*** DUBLIN - 2024 SETLIST THREAD ***

That set is awesome in that setup. Would've been great.

Crazy Out of my Mind

Probably the worse setlist on PJ history.

Glad I'm not going to any shows this tour.

Bring on a fan club mini tour. Or a rarities tour. Please!

The setlist is fine and they delivered the songs that I am sure made the crowd very happy

Jeez I do think we have long gotten to the point where certain folks here are more into seeing rare tracks show up on paper more than the experience itself of seeing such a great band play great songs

A travesty in the case being.... an awesome band playing a bunch of great songs that became hits for a good reason?

They have to play more casual stuff in Europe. Almost all the songs are decent.

And in a beautiful place!

To be fair, I’d still be happy to see this set list and I understand why they did it. It’s just too casual for a lot of the people on this forum

I am not into seeing rare songs. I am also not into seeing nothing but the hits. I don’t need to hear Jeremy or Betterman ever again. I get they need to play some of the hits every show to keep the casual fans and first timers engaged. But they have SO MANY great songs that they could play any given night which has been the draw to seeing multiple shows per tour and traveling. 

This set list was super boring on paper and would almost be one I would make if you asked me for a set list I absolutely wouldn’t want.

Exactly. I know it's just one show, but it definitely made me glad I didn't pull the trigger on New Zealand.

Two nights in New Zealand though. I think that definitely makes a difference in whether it's a straight "greatest hits" set.

A Pogues cover would have been great!

I have a few pages of comments to catch up on but as critical as I've been about the number of repeats in a 2 night run, constructing a set of 8 or whatever Dark Matter songs and then their 17 or so most popular songs is fun as hell. If you told me no more than 2 repeats and one Fenway night was front to back hits I would say hell yeah bring it on.

Edit: 6 DM songs. Still cool.

To each their own and if I didn't travel, this would be a fine setlist, but I can't say I wouldn't be disappointed had I spent money on travel and got this setlist.

JK109224

You guys have all seen too many shows recently if you're complaining about that setlist.

FFS, some of you!!! It’s Pearl Jam, a 33 1/2 year old band, one of, if not THE best to ever do it, playing their asses off, and you bitch bitch bitch. SHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT UP

I actually don’t have a ton of problem with the set. I will say the encores so far this tour have had a weird flow to them.

Well said. Agree 100%
It was a fantastic gig.

What history are you basing this on? Please elaborate

marumaruko

It's a tough one. Ride the wave of crowd interaction and crowd energy with adding another hit, or kill the mood with a song like let's say Infallible or Got Some.

Want proof? 
LA night 1, a colossal dip in crowd energy which is even audible on the bootleg, when they played Got Some. 

But good for them to switch up Dark Matter a bit more on tour. The album did not as well in Europe as it did in the US. Haven't played Dublin in more than 10 years probably was a factor, as well.

Hope they play every track 

love that record

The good news for everyone turning their noses up at this setlist: PJ only has so many years left in them (if many at all) so your suffering will end more sooner than later. Ts & Ps until then. 

Last night was a great night…. Can’t wait for Manchester. 

Muffin The Mule

It felt like a festival set list but I enjoyed it, so did most people around me and the new material is great live. 

I hope they play Lost Dogs front to back in London just to piss off all the negative vibe merchants!!

If you liked the setlist and enjoyed the show, that is fantastic.  This forum is for expressing preferences and opinions and as long as people are doing it in a respectful way there should be no issue, but to tell people to shut up because you disagree with their opinion is just poor form.

marumaruko

I'm one of the few who hopes for Got To Give at every remaining European show. This song has so much potential. Carries a perfect summer open air vibe, too. 
They are promoting it, as well, with the recent sportsnet hockey snippet.

CantKeepmedown

Whiniest fanbase in all of music. Sweet Jesus can you be more miserable?

Gravey1975

I think the reason there is some negativity is because the US leg setlists were so good. A really good balance. So there's perhaps a bit of disappointment that they've thrown that out of the window for the euro tour. Tho it may just be for the larger shows, so we'll see.

I'll concede that point. It was a shame too, because that song is a banger.

I wonder if someone could do the math and correlate venue size with greatest hits

Seems to be the bigger the venue, the greater the hits

Milton Keynes had its fair share of deep cuts tbf. And that was a sizeable outdoor show.

Wrigley and Fenway are both 40k and I don't remember those as being particularly hit forward
