    I get what you are saying. You need to consider that not everyone is a die hard fan. Big big audiences at stadium shows and festivals.

    that's all well and good but that is like me going to see REM in 2001 and expecting them to play the majority of MURMUR.  people shouldn't expect to hear just the hits from bands that aren't on the Legacy circuit.

    Ten is the album that put them on the map and has the songs that draws the casual fans to the shows.  We as the crazy die hards don't need 5-6 songs from ten but it's what needs to be played to keep the casual fans interested and possibly get them to explore the other albums.

    Yeah. I am going to the shows to hear a representation of their whole catalog. If I wanted to listen the Ten album I would just stay at home and listen to it on vinyl.  album sales shouldn't matter when it comes to the setlist, unless they truly are just wanting to be an oldies act at this point. I hope not.

    Agreed. If you want to hear that, listen to Ten! They’re great songs, but they should be distributed more rarely. Garden and Deep need more plays too among the Ten songs that get played.

    Also, it’s one of the beat and my favorite PJ song ever, but I miss the days when Black wasn’t an almost-every-show song.

    A great crowd takes a show to another level.  Ten is necessary to keep a decent chunk of the crowd engaged.  We are spoiled with Pearl Jam thinking that 6 songs from Ten a night is overload when they change up their set so much. 

  • bootlegger10bootlegger10 Posts: 15,490
    Also...the songs on Ten are better songs than on Riot Act.  They are playing more of the cream of the crop at the shows by playing a lot of Ten songs.  We may be bored of them, but they are better songs.

    It's actually closer to 1/5. I could see the issue if they played around 20 songs for under 2 hours, but with 2.5 hours and 28 songs, pfft, let's not complain about a change of maybe 1 song different. Does playing 4 instead of 5 make that much of a difference? Last tour it was complaints  about covers so they trimmed them down, but now it's about one of the best selling rock albums of all time. Geez, we're annoying fans.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    I suppose you could save some money by not going to shows.  
  • stankratzstankratz Posts: 183
    Some nights they play 5-7 from 10, some nights they only play 2/3. Even on the 5-7 nights, some of those 'Ten' tunes can be rare or special. For example, I got Deep in Berlin last week and Garden in Krakow, Barcelona got Oceans.

    I understand what you're saying OP, but the guys likely have to cater for at least 1/2 of the live audience who are just casual fans and/or fans who mostly only know the Ten tunes. I think us diehard fans are quite lucky that the guys do a good job of keeping the diehards and the casuals happy most nights as it is.

    Take Krakow in Poland for example - A city they had never played before in a country they visit rarely. I imagine that many bands rolling into Krakow in that situation would have given the starved Polish fans a set of mostly hits and would have played it quite safe. Not Pearl Jam though - 'It doesn't matter if we haven't been here for years and won't be back til fuck knows when, we're not playing Black tonight. You're getting Other Side and All or None.'

    I just don't think we'll ever be truly content. Not while following a band with 150+ quality original tunes and we 'only' get to hear around 30 of those songs at a given show. Not even 30 original tunes when you consider the guys like to play a few covers in their set too. Even if you took the 'Ten' tunes out, there's still a good chance that something else will bug you/me about the set. 'Too many covers'...'Not enough Binaural'...'LAST KISS FFS!!'  etc.

    For my mileage, the usage of Ten in the set is just fine. Sure, there are shows I could do with less Why Go, Evenflow and Alive in favour of something else, but I understand why that can't happen.

    I understand/appreciate both sides of this debate. I will always adore this album no matter how many times I hear the songs from it. I do, however, think they could do a better job rotating songs like Even Flow, Porch, and even (one of my favourites) Alive. They play these three songs at almost every show - and play Jeremy and Black at many shows. If it were up to me (and it isn't), these ones could be rotated with each other - especially at venues where they play two nights (e.g., Seattle next month) and then release the deeper cuts from the album.
