What's up with all these threads about what the band plays live? The best thing about the band is that they do what ever the heck they want to do!!! Play what ever you want!
Lol, I don't get up to piss anyways. Honestly I'm a borderline alcoholic, but when it comes to PJ shows I buy a bottle of water and that's it. I look forward to live shows often for years or months at a time, so the last thing I want to do is forget one second of the show. Not a criticism of anyone who enjoys booze at shows, but I've seen people fall asleep (pass out) in their seats before the show even starts. Also, I don't think I'd be as inclined to travel for multiple shows if they were shorter or more predictable.

I wouldn't mind the 20-15 songs as long as they slowed them down to normal speed. You can still have 3 hour PJ shows.
Hell DMB plays long shows with only 12 songs.
Play the songs at regular speed?
it was amazing listening to a boot with Dave on drums as opposed to Matt. with Dave, the song sounded like the album. With Matt, it sounded so rushed.
Yeah...true... but at the end of the day, they love playing with Matt and that's what's important. We don't have to live on the road with the guy and Dave has kind of proved himself to be a super douche.

And the problem with that is that if you don't like the song Dave is playing, you just killed 8% of the show. I'd rather a 3 minute version of Stolen Away than him jamming it for 10 minutes.

I wasn't campaigning for him to be back in the band. Just an observation!
Plus, I also like Matt's songwriting.

I knew my days of seeing DMB were over in 1999 when during the show at RFK stadium I turned to my friend, about 10 minutes into the 15 minute version of a 5 minute song, and asked "what song was this when it started"? She couldn't remember either.

Pearl Jam isn't a Jam Band though, so this won't happen say for even flow and porch...

I still really dig Dave and don't mind the jams at all. That's their thing. I see him once or twice per tour. I'm in Richmond so there's usually 2-3 shows circling me. My criticism of him is that he doesn't do a good job of reading the crowds.. not nearly as good as Ed. If you're unlucky, you'll get him on a weird night and he'll string together three piano songs in a row. Or, I got him in Tampa this summer and 16 of 20 songs were from the first four albums... it was really amazing. You just never know with them (not in a good way) whereas with PJ, for the last 10 years for sure, they are always "on".

I know you weren't.. there's a lot of love for Dave A. And he was a friggin' cement mixer up there for sure. My guess is the bad outweighed the good for them.
there was a time when i thought 25 songs wasn't enough. As in, I could stand there all night. I still would be okay with that if it was a show that i was luck enough to be at. In general, it does seem like the shows have gotten longer than necessary. Perhaps if ticket prices were more reasonable the band wouldn't feel obligated to play such long shows?

I think ticket prices are very reasonable compared to what the market would command. Look at Rolling Stones or Roger Waters prices. They are obscene. The only thing that has changed is me... I'm less willing to hang for a rail spot or stand at a festival for 10 hours. The last one I did was Midtown in 2012 and that's because there were only three US shows that year.

In Canadia only 20-25 songs
But in the U.S. of A there is 35
