I love when American bands do a "North American Tour", with 1-2 Canadian dates...

There are probably fewer Canadian dates because they play Canada and tour Canada all the time. They've played more concerts in Canada the past couple of years than the U.S. Did a 15 city tour of Canada in '05, a 9 city tour in '11, and have played other shows in Canada in-between. They've played Saskatoon more times in the last 10 years (twice) than they've played Dallas (zero, until November that is).

My Pearl Jam Obsessed Girlfriend just happily confirmed what you just said. Fair enough, the Seattle vibe has always been Canaidan in flavour, eh?

Why don't they just throw in the towel and move to Vancouver already? They know they like it here better!

Garbage...we may have somehow given you mayonnaise inadvertently...but you will never...not ever take our jam...
Not to burst your bubble, but thats just kind of Pearl Jam. They do what they want and they don't have to answer to anyone. They are the exact opposite of the Stones or Tom Petty in that they don't feel they need to play ANYTHING every night. Yeah, most likely you'll hear Alive, Better Man, Rearviewmiorror, and Even Flow, but NOTHING is guaranteed from them, even those songs I listed. Its what you have to admire about them and its what many love.Quote

Opening night setlist from last night. Not the most inspiring. 7 new songs. Opening with a slow new song and a bunch of obscure stuff in between.

Totally agree. I saw a really good show in 2010 at the Garden last tour, so I got to cross off a lot of songs I really wanted. Present Tense, Breath, Not For You, Spin The Black Circle, Black, Rearviewmirror, so now my outlook on setlists has been skewed. I love most of their shows just because they can play anything, but I'm now really hoping for Breakerfall, Nothing As It Seems, I Got Id, Off He Goes, State Of Love And Trust, Once, Porch, Animal and Go this tour (too bad I'm only seeing one show and definitely won't get them all). But basically its great there's the ability to hear any of those at any show, and the way their setlists goes is they are ALL good but people have their own specific preferences.Quote

I agree RollingFreak. And while that wouldn't be the setlist I'd choose, I'm not sure what's "uninspired" about it. They didn't come out and play a greatest hits setlist or anything, and it's a pretty decent mixture of rockers and slower material and spanning their career. I do like the Buffalo setlist better, it has more songs that I'd personally pick for a setlist, so it's just taste. Like: Immortality, Go, Once, Off He Goes, Low Light, Present Tense, I Got Shit, State Of Love And Trust, Indifference, etc.
Just glad Ole hasn't been in the setlists so far.

Jeez..I dunno, Fred. When Springsteen does stuff like that guys like you and I are doing cartwheels over it.
If the Stones did it, I'd probably die of shock.

Hi Gazza - Didn't Keith once or more say that a concert must start with a kick ass rocker?

I saw Worcester #1 Tuesday, same day as the new album. Recent fan as well, never seen them before. Incredible show, 3 hours long, 32! songs. Was hoping to hear their radio play hits (Black, Daughter, Jeremy) but they played those at Worcester #2 instead, which was a totally different show than Worcester #1. Did get Better Man and Last Kiss however. I only knew half the songs but the music sounded great, including the new stuff. Ed's voice is one of the best for sure and they really rocked hard. Best American band I would say. Agree with what others have said - They don't play what they think the audience "has" to hear. They play what they want and alwyas mix it up. If you go to both shows in a city, you will hear a ton of different songs. That is the way it really should be rather than hearing the same songs every night.
He opened with Surprise,Surprise the last time I saw him in Glendale.Quote

I would love to see Bruce open a show with the acoustic version of No Surrender.

Really looking forward to the show in Dallas tomorrow night. Given that it's the first show of the second leg and they've had 2 weeks rest, plus the fact they haven't played here in 10 years, it should be a good show.
