The variety of songs is kind of crazy when you think about it

Too much Porch ending the first sets and not enough KISS covers. BUT LET'S NOT NITPICK

Agreed. My weak eyes counted 51 unique tunes. Most bands don't hit 51 different songs on a tour. 

So fortunate I made it to those shows. That Krakow set is one of the best I've seen in ages.

I do think about it. A lot actually. I love that their sets and their studio albums have a vast variety of sounds and textures. It’s why I love them. They never regurgitate, they’re always trying something new.

Wow, these shows would have been amazing to be at! 

Totally agree. It’s tough to get excited about a band who hits the same set list of 18 songs each night.

I did back to back Brooklyn shows in’13, and it was 50+ different songs between the shows. I think I only heard 10 songs repeat. How amazing is this band?

Exactly what I tell people who ask why I tromp around a Europe following a rock band.  You never know what what songs you might get but the show is always dynamite. 

I was lucky enough to see both of those shows.  Any show that opens with Of the Girl is going to be kickass... that’s a guarantee.

I was in Calgary 2013 when they opened with this. I was in the pit close to the front and I started talking about this being my guess for an opener. Everyone around me was saying that there was no chance because they had been opening with pendulum the entire tour up to this point (fact checkers chime in lol). Anyways, they walk on to the pendulum hour glass music and I’m like “fuck I guess they were right”....... suddenly that music cuts and they lay into the intro for “of the girl” and everyone around me starts losing their shit with me!!! What a moment! That’s what this fucking band is about. The memories, the tours, the personal experiences and connection to the music. Enjoy it all peeps! Pearl Jam rocks!!!

And there was Act 3: Berlin. Another awesome setlist. The best opener ever: Wash.

Well. You know I didn't go there. And you know I missed Thumbing My Way. So why does this need to be brought up? This doesn't help me heal.

Calgary 13 was a blast. Just more evidence that any show that opens with OtG is going to be a special night.... I remember McCready saying it was his favourite opener as well.

Sorry. I wasn't planning to go there but decided in the morning that I have to go and seeing that setlist I would never forgive myself. I already skipped Katowice II 2000 and that still hurt. Everybody makes mistakes.

I have a tale of missing a song.
