IMO, Pearl Jam should be banned from playing both Lightning Bolt and Unthought Known at the same show. Basically the same song. And I could do without both.
My opinion. Agree, disagree, ignore, whatever. But don’t throw insults. It’s just an opinion about a couple of songs. We’re not curing cancer here, people.

I feel like when they started playing Backspacer songs, they realized how powerful Unthought Known is. Eddie's really good at palm-muting to build energy. They had some video at the time and Matt Cameron said he thinks that Unthought Known is the song that most embodies the Pearl Jam Live experience. Then when I heard Lightning Bolt, I kind of immediately felt like they were trying to recreate it. Also, there's those cringeworthy moments in LB when Eddie always strains to deliver those lines about "she's a lightning bolt."
Wishlist kind of is too, to a lesser degree
2014 – Amsterdam I & II, Gdynia, Leeds, Milton Keynes
2016 – Wrigley I & II
2017 – Amsterdam III [EV]
2018 – London I, Padova, Rome, Prague, Krakow, Berlin, Barcelona, Madrid, Wrigley I & II
2019 – Dublin [EV]
2022 – Copenhagen, Hyde Park I, St. Louis
2023 – Chicago I & II
I really love the build up of Unthought Know and really like the song, as a whole.
Back to the OP’s comment, i didn’t really think of them as the same song. But I’m gonna do a little comparison of music and lyrics.
