Absolutely loving the shorter sets with no covers. I don’t need to hear crowds carry the last 4 songs bc Ed can’t sing more than 3 words in a row at that point

[bodysnatcher]

what did they said about Krusen?

Introducing a song … said Krusen was in the house and recalled doing 38 takes before getting it right when recording … Even Flow.

Kinda surprised they didn’t have him play it honestly.

Trag I want to agree with you but do they EVER give the guy any credit for anything ever?

It’s like feeding a cat that isn’t yours. Do it once and it’ll never go away.

i hope they keep this up. i just hope they don't keep up the call and response on Corduroy.

[Bammer]

Can confirm: no call & response during Corduroy last night

They said he was a great drummer at the induction ceremony.

Have you seen Dave A post on facebook? Guys is very pathetic.

[E.H. Ruddock]

I’m down with no covers. Maybe they’ll be rehearsing some deep cuts. Maybe this is the year we finally Get Right

[VinylGuy]

they have something going on with Dave A for sure. Dont think they hate him, but they dont want him near or talk bout them.

Still in recent years they mentioned him in the induction ceremony of rrhof and when they did Angel too.

It would be cool to bury that hatchet and let the guy play a song live...ey if GNR did that with Adler why not PJ?

[Birds in Hell]

It’s kinda cool to see parents bringing their kids to a PJ show and some kids are super into it. Not the girl (10?) next to me. She was playing Candy Crush the whole time and I think it really distracted her dad from trying to enjoy the show.

This sounds like a problem with the dad, not the kid.

They seem pretty friendly with everyone who was in the band, except for Abbruzzese.

It makes me wonder whether there really is more to that story, e.g. whether he was a real jerk to the band's management/employees in post-firing communications, etc.

Then again, he seems on great terms with several Pearl Jam adjacent folks: Shawn Smith, the guy who's playing bass with Painted Shield (it's slipping my mind), many of the old Pearl Jam crew members etc.

For a drummer who was in a huge band and still seems to have fans, he really hasn't done much with that recognition. I'm surprised he's not out giving drum clinics, making YouTube videos, angling for gigs as a session drummer on higher profile stuff. Maybe he tried that and couldn't make it happen, or maybe he simply isn't interested in pursuing that kind of career.

I don't know.

[Birds in Hell]

Personally I would be disappointed if I went to a non festival set and they only played 22/23 songs.

Man, I don't feel this way at all.

22 songs is a lot!

I feel like they made a real trap for themselves over the years playing these ridiculously long shows.

[Birds in Hell]

Pretty confident he’s just an unmotivated stoner who’s mostly content to reminisce about the glory days on Facebook. I wish that weren’t the case.

How does he make ends meet?

Are the Pearl Jam royalties still paying the bills?

[Farmer John]

Someone needs to make a new supergroup with Dave A on drums.

[Birds in Hell]

I'll say one thing, he's demonstrated incredible commitment to the long hair/soul patch combo.

Two shows in a row, no covers!

I'm really digging this setlist length, reminds me of the 1998/2000 shows. Very good. Hope they stick around.

I have to disagree. I’ll get killed for this but these short shows sets are a joke. If they are playing 23 songs. With 6-7 songs each night coming from the new album. They are only playing 13 -15 songs across their previous albums including b-sides. It’s not 1998 anymore. It’s the shrinkflation tour.

[AndySlash]

i dunno man, these last five shows (i’m including ohana) have pretty much been all killer, no filler. and no overdone covers! i’m all for these shows the way the’ve been. those marathon shows, and i saw a lot of them, were often times a slog once you got to the back half. these low-to-mid twenty song sets really do feel like the sweet spot for keeping both band and crowd energy up while still giving enough variety for every type of fan to appreciate.
