    Get Right is the only studio song of theirs (exlude Lost Dogs) that I have not heard live.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of
    arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to
    slide in sideways, BBQ sandwich in one hand, cold beer in the other,
    body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "Woo Hoo what a
    ride"!

    Seeing You Are played twice was pretty sweet.

    Hands down the worst PJ album. Keep those songs in the attic.

    I've heard You Are, 1/2 Full, Cropduster, Thumbing My Way, Save you, Green Disease LBC, I am Mine, off Riot Act live, the only songs I would like to hear in a concert now would be Save You, and well that is it, not that these songs are bad I really do enjoy them, but they had their place. The one song I would not like to hear is Cropduster out of those along, with Bushleaguer(Bush is not President anymore), Ghost.

    Songs I would like to hear off Riot Act but would opt for other songs would be All Or None, Can't Keep.

    Funny thing is Riot Act was my first Pearl jam Album I bought, and really enjoyed it but in my catalog is my least favourite.

    And another thing, I wish that Binaural was released with its original song line up.

    And another thing Pearl Jam please come back to Toronto!

    Canadian Tour Part Deux.

    Even PJ realized their folly with that album. And playing Bu$hleaguer (that dollar sign in the title is so adolescent)now would just be plain ridiculous, since he isn't president anymore.
    Thanks EPOTTSIII!

    Bushleaguer could seem dated now, thankfully can't say that about (m)any other PJ songs.....but I agree, more 'Riot Act' live! That was the ONLY problem I had with the MSG-2 set last Friday. I mentioned that to the friend I went with shortly after the show was over -- and then we continued jabbering about how insanely great the show was...a talk which lasted the entire weekend.

    but I'd take less 'Riot Act' to get more 'Binaural,' which is the other neglected album lately.

    Pearl Jam like to stay away from fire alarms at the shows.
    I saw the Riot Act tour five times and the reaction to the songs was pretty poor.
    I was amazed how strong the crowd reacted to the Backspacer songs this tour.
    I like some of Riot Act, but don't think many of the songs translate that well live.

    ya know...it pisses me off when people talk shit about the songs on Riot Act....."oh that song's a set killer"

    well guess what? there is a whole fucking spectrum of music that parallels emotion!...not every song is about jumping around and rocking out!! some of it should be mellow...some of it brainless....some of it cerebral...some of it fast & some of it slow.....but there is still one constant....all of it is AWESOME!!

    to me..that's what makes this band so special and why i haven't grown tired of listening to their music over the past almost 20 years....to have so much variety from one band is a fucking amazing thing! Riot Act is testament to that amazing-ness!!...so if you don't like or care for a particular album or song, it's not the band...IT"S YOU!!!!

    and yeah...there are a few songs in the PJ catalog that i dislike...but it is my personal preference...i don't say the band fucked up or that the song is shit (hey...they didn't write last kiss so :P ) that is disrespectful to the artist (who may have a deeper connection to the song than you are aware of)

    so next time you are at a show and they go to play a song you don't like....just zip it!( or go to the bathroom and unzip it :mrgreen: )..there are 20,000 other people at the show who may disagree with you and have been waiting to her that song....like ME!!!
