Red Mosquito

And which will die abrupt fixer-like live deaths?


Survive:

MYM
LB
Getaway

Drop in regularity:
Sirens
Future Days
Infallible

Deaths:

My Fathers Son (rip, dont cry for me, im already dead)
Getaway
Infallible
Pendulum
LTRP
Future Days
Yellow Moon
Swallowed Whole
SBM

Survive:
LB
MM
Sirens

They will regularly play:

MYM
LB
Swallowed Whole (they know when a songs sounds great live)

They will somewhat rarely play:
Sirens
Getaway
LTRP
Infallible
Yellow Moon
Pendulum

They will almost never play:
My Father's Son
Future Days
Sleeping by Myself

Given the path of Save You, this is so hard to predict. I'll say Pendulum and Sirens will get the most plays in the post-2014 setlists.

I like the chances of MYM, Sirens, Pendulum, L-bolt, and Yellow Moon

I think Sirens and Lightning Bolt pretty regularly, and MYM has a chance to be pretty regular too. If they keep doing the acoustic set then Yellow Moon or Future Days could get regular plays.

Best thing about moving to a longer set is they'll cover their albums more evenly once the new album cycle is done.

I haven't been paying attention can he pull of MYM live?

No way the drop Sirens. I think the band masturbates to that each night.

It's pretty tough for a latter-day pj song to stick around as a regular, though.

Off backspacer, it's got some and unthought known.
Off avocado, riot act, and binaural, there's nothing that's played very regularly!

So if history's a guide only a couple of songs will survive. Although with this album we could see 3 or 4, I agree.

I haven't seen or heard a decent quality version of this live yet, but it makes me happy that the consensus seems to be that it's great live. This is the first Pearl Jam song I've been excited about in ten years.

MYM, LB, Sirens and maybe Pendulum. The rest will get random love. It's a shame as Infallible, YMand SW are good tracks. Getaway and MFS needed more rehearsal time.

Regulars:
MYM
Sirens
Lightning Bolt

Occasional:
Let the Records Play
Yellow Moon
Future Days
Swallowed Whole
Pendulum
Infallible

Say Bye Bye:
Getaway
My Father's Son
Sleeping By Myself

I honestly don't expect Sirens will be played much beyond this tour, Mike and Ed's mid-song guitar changes seem like a huge pain in the arse (just ask Ricky Ramone).

Lightning Bolt is the only song I feel fairly sure will be an every-night regular going forwards.

I can imagine Swallowed Whole, Let the Records Play, Yellow Moon, Sleeping by Myself and Future Days will appear a few times each on future tours. They're all in standard tuning, so they can be slotted in virtually anywhere, and they're all fairly straight-forward for the band and not too demanding on Ed vocally. Pendulum has only been played as an opener so I wouldn't be surprised to see that one fall away significantly after this run of shows is done; it'll probably be wheeled out on a similar frequency to something like Of the Girl.

Mind Your Manners will largely disappear, it's too hard for Ed to sing. The already-detuned songs such as Getaway, Infallible and My Father's Son will probably suffer the same fate as Got Some or The Fixer. Outside of a tour when the songs are brand new, the band don't (generally) throw a detuned song between songs that are played in regular tuning; again, I imagine the guitar changes are too much of a hassle. It might happen from time to time if someone in the band really wants to play a song but not often.

RIP Lightning Bolt


RIP PJ


strat

I think Sirens (and the nightly masturbation) will be the only one that holds on long term, and a handful of other tracks may pop up from time to time.

Lightning Bolt is honestly the only one I think. Eddie cant sing MYM and Getaway. Pendulum is too good to last, Yellow Moon might get played time to time, and the rest they havent been playing all that much on this tour.

Shouldn't this be in the Live forum?

yeah, probably

Will weirdly never go away

Infallible
Future days
Pendulum
MYM

Might show up bit don't bank on it
Sirens


Dead and forgotten
Everything else

I don't know, they played a fuck ton of Backspacer in Atlanta last year. That was my first show since 2008, and I'm pretty sure I've heard more than half the album live.
