Better Opener?
Grandmas Jam

Alright I wanted to throw up a little question to the masses. My friend and I have been having this arguement for the past few years about which song is a better open to a Pearl Jam show and I wanted to finally settle the score with him. Which song would you rather hear (or do you think is more appropriate to open a show) "Hard To Imagine" or "Release"?
My vote is "Hard To Imagine" and the 2008 tour solidified that in my mind. Listen to the shows it opened last year.

I vote for both.
And since I went to both MSG shows last year, I got my wish
for the least they could possibly do
Seattle Key Arena 9-21-2009
Seattle Key Arena 9-22-2009
Eddie Vedder solo: 2008 - Boston night 1 & 2 || 2009 - Albany, NY night 1 & 2 || 2011 - Hartford, CT, Boston, MA
Both are great though.
I'll ride the wave where it takes me...

1998: Birmingham
2000: Charlotte, Tampa
2003: Tampa, Atlanta, Phoenix
2004: Kissimmee
2008: West Palm Beach, Bonnaroo, Columbia
2010: MSG2
2012: Music Midtown
2014: Memphis
2018: Wrigley 1, Fenway 1
2022: Nashville
2023: Ft. Worth II
HTI is overrated.
If we're not I'll take Oceans since I've never seen it live.
"Free Shipping" SPEEDY MCCREADY
My friend was going to see Eddie last night. Since he was in Vegas, I gave him 5 Grand to gamble with. I told him I wanted it all to go on Black. Bastard! PhillyCrownOfThorns-11-2-12

Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
Couldn't agree more...WPB last summer was amazing!!!
Wash would be my #2...amazing hearing that as the opener
I'd take Release over HTI though if I had a choice (though both are great)
can't go wrong...every show is awesome...can't wait for the chicago shows!!!
While it was a little too up tempo at San Francisco in 2006 ... in Mansfield, 8/29/2000 ... simply beautiful!
I'd rank the other regulars I've heard as such:
Hard to Imagine
Release
Can't Keep
Sometimes
Oceans
Please note, I rank these 1 - 1a, 1b, etc ... as no matter where I am, it's the beginning of a PJ show, so, I'm going to be freakin' ecstatic no matter what.
I didn't put Wash above, as it's played so rarely, but, hearing them kick off Mansfield 2 last year with it was outstanding.
