that is for sure, even with the list of outside of my top 10 top 10 songs i included, once i saw your list i realized i had forgotten about Long Road and I Got Shit, both would have been on one list or the other. so many fantastic songs

Off the top of my head:

In My Tree
State of Love & Trust
Light Years
Parting Ways
Immortality
Alive
Sad
Nothingman
Corduroy
Given to Fly

Of course this is fluid but any list would include at least some of these.
I should probably do a within the last 10 years list, counting Lost Dogs.

Given the strong overlap in these lists, you would think some of these would get played more. Parting Ways, SoH, and In The Moonlight could fit pretty well into most setlists without offending the noobs.

Yup, and they would also play to the band's current strengths. I cringe when I see Blood on a setlist these days.

but when you are there, Blood is still a fun one to get, i might prefer some of the lesser played or more fitting to Eds voice songs, but im never upset with Blood

and seriously, what the :censored: is the harm of introducing new songs to noobs anyway?

Really...they could take it.

and plus its Pearl Jam, they could play whatever the :censored: they want.

well, actually, I think they do.

maybe they really really really like performing Even Flow and Elderly Woman is all.

1. Alive
2. Corduroy
3. Last Exit
4. Black
5. Porch
6. Yellow Ledbetter
7. Do the Evolution
8. I Am Mine
9. Comatose
10. World Wide Suicide

Really after 3 I couldn't really put these in order. If this was an all time list I'd add Given To Fly, Indifference, Rearview Mirror, SOLAT, Even Flow, Breath, and Satan's Bed, all of which were either a favorite or really damn close at one point or another
