I suppose I would have to say I Got Shit. According to PJDB.net, it is the song pearl jam has played the most that I have not seen. I also would like to see Hard to Imagine, Parting Ways, Around the Bend and You Are. Any of these songs would sound great in St. Louis!

33 shows in, lucky enough to see a lot of other people's white whales. Honestly, I might wee myself with excitement over Dirty Frank (with apologies to my seat neighbors). 

Whoa you and I have been to the exact same amount of shows and have the exact same white whale song (Dirty Frank). 

And based on the shows you've attended, I'd assume you're a fellow Philadelphian. We've been blessed with some incredible setlists. 

We sure have. Surprised to see Philly not on this year's tour, but I'm actually happy to make the ride down to Baltimore. Something different.

"Rats," "WMA" in its entirety (heard part of it tagged at the end of "Daughter" once), "Satan's Bed," "Bugs," "Push Me, Pull Me," "Get Right" (I love that one for some reason, I know many people don't), "Speed Of Sound" but probably most of all "The End."

Hard to Imagine. 20 shows in, 4 coming up, not confident, but there is always a chance and that keeps me here.

Sleight of Hand. Cutting this from Wrigley 2013 broke my heart, and still haunts me to this day.

I just wanna hear You Are one time.

It's not even a White Whale, I just like the song a lot and they never fucking play it.

And yet, I've heard Pilate twice...

Dirty Frank
Other Side 
Fatal 

In that order are topping my list right now.  Other Side is incredibly sad to say the least, but very powerful lyrically too.  I associate it with losing my Grandpa to cancer.  The last verse of the song and the "Sit and Stare, stare, begging for a prayer" part captures that feeling of helplessness worrying about a loved one so well.

Sorry, man. I can relate, lost my dad in 2019 to cancer. Looking forward to a better 2020. Live PJ certainly helps.

Call me a lazy fan I guess, but I don’t have a “White Whale” song.  But my kid wants to hear Baba O’Reilly ....

I Have been fortunate enough to see them perform  many times in many different places.  I can tell you this though, the tunes Smile and Off He Goes are two that I quite enjoy.

  And the night they played “Ain’t Talkin Bout Love” I was with a first timer who is a major Van Halen fan,  who said “how awesome it would be to hear a VH  cover tonight ?”  When his 20+ timer PJ fan replied “Highly doubt they will play a VH tune!”  

man I think I took waaay too big of a 4:20 break !! 

Oh Gentlemen, please feel free to play those 2 above mentioned songs in Baltimore!! 

Now that I have thought about it:  

my white whale:

seeing Once, Alive, Footsteps “mini-Rock Opera” performed love !!! 

Ok now I’m done !! 😊

Man, that's a hard one now that my white whale song for YEARS was finally completed in Boston (Tremor Christ).

I guess I would have to go with Gods' Dice, Gonna See My Friend, or Ghost

Reckon white whales are generally more album tracks as others are b-sides and rarities (obviously a few exceptions here with State, Ledbetter etc).

A few for me: Oceans, Deep, Glorified, Leash, Whipping, NAIS of the first six. I've only seen then nine times but am getting to the point of averaging three songs I haven't heard a night. Pity I could only make Fenway 2 in 2018 as I think there were some goodies on there, and the make up London gig would have been awesome were I still living in Europe.

The grass is always greener though. Reading some of these posts reminds me that even out of those nine I've seen some songs people would kill to see (hell both Merkinball tracks twice, Love Reign, HTI) so I'll try not to be a greedy bastard and appreciate what I have seen, and hope for instead of demand my white whales. I could bloody send Ed a full set of them.

I like this post. I've only been to eight shows and have witnessed "Let Me Sleep" twice - the same number of times as I've seen the band  perform "Jeremy!"
Of the albums tracks, my top 5 are:
In My Tree (mentioned earlier)
Hail Hail (admittedly, I've seen it but not since 1998)
Dissident
Glorified G
Deep
...Save You, Wash, Tremor Christ, Red Mosquito, and MFC (also saw that in 1998) would be awesome as well.

I'd love to experience the PJ's "Holy Trinity" in London: Better Man - Leatherman - Nothingman!

They could continue their set with Dead Man and Man of the Hour...
