    Retrograde was the biggest surprise for me, wasn’t a stand out on the album for me, but love how large it gets by the end when played live.

    Retrograde  for the few I saw/heard and It's Alright for those not seen.  Honestly I love the whole album minus buckle up

    Who Ever Said is my favourite live. Quick Escape, Retrograde, and Never Destination are also great. 

    Most dissapointed would be 7 Oclock. Was top 3 for my on the studio album 

    Songs I am ok not hearing again would be River Cross and Buckle Up.

    Can’t pick one. The gigaton songs translate awesome live. Way better than the LB songs. 

    I heard five live … can’t choose one! Perhaps dance or whoever said? Wish I got 7 o’clock though! That song is one of their best.

    Couldn't agree more with everything you said.

    7 O Clock is a word salad and kills the flow a bit.

    loved hearing River Cross (Toronto). So much emotion in Eddie’s voice.

    I got to hear them all (except Comes Then Goes obv).  Quick Escape is the best track for a live show.  I don't think it's close.  Alright was a lot better live than on the album.  7 O'Clock great on the album, not as good live.  Retrograde is great.  Who Ever Said also v. good.  River Cross is very good, but has to be in the right spot in a setlist.  Ed has trouble with the lyrics on SBWM.  DOTC is solid.  Never Destination, Take the Long Way bringing up the rear.  Oh, and Buckle Up is back there somewhere too.
    I've seen quite a few Pearl Jam shows.

    I really loved hearing Retrograde and SBWM. But I also really liked watching Ed’s dancing and hand gestures during DOTC.

    DOTC is easily my favourite song on the record, and definitely my favourite live. Alright was great too.

    Didn’t think anything of Retrograde until I heard it live. Now that I have WOW.  The power and sound blew me away.  Glad I got it live. Wish I saw Quick Escape but I think that will be around.  Retrograde reminds me of Sleight of Hand and be played rarely.

    Whoever said…..

    Though I also really thought Never Destination and Quick escape shined. DOTC was fun but was hit or miss in how it sounded. Still enjoyed.

    The one song I do not get the love for is retrograde….meh song.

    Quick Escape is top for me, but i like how Who Ever Said builds

    Only got DOTC once in three shows and it didn't have the impact I was expecting

    I got DOTC at both my shows and had so much fun with it so it was probably my fave, which is funny since I didn't even like it when the album came out.  Retrograde sounded amazing. I loved the emotion in River Cross. Who ever said also solid. Buckle up is the only one that I heard that I'd rather not here again..especially in the 2nd slot. I was hoping to hear Quick Escape live but no dice.

    Retrograde seemed to really lower the energy when played at Camden. Perhaps that was just placement. 

    River Cross in Toronto was good, particularly with the dedication. I think it was better placed in the setlist and so it didn't kill the energy.
