the setting:  a beautiful Montana football stadium on a summer night. A mountain view.  64 degrees and cloudy (probably warmer but u catch my drift). All lit up while background music plays and the crew sets things up for the mindblowingness still to come. 

suddenly.....

“Kille, (can you please) turn these lights out!  Ready!?  Wahhh!”

The energy.  The McCready solo. There’s no better way to open this show.

    One thing that I wish they did with Even Flow every once in a while is go back to the studio tempo. I love the live tempo too but it would be so energetic and groovy if they went back to the studio speed once in a blue moon....

    As they played Even Flow at Mad Cool and I was basking in the glory of it, all I could think was, how have so many people told stories of taking a piss break when this song comes on? I would have to be dragged away from this stage during this. It would be a great opener though.

    We tend to forget how awesome these songs are

    i was in a foreign country one night having dinner. Everything was ok but just a very weird atmosphere.  and then TEN came on in the pub.  Suddenly i felt like i was home.

    Didn’t Ed say it’s a Fucking (silenced out for the video) rock concert in the beginning of the EF video too??  You forgot that part. Please change in your post.

    I've always thought Alive would be an awesome way to open a show.

    Highly unlikely, Even Flow 90% of the time is in slots 5-11 at every show. But good luck

    Was opened in response to a person opening a 'Please dont play EF and Porch in Montana' thread.

    It would be cool, however.

    Do this at Wrigley 1 also.  Can you imagine if he starts exactly like the video, except Killie instead of Josh.  Place would go nuts.

    Gives new life to the song when it comes to being played live
  • cincybearcatcincybearcat Posts: 16,072
    Will not be played 1st live IMO because it is used as a break for Mr Vedder. No break needed at song #1.

    Easily fixed by replacing it's spot in the set with another song they can extend and jam on like Immortality, Not For You, Present Tense or I Got Shit. All songs that are woefully under played anyway.

    No excuses Pearl Jam, just do it and blow shit up.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Still waiting for them to open with Yellow Ledbetter. The vibe of the show that follows would be like no other.  Very confusing even.

    Either take a piss early or extend your bar time to start the night. You can walk in with the sing along section before the second / exit solo.
