I have two answers to this question, it depends on how you interpret it.
1) What is the first song you saw PJ play live?
or
2) What is the first PJ song you saw PJ play live?
The crowd in Auckland on 24/03/1995 was so rough that they (well, only Ed really) came out and played Throw Your Arms Around Me before being joined by the rest of the guys and playing Oceans.
So, if you include Ed solo during a PJ gig as PJ (I do. A pre-set, maybe not, but when Ed plays on his own after the encore break that's still PJ, right?), the answer to 1) would be TYAAM, whereas the answer to 2) is Oceans.

I am a proud owner of this bootleg. It must have been an amazing show. Excellent setlist.
I had the bootleg but I lost one of the disc's :oops: And yes it was an amazing show and it was the first Pearl Jam gig i went to, One thing what sticks in my memory was when Ed said there are Manchesterians everywere, Of course all the locals knew it is pronounced Mancs, Anyway Ed put the record straight at the the same venue nine years later when he called everyone Mancs, It was like a private joke for the people who were at Both Gigs, The story has probably been told on this forum but I thought it was great And BTW Has of the girl opened at many more PJ Gigs?
Randall's Island II - 1996. Sometimes was the first song I ever saw in person.
But the first songs I ever heard them do live were Alive and Porch on SNL. That night I became a fan forever.
