Oh man, my favorite part of the live version is Boom's solo and then duel w/ Mike. Viva la B3!

That s the worst!

Only song that comes to mind is I Got Id. Not because its overplayed, but because its one of my favorites in the studio, but just don't like it live nearly as much. In 17 shows I've heard it only once I think. Would be fine if I didn't hear it again.

Like Jimmy said, the ones I'd be okay with them retiring were never at the top of my list to begin with.
I dont get the hate for Evenflow or Betterman. Yes, they're overplayed, but they're classics and still fun to see to me. I'd still rather hear those songs than ones I never cared to begin with like "You Are. (or I got Id)"

I Got Id is so perfect on the studio version that the step down live is rough.

All Night bums me out live. Not played much as of late so maybe they feel the same way.

Use to be my favorite song....and I know I've seen too many concerts probably, but my answer is Black.  It's a set killer.  Slows things down and removes all energy for me.

But to each their own as I see people mention I Got Id which I love, DTE which never gets old, even SOLAT?  And someone mentions not wanting to see You Are (which is probably the #1 song on my list of "Which Pearl Jam song is way better live").

There's lots to agree with in this thread...but whoever said I Got Shit, man....the fuck is wrong with you?

Lots. It was me. Its one of my favorite studio songs, and is one of the few that isn't as good live, so I just prefer to hear a different song.
Maybe I'm just used to the way Neil plays on that one instead of Mike, I don't know, it just isn't the same live for me.

Porch, I guess.  At least just get rid of that version with the suckass choppy intro they fucking play all the time.

That's not the question.

There is no song in their catalogue that I would want them to stop playing live. What I would change is the format of the ending of each set and I would also change the whole second encore around a bit. I am not saying to change it for good but to mix it up a lot more would be nice. 

Saying that it really is hard to pick on a band/set that continues to mix it up and stay fresh. Really they can play whatever they want and I would be happy. Except for Last Kiss. Fuck that song lol. 

BettrMan21

Given to Fly. And it's one of my favorite Pearl Jam songs - like top 5. It's just become so hollow live. And the faster tempo at which they are now playing (and I'm grateful for the 35 song sets, trust me) just doesn't work well with it.

+1 for Betterman (I have seen the "trifecta" of Betterman, Nothingman, and Leatherman two separate times.  meh
