    I will be offended if they don't play one song from Riot Act on this tour. It'd be like they were ashamed of a totally killer album.

    With all the RA talk tonight and the fact that the songs got passed over in Toronto, I thought this thread was deserving of a little revival. As much as I'm loving the new album, surely the boys can squeeze a RA quickie in a setlist or two this tour. Call me sentimental, but what would a show/boot be without a RA song?? Some of you please refrain from answering that :)

    they have nothing to be ashamed of....i think its better than binaraul. songs like save you, lbc, thumbing, i am mine, all or none. they better not start skipping RA. Skip fucking ten. i wouldn't mind a concert from just no code on.

    Yes, it would be. And I'm sure with their always-changing setlists, it'll show up sooner or later. I can respect their excitement over the new songs, but it would be a shame for a song like that to get brushed to the side.

    My thread has resurfaced! Yay!

    Look, I love the avocado, I do; but it seems more commercial, uplifting and non-challenging than Riot Act.

    I like Riot Act because of the darkness of it, the fact it's not such a comfortable listen; it has rough edges which I think the avocado is lacking.

    Riot Act is a great album!
    one of my favourite albums of all time.

    Save You is one of the best rock-songs ever!
    I Am Mine and Thumbing My Way the best songs on the album.

    Don't understand that some people now say, Pearl Jam is good, Riot Act sucked..

    Riot Act is my fave after Yield. I've been dying to see "Cropduster" live as well as "Ghost". The closest I've come to that was the Showbox DVD. C'mon Pearl Jam, lets break out some RA

    Just listened to Avocado (with the new tour I need to know those songs well). Now I'm putting some even more serious musical brilliance on... Riot Act ;)

    Nice to see I Am Mine and You Are show up in the setlist last night. I have yet to see/hear You Are live, so I can only imagine.....

    you can't really *want* to talk about riot act, right?
    take your money and your drugs.

    you want to post that thing (again) so badly it's sick.

    I actually did get quite a few laughs out of your review. After spending the last three and a half years defending this album to just about everyone I know, what else can you really do but have a sense of humor about it.
