Backspacer. Lightning Bolt (kinda) and this won't be popular but Ten would almost be a let down. Seeing as they typically play about 6 songs off Ten at any given concert it really isn't a big deal (except for Oceans).

I kinda feel like Lexington is getting a full album
I have the same feeling and if its Vitalogy I could die a happy man...only other one I want and its not gonna happen is No Code in full, but that's been done
I think in a few years, LB will receive more appreciation that what it is getting now. It is a pretty good rock album.
Backspacer would be the one for me. If they did it tho, I wouldn't be disappointed, because at least I would be a part of something, but it would be the bottom of album choices.

Avocado would be a dream. Backspacer has a handful of very good live songs on it -- Got Some, Unthought Known, Against the Waves, Force of Nature -- so my only disappointment would be that I saw them a bunch of times that tour and have already heard most of those songs live.
Hands down the album I'd least like to hear live would be LB. I've given it so many tries and yet I still just don't like it (with the exception of a select few tracks). If it wasn't a Pearl Jam album I'd probably hate it. Sleeping By Myself is the worst decision the band has ever made regarding putting a song on an album, and I've gotten it full-band live twice already. So yeah, LB for me.
You don't like Sleeping By Myself, but you give Future Days a pass? Lyrically FD is beautiful but that cheesy keyboard music is some bullshit and you all know it.

I don't love Future Days, but I can look past the keyboard music and at least not hate it. It's kind of like old school porn, the music may be cheesy but there's some good stuff going on if you just focus on the flesh of the track.
Sleeping By Myself though, it's just a mess upon a mess. I actually like the Ukuele Songs version, but that's where it should have stayed. The fact that they even chose to re-record it with the full band brings down my opinion of the entire album, not only because it sounds bad, but because it just has the feel of a very lazy, uninspired decision to take up a few more minutes of space.

I actually don't mind the song as a stand-alone from the band (i mean, it's okay. Not close to great). But yeah, the fact that they actually decided to put THAT on Lightning Bolt really kind of threw me for a loop and has genuinely made me question the decisions they are now making during the music production process. I really wish I knew just wtf they were thinking there, even though I don't think any justification or reasoning they might have would make me feel much better about it.... I guess the assumption has to be that they actually thought it sounded really good on the album. That it helped to make the album cohesive and enjoyable. And that is why I am questioning where their heads are at. Because I don't understand how ANYONE could possibly think SLB sounded good on that album, let alone people in the industry, and especially Pearl Jam specifically. It is so out of placed it's almost funny. But not quite, since it helps to basically ruin Side B along with LTRP and FD.

anyone says bianural or riot act need to get arrested and throw them in jail for a decade!!
I like this but cannot find the thread where I called Vs. for Greenville. Demi as a PJ diehard (as am I) could you help me find the Greenville thread where I called Vs. front to back before the show. My friend has a posted note on the door at work that says "2-29, Kevin says PJ will play VS. front to back in Greenvile."
And I have also told him I would love to hear Riot Act front to back. Binural would be great as well!
Riot Act. Sorry to fans of this album. I saw the Mansfield experiment in 2003 and also several other shows on that tour and when they played songs from this album it was like someone pulled a fire alarm. The newer albums at least had some radio friendly songs. I don't dislike all of Riot Act but just never thought it sounded that good live.
Riot act...love the album but it dosent flow like yield or avocado , be tough on a crowd who lost touch with the band from late nineties onward. The faithful would love it, but I think I am mine and save you & all or none represent the album well. Vitalogy would be cool, stupid mop would be interesting ! So yeh it's good the band have confidence in all there back catalogue...even the underappreciated backspacer, I love it btw:)

Yeah, should have went with the violin for the intro, would be light years better.

Riot act played live beginning to end would be the longest piss break I ever took in my life ha

This. They should play as much of Vitalogy as possible during one of the upcoming shows (MSG2 or Canada) and then be done with the idea. You don't want them turning into Weezer (and I like Weezer - at least their first two albums).
I was fortunate enough to see the No Code show in Moline and the VS show in Greenville. That said, the energy in both crowds when everyone realized what was happening was incredible. I'd be up for any album, top to bottom.
I don't understand the riot act hate. Put me in the camp who thinks anything after yield would be tough to pull off and keep the crowd engaged. But riot act has some killer live tracks in my opinion... Lbc, save you, cropduster, ghost, half full, you are, help help, green disease, get right, all or none, i am mine...that's 11 tracks right there. And not my favorite for a show, but thumbing my way is a good one for an acoustic track.
I think i just name dropped the entire album as being great live aside from bushleaguer and arc. Haha...screw it, Id love to hear a riot act show.
