***********************************************************************************************************************************

We all love to see the boys live. They put on an amazing show without pyrotechnics, elaborate lighting rigs, etc... You know, the fluff that is sometimes used to cover up or distract from a band's lack of charisma or ability. What really makes a Pearl Jam show special (amongst other things) is the uniqueness of each night's setlist. There are some songs you can pretty much bank on being played (looking at you Even Flow) while there are others that stand absolutely no chance of even having a chord accidentally strummed (*cough* DF *cough*).

There's a pretty good mix of fans on this board. Some newer. Some older. As such, I think we all have our favorite PJ era of songs. We all have our favorites to listen to at home. So what are the top five original PJ songs YOU would like to hear them play live?

Here's mine...

1. Deep
2. Save You
3. Hail, Hail
4. I Got Shit
5. Oceans

    Thanks :) I hope other people find it interesting when the numbers are posted. Someone waaaaaayy more intelligent than me once said "nature favors diversity" and it made sense... so I guess I'm just curious about the diverse tastes of this board.

    It never stops does it? I think that's one of the great things about this band... They have such a diverse body of work that there's always something to listen to no matter what the mood.
