Setting Sun is now my second favorite closing song in the PJ catalog behind Release. The final 1-2 combo of Got To Give and Setting Sun is incredible. Bravo!
Am I the only one...that this song is breaking down? I can't stop listening to it and being devastated by it. I'm trying to discount the recency bias, but it's skyrocketing up my all-time PJ list.
Got it 4 times, both Vegas and Seattle shows. Can't say it enough, I'm good with the song being a permanent closer.

Same. I was at both Seattle shows. Setting Sun closing both nights felt so damn good.
If you could see what I see now You'd find a way to stay somehow Oh, if you could see, yeah, what I see now You'd make your way to stay somehow
May your days be long 'til kingdom come May our days be long before kingdom come May our days be long until kingdom come We can become one last setting sun Am I the only one hanging on? We could become one last setting sun Or be the sun at the break of dawn Let us not fade Let us not fade

This song has this ability to make me feel so emotional and ready to lose it. In Vegas i got teary eyed listening to it night two and I put my arm around my teen daughter for a sec just to soak it in. I was listening to the bootleg on my back porch and wanted to cry again. It's a very powerful song.
It's interesting for me, this song really stood out to me on the first listen. I initially wasn't sure what to think of the other songs, as those needed time to settled in. But right off the bat, I knew Setting Sun was special. Right when I heard the beautifully hypnotic guitar + percussion. So good. Then that outro. This is a powerful song.

Exactly the same here and to the comments above. In the movie theater on first listen, Setting Sun was the only song I said to myself “that’s Pearl Jam”. Then I listened to it 1000x. I’ve probably watched the LV1 version on YouTube a million times. Eddie is so fucking into it. I was at that show and both Seattle shows…great sets but I most looked forward to Setting Sun.

Watch, it will be in the next Lion King movie in December. I know that would piss some people off but it's so powerful it would work.

My only problem with this song is that I am now conditioned, after seeing it as the closer to ten shows, some of which were followed by lengthy overnight drives home to L.A., to start thinking "What's the fastest way out of here?" whenever I hear it.

You'd find a way to stay somehow
Oh, if you could see, yeah, what I see now
You'd make your way to stay somehow
May our days be long before kingdom come
May our days be long until kingdom come
We can become one last setting sun
Am I the only one hanging on?
We could become one last setting sun
Or be the sun at the break of dawn
Let us not fade
Let us not fade
