I didn't expect this track to be the bastard child of Gigaton.  My money would have been on "Buckle Up" or "Alright," but each has been played live (and "Buckle Up" has been played twice).  "Comes Then Goes" seemed like the perfect "first song of first encore" track, at least the way the sets used to be constructed.  Anyway, six shows in (Sea Hear Now, Ohana x 3, S.D., L.A.) and "Comes Then Goes" is the only Gigaton track that hasn't been performed live.  Here's hoping this is rectified tonight in L.A.

(It would also be nice to hear "Take the Long Way" again.)
I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    Totally agree...I hate to say, two years on I'm just not digging Gigaton that much, but "Comes Then Goes" is in my top four (along with Wolfmoon, DOTC and TTLW). Hope to hear it at one of the Jokeland shows!

    There are few songs of Pearl Jam's that I care never to hear. I think there may be even one and that one is Comes Then Goes.  I get lyrically it is important, but maybe if they cut it down live to 3 minutes.   It isn't a bad song, just my personal opinion.   Interesting how all our tastes can be different (although not too different as we are all here because we love PJ).  Maybe my opinion will change if I hear it live.  Just goes on too long and I fear I will fall asleep.  

    I hope they play it at your show.

    Lol. I hadn't even seen this and posted the same thing in another thread. I think it'd be prefect to open encore 1. Haters be damned, it's one of my top two from gigaton.

    "Watch out for music. It should come with a health warning. It can be dangerous. It can make you feel so alive, so connected to the people around you, and connected to what you really are inside. And it can make you think that the world should, and could, be a much better place. And just occasionally, it can make you very, very happy." -Peter Gabriel
