Hmm ... that's 31 songs. Doesn't seem THAT long to me ... wasn't LA4 31 songs? Does Bruce have fairly long songs on average compared to PJ?

I was at the spectrum for 3 of the 4 Springsteen shows. Kitty's Back was almost 15 minutes. PJ does have big shoes to fill...I hope EV was there to witness the last show. Crowd was amazing.

Maybe Bruce will come out for the encores on 10-31 and blast through a few songs with the band, that will help top that setlist

If PJ has a set similar to LA 4 that might top bruce

he will be at MSG on 10/29, then doesn't play until 11/2 (in DC)...so it's conceivable that this could happen

15 minutes of Kitty's Back

That is incredible. I have seen Bruce 10 times and he never disappoints but these set lists are something to behold.

three and a half hours of Springsteen is my idea of torture.

TouringFan2000 · October 2009

well, i've loved the boss since the mid 70s. but i gotta say that for the last 10 years or so, his 3-hour shows include about 40 minutes of one-note guitar strums, one-word shouts that go on for a couple of minutes, and him running the length of the stage slapping hands but not singing at all. i'm NOT putting him down ... i'm just sayin' ...

show length seems like an arbitrary measure of how great a show is. the philly set list says more about the show's quality.

Does it really even matter if they top Bruce. NO.

If Pearl Jam plays for 5 minutes or 5 hours, I don't care, I'm just grateful I'm seeing them.

uh, yes you would care if they only did one or two songs in a PJ concert. Don´t exagerate :!:

Springsteen blows...with that said, PJ will never top this performance in the sense of setlist or length of show...they don't give a shit about such things...though I would love them to prove me wrong....a little too lazy for this kind of effort...and, no, I am not kidding....

i'd rather go see bruce then pj if they were both playing in the same city on the same night. i don't see pearl jam touring the world 6 years straight like bruce does. pj can't even sell out an arena in Florida let alone actually play the south,

. it's one thing if you hate em but don't say idiotic shit and make yourself look really stupid.

If I paid $70 to see Pearl Jam and they played 5 minutes... I'D BE PRETTY FUCKING PISSED OFF! So would you. To quote Joe Wilson, "YOU LIE."

You know, I think everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I couldn't disagree with you more. Check out the setlist. I don't see ANY filler there...

How anyone... and I mean ANYONE who loves rock music today can be so disrespectful of someone who has contributed so much and influenced so many is beyond me. So his music's not your taste - that's fine. But you have to respect him and what he's produced and what he's accomplished. You have to, because he inspired people - Eddie Vedder, amongst countless others - to pick up a guitar and start writing and recording.

If you can't see that, you're just plain ignorant.
