Which songs will survive live from Lightning Bolt?

I think Mind Your Manners will be considered one of Pearl Jam's greatest up there with Hail, Hail and Rearview Mirror rankings. I would bet that one will show up consistently on future set lists. I have a feeling Swallowed Whole will find a good spot from now on too because that one kinda reminds me of Corduroy. And I think Getaway is as god as Got Some, Animal, Severed Hand, and most of the rockers but I never heard it live and I think I remember reading on here that it doesn't translate well to a live performance. Is that true about Getaway?
I have a feeling Lightning Bolt, Sirens, and Pendulum might not show up so much after the next album comes out.
There's my two cents.I found my place......and it's alright0 -
Listen to this version from Amsterdam. I think it works, but always "sad" when Eddie reads off lyrics of the floor:otter said:I think Mind Your Manners will be considered one of Pearl Jam's greatest up there with Hail, Hail and Rearview Mirror rankings.

Sirens is a Just Breathe-esque hit. I'll think it will stick but not at every show. Lightning Bolt and MYM will stick around. Pendulum will be gone."Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0 -
Getaway seems like it's being played at the right speed and in the right key. The version that I heard in PHX sounded really different.
MYM, LB, and Sirens are the new staples and are here for the duration.
My opinion, Yellow Moon and Future Days will find their way into many first encores.
I really like Infallible, as well.

I think Pendulum will be one of the regular opening songs...got a mind full of questions and a teacher in my soul...0

Pendulum, MYM, Sirens, Lightning Bolt, Future Days and Infallible are the ones you can expect every 2 or 3 shows IMO for future tours0

I think lb will be on the same page as corduroy. Same kind of feel to both songs.
Mym, yellow moon, lb and sirens will be regulars in the future.I'll ride the wave where it takes me......0 -
I think getaway has got better the more they play it.0

That Getaway was great but looks like it's one of those songs that kills Ed's throat.I found my place......and it's alright0

My personal opinion ranking the likelihood of each song sticking around heading into the future:
1) Lightning Bolt - 100% will stick. It is to LB what Unthought Known is to Backspacer, which has turned into that album's most-played song and still an energized crowd favorite.
2) MYM - tons of fun every time, lots of energy, great for an early set crowd pumper
3) Sirens - If LB is this album's Unthought Known, this is its Just Breathe. So I think we'll see it every third to sixth show.
4) Pendulum - I think it'll continue to open shows, just not nearly as often. It'll probably be as common as Long Road, Of the Girl, Wash, etc. as an opener.
5) Let the Records Play - I see them continuing to pair it with STBC every so often moving forward, but obviously not as much as this past year.
6) Yellow Moon - will become a much sought-after gem similar to Binaural tracks like NAIS, Parting Ways.
7) Future Days - future rare encore song
8) Getaway - Great song on record that's so-so live
9) Swallowed Whole - one of my favorites from the LP that I believe gets largely overlooked among the fanbase, but seems to be missing something live. The arrangement just might be tough to deliver in that setting.
10) My Father's Son - they obviously aren't huge fans of playing this one, and it's a bit too weird to stick around as a regular. Will end up being a cool rarity to catch once every 10-20 shows.
11) Infallible - Great song, in my opinion, but just rough vocally live, and Ed's voice isn't likely going to improve moving forward.
12) SBM - No explanation neededI am lost, I'm no guide, but I'm by your side.
I am right by your side.0 -
lightning bolt will get played a lot, they seem to really enjoy playing it
was sad to miss out on infalliable and getaway in Europe
but tbh lightning bolt wasn't heavily represented at all0 -
Yes lightning bolt was played at just about every show, so no doubt it stays.
I agree with whoever said its like backspacers unthought known
Bang on my friend0 -
I think Lightning Bolt will actually find its way into regular rotation; it is a great live song. MYM is another I think that will show up often in future tours.
I really like Getaway and heard it live twice. The first time I heard it in Seattle I didn't think it sounded so great live, but I remember it sounding a lot better in Trieste this year. I hope they find a way to get this on to more setlist.NYPJ0 -
Lightning Bolt and Mind Your Manners are both far superior to The Fixer, so I hope they stick around. I think Pendulum enters the ranks of semi-regular openers. Doubt you will see too many shows where Sirens, Yellow Moon and Future Days are all played. I think all three become here and there songs. As for the rest, maybe a few plays each tour but it won't be surprising if some don't appear quite as often.___________________________________________

sirens and lighting bolt for sure"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".

Like others have already said, Lightning Bolt, MYM and Sirens will be set list regulars for sure on future tours. Any song that encourages a crowd sing-a-long will always be a staple in PJ's set. Personally I really love Yellow Moon live as well and would love nothing more than to see a NAIS -> Yellow Moon one day.

I agree with most. I think LB and MYM will be played most often. Things like Yellow Moon, Swallowed Whole and Sirens will be moderately played kinda like In Hiding is. The rest will likely show up once per tour.
I know I'm a minority here, but I like their take on SBM. It has grown on me, I guess because I gave it a chance. I wish it was played more often.. For me it reminds me of something from Zeppelin III..0 -
Another interesting point is which songs will be rarity? I think it is fair to say Force of Nature from B/S and Inside Job from S/T are rarities now.What's your part, who you are?

2013: Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires

I tend to agree with this post...and I'm thinking that Yellow Moon may become the rarity song from Lightning Bolt!cp3iverson said:Pendulum, MYM, Sirens, Lightning Bolt, Future Days and Infallible are the ones you can expect every 2 or 3 shows IMO for future tours

Was strange how as the tour went on they didn't play much of the album. If you only attended the last 2 shows you'd have got just Pendulum, MYM, Lightning Bolt and Sirens all twice and Let The Records Play and Yellow Moon once. Compare that to the first 2 shows in Amsterdam and they played everything but Infallible, Yellow Moon and Future Days.pdalowsky said:lightning bolt will get played a lot, they seem to really enjoy playing it

I expected Yellow Moon and Future Days to get played alot more.
Back on topic, I think Lightning Bolt is already a staple in the set. Sirens will probably stick around. The rest I'm not sure. Swallowed Whole and My Fathers Son are hardly getting played already.
And Getaway in Amsterdam was awesome!

I think the only one that actually sounds good live is "Lightning Bolt". The rest just don't sound right. I've always felt that most Pearl Jam songs sound better live. Lightning Bolt is the first album where I feel like the album sounds better. A million times better.0
