    I, like many have been pretty lucky. I've gotten all of my White Whales that 16 year old me never thought I would hear (Wash, Sonic Reducer, No Way, Oceans, HTI.)

    29 shows later and now chasing:
    Undone
    Of the Girl

    My girlfriend is at 5 shows and needs Yellow Ledbetter.

    I haven't had a white whale since hearing "Tremor Christ" and "Footsteps" (twice!) in 2013. I would like to hear "Leash," "Around the Bend," "Evacuation," "Army Reserve," "Amongst the Waves," "Speed of Sound," "Force of Nature," "My Father's Son," and "Sleeping by Myself" to complete the studio albums, but none of them are really white whales. I'll be perfectly alright if I never hear "Leash" live. ;)

    The song I haven't heard that I most want to hear is obviously "Dirty Frank."

    Sonic Reducer! The more I never hear it live, the more I want to hear it. Hasn't been played in Vancouver or Seattle arena shows since I start attending shows in '98... They were playing it in Eastern Leg of the 2013 tour, but then it got stuck back in the closet for the Western half of the tour :(

    Heard it in 93. They need to bring it back to heavy rotation.
    Lucky to have heard it 4 times between 09-13
    It's crazy how some people's white whale's are someone else common occurance. Everytime I see someone want crown of thorns, I twinge, because they play it all the time at the Vancouver & Seattle shows :)
    I know that feeling. Recently I told someone my white whale was Hard To Imagine and their response was "it was the first pearl jam song I ever got" haha @Jeremys Spoken
