Do you want PJ to play one (1) complete record in order at shows?

WhyNotSweden

Do you want them to play one (1) complete record at each show? You wouldn't know what record that's get played, they change (as setlist do) at every show.

Force Of Nature

No

Only at the frequency they currently do, maybe 1 every few tours. To do it on a more regular basis wouldnt make it special in my opinion

PJ_Soul

Yes

Not all the time or anything, but it is a really amazing treat!

But i think this is only the 3rd time they've ever done it in the history of the band... a little more frequently than that would be good!

Pearl Jam_ie

Yes

I said yes, but always unannounced, and like once a tour.

Last-12-Exit

No

It needs to stay at once every 8 years. If its done regularly, it won't mean anything.

Eraserhead

Yes

Hell YES

Kev - Coat and Keys

No

Kinda cool, but once you spot it there is no surprise with next tunes.
And we all like surprises.

EnterThanman

Any sort of regularity to it and it wouldn't be anywhere near as cool. I dislike tours where a band plays a full record front to back, but this one off was amazing. I'm okay if they never do it again, but also wouldn't complian if they play Vs front to back and my next show.

Dalirock

Yes

It would be cool to be at that show! They have plenty of material to choose from! It would be interesting how some of the songs were interpreted live now.

demetrios

Yes

Yes, but if they do get to play one complete record in order @ the show I'm attending, then I hope they play from beginning to end their Lost Dogs double record. O:-)

Ledbetterman10

Yes.....Yield in Denver

bootlegger10

No

Definitely wouldn't want to see a complete record at every show. IT certainly was cool to hear No Code but I think the novelty would wear off quick and like others have said it is fun not knowing what is next.

crober72

No

There was an element of surprise to a certain extent....took a few songs to realize they were going in order...then kept wondering if they would really play the whole album....but yeah, I agree that if this kind of thing happened often it wouldn't be as big of a deal.

PJ_Soul

Yes

Yeah, true, if it were a regular thing it would actually kill the surprises that come with each setlist. but once every couple years would still make it cool. If this poll was supposed to suggest that it should happen regularly, then I change my vote.

SB6565

No

The only way something like this stays special is if it's rare and unexpected.

PJ_Soul

Yes

Is this the most even poll result ever? :P 50/50 with 50 votes.

PeArLgOoNeR

No

"at each show"? No no no no! Do an album once a year? Yes yes yes!

dimitrispearljam

Yes

yes but rare,,not that every show

bbison

Yes

Would have voted no on Thursday, but now I'm glad it was yes!

on2legs

No

One show a year... At the most. Anything more than that and it defeats everything that a PJ show stands for. Night after night of varied set lists with any song capable of popping up. Anymore frequently and it will kill the spontaneous feeling of the shows.

primussucks

Yes

Yes!! Vitalogy or Yield in milwaukee please!!!

PS46102

I'll say no, but Yeild tomorrow night would be cool in my book.

RoleModelsinBlood31

No

Stupid question. If they did it regularly we would all get tired of it. Once every 10 years makes it amazing though.

Edit: the question is stating that they would play an album at EACH show.... Please kill me.

deadendp

No

^^ Yes, though I don't wish for death. :-S

PJ_Soul

Yes

Yeah, i only actually read the thread title. No, definitely wouldn't want a full album at each show - that would be stupid and get boring very, very quickly.

CopperTom

Yes

This would be nice in a tour not in support of an album.

RobbyD462

Yes

Sure but only once in a while

Flyingw

Yes

Yes, but rare. And not Backspacer.
Also, some bands will do the 25th anniversary tour featuring ____album in full. Pass on that.
I like the surprise element that we have come to know, love, and respect with PJ.

FrankieG

No

Once every 10 years

It was spectacular last night, but I would not want it for every show. When QOTSA reissued their frst album in 2011, they played it entirely for a full tour and they got sick and tired of the routine. It would kill the buzz for everybody else too. A lot of the fun of being a PJ fan is following the band around on tour and this is due to the fact that you never know what you get. It keeps people on their tippy toes all over the place. The ones who are at the show as well as the ones who are following the setlists on the computer, and the band itself probably too. Even though I had the honour to witness this last night, I would not want it as a regular thing to happen.
