*** BOSTON 1 SETLIST THREAD ***

Vedder Vitamins

Great show in my book. Re a few comments above. What rock band had ever taken the stage at 6:30? No way there going to play for 4 plus hours.

So were minds supposed to be blown because they played a bad song for only the fourth time ever?

Are we supposed to consider you the judge of what is a good or bad song? lol

Hey if you're one of those guys that gets all excited based on how many times a song is played that's cool. Do your thing.

I am actually the opposite, as shown by my last post right before yours here.  But to pretend music is anything but subjective and writing off musical moments as "bad" and as truth and writing off the excitement of others who are excited it got played is just silly 

I really wasn't being negative. It was just funny to me that that was supposed to be a mind blowing moment. Trust me I'm not one of these people that thinks the show has to have 10 tracks off of Lost Dogs played to be good. You and I probably see eye to eye on this subject more than you think.

That is fair - I think for me I just get mindblown by those who kind of seemingly jump straight to complaining about a show based on what a setlist looks like on paper and my mindset of being bewildered kind of carried over to your post after being bewildered by the poster above you lol sorry if there was misunderstanding on that one

To be fair this is a setlist thread so people commenting either way is fair.

Some of you really lack reading comprehension! Don't make the statement and don't come out 1.5 hours later! take the stage at 7:30 at the latest and there's no problem! Last time I'm stating this, if you still can't comprehend, too bad.

Really Ed, you start at 8 with a strict 10 .30 curfew????

PJam east coast fans that traveled 10+ hours you gotta be kidding Ed

Typical east cast crap, oh well, present tense was incredible, but yet again, no ledbetter for me:(

I'm sitting at home watching The Prince and Me (Eddie just proposed!!!) and wishing I were in Boston right now. Oh man, what a great setlist - would have loved to have seen Out of my Mind! And all the others. I was incredibly lucky to get to go to the first five US shows this tour and I knew I'd be kicking myself for not going to Boston. Argh.

Life wasted. Wasted reprise, better man and sonic reducer was crossed from setlist

So nothing exciting was crossed out. 

Easy cowboy! You're starting to remind me of @HesCalledDyer on the Cubs thread in AET. Lmao

Which song crossed off was exciting?  Wasted reprise?  Sonic reducer?  Pretty weak tonight. Yeah outta of mind was played but it is a pretty shitty song hence the reason they never play it. 

I'm not saying you were wrong Jersey Boy. I actually agree wholeheartedly with ya.

Lol. That poster will be out this week. I promise. 

No worries, bud. It seems your sick right now? Luckily you don't have a class to teach tomorrow. 

Basement isn't anywhere near finished so the poster isn't being hung for a few months at least.

Fuckin awesome show.  Good job yet again fellas.

They started more than an hour late at both Seattle shows after sending emails saying you better be on time, so it's not like this is a new thing. Not sure why anyone expected them to start on time.

What other band plays their hearts out for over 2.5-3 hours? And they don’t play the same or mostly the same setlist every night. That’s what I thought. GTFO

This is a textbook example of how reading songs in a list tells you nothing about the performance. 

Out of My Mind was excellent. Ed's vamping on weed as the band started playing the song was goofy and fun. We're used to the improv jam/mediocre sound quality recording and this was not that. They played it through pretty tight and it sounded awesome. Great way to start that last encore.

Agree on Out of My Mind - was hoping they’d go right into VU’s Rock n Roll from it.

This was the problem I had with the show too. Stadium was full by 715 and the sum was down. I couldn't understand why they waited so late to take the stage. Sitting there for 2.5 hours waiting drained my enthusiasm somewhat.

Look at the bright side:

•you didn't have to wait on ANOTHER rain delay like Wrigley 

•watchtower was not scratched from your setlist

Fucking hell this negative nancy crap in setlist threads lately really sucks. 

I agree.  There has been an increase in spoiled people lately I have noticed.  Like, if each night doesn't have tons of obscurities and a 99 percent change from the last show it automatically sucks.


It is Pearl Jam playing tons of great tunes at Fenway.  If you can't enjoy a set filled with great songs by a great band, no matter how often some might be played more than others, that is on you, not Pearl Jam.

^hey man,they were incredible last night, but...

Inconsistent start times,  and show lengths that vary by AN HOUR create the perception of impropriety.

Complaining in the SETLIST thread while the show is still happening or immediately following it, will get you nowhere.

Stop feeling ripped off, and attempt to relax and enjoy yourself for five seconds.

Carry on.
