I was always unsure about songs order for this compilation, changed it couple of times and now this is a new, almost perfect version. Nothingman has become a campfire song with damn loud audience singalongs, Better Man is even louder, Corduroy and Not For You also greatly evolved. Nowdays Better Man has got very long outtro, Mike likes to improvise playing Immortality. Many songs differ from their album sisters quite significantly. Hunger Strike (with Ben Bridwell from Band Of Horses).Black ("Isolation" version of We Belong Together tag).Lukin II (completely re-arranged slow tempo acoustic with strings).Better Man (altered version of Save It For Later tag).As always, some great covers including legendary Hunger Strike (from MSG2) with Ben Bridwell from Band Of Horses. Check for completely re-arranged slow version of Lukin, altered tags for Better Man and Black, alternative ending riffs for Daughter, Alive and Porch (for the last two songs it was the same riff played). This tour provided so many special performances that I had nothing to do but to create a long show-emulating compilation with three peaks and two sections to drop off some pressure. Hartford was extremely loud and my favorite set-list show is Newarc. Every show of the tour was great, but the very best was Madison Square Garden 2 and maybe MSG1 and Boston.
So I think it was the one of the best Pearl Jam tours ever.
Even in Kansas City it was surprisingly loud audience and in Hartford, Boston and New York people completely screamed their lungs out. The band was fantastic, Ed showed his peak vocal form and audience support was terrific. 2010 US Tour started off in New Orleans and ended up with two Madison Square Garden shows.
