    I'm looking for Release, Sometimes, and Oceans. Any of those would be sweet. Personally I wouldn't want to see WWS, Life Wasted, or Severed Hand, just because we heard those all last tour, and they should play some songs they didn't pay much attention to last tour.

    Mansfield II '08

    EV Solo Shows:

    NYC I
    NJPAC

    I. LOVE. YIELD.

    I think they should open with Ledbetter just to freak everybody out! That or maybe Blood...

    breakerfall would be a pretty sick opener. they don't have the balls anymore though.
    I saw it to open Argentina 1 in 2005, and after sitting in 90 degree hit in the front row for 5 hours, it was the last thing I wanted to hear. The next thing I knew the overhyped crowd threw me into the quagmire. Oh well, sweet opener nonetheless.

    BTW...I want a weird one Yellow Ledbetter to get it out of the way, Rearviewmirror, or Alive would be fine.

    I know they did at the Gorge. But mostly played it in the 3 spot.

    They opened a few shows with it.
    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;
    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
    else if (work >= 0) {
    reality.equals(false);
    work = work +1;
    }system("pause");
    return 0;}

    wow. just wow. How old are you, 6?

    You know there's more to a show that what they open with? They usually play a bunch more songs after the first one. Some of them are actually pretty good.

    Some fans are retarded.

    EDIT: I don't know what "last tour" you were talking about, but assumed you meant 2006. So I looked it up. Pearl Jam played 76 shows during the calendar year of 2006. They opened with Severed Hand exactly 10 times. At no point did it open three shows in a row. But thanks for playing.

    Breakerfall is easily the best rock opener i can imagine. of the girl from san fran night 1 was great (didnt go,just the boot)

    As far as slow songs, I would say Immortality with the extened intro would be a great opener.

    First time I heard OTG as an opener was San Antonio '03. Wasn't really a song I liked all that much on Binaural ... but as a live opener ... wow. It just has this cool ass groove. Quickly rose up my list of preferred openers.

    thanks for playing? your welcome asshole. thanks for putting me in my place in typical synergy form. the fact that you took the time to look it up like that gets you extra cool points with eddie vedder! so yay you!!

    my last 3 shows i heard this song as an opener...

    hartford, then nj 1 and 2...actually the played severed hand, corduroy, and wws the same first 3 songs at nj 1 and 2 in 2006....

    i DO NOT want a severed hand opener...


    same 3 shows I was talking about. but hey, this just means me and you ARENT REAL PJ FANS!!! WE DONT DESRVE TO GO TO SHOWS!!!


    haha. for a band whos fanbase brags non stop about how cool it is that PJ changes the set lists every night, openning the 2 NJ shos with the exact same 3 songs was kind of pathetic. night 1 it was whatever, but on night 2 the whole crowd was bored with the whole thing until we got to the middle of the show and it all kicked in

    i would like to see them set the tone for a show by opening with one of these babies and never looking back until everyone needs a bit of a break during the first encore...

    blood
    animal
    not for you
    habit
    brain of j
    all night
    big wave
    comatose
    whipping
    lukin
    get right

    that said, I'll take whatever they give me. its all that good.
    All that's sacred, comes from youth....dedications, naive and true.

    i have had sometimes, only once, but at my 2nd show, hoping for oceans this tour somewhere, same with of the girl and wash!

    i really want something unexpected as well, not stock opening material but something that will get the crowd to go crazy to hear it open, like Alive in Newcastle 06!!
