    Do the Evolution is pretty high on the overkill list...

    but that tune never gets old to me.

    Just because you (or I) have seen them, and these songs, many times doesn't mean everyone else has.

    If they don't play Even Flow, how will I know when it's time to take a piss?

    I think they could ease up on those songs a bit, but not take them off of the set list entirely.

    I certainly would not mind seeing DTE every friggen show I go to.

    seriously, on what planet would you NOT want to hear these songs for the next two tours????
    i can see not playing them every show but really, shelf them for two tours?????
    that's just crazy talk.

    i personally look forward to hearing each and every one of these at least once or more live each tour and would be quite disappointed if they were taken out of rotation for even one tour.

    Agree with this statement completely.

    Now with that said, I would like to see them mix it up during two day sets.

    I don't think DTE or GTF ever get old, but knowing that these two songs get played every day, I would feel better if they played them once during a two day stint.

    Night 1

    Even Flow

    Given To Fly
    Betterman
    Black
    Porch
    Last Kiss

    Night 2

    Alive
    Corduroy
    Do The Evolution
    RVM
    Jeremy
    Yellow Ledbetter
    Why Go
    Elderly Woman
    Animal
    Crazy Mary

    Almost all of those songs are in the 50% club, meaning they are played over 1/2 of the time since their debut.

    I love them all, and the casual fan really has more of a right to hear those songs, and it would suck if they didn't.

    But with those 10 songs played EVERY casual fan will be gorged on greatest hits and there will be plenty of room for Lost Dogs, new albums, and science forbid some heavy rotation of "NO CODE"!!!!

    That show would suck. There's a reason those songs are staples. I was at the Vic and while it was cool, it was clear something was missing and there was a reason a lot of those songs aren't played often. The lolla show would have sucked without all those songs getting played and an arena show where 85% of the venue doesn't know a single song in the set? That would be the shittiest, least energized show in PJ history.

    And if you wanna shelve hit staples, Given to Fly goes before every single song you listed.

    Well considering that these are pretty much the biggest radio songs the band has ever written, I think the chances of these being shelved on this or any other tour pretty unlikely.

    It would be like going to McDonalds and finding out that they've taken the BIG MAC off the menu.
  • soulsingingsoulsinging Posts: 13,202
    don't kill me but i've never seen em and would love to see those songs played live

    God, you're such a selfish prick. Don't you know there are like 10 people in the arena that night that have seen PJ 87 times and are sick of hearing Even Flow? And you have the nerve to ask those 10 superfans to sit through classic rock songs just so that you and the other 18,000 people in the venue get to hear a song you love live for the first time? The NERVE of some people!

    Cordoroy, Betterman and Alive are three of my favorite songs live. The crowd interaction on Alive gives me chills everytime. I have a love/hate relationship with Yellow Ledbetter because I love the song/guitar but know this means that the show is over!

    I understand not wanting to see these every night, but it is critical to weave fan favorites like these in with rarities and covers to complete the Pearl Jam live experience. I've had friends attend their first PJ shows on the last two tours and these songs were highlights for them...now they're fans for life.
