    Even Flow
    I don’t think the new album will change things that much. It will just make the obscure songs especially from LB and Backspacer less played. For example I bet Yellow Moon gets played maybe one time this tour. Kind of like what happened to the Fixer once LB tour came around. On Backspacer tour or fixer was played almost every show and then next tour only like twice. They probably will just throw in those couple rarities each show.

    why wasn't Jeremy on this list?
    I just worked up the list based on my last 3 shows and Jeremy wasn't played every night. In fact of the 14 shows I've been to its only been played 8 times.

    I've seen PJ 10 times, and Jeremy is the only song that was played at every show. That would of been my pick - but since it's not an option, I went with Evenflow.

    Given To Fly
    Given was my choice because I have seen it plenty and it is just not one of my faves.  DTE,Evenflow, and Jeremy along with most of the covers except Crazy Mary and Crown.

    Even Flow
    As much as id love to see something new instead of Even Flow - it is a great point in the show to nip to the toilet - (whilst hoping Mike just goes on a crazy 7min solo)!

    Even Flow
    As much as I like even flow it was my vote. I would rather just some of these shuffled around the setlist. Alive doesnt need to always be at the end. Same for porch to close a set. Even flow is 99% middle of set 1 and DTE at least gets played all over and is random

    DTE is my answer but Unthought Known is probably number two.

    Evenflow. Just because I hate getting my toes tromped on by piss-breakers.
    I smile, but who am I kidding...

    DTE, Alive, Evenflow, Jeremy, Betterman, Daughter.  Sometimes the old gotta die to let the young live.
    I've seen quite a few Pearl Jam shows.

    With 11 albums, even if they play 3 hours thats still going to average only 3 songs per album. Given that they will likely play 5 or 6 from Gigaton, and if they scale back to 2 1/2 hours we may only see less than 2.
    Lets just skip Avocado, RA, BS and LB altogether. 
    But my guess is to make room for several new songs its going to be greatest hits setlist. Which I'd be happy with. I only get excited about the deep tracks when its one I havent heard anyway, and even then I'd still take Betterman over Evil Little Goat.

    This is exactly what I would not want to happen.  I love a few hits to get the crowd amped up and for the fans that haven't seen them much but I love the deep cuts.  I want to hear songs from RA and Avocado.  A greatest hits setlist puts them closer to all the other bands that just use the same setlist every night.  No thanks.  Save greatest hits set for festivals.

    Jeremy was never one of my favorites until Wrigley 1 2016 which gave me a new appreciation for it. It seems like Ed feels the same way because it's been pretty standard ever since. 

    DTE and GTF depend on the show and where they fall in the setlist - I can remember times when each of those came up in fun spots. 

    Porch could probably use a little rest. Give me a Corduroy every time.

    I'd add Unthought Known and Lightning Bolt to this list - both have become standards since they came out. I like both songs fine but don't need to hear them every show.
