"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.)

C'mon man it's one of the most played and covered songs of all-time and it is amazing, of course people know what it's meaning is!

I'm just saying that people might think they'd like to live in the world the song imagines, but they wouldn't actually like it. Imagine no possessions? Have you seen a Pearl Jam merch line?

Another cover...mostly.

Disappointing set list especially being the last show until who knows.  Thus  show had so much potential and hype.  Meh

Not only have I seen them, I've stood in them and watched my life go by😎

I agree with this. But it is weird…over the years no matter how much his voice got shot down, I think he always did a great job with this one.

^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. 

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.

And that was the original point someone else made 😂😂😂

I couldn’t be any farther away from that end of the spectrum. By the way I am a 55-year old woman who’s been in a 24-year marriage. So let’s not box people up by their demographics 🤣

Not boxing people up, just trying to explain why that song might have a special appeal to this particular person, with a particular musical training and a particular romantic history. She also recently survived cancer, so the song's themes further resonate with her.

Yep, closed the main strong but, an all cover encore...it's like getting 4 samples of 🍷 and only 1 of them was any good...I think that makes sense🤔 lol

Next time, just start singing "Imagine no possessions" over and over and see if you can get the line to thin out.

It’s all good. No need to explain. I have been in this super wide spectrum for some time now…

After Crown they have to play straight fire and do Go -> Lukin -> NFY -> Grievance -> Leash. Ed would then pass out on stage so the band could go into instrumental Brother before Ed rises again to sing Alive.

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. 

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.

Chi 2 is super strong.
