    Solo acoustic gigs:

    Long Road
    Elderly Woman
    Black
    Throw Your Arms Around Me (I know it isn't a PJ song, but I sure identify it with EV)
    Hide Your Love Away (I don't identify this with EV, but still they have played it)

    With my old band:
    I Got Shit
    Yellow Ledbetter
    Black
    Betterman (w/ Why Can't I Touch it tag)
    Immortality
    And of course,

    Rockin' in the Free World (featuring my best NY impression on the bridge solo, and my lead guitar players, MM tribute on the outro solo \m/)


    Pearl Jam is great. I need a new band.

  • My old band played Not For You, and my curernt band's first song we played together was Even Flow. We tried to play Brain of J but the vocals are just too damn hard to emulate.

    After screwing up with I am mine because I can't sing that low, after realising that I couldn't play guitar and sing on Do the Evolution, we settled for Corduroy. That's a really nice song to play!

    And I'm not counting Rockin in the free world and Fortunate Son as Pearl Jam covers because... well, they're not!

    My bf's band, who do mostly covers, some old obscure stuff too, has added Black to their set lists. My bf is the drummer, but sings for Black, as well as some Stones stuff and Eric Clapton. In my opinion...and I'm glad he doesn't read thse boards, they do it too slow, similar to how Stain'd does it. I hate Stain'd's...LOL, that was weird how to pluralize that...anyway...I hate their version very much. I have heard versions where Pearl Jam does it slow, but I like it when it is a bit faster.
    Its funny cuz most of my bf's band audience aren't what i would think of as Pearl Jam fans, or even know Pearl Jam songs, except the ones that got overplayed on the radio, but old people will slow dance to Black everytime!!

    I am betting the band wiill slowly add more PJ songs as we are really turning the rest of the band members onto PJ. We even took them, at our expense, to the concert in 2003 at Pine Knob, (DTE for those who don't know the old name). They loved it and have been buying PJ music ever since.
    Now, I have written some songs for them to do as originals. They seem to practice them and like them, yet I haven't heard them in public yet. I beg them to just let me hear one of my songs publically so I can get the audience reaction. I worked hard with the lead guitarist to get it all right and we came out with two great songs so far. I want to hear them, dammit, live. I have them on tape and my kids, who don't know its my song, have listened to this tape a lot and I will catch them sometimes just singing it as they are going about the day. So, they are young and know ggod music. This one has got into their heads enough to make them just thoughtlessly sing it. It must be good.
    But, our bass player is a dick and won't get involved enough to add his part to the thing to finish it off.
    Save room for dessert!

    i used to play elderly woman and wishlist once in a while. those were solo acoustic things though.

    i did a solo acoustic performance of Elderly Woman at a bar once. everyone in the bar was singing along - loudly. it was really cool. plus, it drowned out my no-where-near-eddie-soundng voice. :)
  • We've never played a Pearl Jam song because I'm the only PJ fan and "grunge" fan except maybe for Nirvana which everyone in the band appreciates atleast a little.

    We have the two guitars so its ok, but I think we should fire one of them, he sucks and lives far away. Also he hates jammin' and is never ready/concentrated or focused.

    A couple of shows I got a female singing 'Footsteps'...it sounded really nice. Even better when you hear cheers from the PJ fans in the audience who weren't expecting it :D

  • My band has played a couple Pearl Jam tunes. It went over pretty good, so we're planning on maybe doing a handful more.

    :D
  • One band i was in played "I Am Mine", "Breath", "Do the Evolution", and i don't know if it counts, but we did the Temple of the Dog song "Hungerstrike".
