Sorry, K. As much as I love this band. I just have zero desire to plow through a billion different live versions of songs. Especially when I prefer the vast majority of them as studio tracks. The whole thing just sorta bores me. But please by all means, have at it. So many others would LOVE to participate. And good on them.

I agree.

How about ten mini tournaments of each album plus their bsides and outtakes. Then we take each ten winners, ignore Backspacer and Lightning Bolt and have a final eight.

Or just forget the whole mess and vote on the final four being Last Exit, BoJ, In My Tree and Nothing As It Seems.

[stip]

we could do that and take the top 2 finishers from each album, 4 non album tracks, and last years final 8. that could work

Actually, I kinda like that.

Also synch the timing of the tournament so that the winner is decided the day before the Rock and Roll HOF induction (April 7). Then we can all bitch and moan the next day when Pearl Jam fails to play any of the RM final 16 in their induction songs.

This is a very good idea.

how about a march madness of all of PJ's worst live flubs

[96583UP]

or a march madness of all of PJ's covers. there are definitely 64 by this point

[96583UP]

i nominate this for either approach

Spoiler: show

I also wouldn't hate taking covers completely out of this.

Or doing a separate covers tournament with only the final four (or possibly elite 8) advancing into the full March Madness tournament.

I like the covers pre-tournament idea.

NO COVERS!

NO COVERS!

Hey, I'm with you, friend. But if we gotta have 'em, we should weed out the best handful for the big tournament.

[stip]

studio covers only. It's just like 10 songs.

Is Devil Doll not a studio track?

Is Devil Doll not a studio track?

I think it's a soundcheck recording.

And it's not Pearl Jam, it's X with Ed.
