Lets talk about the 2009 tour

[Strat]

Said no one ever.

How about the fall 95 tour though? I love those shows. Some really great corduroy jams. Open Road. Good stuff.

[VinylGuy]

the 2009 tour was pretty great, specially after that trainwreck of 2008.

We got new music ( even if you dont like it), they played No Way and Push me pull me, Perry Farrel, Chris Cornell, Jerry Cantrell, The philly shows....great year.

[EJ]

Love the debuts of Red Mosquito and Brain of J from the Nov 95 SLC shows. Mike just tears up RM.

Someone has been reading too many of those "vintage novelty funnies" on Facebook.

No Fuckin' Messiah 2 was my first bootleg and I loved the debuts from the 1995 tour. I played the shit out of those November dates, Red Rocks and Soldier Field. I don't prefer Ed's voice on the tour and Jack made some of the Ten stuff plod along, but I love the intensity.

Why doesn't this band go back to Red Rocks?!

Just as good a question: why doesn't Pearl Jam release the Red Rocks shows? I'd love to see them come up with a great quality recording of these. The one I have is pretty decent, but those were great shows along with Soldier Field and that Milwaukee show where McCready goes nuts on Little Wing/Maggot Brain.

2009 was awful.

[KurtLeon]

you are awful

[nyquillyn]

The October 9 show in San Diego was killer. The crowd was great, the band was perfect and the wife and I were drunk.

[VinylGuy]

also, ACL 09...amazing show.

[Angus]

Rotterdam 09 was not my favourite Pearl Jam show I've been to.

[LetMeSleep]

I thought the O2 show was pretty awesome. It was a good 10-12 song stretch of pre 95 material with 1 exception. Plus the SheBu gig was great just to see them in a smaller venue. Hand in hand those 2 gigs are highlights for me but nowhere near the 95 show I saw.

[warehouse]

i enjoyed the shows i was at

[Biff Pocoroba]

Went to the Seattle dates, two of the sloppiest sets I've seen them play. Night 2 had the more unusual song selection for a Pearl Jam.
I did go to Chicago 2 also. That was a good one; the first half particularly strong.

That was a fun show, not a great or killer show. Nothing compared to what they did in the same venue three years earlier.

Agreed. I thought the LA shows were more noteworthy. Maybe my expectations were too high based on 2006.

You're probably right. My own state of mind had a lot to do with it. We were sans kids for the first time in a couple of years and drunk. This was the one where Ed climbed up the stage ladder, right? Or was that the tour before?

I was at the Seattle shows as well. I did enjoy the first time playing "No Way" in 11 years, and even though I don't care for the song that much, I liked the version of "Supersonic" dedicated to the Soncis leaving town.

I heard No Way in '98 and selfishly wanted to keep it as my rarity.
