Hello.

Does anybody know why is this tour being dominated by songs extracted from Ten. Here's last night song/album statistics:

1 Ten (7)
2 Lightning Bolt (6)
3 Vitalogy (4)
Covers (4)
5 Vs. (3)
Yield (3)
7 Backspacer (2)
No Code (2)
Pearl Jam (2)
10 Riot Act (1)

And here here's the Lighting Bolt tour's statistics:

1 Lightning Bolt 138
2 Ten 108
3 Covers 73
4 Vs. 71
5 Yield 69
6 Vitalogy 64
7 Backspacer 37
8 No Code 32
9 Lost Dogs 31
10 Pearl Jam 22
11 Riot Act 14
12 Binaural 10
13 Others 9

I think it was logical to dedicate much of the setlists to Ten and VS during the PJ20 tour, but I don't know what to think. Could it be a way of making the shows more "mainstream"? That would reveal a sort of lack of confidence in their own work a well as in their fans. I'd certenly prefer to hear songs from albums as No Code, Binaural, Yield and Vitalogy and not to be limited to a 2 year period in the history of the my favorite band.

    Who says there is too much of the greatest album of the 90's being played? I mean who says that? My mind is blown.

    Oh and make it mainstream? Is that some sort of joke? Early 90s cannot be mainstream anything today, it doesnt matter how popular it was when it came out.
    In July 2007 Densmore said that he would not rejoin The Doors unless it was fronted by Eddie Vedder. Densmore says, "I play with Jim. If there's someone of that level, OK. I'm not gonna join them with Ian. That's not to diss Ian, he's a good singer - but he's no Jim Morrison. Eddie Vedder? My God, there's a singer."

    I agree. Also the 1992 Tour had too much Ten.






    Really all the tours since 1991....

    i would like some more from Riot Act and Binaural …. but then again what should they leave out … ( maybe some talking and some cover songs )

    Is it significantly different than other tours?
    Ten has alot of songs for them to choose from, they al work really well.
    Perhaps Ed used the Ten songs in the setlist to balance out the new songs.
