The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
Habit was amazing. Stone wasn't playing during fucking up, he was making love to that guitar. Anyone catch the crowd drama towards the end of the show in the crowd? Random crowd shots were funny and scary.
Ed hands a harmonica or something to some woman who was behind this blonde woman who was front row, she was clearly not happy Ed skipped her. And this guy during yellow ledbetter they showed, truly horrifying. He looks like he just wants to kill everyone around him.
Really enjoyed the Moline show video but.. why the hell Ed's so lazy to never ever sing/play I'm Open in its entirety? The No Code show was the perfect opportunity to do that, but nope.. I bet there's no real reason behind it, just his usual laziness "I'll just go with the chorus and call it a day".. And Around the Bend, too.. I adore that song, and they always skip that second verse part.. I remember one time they played the whole song, maybe two.. in 96 I think?
I didn’t watch the video but I have listened to the show and remember that the No Code performance was rather clunky. If not for the sequence of songs there, is this really an all time Pearl Jam show?

It's a good show all things considered. If you're looking for best versions of songs, the full albums shows are never the best place to find them. Binaural is my fav, but the album performance in Toronto 2016 was pretty poor.. Moline was the best amongst the full album shows in my opinion, but the 1996-2000 period was when the No Code songs were played in full glory, and at the right speed.. Anything after that, may vary from pretty good to pretty poor.. And Moline is kinda a mix of that. Still good though for its era.
I feel like they were pretty spot on when they played Ten in Philly in 2016 (wasn’t at that show either). I figured it was mostly familiarity since they tend to play some semblance of half of Ten every night and No Code you are lucky to get one or two songs from night to night (since 2014 seems like you are more likely to hear a Pink Floyd cover than a No Code song).

Watched the first set. Not terribly good performance, weird pacing (as most album shows are). It looked like a convention, the crowd were so forgiving.
