Not in favor of a hiatus for Alive. It's only overplayed to those of who go to show after show. I do think it would benefit from being moved around the setlist more. Doesn't need to be second or third to last every night. Open an encore with it. Close the first set with it. Hell, open a show with it. The spot is stale. The song is still awesome.

Agree 100% with this. Can't lose this tune. Too essential to the PJ concert experience.

I don't go to show after show, and I'm still totally sick of it. But don't worry, they won't put it on hiatus. I agree about where it sits in the setlist too. The same can be said of their entire 2nd encore. Mix it up more! I know that might seem crazy to some, given how much they already mix up their setlists... but seriously, why is their 2nd encore made up of such a stock selection of songs? The fact that they vary their setlists so much otherwise just highlights that fact.

It took me a minute to remember what Go sounded like in my head. As for SOLAT it is a raw unexpected song that captured Pearl Jam in the moment. Go was label led.
Gonna leave this one in the hands of those brave enough to vote. There must be a winner and a loser. Thank you to those who voted. I just can't do it on this one.

You never really had to begin with.
Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.
