    I'm excited for the Florida shows. I did those as a change of pace from going to Philly and Boston. Do I expect the Florida shows to be as good as Philly? No. The crowd plays a HUGE role. I'm expecting straight-forward warm-up sets in Florida. Probably 24-27 songs a night.

    I think Columbia could go either way. It just seems like a random place to play, which makes me think we might get one of those weird setlists with a few rarities put in.


    Here's to hoping that Florida will be the first time they play something we haven't heard. Also, a bad show for me is one that is hurried... Is it just me, or does Evenflow sound much worse than the original because of the rushed tempo? Sometimes I wonder if they're just going through the motions... It's like they have to play that song so Mike can do his noodling... That guy needs to slow down a bit... We get it, you're fast. Or maybe they feel pressured to play too many songs because some of you don't see the value in quality over quantity. I'd much rather have 20 songs especially if they mellow the tempo.

    Don't be scared... I know you want to tear me a new one now. I've considered starting a thread on this... it'd be interesting to hear other reasonable opinions...

    Stone should solo more often...

    Yeah, number of songs does not determine a good show. But you are not alone with the fact that a lot of songs are sped up live. Many a thread. I'm not disagreeing with anything you've said.

    Aside from Bonnaroo?

    Are we getting a shitty show? Says who?
    I take some serious offense to that. I think it's going to be a fun filled weekend and Pearl Jam is going to let it rip.
    Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!

    bonnaroo set will clearly be the worst. its gonna be the shortest and its gonna have the weakest setlist. a festival set is never as good as a full show, go to the tapes if you want.

    Lukin is far away from Yellow Ledbetter in terms of times played. My point is to not dismiss Bonnaroo as some kind of jukebox collection of the first three albums. Even when the play Daughter there is no knowing what kind of sick tag they'll insert. How they play them is still more important than what they play, but you still don't know what kind of surprise they'll throw in.

    I just know Camden through MSG will be strong because I will be there.

    I dont even think about the other shows. Hope all goes well for everyone but save the best for those 5.

    You can't just say a "Good" show or a "Bad" show.It also depends on the crowd too.They really get their energy off of the crowd.Better crowd=better show.Thats my 2 cents.

    Thats exactly right. I'd still rather hear Alive with a heavy crowd participation over Undone totally butchered.

    dismissed
    jukebox


    most of the people there ,in the heart of the confederacy, are there to see someone else

    pj did it just for the bank and to sell some of their hits on itunes to those fools


    sorry

    just because you bought tickets to that crap before the rest of the tour was announced doesn't mean the show ain't gonna suck

    I think it was kind of a given that lolla would be more of a greatest hits set. The setting at Lolla lends itself more towards that, and it was kind of a coming back for them, and it was the only show in the U.S. that year. But more-so, I think it was the atmosphere and setting. It certainly seemed to fit well.

    If PJ comes out with a "greatest hits" set @bonnaroo, it will clearly mean that they did NOT pick up on the vibe of the festival and are just coming in/out to headline a festival (which their not even doing now but that's almost a different story, don't get me started on that... ha! )

    I wouldn't expect PJ "rarities", but I would bet on them playing a few of their longer songs and maybe more covers than a "typical" or "greatest hits" set.

    I'll give you Ten, but Vs. is crap now? Thats just crazy talk. A good RVM, Animal, and Go is still a good RVM, Animal, and Go.

    Actually I won't give you Ten. Release and Porch are still special to hear.

    give me a fucking break, those 2 albums have their biggest hits, for every one of you that wants to hear a rarity theres like 100 people who only know those albums in the arena if you dont want to hear those songs dont come to the shows plain and simple
    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;
    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
    else if (work >= 0) {
    reality.equals(false);
    work = work +1;
    }system("pause");
    return 0;}
