What is that with every tour they introduce new cover songs which are total shite. They play too many at the best of times. Touring with a new album, play those songs.

Public Image - They opened Werchter with it, what an awful awful song and to play it as an opener is shit. One of the best things about a PJ show is trying to guess the opener, will it be slow or fast, new or old etc not shite like that. Think they have played it twice now

Arms aloft - Again another awful shit song, i think it put the audience to sleep in Dublin and yet theh have played it a few times now.

Will they ever play a Cover Free show? It would be fantastic if they did even if i didt get to see the show, i wouldnt have to skip the covera on the bootleg.

    How dare they not okay the set list with you first. Clearly this band does not care about its fans.

    How dare they experiment with different covers!

    Loved Arms Aloft in Hyde Park

    Yes PJ do a lot of covers and yes sometimes they aren't that great but no covers means, no Crazy Mary, no Last Kiss (not a personal favourite but it has its fans), no Rockin in the Free World, no Masters of War, no Real Me, no I Believe in Miracles, no Won't Back Down and technically no Crown of Thorns!!!!!!

    So you get a few tracks you don't like here and there, so what? They play over 25 songs a night - you're still getting a great fucking show ... and I'd rather hear any of the above than anything off Backspacer tbh.

    Let's not forget that they wouldn't play Baba O'Reilly, either! Or Fortunate Son, or Love Reign 'Oer Me ... the list goes on and on ...

    And, while I wasn't at the Hartford show, I agree with the person who mentioned it - Ain't Talkin Bout Love was awesome!

    A lot of the cover songs they play are some of the the reasons Pearl Jam plays music or are in a band to begin with. It is fun for them to play their favorite songs from their favorite bands.
