So I took on the long laborious task of going through the concert archive and putting a percent played for each non-cover song in the Pearl Jam catalog. It is really cool to be able to look at a certain song and know how often it gets played. Some of the numbers are surprising. I took the era the song was written in to decide where to put it as far as the play counts go.
For example, Black and Footsteps are both in the Ten era, Sad and Can't Keep are both in the Riot Act era. Because obviously those songs wouldn't have been played earlier I removed those shows from their percentage. It makes more sense just to look at my spreadsheet.
This took a heck of a lot of time so please don't steal it and claim it as your own, thanks!!
Also let me get some suggestions on how to make it more accurate, because the Ten era really didn't have as good of setlist records so they were harder to nail down an exact number, thanks!!
Here is an example, PM me for the Excel spreadsheet for all the songs:

1. Once 271 38.2%

Some fan in recent years did some kind of crazy thesis/paper/statistical analysis on Pearl Jam setlists that you might find interesting. It's posted online somewhere and I read the whole thing one night. I can't remember where I was on the Internets when I read it, but someone here will know.
I'd be interested in seeing you post the results for all the albums if you want to generate some discussion. I think if we were able to see all the results, you'd notice a pattern where Eddie chooses his own songs disproportionately to the songs written by other band members. If I were the boss of Pearl Jam I'd like to hear more Stone-written songs, like "Fatal" and "Rival" and "Thin Air" and "Don't Gimme No Lip" ... well, maybe everything other than "Lip."
If you want to do another analysis how about percent of songs by author?
