Yeah, it is. Although they don't get up into the 30s very often. I'd 25-28 are the norm.
It seems like they quit playing those marathon sets a few years back, when they actually started touring again ... as opposed to the eight-date summers that used to pass for a tour.
Well, i guess i hit it lucky, becuase the 6 times i saw Pearl Jam, they ONLY played less then 30 songs ONCE.
Speaking of drunken rants ... I'm going on one now ... and it's relevant because the song was played earlier tonight.
I love Small Town. I know it gets a little bit of grief on this board sometimes. If there's a thread about songs people don't want to hear, or songs that are overplayed (although, frankly I haven't heard it at the last seven shows I've been to, but whatever). But I love it.
No. 1 -- It's a great song.
No. 2 -- It's a song that, to me, just says Pearl Jam.
It's like this. You go two or three years between tours, without seeing the band. Then you go to a show, and it's kind of like a family reunion. Ed gets to the scream hello part, and the whole crowd is singing along with their hands in the air, and that is always the moment where I get the warm feeling: "Holy shit, I'm at a Pearl Jam show." I love that moment, and I always get goosebumps, and it never gets old.
I hope they play this song at every show I'm at. It isn't necessarily my favorite song, but it's like an old pair of slippers: It is always comfortable, and it always fits, no matter how long it has been between tours.
I think I love you........

anyone else thinking we may get 12 or 13 different openers this tour?
Eh I kind of hope not... I'd love for them to rotate Oceans, Sometimes, Release, Wash, Long Road, Of The Girl, and Can't Keep though, maybe 2x per tour?
Eh I kind of hope not... I'd love for them to rotate Oceans, Sometimes, Release, Wash, Long Road, Of The Girl, and Can't Keep though, maybe 2x per tour?
i hope not, too...especially since Oceans and Sometimes would already be done.

I kind of agree with you. There are certain songs that just scream "Pearl Jam just hit the stage" and that's a pretty comprehensive list.
everybody wants the most they can possibly get
for the least they could possibly do
I am guessing they are saving some serious energy for the Roo....maybe MSG, Hartford and the Mansfield shows.
More like the Camden, MSG, and Mansfield shows.

Haha sure. They'll all be amazing, it's a short tour.

columbia is just "random" enough that they could pull of something really special -- either a long set list or something really cool...like a Leash, Hold On, Deep, Breath encore.

yes!!! that's what I felt last night during Faithful! That sudden "holy shit!" realization...except that I also kind of cried of happiness, disbelief, and "can't believe I'm finally here" sort of stuff, and it was during Faithful because that's one of my favorite songs and one of the first ones I got into when I was just beginning to get into PJ. It just made me look back on it all and realize the fact that I had finally made it to a show, and I was witnessing that very magical song live, the one I had listened to on Yield and watched on the Live at the Garden dvd a trillion times...I was finally feeling it live myself.
Well, i guess i hit it lucky, becuase the 6 times i saw Pearl Jam, they ONLY played less then 30 songs ONCE.
Yeah I was at both Boston shows in 06 and they played 29 songs night 1, and 30 songs night 2. Maybe those two shows have put me in the mindset that that's the norm for a PJ show. Hopefully though they do those types of sets for MSG and Mansfield, as I'm going to both in each place.

I have to admit, when I was in Santa Cruz, I went by myself just to soak it in, Ed played Society near the end, I lost my shit, I was like balling, thinking, this is it, this is what life is about, a bunch of little experiences....it was amazing.

Awesome first two setlists. Who You Are resurrected, and nice to see Marker, Light Years ... And Oceans/Sometimes as the first two openers? That's killer ... It often takes a dozen or more shows into the tour before either of those shows up.

Well, that was 4 am West Coast ... they are on the east coast now
for the least they could possibly do
just saying that you could throw Present Tense, Go, Corduroy and LBC in there and have a different show opener each night.
not like they haven't done those before...
