^Isn't all of the above preferences from so many different songs just more confirmation why we all ❤️ this damn band so much...and in 10 songs it's all over for awhile again😭

I mean…how can someone call Speed of Sound, Future Days, Just Breathe, The End “best song ever!” Like…I am all the way on the other side of the spectrum 😂

I like "Speed of Sound." With respect to "Future Days" and "Just Breathe," a lot of people really like love songs. And a lot of people don't really like loud songs. It's why almost every hard rock band's biggest hit is a ballad. They have broader appeal than the heavier songs.

Pearl Jam has amazing ballads…those ain’t tho. 

Sirens isn’t it either. I really dislike that song.

If I were at this show, I'd be so psyched not to hear "Even Flow," and then when they went into "Habit," I'd be screaming, "Play 'Even Flow'! Play 'Even Flow'!"

Yes, I'm like, play Habit, but then rational me realizes I'm longing for the live version between '96 - 2003. Ed can't growl like he used to on that song, but I'll take that over the severely harsh '95 versions. His voice was destroyed.

I feel like this set has zero flow.  Very mid main set.

Again, you don't think so, and I don't think so, but there are a lot of people out there with very anodyne taste. I mentioned this before, but a friend who knows how much I love Pearl Jam but who isn't familiar with much beyond the early hits emailed me out of the blue several weeks ago about how blown away she was by this song she heard that turned out to be Pearl Jam. That song was "Just Breathe." She's a 47-year-old classically trained pianist in a 20-year marriage, and that song spoke to her.

I know casual fans that think Just Breathe is one of their best songs ever. Ballad. Was on the radio and tv shows. Easy to listen to. I actually agree. Love it. Top 10 PJ song for me.

I remember the days when we got them both; to close set 1 and encore 1. Those were the days.

My guess is this speech leads to Imagine.

The setlist is GOOD. But, 

As someone who saw the Chicago shows, it appears that Ft Worth wins the tour. Austin is fun, but the climax has hit.

Nailed it, I like Imagine but I’d rather hear something else with the band or a solo like can’t keep/soon forget instead

Mhhhhh Imagine. I love all of this but I am sad about Noblesville and Baltimore.

O.K., so similar story to the "Just Breathe" one. My mom knows how much I love Pearl Jam but has no idea what they sound like. This summer, while visiting my parents, an ambulance went down the street outside, and my mom made the sign of the cross (which she always does when an ambulance passes). She mentioned that it always makes her sad to hear sirens because they might mean that someone is very sick or dying. I told her about "Sirens" and then I played it for her. She loved it and was like, "Oh, I guess this is why you like Pearl Jam so much." I was like, "Um, well, this song is not really representative of their sound." If it were, my mom would probably come on the next tour with me.

I will take Chi 2 as the winner but, of course I'm biased...although I haven't made this claim since Moline/No Code so it's not like I always call my shows.

Encore is killing me...can it be saved??? 2 covers, really? Why?

SOLAT319

That speech was fire…

BF25394

"Imagine" is such a beloved song but I really don't think a lot of people who love it have really listened to it. "No possessions"? "No countries"? "No religion"? Most people would not actually like a world without these things. (Some would, but not most.)
