I've also heard him say they love playing live. But kind of hard to do one without the other.

I think that has changed. A 3 hr set will be a rarity now.
They have had lots of openers. I guess, without knowing, that Taylor Hawkins death had something to do with the shorter sets. 100% speculation.
I've just assumed they are getting older, Ed's voice won't last as long and Matt probably gets tired on drums after 2 hours instead of 3 now.
Check the timing. As I said 100% speculation. But the sets got shorter after Taylor died. MC was a good friend.Post edited by mace1229 on0 -

The band is getting older. At least two of them are in their 60s now.
It really is that simple.

I think we all would. Million dollars per night and 2M for a festival. Yes please. But we cannot sing or play like Ed.0 -

I used to love traveling when I was younger... the older I get, the more I like sleeping in my own bed.Post edited by Merkin Baller on0

Having been to 4 shows of this new format (STL, Nashville, St. Paul 1&2) I will say this…
The band sounds great for sure. The downsides for me is now when Ed sorta rambles I feel like I just want more songs where I used to hang on every word. With the shorter sets I just want them to fire off a few in a row and keep the energy going. Second, it makes the set lists less fun. I know they’re mixing it up a lot still which is awesome but the formula doesn’t leave a whole lotta room to get songs they don’t play that often. Let’s say they play 24 songs. Around 4 off Gigaton plus 10 “hits” 5 of the big ones (BMan, Eflow) and 5 second tier ones (Wishlist, DTE) plus a closer. That only leaves around 9 songs at most to play around with and get something like Grievance, Comatose etc. I know they have to play Betterman and Even Flow almost every night but I used to not care as much because there were 6-8 more songs in the sets. This all makes the shows feel a little short for me.Anyway, I had a great time in St. Paul and looking forward to Indy on Sunday. The band is tight and the sets have been quite varied. I’m happy and appreciate they’re still together playing live and seem ti be having fun.Post edited by Abe Froman on0 -

How was Bono’s kids band as an opener?0

Playing 4 slow songs to open gets us more of the gems we want, which are hard to work into the set without breaking the momentum.
The "punch" is a little delayed, but its a good trade off, for me.Post edited by OfThePearl on0 -

My running joke for years is that I love Pearl Jam, but I'm not the biggest fan of Pearl Adult Contemporary (Just Breathe, Low Light, etc.).2000: Camden 1, 2003: Philly, State College, Camden 1, MSG 2, Hershey, 2004: Reading, 2005: Philly, 2006: Camden 1, 2, East Rutherford 1, 2007: Lollapalooza, 2008: Camden 1, Washington D.C., MSG 1, 2, 2009: Philly 1, 2, 3, 4, 2010: Bristol, MSG 2, 2011: PJ20 1, 2, 2012: Made In America, 2013: Brooklyn 2, Philly 2, 2014: Denver, 2015: Global Citizen Festival, 2016: Philly 2, Fenway 1, 2018: Fenway 1, 2, 2021: Sea.

I'm also guessing one or more of the members can't/doesn't want to do longer shows and this is one way to stretch it out over 2 hours still.0
