    I don't know if hardcore PJ fans love these but a lot of "casuals" do: Last Kiss and Sirens.

    I do not.

    I d love to see release close a show instead of the standard staples.
    Just breathe does suck big time but my wife loves it. So when she s happy at a pearl jam show that means I can go to more in the future. :)

    Come Back. I just can't stand it, it doesn't sound like a PJ song to me and it's been removed from my ipod so it can't randomly come on and hurt my ears.

    I like YLB. I think it's not the song itself, it's just the predictability factor. The unpredictability of PJ's setlists is a huge factor, but their closers are the exception. Just a few closers used over and over and over, always in the same spot in the show, which is such a contrast to the rest of each show.... variety is the spice of life. :)

    I think since they've toured Lightning Bolt, the sets have got a bit predictable. They've certainly become more formulaic. You know it's Pendulum to start and then a 'normal' opener followed by another slow/mid tempo song. Then bam! The faster songs start for a bit. Corduroy will be with LB and/or MYM. Even Flow and Sirens are now clubbed together. Ending the main set will be Porch or RVM. A couple of 'camp fire' songs will open first encore. Then a few more faster songs with RVM or Porch or Betterman to close the encore. Then the final songs of the second encore will be Alive, RIFTW and/or YL most of the time with Indifference normally the other closer.

    I'm not complaining - the shows since Fall '13 have been incredible and they have upped the stakes certainly but I do feel there's more of a formula/predictability now.

    Have to disagree somewhat, just because my LB show opened with Oceans, then into Can't Keep, but as far as that formula goes, yeah, generally that's how it goes, but that isn't what I was talking about. I mean the actual songs they play. Sure, of course there are a few staples, but generally PJ's setlists are wildly diverse compared to pretty much every other band in the world. Except for their opener (i know they used Pendulum as an opener a lot for the first half of their LB tour, but they pulled back from that I think and got more retire again).

    I agree.Also I think too many LB songs on any one set list.And enough of the solo Ed stuff also.If there is time for 5-6 LB songs then we should be able to dial it back and get some true classics.

    Well, you've certainly nailed the true clunkers (well, most of them) on your list.

    I believe fans in Buffalo (myself included) had the "pleasure" of getting a record (?) nine LB songs - and that was before the album had been officially released!

    On a new album tour, and i may be in the minority here, i want to hear as much of that new album as possible.
