Anyone else glad that the guys are not supporting a new album this time around?

    This will be my first time seeing Pearl Jam without them promoting a record so I'm really looking forward to hearing some rarities.
    Plus, it's likely that they've got new stuff that they'll be debuting and we'll be the first ones to hear it. Kinda like a sneak peek of the next record.
    I really think this tour will kick all kinds of serious ass and I'm just hoping to hear some No Code songs mixed with some Yield tracks.

    that is a good way to go to the shows, pulling evenly, but i like new music
    Some people have religion I have Pearl Jam.

    I mean don't get me wrong, it's always great to hear the new stuff and we know the setlists will vary greatly regardless, but I'm really looking forward to the possibility that they could pull equally from all albums every night without feeling the need to play 7-10 songs from the new album.

    I totally agree with you. I have a feeling there will be some interesting rarities played at these shows. They may even play a song or two from the upcoming album/cd, which could be cool.

    I'm hoping for lots of No Code :)

    The Grateful Dead used to tour the east coast every spring and they rarely put out studio albums. I think its great that they're touring without having to support a new album. They can play whatever they want, and how ever they want. I wouldn't be suprised to hear a few new songs and alot of covers.

    The Grateful Dead was a pure live band. Studio albums were annoying for them. Pearl Jam uses the same (different setlist every show) as the Dead did, which is imperative for me. I really think more bands should do this. They'd get a bigger following as a result, IMO.

    I am sure they will play some EV solo songs, right? I mean, it's not like Ed is going to just get them all out of his system on the west coast.

    I doubt it. Ed's songs are Ed's songs and definitively not the bands. They never play Stone's solo stuff (nor should they) and they won't (and shouldn't) play any of Ed's

    would love for them to play a non-greatest hits tour. I love all the songs, but I am not srying if I get

    In My Tree over Alive
    Garden album ver vs Jeremy
    Army Rerserve vs Daughter
    Last Exit over Corduroy
    Parting Ways vs. Animal
    Sleight of Hand vs. RVM
    Wash vs. Yellow Ledbetter
    Fatal vs Evenflow

    just some examples, not sying one song is better than the otehr, just woldn;t mind some new old stuff vs same old same old

    Long live the VIC

    i saw 10, and yeah im hoping for some canada tour-esque setlist selection....lost dogs tracks and play some DEEP!

    Yep, I saw 12 in 06 and am welcoming a tour when they won't be supporting a new album and forgetting about No Code and Yield and playing some less played songs.

    That said, I'll be back following them again whenever a new album does come out.

    I have been to 16 shows and the best setlist by far was Philly in 05 and they weren't supporting a record so i'm hoping these shows will be more along those lines. Little bit of everything. I doubt it but that would be great.

    i'd agree with that.
    '05 Halifax is in my top handfull for sure, as well.
    I would consider Philly '05 for its setlist, but man, i got stuck right up against Stone's speakers with my little 11 year old nephew, and neither of us could see shit ... i mean, except for Jill and Olivia on the side of the stage. lol.

    So that kinda sucked.
    But what ya gonna do, right?
    They played ALONE!
    :D:D:D
