I want to start by saying I love PJ and their shows. I seen PJ twice in my life and it was back to back shows at Fenway. I am going to the Vegas show on 5/20/2022. Although the shows are great and sound great I was disappointed after the first Fenway show. i was disappointed because I didnt hear all of their hits. I had to go to the second show to hear the hits they did not play in the first. Lets face we go to hear the hits as well as other songs. We pay a lot of $$$$ for their shows, more than most artists and to not hear all their hits at each show is just robbery! Some of us dont have the $$$ to go to back to back shows. Also you they tour so infrequently that you could go to many shows and still not hear the hits! My friend is going to the Vegas show with me and she has never seen PJ and I know she will be disappointed when they don't play all of their hits.I am begging you PJ to play all the hits that every fan wants to hear, please!!! I love your music!!

The hit I want to hear is Undone!  And I would love to complete a few more albums with Big Wave, God's Dice, Getaway & My Father's Son! 

Since Vegas is the last show on the first leg, I'd say there's more of a chance to get something on the rare side as opposed to radio "hits". But, ultimately, that's up to Ed and the rest of the band.

We are one week shy of 12 years since Undone was last played. 

I heard it at The Gorge. 😛

If I was Ed, I would pick something rare each night, write it on the setlist, and then immediately cross it out and replace it with Evenflow. Just to mess with people.

All I can hear is Phil Hartman's version of Frank Sinatra screaming at them to play the hits in the big rooms!

Pretty much just the list of their most played with a few moves. Editing that setlist generator on your phone is tough. 

JimmyV

Especially when you should be working.

First time using setlist generator. I'm guessing that what I chose was played in Auckland??? Sweet.

Might be in the minority here but I would love to hear a Hits concert. They could easiest pull it off as a 1 or 2 time thing. Think Ontario/Wrigley 2013. Two shows played randomly in the summer. I also feel that Ten Club members have this perception that we fill out almost every seat in an arena as opposed to “locals” probably buying 75% of the tickets. Those 75% are the people that want to hear Even Flow and not take a piss break, they take a piss when Strangest Tribe is played. The energy from a hits show may be too much honestly, it wouldn’t stop. Wrigley 2016 night 2, the first 17 or 18 songs were all hits or had radio play and the vibe was insane. They had to slow it down in Encore 1 for the crowds sake.

They would absolutely destroy all the hits.  That would be a fun ass show.   Crowd would be deafening.

So this is Pearl Jam world and here we don't care about stuff that is popular on the radio and played to the point where it gets old or as they say "hits" (who says that in 2022?).  They are all "hits" here (even Sweet Lew).  I always get a little disappointed at first when I hear Alive (until half way through when I realize it is still great)again but when I hear something new live that is always a little exciting.  I got to hear a lot of the new Album at Ohana last year and to know me and 20000 others heard Buckle up played for the 1st time that is just thrilling. Second about touring infrequently either A.) You don't follow the actual band so maybe don't know when they tour.  or B.) Your frame of reference is a cover band or someone with a lot less on their plate.  I have been to a lot of shows and Pearl Jam is the only band I know of that sets aside a large number of tickets for fans.  I did not get any of the ones I requested this year but it was the 1st year that happened.  Still going to 2 shows when I hope to hear anything they would like to play.  At this point I would be thrilled if Eddie just talked about politics for 3 hours.

A non deep cuts show would be amazing. Like when they play an album all the way through.

I’d be extremely disappointed if Ed just talked about anything.
The do tour infrequently compared to 15 or 20 years ago. Excluding Covid delays, it’s still only a mini tour every 3-4 years. Last time I saw them without having to travel was 2014. Last time I saw them at all was 2018 and I have to fly to see them. That’s not frequent touring by any standards. i used to be able to count on 3-4 shows every couple years if I was willing to drive a few hours. Now I hope for 1 or 2 shows every 2 or 3 years if I’m willing to fly.

I went to the PHX show with my brother, casual fan, and he said they should have played more from Ten!  I said, man, they played 5 songs from Ten, plus Daughter, Small Town, Better Man, Corduroy!  You can't make everyone happy, but I think they try.

Songs at concerts are better if you’ve heard them before. I tend to think generally the “they should have played more from ten” kind of comments have more to do with that’s the only songs they have even heard before. Not necessarily that they are the better songs or even the hits. It’s really hard to grasp a song the first time you hear it 

it’s less a reflection on the song catalog than it is about being a low information concert attendee.  I’m the same way when I go to a random concert.  However I don’t go to those shows with any specific expectation either

Sorry but his show would be boring as hell 

It would be absolutely horrendous.  lol

It would be glorious! 

I'm as hardcore as you guys and even I would be bored as hell at a show like that.  After all these years I still love seeing rvm and porch live.  Just breathe into you are?  Just stop.

Yeah, I was mistaken in what set we were referencing. I'm right there with you. Edited above. 

My fault for not being more clear.

Are these all the "Hits"?:
evenflow
alive
black
jeremy
daughter
elderly
betterman
corduroy
given to fly
dte
last kiss

I guess next tier "hits" would be:
porch
release
go
animal
rvm
immortality
present tense
in hiding

Nothing after 1999 correct?

They have more than that. Unless you mean Hot 100 hits or top 40 then less

I'm guessing the OP would have been somewhat pleased with tonight's show in Oakland.

I just want what has been the norm since 2000.  A good, somewhat unpredictable mix of hits, deep cuts, hopefully a rarity and even an off the wall cover.  New album tours get 6-8 songs from it.  The tour this year has now turned into new album 3-4 songs and the rest is the usual suspects.  Very disappointing
