    I'm more surprised at the lack of Got to Give. I've Got to Hear that live.
    To me it sounds like the band and Ed struggled throughout some parts of the song.  I've accepted I'll never get it live (preventing me from completing DM) but fortunately it's my least favorite on the album (still like it though!).

    This is going to sound ridiculous but Setting Sun has become one of my 10-15 favorite PJ songs of all time and it’s 50% of the reason I’ve decided to go to Ohana last minute. Got it at all 3 shows in May and it was amazing all 3 times. Got it twice out of 6 shows on the fall leg, none the last 4 shows I did. Craving it along with Got To Give. I thought GTG sounded great on the Van 2 bootleg. Eddie crushed that high note but definitely a few little mishaps on the outro….but can’t tell me they can’t figure it out they fucking wrote it lol

    It's not ridiculous for members of the Pearl Jam fan club to love Pearl Jam. It's a great song off a great album. Why shouldn't it be one of your favorites?
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    I thought Setting Sun and Upper Hand were the two songs that absolutely sounded and felt like classics when hearing them live.

    I think i will appreciate this one when it's a 1 in 5 show closer type song to end the gig. It sounds great but if it's not last it's a weird placement in the middle of the encore. In fact it's a downright buzz kill in the middle of the encore.

    Today was my first date with my ex. 5 years ago. I wish I could stop thinking about her, wish I wasn't so sad still. It sucks. Nothing I can do about it. I accepted the fact that she wasn't coming back a couple of years ago, but it still sucks.

    This song is NOT helping lolol, but I can't stop listening to it.
    May your days be long, til kingdom come.

    Not ridiculous at all, at least to me. It's currently battling Amongst The Waves for the top spot on my all-time list, and it's currently winning.

    yeah GTG isn't getting played but it isn't because it's "hard to play" or sing, etc. A god damn mystery.

    I really thought we would get it at Ohana and I never thought we wouldn't hear Setting Sun

    We would have got SS Ohana N2 if not for the rant about Trump’s watches and also Ed wasting a few minutes telling the fan who wanted to play drums that it wasn’t happening.

    I'm sorry Ed hurt your feelings. It's never easy to hear that your orange hero is a gigantic piece of shit.

    Pleasant surprise:

    Went to my local Starbucks after seeing "Joker: Folie à Deux" (which was EXCELLENT BTW, another pleasant surprise) and "Setting Sun" was playing in the store.

    I was shocked lol. Thought maybe my phone was hooked up to the store's Bluetooth somehow.

    I'm friendly with all of the baristas there, so I asked them who was controlling the music. They said it's a playlist that Starbucks generates.

    I then proceeded to tell all of them (late-20s at the most) to listen to the song later when it wasn't so busy, and that even though it was mind-numbingly sad it was also maybe my favorite/Pearl Jam's best song. They all laughed lol.
    May your days be long, til kingdom come.

    It's a hopeful song! "We can become one last setting sun OR BE THE SUN AT THE BREAK OF DAWN... let us not fade."

    Love the close ups of Stone's guitar work. We don't get enough of that. No wonder the second half of this song (my favorite part of the whole album from day one) just sounds like pure classic PJ.
    Each member of PJ, when featured, is the best member of the band at that moment. Each is SO integral to the whole. Just love these guys so much!

    Disappointed to not see this at Philly or Baltimore. To me it’s modern day Indifference. 

    I was pretty shocked they didn't play it. 3 shows straight & no Setting Sun? :o
    I know. I finally got it again at Fenway1


    Thank god we saw it played live in Seattle. Still surprised they didn't play it in Philly or Baltimore.
