I guess the days of 30 songs are over. I thought maybe the 2021 shows were shorter due to the festivals but now i'm concerned.

They played for two hours and 44 minutes on the first night of a tour after being away for most of the last three years. What is it you’re “concerned” about?

Concerned that we are in for shorter shows going forward. I don't care how long they were on stage for, 23 songs is a short Pearl Jam show.

This may surprise you but you’re not actually entitled to a certain number of songs per show. You can always just not go if the setlists start falling short of your criteria. 

Where did I state I was entitled to a certain amount of songs per show or that I was not going to attend because the shows are a little shorter than in previous years?

Take a chill pill. Eddie isn't going to send you a love letter for being the great super defender on the message board.

Oh I actually think the new record stinks and am a little bummed it takes up a third of the set but I also understand that’s the way it works, the same way five dudes in their mid/late 50s might not play a 30 song show the first night back. Definitely wouldn’t say I’m “concerned” but that’s just me.

It doesn't stink though

Apparently the traffic sucked if you were showing up around 730-8PM. I got there around 6:50 and it was fine. Ed came out and did a song solo and then introduced Josh who did 6 songs or about 30 min. It looked like they were ready to come out at 8:30 but didn’t start until 8:50.

Ed was super chatty, has all his family plus guitar teacher, Bill Walton in the crowd. Had to be at least 15-20 minutes of stories etc. Sounded like the band is in a strict “Covid Bubble” and can’t interact with family and friends to prevent cancelations this tour. 

Gigaton songs were great live and Ed seemed excited to play them. It was a very solid show for an opener and I imagine the set lists get longer by the show.

All y'all complaining about the number of songs they played have no idea that Eddie probably talked 20 minutes telling various stories with his friends and family at the show...

2 hrs and 44 minutes is a long show.  Little surprised they did not come back out for YL or Indifference but that would put it at almost 3 hours which is quite long.  Not complaining though and it wont keep me from going just because they did not end with YL or Indifference.

The shows last year were shorter as well. Concerned may be a strong word and you may also be overreacting to it's use. Perhaps disappointed may have been a better choice.

Too bad you don't enjoy Gigaton, I look forward to hearing the songs live in September.

If the Earthlings shows are any indication. It might be this way. But it's only the first show. And it's still a great show.

It’s some of Ed’s weakest work as a lyricist in a long time, imo. Maybe hearing the tunes live will make me reconsider. I’ll be at both LA shows so will find out soon enough!

Absolutely. I knew this day would come lol Maybe it's just a sad realization that we are all getting older

Ed was extremely talkative tonight and even said that he won’t talk as much at the other shows but this feels like being home. It made for some amazing moments, but for those of you concerned about number of songs, I would take the 2 hours and 44 minutes as more of an indication than the number of songs tonight. 

FirstExit

2 hours and 44 minutes, and 23 songs. Was Porch 45 minutes long?

iamloco724

They were on stage for 2 hours and 44 minutes, Eddie talked A LOT.. Said he won't do so at other shows.. To me sounds like if they're on stage that long that we are likely to get an increase in song count with less talking no? Not sure why others aren't seeing that. 

UKBgirl

Surprised nobody has mentioned there were no covers.

TA243471

Ed talked alot.  More than usual, and thats saying something. Also, Mikes solo on Even Flow felt like it was 20 minutes long. It was Awesome!!!!

79-year-old Paul McCartney and his 36-song tour opening set list laughs at this notion.

This right here. Age is just a number. What I would have been annoyed with is the 50 minute gap between josh and the band going on. Let josh play longer or go on at 8:30.

evenflow82

Every tour it seems like the band needs about five shows to get everything together. It's unfortunate they never play more than twelve shows in a Leg.

35% Gigaton.   Wow.  

 I am ok with that, it is the 26% Ten that is getting old for me. I am sure it was a great night no matter what and the reverse mamason is awesome. Instead of death, we are alive.

I would guess the opposite. Probably less talking and same number of songs. 2:25-2:30 long show.

I think you are right. After all, it's not like songs were scratched off the setlist because they ran out of time.

Agreed with this. I think this is their new normal. I don't want to sound gloomy but if this is what each show is going to be like - 22-24 songs without the variety we've come to know and love - then a lot of fans won't see it as worth it to travel far and wide to shows (and I think that's a significant portion of their current fan base). I hope I'm wrong and they're just easing into things but I'm worried...

Wasn’t Fenway 2018 about 2.5 hours and 30 songs? I know it said here 2 hr 40, but I recall there was a fairly long wait at beginning and end of show. And Ed talked ALOT.

SVRDhand13

Ed I love you but STFU

nicknyr15

I’d be very disappointed honestly. 23 songs is not it. That’s a festival set at best. Hopefully they’re just easing into the tour.

I guess my theory that Alright would be the new opener is shot to hell
