I consider it one of their biggest singles.
It was the first single off of their "comeback" album and they promoted it a lot. It's a recognisable song.
Should be played more often. Hasn't been played since 2014, and on that tour it was played once. if Im correct.

Not to get too political (although it is a political song) but I'm sure they'll consider bringing it out over the next four years.
(And yes, it was indeed very popular back in 2006 - lots of radio play).
So I have to ask because I really have no clue- has Pearl Jam pretty much retired from political activism via music? I sense the answer is "yes."

Probably good for 2-3 political songs and then 8-9 songs about love of spouse, records or surfing.
But yes, the choruses to Pilate and that "Ask I am an ear"-carsong is not good.
Of course, they still perform Blood so that kind of kills my theory, doesn't it?

Songs like Getaway and Got Some I think are tough too. A lot of singing and not much breathing.
As for political, they play it - they just don't talk about it. I listen to a lot of those 03 boots and I'm transported to the 70's with protest shows. But with punk(ash) versions of War & Patriot, the W.M.A. tag in daughter...the same could be said why isn't Glorified G played way more often. You would think that song would get love on a nightly basis.
But seriously. Be nice to Mfc. It has feelings.

You guys remember Ole?

wws is a great live song that should definitely be played more. I often wonder why pearl jam drops songs for years than all of a sudden plays that song for an entire tour before again being lost. Who you are '08 would be an example of this.
And it's good enough to be played more ofter than once in 3 years.
The Fixer on the other hand...
2) The way things are going, I would not be surprised to see WWS in heavy rotation on their next tour. (Come on, guys! We've saved up our vacation days!)
