    OK...been thinkin' bout this (A LOT!)...

    What IF they were to open with Present Tense? It's slow, then builds, and builds, and then it fkn EXPLODES!

    I know...I'm all over the place on this, but I'm stoked for the show! BRING IT!


    Also, can you imagine opening with YL? Would completely set the tone for a bizarre setlist and show.


    Thought the very same thing yesterday! But, then again I've thought about almost every scenario (ugh).

    I would also love PARTING WAYS, just cuz I love that effin song so much!

    That would basically guarantee an all-time great show!

    Hoping for (in this order):

    1--Oceans (already played)
    2--Of the Girl (already played)
    3--Long Road (not played...yet!)
    4--Sometimes (already played)

    And if we're hoping beyond hope I'll throw the impossibles out there, although they can be played at any time during the set if the band sees fit...and should probably not be played for the opening song as to make room for any of the aforementioned songs seeing if those aren't played in the #1 slot then there is a .002% chance they'll be played at all (even though there's a .0000001% chance the songs below will be played at all) :D

    I'm sorry, I really don't like YL as an opener. Any of the standard openers would be great. I haven't heard Of the Girl in a long time, so I'm hoping that opens at least one of the next 3 shows.

    So hoping for LBC or NAIS. My first Pearl Jam live song was HTI (Mansfield I '08)...what a way to start off.

    I know this is probably what anybody wouldn't have in their mind but to imagine a show in Boston that opens with Hold On. Oh the possibilities after this song is opened with.
    You can spend your time alone, re-digesting past regrets
    Or you can come to terms and realize
    You're the only one who can't forgive yourself
    Makes much more sense, to live in the present tense
