The biggest change is the loss of the “first” encore.
The encores they are playing now are like the 2nd encores from before but we are missing that 6-7 song first encore that would have rarer slower songs

100%. 

By far my favourite and most anticipated part of the whole show. I loved the 3 song slow start too for the same reason. I get others are bored by these but I miss them!

Yes this - same for me.  

The opening especially…

Even to the first 4 or 5 songs.  And I do think the starts have been getting really strong again.  

And although it’s not quite the same, I kind of expected it with the addition of support bands again, they’re still the greatest band to see live.  

I hope there will be a return to An Evening with PJ shows again.  But if not, just less shows per tour.  

Krakow show was great though.   Some really cool song choices and the band were on fire.

 I apologize  for being hard on   opinionnaters  here on this setlist  I love this  music  like all of you except maybe not  all for some  folks like certain  songs , hope everyone  is well and has a great show when they go to their show 
Peace

I'm all for the deep cuts in the encore but I can see the flipside. When I go to watch some other band, especially a big act that I'm probably only gonna see once or twice in my life, I have a certain expectation for the encore. 

I understand what you are saying. However, Pearl Jam are the ones that created the unpredictability. If they had always done things a certain way it wouldn’t have been as jarring as this current tour turned out to be. I think that is what people seem to be misunderstanding when people talk about the disappointing setlists.

yes, the hardcores did get “smile” but if you don’t have a problem with the similar encores/sets what were your thoughts years ago when you could go to a show and not get betterman, daughter, small town etc.? Did you leave the show disappointed or did you say to yourself “well, I just need to see them again”? 

That depends if you're the type of fan who would go see the same band multiple times or if you just wanted to see PJ once expecting the hits..

They switched up their sets in Hyde Park and there were people complaining about not getting Black, Small Town etc. on the night they went..

Nothing will please everyone, but a hit heavy encore will leave the largest percentage of the crowd happy.. that matters

Does it matter with them though? They never focused on playing a hit heavy anything and it’s still incredibly difficult to score tickets, especially in certain markets. 

I believe it does....that has to be the reason for the change. Maybe the thought is to make the shows more crowd pleasers than hardcore 10c pleasers.  I get it.

If the new formula shuffles things up and gives me 1 or 2 semi rare (or rare) tunes then I'll just shut up and go with it.

I was talking to a guy at the Black Keys show last night who is a PJ fan. He saw them in Barcelona and said that when they started playing Jeremy the crowd went apeshit. That would be hard to ignore even though people like me are criticizing the setlists.
