I hope everyone appreciates how this thread is filled with disdain for them playing new songs and also having a lack of variety. 

Not disdain….but people spend a lot of money to travel to see the band.  I’m sure some people would think twice if they knew that suddenly the sets were going to be 10 songs shorter and have the same 6-8 songs each night.  Just a dramatic sudden switch from previous tours

But then maybe don’t travel to see them. I say this and I’m going to drive 2hrs to Ottawa on Saturday but it’s with the right expectations.  That’s all. 

I’m traveling 6 hours to MSG as well.  And I still would have knowing all of this.  But tickets were sold before any shows were played so it’s kind of hard to say don’t travel to those who already bought tickets and made plans. I do think this will impact many fans plans going forward.

As an Australian fan, I'd be happy with any set they choose to play down here, it's been 8 years since the greatest band in the world have visited our shores, and that wasn't even a stadium show!!! 

I am jealous with the amount of shows the fans in Europe and North America get to see.

Re: ‘These sets aren’t long enough and they don’t have enough variety’

when this complaint was ceaseless in Europe, I searched setlist.fm for 2 comparable bands (Metallica and Foo Fighters). Metallica plays the same18-22 songs, 90% in the same order every night. Foos did 60 different songs over 92 shows last year. Just in Europe THIS SUMMER … PJ did 94 different songs in 14 shows.

Very well put! They just feel like a regular, typical band now ala FF and Metalica, not the ever-so-special Pearl Jam that played longer than any other band, had variety more than any other band, and were more spontaneous than any other band with what they would play, and now they are just like every other band, doing the normal sets each night, playing it safe. 

Good point, indeed!

I’ve been on this board for almost 3 decades … as you can see up above … 1st post ever. Why now? We’ll, few seem to have context or sense  in this day. 

Re: ‘porch is closing the main set too much’ 

Have you ever asked why? What is THE ‘Porch’ performance that even non-PJ fans know? What was inked on a forearm during that performance? What is no longer available that was during that performance? Good grief, diehards, this is a message they are sending  just as when they stopped playing ‘Alive’ in ‘00.

 They treat their crew well, they donate proceeds from every show, and they can coast through their glory years. Enjoy the greatness, the songs, the talent, and the care. 

You’re going to get 22-24 songs a show on this leg. If you can’t appreciate nor enjoy it, donate the ticket to your favorite charity and make a persons’ day.

I spoke too soon, great song and closer if it is.

They did not play your favorite RITFW.  I bet you are bummed.

Sad was scratched. That makes me sad for those in attendance.

My number 1 song to hear live. How I wish that would get played in Nashville or St Louis
