I have never done a request, but please play all of Dark Matter at every damn show.

Looking forward to the live versions. The production sucks for me. Compression up the wazzu. Watt managed to make the best live band on the planet sound generic. Sounds like Toto…

Then we get the 6 staples at most shows.

That leaves 5 songs to be different each show.

That does not sound like a great idea to me.

Yep. Thats what I want. 50 shows in, and having heard all of the dark matter album, I want to hear each of these songs again, only live. As much as possible.

If they play 22-24 songs, thats about 1/3rd of the show. Its the Dark Matter tour, afterall.

Thats about 1/2 the show...

Also why would you want about 1/2 of the show to be spoiled for you knowing whats being played?

It's not a murder mystery dinner. These are songs I will have never heard before live. That's enough mystery for me.

Vedd Hedd · April 19

Yeah, that first thing I said. All of it.

GM151575 · April 19

Listening through good headphones, this album sounds great to me. 2x

lastexitlondon · April 19

I'm not going with great. It's exciting and new . Which is good

joseph33 · April 19

I sure as hell wouldn't mind if they did. This album has blown my mind.

Force Of Nature · April 19

I really really really hope I get to hear the whole album in my two shows. Would be happy with two full album shows. I think both Stone and now Ed have said something along the lines of new production and playing lots of these this tour right so fingers crossed.

Guys, just open with Scared of Fear and smash through the whole album

Maybe play the whole album over the 2 nights in a city.

Yeah I like this idea. 5 or 6 per night over 2 nights each city.

just_one · April 19

as much as i love the new album please dont.

people are going to multiple shows with the intent of hearing as many songs as possible , even ed and the band is aware there are people "collecting" songs so please now.

that being said im going to 6 shows in europe and hope to get almost the whole album during those 6 shows

Lifted · April 21

I dont have tickets yet, but hoping to make it to one of either NYC, philly or Baltimore. I would be fully on board with this.

1 scared of fear
2 react, respond
3 wreckage
4 dark matter
5 won't tell
6 upper hand
7 waiting for Stevie
8 running
9 something special
10 got to give
11 setting sun
12 go
13 glorified g
14 faithful
15 black
16 why go

Encore
17 footsteps
18 grievance
19 insignificance
20 not for you
21 porch

Encore II

22 red mosquito
23 do the evolution
24 state of love and trust
25 breath
26 sonic reducer
27 ledbetter/little wing

This would be ideal

Disagree especially those of us doing multiple shows.

Part of the fun going to see this band is not knowing what’s going to happen.

Sure if you are doing one show this tour. If you are doing multiple shows that would get old very fast.

Exactly I’m only doing MSG II so I’d be fine with them busting this mother of an album out in its entirety! But I do get your point about multiple shows☝️

Force Of Nature · April 21

I think The Gaslight Anthem did full album shows for 59 Sound anniversary. First half was 59 Sound in full, second half was random (well as random as TGA get which is a bit of a mix up but not near PJ levels)

kmcmanus · April 21

I’m guessing DM & WFS every night, the whole album across both shows per city. For standalone shows (Indy, Missoula, etc) probably 7 or 8 DM songs.

YAKIMATSU · April 21

I LOVE this album. Best since Yield for me.
I do not want Pearl Jam to ever do a show like every other band out there. Play all the new stuff and "hits". Go see any other band anywhere if that's the type of show you want. What makes the Pearl Jam live experience so great is the not knowing. Not knowing when or where or what they will play, because it changes every show. If PJ played nearly identical shows at every venue the live experience would be fine, but not what I have come to expect and love. Give a lucky city the full album, but please not every city.

x2. This is what I would expect from the live Pearl Jam experience that we know and love.

Honestly, there is no weak link. Every damn song on this album, I want to hear live.

I agree!!

I have never done a request, but please play all of Dark Matter at every damn show.
