Glad to see folks were still able to complain in the thread! 

Right. I have had my moments of complaining but after a recent family member loss and a scare myself, attempting to be my positive. 

If you haven't seen PJ 80 times, this set has it all. Apparently they can't do enough. 

Enjoy them while we have the ability to see them.

I believe only Kurt was officially name-checked, but Ed also said the lyrics were about everyone in their circle(s) who died from Heroin overdose/longterm usage (Layne, John Baker Saunders, Dee Dee Ramone, etc.)

"One thing I've learned about addiction in the last few years is that having seen other folk go through it, and really not having done that, with heroin which can grip you that intensely. I didn't have a complete understanding and a lot of times it was easy to come to the conclusion that you place blame on the person or accuse them of weakness or ask, "Why couldn't Kurt keep it together?" There was always that in the back of your mind. So with all the sympathy and empathy you could muster you still felt like, "Wow, there was so much to live for." What I've learned is there really isn't any blame. It has happened to some folks I cared about so much and had it so together, so it really isn't blame thing. I think the song is expressing how badly you want to help." - Ed, 2011

This notion reappears on Earthling's "Brother the Cloud"

I am Mine to open. Why? Cause it just seems right. 

Nice thought but Betterman as an opener blew everyone’s minds tonight. 

Shout out to the Euro/UK tribe. It was good to see y’all!

For the 1000th time... Most of us are just curious as to why things changed so drastically. That's it. We still go to as many shows as we can. 

U have every right to feel that way.

This show was Donna's that was alll about tonight..
Rest means nothing.. 
When they start playing the song. I went to hug and show my respect to her sister Amanda.
Was really hard moment... She just hug me and say hi Dimi and continue crying on my arms..
This moments are when u don't know what to say and do..
We gonna miss u always Donna.

Thank you sirs, may we have another.

That might be accurate 

Except for You Are. Yes it very well could be.

Discopij

Could have been a great set but they started late and crossed off songs … can’t believe we are at the stage where we have to beg for 25 songs but I guess that’s where we are

3days

Watchtower gets crossed off A LOT. Personally, I've been to 4 shows where it didn't make the cut. It frequently gets replaced with something that isn't even on the list. Wrigley 1 in 2018 had a phenomenal closing 3 on the original list: Baba O'Riley, Indifference, All Along the Watchtower. Instead we got RITFW and Yellow Ledbetter. It's almost like they wanna do it. I don't understand.

Pushing 60, etc...what sounded like fun earlier in the day seems like too heavy a lift at the end of the night,

AATW blows, maybe that’s the reason

Thanks for the info. I just love the lyrics to Save You. I have suffered from depression for a long time and survived a horrific suicide attempt that cost me a leg. Since then I have been in groups with other depressed folks and I just think of this song because I want to help so bad because I hate to see people suffer so horribly. In a way it's like Ed is speaking to all of us that suffer from addiction, depression or just about anything. Great song. I have to say, I think I misinterpreted the lyrics to Last Exit prior to my attempt because I had made that my anthem. I should have been listening to Present Tense, Save You, Life Wasted, All Those Yesterdays etc. I know I am leaving some out but that's why I love Pearl Jam and Eddie Vedder. So many songs that mean so much to all of us. That's why I am here every day following along with the set lists. Sorry to ramble.

I remember reading a long time ago it was written about Mike when he was struggling with drugs. I’ll try to find the interview

This sounds plausible. While they have played it before, it doesn't get played often. They seem to retreat to more familiar material.
