Dear Pearl Jam, you wrote some GREAT songs after 1998...
Feel free to play them a little more often...
just because those albums didn't sell 5 million copies and the drunk guy at the top of the arena might not know them and sing a long with them, they are still great records and a lot of us still love them and would love to hear them
you have the best catalog of songs in modern rock history, don't be shy, please show it off

I've seen 13 shows since '08, and have heard very little off of RA or Avocado.
Feel free to attend less shows if you don't like the setlists.
Love,
Pearl Jam

Frankly, as a grown adult I can relate to and appreciate the songs made after 1998 more so than a lot of the early songs in a lot of ways... I don't care if a song is a hit, or a big singalong, or the album sold 5 million copies, that doesn't equate to being their best songs in my opinion... I just find more of their songs post 1998 to be more adult, more mature, and more relatable to me at this time in my life... I LOVE Binaural, Riot Act, and Avocado and I just think its a shame that they are almost completely ignored at this point beside the occasional time they sprinkle 1 or 2 nuggets into a set
75% of the setlists seem to be songs written in 1998 or before... all great songs from great albums and always a great time... but I just happen to also like the 18 years of music/records that followed
considering I was seemingly the only person in my 10c section that knew what "Throw Your Hatred Down" was in Philly and the pit looked like a bunch of statues, I could be in the minority even around here?

I'm just wishing/thinking that should be more of the norm as opposed to being some rare crazy setlist
Vancouver 2013 was pretty Binaural Heavy.. I think we got 4 binaural songs in that set. It made me feel nostalgic for the binaural tour Soon Forget totally reminded of that tour.
I guess they have to find the right mix. They have 10 studio albums, a double b-sides album collection, all the b-sides/covers not in that collection, etc.... If you play 35 songs a night and have that much material it's not a lot from a single album. I guess they try to read their audiences and try to feel how deep they can go with the songs being played. If you don't have the right crowd and start playing too many deep cuts.. that could get rough. On the other hand if you have the right crowd and do it, it can be epic.
Eddie please refer to fans as catolog snobs in Toronto.. Thanks in advance

I wouldn't mind not hearing Black or Better man at a gig so there is more room for songs from Riot act, Binaural or No code.
On the other hand right now I'd settle for any setlist if it would mean I got to see them this year.
