Happy When I'm Crying is one of the best things Pearl Jam has ever done.

Re: UNPOPULAR PEARL JAM OPINIONS
To this day it's still my most frequently skipped PJ track. I've even listed to Habit more often, though I think Blood is a better song. Mostly because Habit rests better on its respective album than Blood. Also, I keep hoping to one day magically like Habit.numbers wrote:Blood sucks and drags the rest of vs. down.
But I do like hearing Blood in concert.

I love Blood but, for a place they don't regularly play, I'm surprised it's been on the setlist at the previous THREE Adelaide shows.

Re: UNPOPULAR PEARL JAM OPINIONS
Curiously, they seem quite fond of playing Once in Adelaide too (1995, 1998, 2006, 2014) and, as I mentioned recently, pretty shy on including Black. I guess they think Adelaide likes to rock?ridleybradout wrote:How did it go down so early in the set at the last show?Birds in Hell wrote:I love Blood but, for a place they don't regularly play, I'm surprised it's been on the setlist at the previous THREE Adelaide shows.
Blood that early was surprising but it seemed to go down pretty well. In my experience, pretty much any of the harder songs from the first three records get a very enthusiastic reception in Adelaide.

Sires is fucking great
Dave A is overrated and kind of obnoxious on most songs (yet totally awesome on others)
Matt Cameron is an incredible song writer and the best in the band.
