    & only 24 songs... a great night for the crowd that prefers fewer songs.  :D

    If they played Binaural or Riot Act, that would probably amount to a deep cuts show to many in attendance.

    So this is Pearl Jam world and here we don't care about stuff that is popular on the radio and played to the point where it gets old or as they say "hits" (who says that in 2022?).  They are all "hits" here (even Sweet Lew).  I always get a little disappointed at first when I hear Alive (until half way through when I realize it is still great)again but when I hear something new live that is always a little exciting.  I got to hear a lot of the new Album at Ohana last year and to know me and 20000 others heard Buckle up played for the 1st time that is just thrilling. Second about touring infrequently either A.) You don't follow the actual band so maybe don't know when they tour.  or B.) Your frame of reference is a cover band or someone with a lot less on their plate.  I have been to a lot of shows and Pearl Jam is the only band I know of that sets aside a large number of tickets for fans.  I did not get any of the ones I requested this year but it was the 1st year that happened.  Still going to 2 shows when I hope to hear anything they would like to play.  At this point I would be thrilled if Eddie just talked about politics for 3 hours.  
    I’d be extremely disappointed if Ed just talked about anything.
    The do tour infrequently compared to 15 or 20 years ago. Excluding Covid delays, it’s still only a mini tour every 3-4 years. Last time I saw them without having to travel was 2014. Last time I saw them at all was 2018 and I have to fly to see them. That’s not frequent touring by any standards. i used to be able to count on 3-4 shows every couple years if I was willing to drive a few hours. Now I hope for 1 or 2 shows every 2 or 3 years if I’m willing to fly.
    To put things in perspective.  This is Pearl Jam’s first tour since 2018 (due to Covid).  There are four shows left on this leg.  It feels like it just started because it just did and already halfway over.

    And Ed played 2 songs pre-show, maybe those should count towards the total?  Very good effort, long time on stage, esp considering the circumstances.
    I've seen quite a few Pearl Jam shows.

    Last night was my son's first PJ show, so songs I normally would not want to hear - certainly not all in the same night - I was absolutely thrilled that they played! "Jeremy," "Daughter," "Better Man," "RITFW," "Baba," "Ledbetter"...it was perfect, my son just started playing guitar the past couple years so we got as close to Mike as possible so he could watch him wail...I loved it.

    But that was last night...my son isn't going tonight, so I want "Riot Act" played in its entirety, "Of The Earth," "Falling Down," eight songs from Gigaton, "Rats," "Satan's Bed," "Speed Of Sound"...that might happen tonight, right?!?

    I wonder if they ever considered splitting the shows when they play two nights in the same venue as an official policy:  night one hits heavy, call it “classic Pearl jam” and night two be more interesting “an experimental night with Pearl Jam” or something.  Maybe even offer more ten club tickets night two and less night one.  I totally get that there’s a place for both types of show. It would help everyone chasing their type of show and their favorite deep cuts to zero in on the best chance of those things happening too.

    I think it is obvious why the hits were out, last night.

    No doubt! That or reschedule the show.  I think the fans got something very unique last night.

    Tough crowd. Probably time to soften you up with a hit!

    Jeremy...that's your cue.

    Most actually. Ten club members are the extreme minority at these shows. Look at all the posts on Porch, it’s pretty much the same hundred people posting 95% of the content

    The same thing has happened on the dmb warehouse boards. Years ago, that place was hopping. Now, it's just the same 20 people arguing with each other all the time. I think that's more a reflection on message boards in general, not the size of a fanbase.

    My brother has been in DMBs fan club since 1995z I love it because we never have seats past Row B and he says he’s always sitting next to the same people at every single show.
