    Corduroy has worked hard enough for the last 30 years. He could use a break.

    Personally I need to hear Corduroy at every PJ show.  It's a staple. It's the most Pearl Jammy of Pearl Jam songs.
    It’s my favorite song ever, and not just PJ songs, all songs. And I’ve only gotten it 3 out of my 6 shows, so yeah absolutely agree.
    I've seen it more than 50 times and, unlike some other songs I've seen them play that much or more, it's one I'm always excited to hear. I will always feel a special connection to the song because I learned its title directly from Jeff after my first show at the Boston Garden in 1994 (along with "Immortality").
    I learned the song's title directly from Ed....when I read the back of the CD. Does that count?

    Sure, but how can you be sure Ed did the graphic design? I mean, who is Jerome Turner, really?

    Probably my one gripe but only because I e seen it a bunch. Light Years made it worth the trip as did all the new stuff. 
    This show, another show, a show here and a show there.

    I was there.  Save your sorriness for those who have to smell your hoagie breath!  :). Just kidding!  Clearly not your thing but Sac was awesome -- as was Pendulum.  To each their own.

    It's up there for me...Corduroy was the first PJ song that made me pay very close attention. I started off a Soundgarden/STP fan and kind of ignored PJ because they were on MTV all the time.

    Vitalogy was the first PJ album I bought and I still remember talking about it with the guys at work. A bunch of CPA nerds talking about Spin the Black Circle, etc.

    About Sacramento, in my own pre- internet days, I used to be concerned that Pearl Jam wouldn't return to Sac, after that July 16, 1998 Sac. show where Ed was hit with someone's boot. That was a wild show!
      It was good to see them Monday night. The afterglow 's still pleasantly present

    @ Sacramento, " pretty good singin' " crowd

    And didn't Ed say something about Josh (I think) talking about backstage about how they liked the arena.  Hopefully they'll make it a regular stop!  I was thrilled not to have to drive home from Oakland or SF or (gulp) Shoreline.  (love Shoreline as a venue, but it's soooo far!!!)

    Yes, they liked that it wasn't as far to the back of the arena so felt more intimate with the crowd.

    ( I love shoreline too, and it's far for me but it used to be a place I went to the most, so driving it...fine, until those couple of Warped Tours before those ended- the year they had Outside Lands, Sf, Warped Tour @ the shoreline, and a sporting event at the stadium near there, occurring the same day, plus road work at Pleasanton exit from 680, on the return? maybe FFDP, Megadeth a yr&1/2 ago was the last time, lol- & no lol. Sacramento was smooth, but I saw the road work set- ups on the other side driving back... It was a good day for a Monday with PJ )
