    I’ll never tire of songs but I do understand that some people do. I do however tire of placement of songs. It’d be nice to see Alive close a main set. Or even flow in encore 2. 
    It was fun hearing Evenflow & Alive so early in the set at the Ten show in Philly. 
    It sure was. Damn what a night that was. 
    I hate hate hate that I missed that show for my cousins wedding. Oh yeah, he got divorced the other day again!! Ugh

    None. When I have a chance to see a Pearl Jam
    show, I am certainly walking out not thinking about which song I’m sick of. 
    This is the correct answer!

    Just watch Mike during Evenflow.  It’s a different solo every time and more times than not, it’s an incredible solo.

    Man I really feel for you. It doesn’t matter if you’ve seen all 12 songs before or how overplayed some of them are. Seeing them in sequence with an incredibly loud Philly crowd was of my favorite moments in my life.  I’m done going to weddings. As messed up as that sounds.

    Seeing Pearl Jam without the hits would be like watching The Godfather without any scenes with Pacino or Deniro for 90% of the audience.

    Even Flow and Porch - they don't have to drop them altogether (they're classics)  - maybe just alternate them.

    There aren't specific songs I'm tired of, but I do think when the band does two-night stands at a venue there should be zero repeats. 
    That would be very nice.

    I love ever single second of a PJ show.  I'm in the 'no beer' camp so I don't need bathroom breaks. 
    But I wouldn't be sad if I never hear Last Kiss again.

    Same here. I was blown away by how many people were leaving their seats at SEA2 durning non-major hit songs. I was there for the long haul.

    Like many here, wish they would switch up the frequency of E-flo, Corduroy, Alive, Porch, betterman...not complaining by any means, as I love many of those songs. When 10 first came out, Porch was probably my fav song on the album, but now when they play it, my initial reaction is “damn the first set is over”

    The thing with most of these songs mentioned is that it's not the fact that they're played so often that gets boring over time, it's that the placement of them in the set is so predictable! Can we find a different place other than the closing spots for main set and encore 1 for Porch and RVM?

    I don't go to 25 shows per tour so I don't really get tired of songs. 

    How can you be tired of hearing Evenflow in 2018, when the last time you saw Pearl Jam live was in 2014. That is 4 years of not hearing Evenflow. For me.

    But I do think in general they should mix up their staples more. Have a pool of semi-staples instead of having that rigid backbone of always-being-played-songs. Every other time Do The Evolution (which I love live) is on the setlist they could throw in Save You or Breakerfall instead. Etc.
    +1 my point is that when they are playing 2 shows at a venue, it's not the end of the world if they don't play the a song at both shows

    Idk, corduroy is one of my favorite ones every one hates. I could do without even flow or Jeremy. Corduroy is just a massive roller coaster ride. Beginning guitar intro is just slow building til bam!!!! The waiting drove me mad!!!!!!!! Then the live version build up to the end of the song. And Eddie's peaceful voice seems to whisper......."Everything has chains absolutely nothings changed.....take my hand not my picture spill my tincture". I know y'all know the lyrics but this is my take. Given to fly and nothingman aren't big on my list either. 
    I love Corduroy & the 2nd night version Mikey was absolutely shredding it

    Personally I am not sick of any of them!  Even Even Flow, Alive, etc.  

    Then again I am the dude who has listened to millions of versions of live Stairway to Heaven to find the definitive version on Zep bootlegs so maybe that is just me haha

    I 100 percent agree with this.  I broke my toe about 4 weeks ago.  I'm walking just fine but it starts to swell after standing a long time so GA on Saturday was getting a bit painful.  My wife was shocked that I started to leave at the end.  I thought them closing with Alive and Ledbetter both nights was kind of lame.  Really need to start mixing up closers.  Already knew RITFW and Baba were going to be alternated.

    me neither. I had one beer at the last QOTSA show (in between Royal Blood and them) so I didn't miss a note too. the really important shows to me, I barely have a drop.

    Echo those sentiments of drinking at PJ shows - that being said if I never ever heard Jeremy again I’d be fine with it. I skip it on show I listen to.
