On a new album tour, and i may be in the minority here, i want to hear as much of that new album as possible.

Well that is the point, lol. It always amuses me to see people actually complain that 6 or 7 songs (out of over 30) are from the album that the tour is based on. I mean, really?

Maybe not a PJ song everyone likes...but I can't stand the chorus in Pilate. The intro and bridge have so much promise and the chorus is just so unrelated to the rest of the song, for me.

I'd love it if they did a Corgan and played the new album in its entirety. doesn't have to be in order, but all or even most of the tunes would be great. I don't go to a PJ show for nostalgia only, although that's part of it. on this tour I only got 4 songs from Lightning Bolt. that's only a third of the record. I could have had 2 or 3 more, but hey, it was still a great show. I would loved to have heard Getwaway (LOL), Swallowed Whole, Let The Records Play, or Infallible. still can't complain though. it can't be a perfect show for 15,000 people!

There are three ways to answer that question...

1. Song(s) that you hard core types love that I don't
--Leash
--Blood
--Leatherman

2. Song(s) that casual fans love that I don't
--Jeremy
--Last Kiss

3. Song(s) that I really do not ever need to hear at another show again
--The songs I've already mentioned
--Elderly Woman
--Even Flow
--Porch
--Rockin in the Free World (give me more Baba!)

I fully agree with your last selections for both 2 and 3, though. and although Leatherman is a bit of an oddball tune, I'd love to hear it live.

I forgot to add Oceans. Flame away!

Sleeping By Myself, Future Days and Ole don't really need to be mentioned, they should just be taken for granted that they are disliked ha ha

I am with you 100%, the chorus is cringe-worthy, instant skip

Nah, you just have to sing it the right way.

"Like Pilate, I have eggnog".

Glad to see I'm not the only one who can't bear to listen to Blood!

I remember listening to Yield over and over again back in 1998...I loved the first five songs (well, I loved the first four and gave "Wishlist" more credit than it deserved since it was a single) but when "Pilate" came on I went to the "skip" button every time.

Over the years, I have tried to give live versions of the song a chance - I've tried really hard to appreciate it, if not like it - but I just can't do it!

IMHO, it's their worst song from the 1990's - and that includes all the Lost Dogs.

Haha

It's also the last track I need to see to complete Ten live. So I do want to hear it at a gig! Sometimes I love it but a lot of the time I don't. I'll confess to having skipped it numerous occasions while listening to Ten

This. I know its blasphemous and all but the song never did anything for me.

If this thread keeps hanging around on the first page long enough, eventually every song they've ever recorded is going to get mentioned

MLB never did anything for me at all. it's not blasphemous. they were a completely different band. my personal take on it is pearl jam hadn't come out of the ashes of MLB, most people wouldn't give two shits about MLB. I think people just like MLB because they think SHOULD like MLB.

It is weird how different we all hear these songs. Blood is my favorite EVER! Hard to believe some don't like it. And Porch being mentioned is just ridiculous to me.

absolutely. Porch is one of the best live songs for this band, ever, including Blood, and RVM. but hey, to each their own. whatever works for you.
