Easy to shit on them because of how the last decade has seen them slow down considerably, no doubt. A 'shitty' PJ show is still going to blow away 95 percent of what you see, even great acts.

A friend of mine went to see Cardi B in 2018, she played for 40 minutes and mostly did the first 30 seconds of 25 different songs. $100 for that shit

Saw QotSA (my second favorite band) a while ago and Josh was so wasted they played 14 of the 21 songs on the setlist.

Saw Metallica in 2017, then in 2018 - set was 90 percent the same and cost $150 to sit upstairs

I saw Weezer cram in a medley of their hits. It was SO FUCKING LAME.

I believe that music is the Devil’s language and Pearl Jam is His favorite dialect

Something Special is a much better song than Waiting For Stevie

My disappointment with Gigaton increases all the time. I think Seven O'Clock is maybe the second least enjoyable song in the catalog, barely worsted by Future Days.

I could never hear Leatherman again and be fine. I could go back and time and never have heard Leatherman at all and never miss it.

Ten is near the bottom of my studio preferences, but is the most consistent supplier of highlights in any live setlist.

Matt Cameron has only supplied one song to Pearl Jam's catalog that I'd keep: You Are (and it's mostly for the guitar going through the drum machine). He's absolutely the worst lyric writer and I haven't forgotten Inside Job.

I disagree with Pearl Jam's members on a ton of their political issues (possibly my least popular opinion).

Sometimes I think Binaural-DM is better than Ten-Yield.

I would extend that to 06 to include ST. That tour was pretty special.

Who You Are - In My Tree - Smile - Off He Goes might be my least favorite 4 song run on any PJ album. There’s probably a stretch on Lightning Bolt that I enjoy less but I don’t feel like looking up the track list.
