Pearl Jam rolled into Toronto Friday night playing a jammed packed Molson Amphitheatre for more than two hours! From the opening notes of Of The Girl I knew that this was going to be one of the best shows I’ve ever been to. This was my second time seeing the grunge rockers and it was definitely better than the first time I saw them.

Friday’s show was filled with great 90’s classics like Even Flow, Black, Alive, Corduroy and endless guitar solos from Mike McCready.

These guys have been around for a while and they still know how to put on an amazing show. As the night went on it seemed the better the guys played and the better Eddie Vedder sounded. Mr.Vedder clearly knows how to work a crowd that was into it from the very start of the show.

The highlight of the show for me was hearing Better Man & Porch back to back during their second encore, yup you read that right TWO ENCORES! I also can’t forget the time during Alive when guitarist Mike McCready was playing with his guitar behind his head and didn’t miss a note!

This show is definitely in my top five list of best concerts of all time! Below is a full setlist, if there are any mix-ups let me know and I’ll make the changes. Also, if you didn’t get a chance to go to the show check out what other people thought of the show here.
