The standards

Post by E.H. Ruddock »

What are some PJ standards you like to see on setlists? Ones you don't? Discuss.

Off the top if my head I like; Go, Porch, Animal, Alive, RVM, Corduroy, and a newer one that gets a lot of play, Save You.

Don't like; Evenflow, Why Go, Daughter.

Not that I don't like those songs, just not always in a setlist.

I love a Red Mosquito in a setlist.

I'm really tired of "Elderly Woman," "Better Man," and "Why Go." But honestly, when I find myself listening to Pearl Jam lately, I find myself skipping over most of the staples.

RVM is the song I most look forward to, and I'm dissappointed when i get Porch instead.

I like it, its just that in the past that meant no RVM (usually).

I wouldn't say that.

There's many worse.

Are you suggesting Wishlist is currently a staple in their sets? :?:

Anyhow, for me, they can play at every show:
Animal, Do the Evolution, Corduroy, Better Man, Yellow Ledbetter, Given to Fly, Alive

I could do with a little less:
Elderly Woman, Just Breathe, Why Go, Even Flow

Perhaps not every show, but (without looking at stats to confirm) I think it's been played often enough to be considered something of a staple.

Anyway, it's never good.

Re wishlist: I actually wish it was played more often. :) I just checked, I got it 5 times at 18 shows. So that's not too bad.

The thing I was most glad about they abandoned: the Matt Cameron Even Flow drum solo of 2006 :shake:
