@given2fly23 waiting on your review.

Ha, thanks bud. My GF asked me for my 2-3 highlights and this is what I wrote back…
“Long Road in the middle of the set was beautiful. Dedicated his brother who passed away. The Footsteps-Once-Alive trilogy was awesome because it was actually written here and I think it’s the first time they did it here. In general it was a shorter set and full of hits, but part of me is glad we got it out of our system. Not sure we would’ve enjoyed deep cuts any more than hits last night cuz we were already at max stoke! I teared up and started bouncing as soon as the lights went down. The guy in front of me turned around and goes “you are jacked up!” He didn’t last through half the set.”

Bravo.

This is an awesome picture! Thanks for sharing it. 😍

Also, I think some fans need to take a step back. Pearl Jam gives us their heart and soul at every tour stop and some people just want more, more, more. It’s pretty sad actually. Maybe some of you shouldn’t see as many shows as you do. You sound too spoiled.

Expectations can be a dangerous thing. Lately it feels as though everyone is either a collector or a statistician that’s always worried about the # of songs played, how long they played for and what songs are being played.

I’ve seen this band 44 times from 1992 until now and never once did I leave a show feeling disappointed. And there has been many shows where I didn’t hear a single new song I hadn’t heard before, where it was shorter than usual or I got a lot of repeats from a previous nights show, but that’s bound to happen more often than not if you’re seeing multiple shows every tour.

As long as they keep mixing up the set list and continue to go out & give it their all, that’s all I need. So if a 23 song, 2:45 set is boing, sign me up for boring all day! 😎

Having seen them 20-something times myself, the way I think of it is every show is unique, and it’s not always the set lists that make them so. I guess instead of “collecting” unique songs, I gravitate toward focusing on what makes each show different. For me, the most tangible things in that regard are visual vantage point, acoustics of the venue and spot I’m in, Eddie’s stories, the energy of the crowd, how the band interacts, and more. There are infinite ways each show us unique. If you find certain shows or set lists boring, I guess I just can’t relate to that and I feel bad for those who do.

Of course I get excited to hear certain songs I wanted to hear, or when a show has something “special” just like the next guy. I guess I would just say that those unique qualities are always there; you just have to be observant of them.

I thought the pit had lots of good energy going on?

My watch said “record indoor workout” when Lightning bolt was almost finished

I do think one key here is that all the songs on Ten and all the songs on Gigaton are over 5 mins. And the live versions are all over 6 mins. There are only so many songs that you can play in an hour when they are all over 6 mins long. To be exact for a 2:45 hour show, you can only physically fit 27 six minute songs in. And that is with only a 3 minute break for encores and stories. That's just the reality of the new Gigaton songs. Expect less songs......Because the new songs are longer than the old songs.

Or they have to put Lukin in every set to skew the results.

Ha - Ed may need to pivot between Slow Lukin and the orig. Then again, that would make the Slow Lukin (at MSG2 2010 less rare and folks may get upset... Not me - would donate an organ to see that one again. After reading this thread if it wasn't Mother's Day Weekend I'd be on a plane tomorrow from NY for LAx2. Will just have to wait for Vegas. As I always say, "every show is a gift" guys.

The setlist was already posted when I took my seat around 7:10-7:15. There were no audibles. Every song played in that order.

Heres my guess, knowing the venues curfew is 11. They were planning 8:30-11 but the traffic issue may have asked venue if they could extend by 30 minutes. Traffic probably cleared and they went on at 8:50 and Ed knew he had that 10 minute buffer to tell the stories.

Been to 40+ shows and I had no clue it was only 23 songs. I was thinking they were going to be done at 11 because of the curfew. People who weren’t there complaining makes no sense. With the length of the new songs, sets are going to be 22-26 songs most likely this tour.

DEGBTI · May 2022

I was in the pit, we rocked out hard all night, tons of energy where I was by everyone around us. I lost my voice the next morning. Thank you PJ for making my night. Two years waiting to see the best band in the world only minutes from my home. I'll take it any day, anytime!!

Holy shit, I never knew that existed...totally different song. Thanks! Besides this and 'No Jeremy' are there any other good drastically different live versions of their songs out there?
