Not a rip, just would like PJ to put them away for a while. Also understand that a lot of people that go to their shows don't have 200+ boots like me...

Yellow Ledbetter
Betterman
Corduroy
Black
Evenflow

    i wish the other riot act songs would get more burn, its a shame that record gets neglected live.

    Agree with Yellow Ledbetter and Evenflow, I guess I can plan a bathroom break around Evacuation.

    they could play corduroy at every show and I wouldn't get sick of it.

    I'd like to see these retired

    Just Breathe
    The End (save these for EV solo shows)
    Gone
    Last Kiss (for obvious reasons)
    Sweet Lew

    That being said, I've been lucky to see over 10 shows the last 2 years and they have all been incredible

    So, for you, "Evacuation" would be an aptly titled song, then? ;)

    I kind of think starting threads like this is dumb, no offense.

    Most of the people who post on this forum are pretty hardcore fans, and we've seen these songs live a bunch of times; however everyone has different tastes and your never going to get agreement, just battling back and forth between board members.

    For example: I could listen to Corduroy at every show. I love it. and I have been to 5 shows since the last time I heard YLB and it's eating me alive that I want to hear it again. However, I would agree with you that I could do without betterman or evenflow or insignificance.... but I wouldn't say they should stick them up on a shelf for a while, cause these songs get a huge response live when they play them. Evenflow is just my planned bathroom break... I can ususally make it their and back before Mike's solo is over. :D

    See what I mean? it's all a matter of opinion here people. And Pearl Jam isn't going to be retiring any of this stuff from their playing catalog, because then they'd just be getting requests to stick it back in.

    I think you just need to eat it, and enjoy the setlist you are given. That's what I do.
    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.

    They can play anything I'm just happy my favorite band since I was just 16 (91) is still good and active.

    Having said that, I could go the rest of my life w/o Yellow Ledbetter. Not because I'm tired of it but because it's impossible to sing along when he just makes up the words as he goes. But even then it's cool because I'm at the show!

    :o Not even evacuation should be put away! Every single PJ song deserves to be played live and sing out loud 8-) ...yes even evacuation

    please don't make posts like this, the band obviously reads some of it. i'll take any song the band is willing to deal out and be super stoked about it.

    Sweet Lew has only been played twice and you want to retire it?

    I saw it once(MSG2) and would vote to retire it, it did nothing for me.

    But then again, like someone above said, I'll pretty much take whatever they're willing to give, they're the band, they should and do decide what gets played.

    Someone posted the link a while back
    to the 'Sweet Lew' performance @ MSG (I or II, I dunno.)
    I'd eat thumbtacks to hear that song live...
    ... or Gremmie out of Control.
    How awesome would that be live?!
    Cheers.
    'Cause you don't give blood and take it back again.

    I'll always be happy with whatever they play.
    Please, PJ, don't ever "retire" songs.

    Someday Pearl Jam will retire and you will be left wishing you could hear only those 5 songs live again.

    Okay, no not really but I love the band and your songs have touched me more than you can ever imagine. I'll listen to any song you feel like playing if I'm so lucky as to be able to get tickets to your shows.

    I'm not jumping up and down at a show with excitement when Corduroy comes on, but I would hit any of you in the face with a shovel to make sure they don't retire Black/Ledbetter/Even Flow/DTE. :lol:

    Yeah, I miss the good ol' days when they DIDN'T pay attention to requests and instead made a set list for the entire audience.

    Gone has not been played this year. Sweet Lew and Last Kiss have been played once this year.
    Just Breathe and The End are on Backspacer.
    They are touring for Backspacer.

    I was just making a statement that there are a few songs I would like to see them "put away" for a little bit. Not fully retire them, just don't make them a virtual guarantee that they will be on the set list.

    Just to clarify...I do not want PJ to officially retire ANY song they have. I appreciate about 99% of their music. Just making the point that the above tracks, IMO, are almost a guarantee at their shows. It would be great if they "set them aside" for a bit so that when they pull them back out, I appreciate them more.
