Will we ever see a show of 30 songs again?

The last 30 plus song show was pre COVID.  Looking at the last three years it has been 22-25 songs per show. Grateful they are still playing shows and I know they are getting older but do we think a 30 song set or two encore set is gone and not coming back?

    Agree it will happen again but only seldomly on a special event. Maybe ballpark shows but even then probably not.

    Ohana 2021 told us what was to come.  Expectations were high, Ed’s festival, and they played low 20’s.

    We'll know by Missoula (or Wrigley).

    And if it does happen after, it'll be rare.

    I thought Seattle N2 would be the best chance for that, but any show where they have an opener seems unlikely.  Perhaps they’ll adjust to 3 days off between shows and go longer in 2025.  We can hope.

    This is exactly what I was requesting in the Pearl Jam Week thread.  Only play a few venues per continent, 3 nights, PJ20 type setlist.

    no , never.

    its pretty clear when Ed caught covid in 2020/2021 it was pretty dead serious and it left his immune system pretty bang up. thats why he gets sick pretty easily (see cancel shows in europe 2022 and 2024).

    Eruptions, Interstellar Overdrive and Untitled padded those numbers. 

    Also LOL at a new show having by far the best set of that tour after people held out for 2 plus years to see their postponed shows.

    It will be rare, but I'm sure there will be a couple here and there. Probably on really good nights.

    Yes, we will see a show where they perform 30+ songs.  Hopefully multiple shows.  But not during a standard tour.

    Wrigley Field will be interesting. Ed’s love for the city and the Cubs could get a 30 song setlist. 
    Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. Sorry, Ted, that's a dumb question... skip that.

    If you were betting, wouldn't it have to be the last show of a tour?

    Unplugged (Benaroya-type) maybe.
