    Looks fun but does given to fly, corduroy and small town have to be played every single night?

    These are easily the most boring PJ songs. IMO
    Corduroy should be played every night and sometimes twice.

    Not everyone who goes to a show is a die hard fan boy. I know it’s hard to believe but there are fans that see Pearl Jam once in a great while and like to hear the songs that are fan friendly.
    I am a die hard fan boy and I LOVE hearing these songs.  They are interactive and the crowd has a role in each one of them ("yeah fuckers", "Hello!" and "The waiting drove me mad") and they are just great tunes that for me never get old.   Corduroy as an opener at MSG2 in '16 might be the best fucking opener I have ever seen!

    Woke up early this morning and some other random thoughts 

    All night Eddie was clinching at his stomach. He struggled to push through the night but thankful that he did and hope he wakes up feeling better today.

    I like Josh a lot but wish Eddie sang more of Purple Rain. The 1 minute or so that we got was amazing I thought he killed it. 

    A couple of the stories Ed told were pretty funny. The intro to Deep and the one where women should just stop having sex had me chuckling out loud.  Both were serious subjects but told in a way only Eddie can tell. 

    Quick Escape is the song that will likely last from Gigaton. Start to finish what a live song that is.

    I have heard Don’t Give Me No Lip twice now. I was a mile away at Wrigley but being so close this time you could tell Stone had a lot of fun with it and he sounded great. After the song he just kept saying wow.

    The reaction Dave had when Eddie walked up to him and told him Deep was next was pretty cool to see. It was a oh fuck no moment then a fuck it let’s do this reaction and he nailed it. I need to watch a vid but waking up this morning that ending to Deep was the first thing I thought of concert wise and it was all because of Dave nailing it especially the end. 

    Dave looked like he was genuinely having fun out there and very grateful to be in the moment 

    Also a small story about my family. My wife sent me a video of my two boys singing Small Town yesterday right before the show. I loved that they opened with it made me get emotional a bit during the I just want to scream hello verse which my boys always love belting out loudly.

    To each their own. So many missed songs

    Animal
    Save you
    Grievance
    STBC
    Get Right
    Last Exit
    Red Mosquito
    Green Disease
    Insignificance
    Johnny Guitar

    That's just a few that rarely get played. I can go on...

    Keep enjoying the boring songs and they'll keep playing them!

    There was nothing boring about last night. Dave playing 9 songs from Ten was incredible to watch.

    You mean MSG2 2010, right?  I agree, that was incredible.

    I would have loved to have been there. Just mean setlists seem on the safe side. Not meant for people who want to catch more than one show.

    @PJNB Glad you had a great night, great pics. Looks like you had a good spot in the pit!  Are you going to the last two shows of the leg?

    Hey man! I am doing the last two as well. Hopefully Matt can get back to do at least one of them. I am still smiling about last night. I think Dave K had a lot of fun and super glad he got this opportunity to do this with the band 30 years later

    I am not gonna tag or quote the person, but for someone to come here after that freaking show and complain.... ridiculous. I can't believe any fan of this band would be unable to recognize the special event that took place last night.
    words seem so out of place.

    I don't think you understand the amount of rehearsal time that goes into a band that's been together 30 years for a tour. Now, add to that two or three guys that have NEVER PLAYED THOSE SONGS TO 15,000 PEOPLE LIVE, and you get what you have the last few nights; "safe songs" with a lot of epic moments thrown in. 

    Most bands would have cancelled these shows. Pearl Jam showed the fuck up and made it extra special for the fans. You can't ask for a better band than that. 
    Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer
