Pictures from their show at the Shepherds Bush Empire in London, England. Trying to avoid WP:RECENTISM, but this was the best gig I've ever been to!

Finally returning to the MEN Arena after a 9 year gap, and it was certainly worth the wait. Another amazing setlist. Highlights included Present Tense, Rearviewmirror and Smile.

2011 - Eddie Vedder in LA

2011 - Canada

Four shows from the 1st half of the Canadian leg. The first night in Toronto now goes to the top of the list as best show, knocking Shepherd's Bush and MSG2 down a place. Hamilton became my 21st show, and I also got to see Pearl Jam Twenty at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival too.

2012 - Manchester

Pics from the Euro tour. Manchester night 1 was seated and for the first time ever, I stood at the MEN Arena for night 2. Night 2 witnessed the debut performance of Hitchhiker.

2012 - Amsterdam

Blown away by night one in Amsterdam - didn't think it could get any better. Then night two came along! Got to hear Wash for the first time at my 25th show. Then came Bugs, Alone, Release, Crown of Thorns, Footsteps and Sonic Reducer...

2013 - East Coast

Attended four shows on the East Coast - two in Brooklyn and two in Philadelphia. Philly night one could well top Toronto night 1. Philly night two was show number 35 and I finally got to hear Satan's Bed.

2013 - West Coast

West Coast tour of the US/Canada, where I did nine shows (San Diego, LA1+2, Oakland, Portland, Spokane, Calgary, Vancouver and Seattle). Vancouver was the best show of the tour and probably the best I've ever seen too. First time I heard Speed of Sound, All or None, Thin Air, Don't Gimme No Lip and Can't Keep, just to name a few.
