Yes, I know that it has been said before, but please, don't play Even Flow, Daughter and Small Town every night....PLEASE. I know that they are trying to play to the "average" fan who only knows the hits, but it may be time to put these songs into the "rarely played gems" category and bring out the other ones (i.e. Tremor Christ, Satans' bed, Rats, all those yesterdays, Of the Girl, Arc, Oceans). It would be cool if people actually someday could say, "man, they played small town last night, how cool!
I hold the pain, release me!

    I totally agree. Evenflow is actually the Pearl Jam song which made me love the band many years ago, but I really can't even listen to it anymore. It's become a bore, sorry to say. I do think if it quickly became a rarity at shows, like you said, the song could regain it's magic.

    As much as most of us would agree with that, there has to be some sort of mix. I remember reading how some casual fans were pissed at the London 07 setlist, which by 10C standards was awesome! But for the average fan, it would have led to an incredibly boring night.

    I was in London that night.....


    There was nothing boring about that night!
