    Wouldn't be surprised to see Something Special with the clean sweep.  It's a better song, and I think most would agree.  It's on the incredible new Dark Matter album.  It's an original Pearl Jam song and Last Kiss is a cover.  I say let's officially replace Last Kiss with Something Special on all setlists going forward.  This is the way.

    Agreed it’s a better (and more meaningful) song. I’m biased in that I’m good with never hearing Last Kiss by anyone again. I’ll admit, Something Special has taken sometime to connect with, but I like it more and more. 

    Thought it might be a nice poll for conversation.

    "Something Special" is so much more interesting musically and lyrically, and it has only ever been played once. This is a no-brainer.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    Something Special 100%. No choice here. I don’t ever need to hear Last Kiss again in any setting.

    Ask me again after the tour and I hear Something Special at all 9 of my shows.

    When he introduced it Saturday, Ed specifically said they won't be playing it every night, but he had to play it that night because one of his daughters had come up from Seattle for the show.

    Probably rather hear 3 minutes of fart noises than either one of those.

    There is a version of Last Kiss from one of the Japan Shows in 2003. Eddie does it solo, and I find that version quite nice.

    Although Something Special is damn good, I love Last Kiss.
    Such a great song for Pearl Jam to play.

    Not interested in either, but I think Last Kiss is a better song.

    I've seen Last Kiss twice. That's plenty for me. Zero would be plenty for me, but I can't change that.

    Something Special once to help me complete Dark Matter on my stats - but then Last Kiss for the rest of these shows.

    Last Kiss is a great tune.  There is a reason it blew up on the radio

    I don't usually want to hear cover songs over PJ originals, but in this instance I'll make an exception.
