Why do we need rarities? Why the hate for this show? I and most others fell in love with alive, black, why go, even flow, Jeremy etc. that's what brings the fans there. Not sweet lew, not don't gimme no lip, not bugs.

Had they played there MORE recently, it may make sense to play rare songs. But after 9 years the people of the city deserve what they do best - be Pearl Jam! Yes they could have thrown in one rare songs. And if your unhappy at a Pearl Jam show where they play their best songs - you've got issues.

I've seen Pearl Jam 28 times and alive probably 26 times. Yes it does get a little stale, but once the solo hits, the crowd screaming Yeah in unison, it's what makes a Pearl Jam show.

Plus it's a festival. Even bonnaroo which is highly acclaimed, still had most big songs. They threw in a few and made it special. But it still was full of alive even flow black release etc.

I'm sick of reading about Pearl Jam having "balls". Your an ungrateful fan and should be happy they are still playing shows. If you think the setlist sucks - go outside and get some air. It's people like you who ruin this board.

If I'm too harsh I'm sorry. I'm sick of feeling like myself and a select few others are the only real fans. Everyone else just bitches and whines and honestly I'm sick of it. Sorry if this is directed at you, but for fucks sake, enjoy the music or move the fuck on. Why do they need to play rare songs at a festival? To lose the crowds interest?

Plus you weren't even at this show and you rip it apart because of the setlist. What about know your rights? Played only 18 times, super sonic only 13 times.. yet that is not good enough? Why not talk about the music? All your posts are full of bitching. Not once do you say anything good about the band.

Also, there are a few people who know me on this board, and know I don't post much because of this issue alone. When I do it's about music or the band or merch. How good the boots sound. What show was best. What song you like. Are you really reading, following the setlists, posting in this thread, because you only want to see the words sweet lew or bugs written in the thread? When you watch a setlist thread it's only words on paper. You can't judge the show on that alone. You have no idea if this show was good or bad.

Anyway

I'm glad they played know your rights and wish list! Love those songs! Nothingman porch crazy Mary and RVM! Looms like it was a great show!

Can't wait for show 29 in Missoula. I'm already on Seattle

And to reply to one more thing - if there were die hards in the crowd, then they should know by now like I do that festivals usually don't produce shows full of rare songs..
