOB?]

seems like they're fucking nailing these songs live.

[evenslow]

Flew to Pittsburgh. Travel Pro Tip: the Andy Warhol Museum is cool but way overpriced.

Some notes:
-- The crowd was fucking great, especially early on and even more especially when the band walked out. You could tell they were kind of taken aback. Immediately clapping along to Of the Girl gets bonus points as well.
-- Pendulum was a great opener. (as I called it in some thread )
-- There's nothing like new songs to inject some energy and focus into the group. They have to pay attention and that seeps into the other songs as well.
-- I thought MYM was a fucking trainwreck. I was actually laughing while they were playing. This band can play fast but I couldn't believe how fast they played this. They were a bit too excited. Definitely the premature ejaculation of the night.
-- The best of the LB songs was probably... LB, which I can't believe I'm saying as I was completely bored by it at Wrigley. They've tightened it the fuck up and are rocking it out way better. Could end up being a tour highlight.
-- Infallible was just okay.
-- The welcome return of Untitled/MFC.
-- I have been getting really tired of it, but damn if Unthought Known wasn't fantastic. The band and the crowd really elevated it and fuck it, I love this song again.
-- Jason Grilli was hammered.

[lefty]

I don't have much to add, but I really enjoyed the show. I was only three people back in the pit, which is by far closer than the other few times I've seen them.

I haven't seen the band since 2006, and my interest in the band slipped off a little with Backspacer, but I was kind of surprised at how well they still sounded, especially Ed. Of course, that might just be a result of being the beginning of the tour. I'm still not very crazy about Sirens or Let the Records Play, but the other new songs sounded much better than expected. Pendulum and Infallible, in particular, are very solid in my opinion.

Now can somebody point me in the direction of the audience recording that is out there? I've only found the Buffalo recording so far.
