The Rocket Man thing she did with Elton John was cool

I typically don't listen to pop artists, but Dua Lipa stood out to me for some reason. Her energy and creativity is refreshing, super talented. I think a lot of Pearl Jam fans have a diverse taste in music, and a great taste too obviously because Pearl Jam is amazing.

I'll throw Lana Del Rey in the ring for super talented contemporary artists. Very moody music too which might appeal to PJ fans

Make that 2

I love great music, unless it's country... can't do it.

Tim Simmons · May 14

Its no Future Nostalgia, but I'm enjoying the new Dua Lipa. I really like what Kevin Parker brought to the table

Is Setting Sun closing every show?

Tim Simmons · May 14

So far, yes.

tbergs · May 14

I want Pearl Jam to play the new music, but not too much of it and not in the same order unless it's the whole album. Also play less hits from Ten and more of that music from Binaural, Riot Act and BS because I hated hearing those songs on previous tours because they killed the mood, but now I want you to play 1 random some from each album every night even if they sound rough. Oh, and also quit closing with that new song, maybe open with it and play DM in reverse order to start the show or something like you did with the out of order Self Titled tracks in Italy in 2006.

YourDirtisMyfood · May 14

Play Lost Dogs start to finish

MikeDigs · May 14

New complaint: the official complaint thread is off topic. Less fun talk, more complaints!

I agree, much less Ten on the 2024 tour. Need room for songs from VS thru ST

Exactly this, I've seen evenflow 2500 times already and it has nothing to do with the amount of shows I go to and everything to do with the band overplaying it.

Just to be clear, my post was sarcastic and not a real complaint I have.

Agree about country but probably because when I was little my gramma would get drunk and make me dance with her. I still get the willies 😂

Crystal! Englishman here, understanding sarcasm is not an issue 😁, and I have seen evenflow maybe 6 times 😁

The 10 pm curfew at the Waldbühne Berlin is getting on my nerves. And even more so that Pearl Jam won't start earlier this year either and will instead be completely surprised that there's a curfew.

The_Giant_Midget · May 14

not really a complaint but think this comment fits best here - pretty funny how the festival setlists which are generally pretty predictable, may be the most varied due to the lack of a screen. it'll most likely be the same songs/covers but at least we won't know the slots they're in.

for the record im very excited for my shows this month but I guess maybe Ohana has some extra juice now

I have a complaint about these stupid flat billed snap back hats for kids..... I'm 48 what kind of dick would I look wondering around like a 14 year old . 10c stop selling rubbish hats. Just the normal cap is fine for people our age. Thank you... Rob

I'm in the same age bracket (turning 47 soon) and agree that flat billed hats are a no-no for middle aged dudes. But here's where my knowledge gets a little dicey... isn't a flat billed hat, just a regular hat that hasn't been curved yet? Or is there something different in the actual design of the bill?

I think you're on to something...Ohana is the white whale shows this year. Going to be crazy!

What the hell? A few days ago FLAC digital download for Van N1 was $17. Today, that and N2 is $24. What the actual fuck?

Mystery Solved: Different currency. I'm using the same computer and yet Sunday it quoted me in USD and today CAD.

Hot water or a steamer, a cup, and some rubber bands. Pretty easy really.

No it's not. The peak is too wide for that. It works with a cap but these wide flat ones not at all

I fucking despise Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish. Horrible.

Have fun! To each their own.
I think their music and personalities suck.

Taylor Swift is one of the most genuinely nice people you could ever meet, but whatever.

Based on what exactly? Greedy, pollutes the planet with her completely unnecessary private jet use, and makes terrible corporate music. What a gem!

"Terrible corporate music": I don't really know what to say to this. It's just so off-base.

Anyway, I say this based on how she treats people. I have seen her when there are no cameras, and she is unfailingly nice and generous. I have seen her meet with young fans and you would think she was more excited to meet the fans than they were to meet her. I am close friends with someone who grew up around her and her family, and have heard only about how consistently kind and thoughtful she is, and about many acts of thoughtfulness and generosity that she engages in without publicity.

If you think that the fact that Taylor Swift, one of the most famous people in the world, with massive security concerns, refrains from flying commercial makes her not a nice person, well, again, I don't really know how to respond to that.
