    And I felt not an ounce of shame pulling one out the bin

    I went to one bar and was told they had no beer left. They were still serving pints 45 mins later at another bar

    I stand corrected!

    Sounds like a bit of both so.

    Unforgivable to run out of beer at a gig. Really hard to get that wrong.

    Many years from now the real Pearl Jam fans won't be judged on how many times they saw them live, or how many years of 10 club membership they had... but on whether or not they were there the day we had to carry 4 pints of Heineken without cardboard holders through the crowds in Marley.

    They'll prob do a song about it and call it 'Heroes' or something.

    Write up on the Manchester show…

    https://www.theguardian.com/music/article/2024/jun/26/pearl-jam-review-coop-live-manchester-tottenham-stadium#comments

    My favourite comment…

    "Barklikeapuppy2 hours ago5

    The Dublin show on Saturday was shockingly good. Sorry we broke Eddie for everyone though"

    😂

    btw - the people on the pearl jam fan forum are a tad sensitive about what is or is not a good show based on setlists - it's very weird - it's like PJ should tailor everything to the 100 odd people who travel around the world with them and not the 40 odd thousand who haven't seen them in 14 years! That Marlay Park show will go down as absolutely legendary - it will be very hard to top. Amazing night!

    The setlist for Dublin was amazing but the 10 Club fans on Facebook didn't agree. I couldn't care less!

    I'd be in the camp of I'd have preferred more deeper cuts, but christ it was one of most fun times I've seen them. Fantastic day, would gladly take it again.

    They all want the white whales and rarities. A setlist full of songs nobody really knows.

    I was always big into music but over the last couple of years have left it slide for various reasons. My son boughte pearl jam tickets because I always loved them. I thanked him on Sunday for not only letting me be at an amazing gig but also reigniting my love of music. Listened to at least 2 albums a day since ......all PJ.

    They were grumbling about the Dublin setlist being a festival type greatest hits setlist.😁

    There are two types of people in this world - the ones who grumble about the Dublin setlist being a festival type greatest hits setlist, and the ones who rejoice in the Dublin setlist being a festival type greatest hits setlist.

    Joking aside, there's way way way more to your experience of a gig than a set list on paper. The PJ gig in Dublin had an emotional level and connection to and with the crowd that wasn't there in Manchester. Depends on what you're looking for. I've been to a lot of PJ gigs over the years, and the Marlay Park one was in my top 3.

    The Marlay Park setlist was exactly what you deliver in a city you've not visited for fourteen years.

    A friend alerted me to the forum comments the day after the show. Moaning about the same old songs being played, saying it was more like a festival set; these are some of the most ludicrous things I've ever read. As has been said, if you weren't there, you're not in a position to judge. 40,000 people went home happy. You can't feel that atmosphere through your computer screen on the other side of the world. They haven't been in Ireland for years. I can guarantee that nobody on this island is "fed up with them playing Jeremy."

    Also, while some might consider them over-played, doing twelve songs from the first three albums is how you get a crowd on board, especially after a long absence. That's half the set, so even if you were a fairweather fan who drifted away after Vitalogy, you'd still know fifty percent of the show. So, in that way, the setlist is catering to everyone, and, as such, was perfectly structured.

    2024 Gigs and Events: David Suchet, Depeche Mode, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, The Smile, Pixies, Liam Gallagher John Squire/Jake Bugg, Kacey Musgraves (x2), Olivia Rodrigo, Mitski, Muireann Bradley, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Eric Clapton, Girls Aloud, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Rewind Festival, The Smashing Pumpkins/Weezer, Henry Winkler, P!nk, Pearl Jam/Richard Ashcroft, Taylor Swift/Paramore, Suede/Manic Street Preachers, Muireann Bradley, AC/DC, Deacon Blue/Altered Images, The The, blink-182, Coldplay, Gilbert O'Sullivan, Nick Lowe, David Gilmour, ABBA Voyage, St. Vincent, Public Service Broadcasting, Crash Test Dummies, Cassandra Jenkins.

    2025 Gigs and Events: Billie Eilish (x2)

    well said, and i dare say that description would encompass the majority of the 40,000 that were at marley park.

    Europe is a bit of a curse for poor Eddie

    A few glasses of red wine and his best mate Glen Hansard should sort him out

    Roll on Madcool this day 2 weeks

    if they hadn’t played Jeremy I’d have been gutted. Looking at the set lists coming up to the gig I half dreading it think I wouldn’t know 30 percent of it.

    They played their biggest and best thank god. Not really listed to the stuff released in the last 20 years, does that make me fair weather or just someone who drifted away when I left my teen years.

    hearing the songs from Dark matter live definitely made me appreciate the songs more than I had when listening to it in preparation for the gig. I have listened to the album twice since.

    The **** is in the water of the fancy Dublin hotels ha

    Happened in London in 2018 too, so happy I got to see them the first night before they rescheduled. Green Day playing Wembley the same night so that will get a boost in sales you'd imagine
