Predictions for the stadium shows...

evenflow82 · July 2018

Will the band go for broke or is 25 songs the new normal regardless of venue?

Will Ed's voice be able to stay strong?

Mostly the hits or some real rarities?

Any special guests?

Overtly political or mostly music and fun times?

That is a certainty, not a prediction. ;-)

9 posters each venue except Montana...they will get 10

DM282158 · July 2018

I think they’ll go all out. More rarities the 2nd nights (like usual). 3 hour shows and maybe the extended openers (5 songs like at Fenway). Not as political as Europe, but a little bit. The divide has gotten hostel here, they may not want to risk it. But who knows - they’ve never been scared of anything like that before

. Shows will be an A+ whatever happens!

Noload · July 2018

Most importantly, no GA lines at Fenway

evenflow82 · July 2018

I predict a safe setlist for Night one Seattle. Mostly the hits with a couple rarities sprinkled in.

Night two will get Vitalogy in all its sloppy glory, the hits and a couple rarities. I am also making (more so wishing) a prediction of a first encore run of songs that commemorate Chris Cornell and some other Seattle icons who have passed away.

-Long Road
-Temple of the Dog song (Hunger Strike or Say Hello to Heaven. Also, changing footsteps to times of trouble isn't that hard if they really wanted to do it).
-River of Deceit
-Come Back
-Man of the Hour
-Light Years
-Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns
-Immortality
-Alive

I predict this for Chicago and Boston since they have already played these venues.

not sure what to expect for Seattle and Missoula.

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!

tschav · July 2018

I would expect, at minimum, similar experiences from the 2016 Chicago/Fenway shows (rarities, a few guest appearances, long sets, great energy).

Things I can see going above and beyond 2016 stadium expectations:
- More political commentary/moments
- World Series stories at Wrigley
- Cornell tribute or some additional guests during RITFW in Seattle (Mudhoney/SubPop show that Saturday)

Let's hear it for reserved floor seating..no list needed and no bathroom break spot holding needed!

CantKeepmedown · July 2018

I would love to see them go for no repeats at Fenway (and Seattle and Chicago too

) But, even with the high number of fan club tix, I imagine they are still assuming there will be a lot of one-show fans and will play Even Flow, Alive, Betterman, Corduroy, ect both nights.

evenflow82 · July 2018

Does PJ even like playing Seattle?

Bump

This makes so much sense! Hoping that I can see Vitalogy (my favorite PJ album) in all it's sloppy glory at Wrigley 2, but I guess Seattle would make more sense...

I heard from a guy that works concessions that there's going to be Pearl Jam Home/Away Shows branded hot dogs because you're gonna need something to eat while you drink the Pearl Jam branded bourbon, wine and beer. Stone apparently collaborated with Nathan's on an artisan hot dog recipe. Don't worry there's gonna be a vegan option too made by Impossible Brands.

Nah, I'm just a shill for the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council. Part of our 4th of July marketing push. Looking forward to Boston!

FactoryMan93 · July 2018

I am not sure if anybody has realised this, but Alice in Chains and Jack White will both be in the Seattle area the week of the home shows.

Without Chris, any guests at a PJ show to me are a complete downgrade, unless its the rest of Sound Garden for one of their songs. Preferably My Wave with Eddie.

Jack has shows the 8th, 9th, and 11th in different states.

Jack's show is on the 13th and I know because I'm going, and AIC aren't going to be here until the 25th. I'll be at that show, too.

Hobbes · July 2018

If I can be in Seattle on the 10th for PJ and make it to JW's show in Portland on the 11th, then so can Jack. Hell, I'd even offer him a ride, if he so desired.

iwasatpj20 · July 2018

Tremor Christ, Hard to Imagine, Oceans, Once, Garden, Fatal, Light Years, Immortality (tribute to price paid for Andy Wood, Kurt Cobain, Layne Staley, and Chris Cornell) in Seattle

Didn't Fenway 1 have more rarities then Fenway 2? The first encore had that "tribe" song and then into Society. And also the first time we heard a cover of Draw the Line. Although we did get a better version again within 48 hours.

I can't wait for the Fenway shows!

on2legs · July 2018

Fenway 1 had that kick ass version of Patriot. I loved Fenway 2 but I wish we got that one.

Lerxst1992 · July 2018

Some guitar, a little drums.

PJWGIII · July 2018

Just thought of this:
ACOUSTIC SET "THE EXPERIMENT" STYLE BEFORE SEATTLE 2 OR MISSOULA??

mcgruff10 · July 2018

Wrigley 2: all i want to hear is Against the 70's. I've been chasing this one since '96. After 57 shows I'd like to finally here it live.

Predictions for the stadium shows...
