Cropduster (love the lyrics & sounds just as good live as on CD).Thumbing My Way (one of their best slow songs, which they rarely play live).Light Years (my favorite song on this album….no close 2 nd).Brain of J (I love when they start off a CD with an explosive song and it’s just as good live as on CD).Habit (probably prefer studio version, but the crushing guitars sound just as good live).I Got ID (sounds much better live & one of my favorite PJ songs).Immortality (knowing what this song is about makes me appreciate it more).
This is what I would like to hear (and see) them play (by album) if I could choose the set list: Both became highly unpredictable with their set lists in the 2000s, which is what I always wanted as a fan who will go to see my favorite bands multiple times. Along with Metallica, they are probably my favorite live band. To me that was as much of a surprise as “Whip It.” Like any band that has an extensive catalog, I definitely prefer some songs over others.
Although I’ve seen Bruce Springsteen play some 165-minute shows in New Jersey, Pearl Jam played 200 minutes that final night at the Spectrum and nearly three hours the last time I saw them (Barclays Center in Brooklyn, October 2013, 2 nd night).Īnother major surprise was when I saw them play “Ain’t Talkin Bout Love” in Hartford back in May 2010. The final night was Halloween and for one of the encores, they came out dressed as Devo and played “Whip It.” That was also the first time I saw them play “Crown of Thorns.” The Halloween show was the longest I’ve ever seen.
I saw the last two shows they played at the Philadelphia Spectrum (part of their four-night stand to close out the legendary venue). Pearl Jam are known for their varying setlists, but the shows I saw between 20 had the most surprises.
