But the hardcore fans that were there could remember and joke about it. But IвЂ™d liken playing Arms Aloft in that spot to Michael Jordan airballing the first shot of a playoff game he went onto score 50 points. ItвЂ™s funny to look back on and laugh about. Could you imagine if they played Animal right there? Or something in that realm (Hail Hail, etc.) What a botch. As youвЂ™ll attest, that place was about to EXPLODE following Release. ItвЂ™s so funny you mentioned that PJ20 moment because I was there as well and was thinking about it in relation to this discussion. The place is pumped for the show I think most are ready for a Rocker after a Slow Opener? Vedder sang oldies like Jeremy and Black with renewed enthusiasm. I understand what you're saying about the 3 Slow Burners to star the show. On the 10-year anniversary of their first concert, Pearl Jam played the MGM Grand in Las Vegas to celebrate. Well, at least they didn't open with Release and then play Arms Aloft>LOL I like when they sprinkle those songs in among the rockers. And itвЂ™s nothing against those songs, but to start a rock concert, theyвЂ™re a little boring. So when I went to Boston вЂ16 and got Release-Long Road-Small Town-Lowlight-All Those Yesterday to open, I was a little surprised. Europes 2018 Euro tour went back to the formula but instead of a 3 song slow start the majority had a 2 song slow start. If you look at the 2016 arena tour they got away from this quite a bit with almost all of the shows being a fast start. I do love a fast start too though and I think mixing it up more keeps things fresh and us on our toes of how they are going to come out.

Brooklyn sounds like a fantastic start to me as well.

They nailed Release that night with Sometimes in front of it as a warmup. SBWM would be my preferred opener from Gigaton. IвЂ™m always hoping for a Why Go or Last Exit-type song there. Excitement is at a peak when they take the stage. I think it might have a lot to do with anticipating the show for so long, then traveling there, then waiting anxiously for the show to start. Hopefully that lose that вЂњformulaвЂќ whenever this tour begins. Just looking at two shows I attended, Pendulum-Wash-Nothingman opened Brooklyn вЂ13, and Sometimes-Release-Low Light opened Boston вЂ18. But IвЂ™ve hated how over the past few years, theyвЂ™ve often opened with three mellow songs in a row. IвЂm not sure of the reason, but opening with a Release or Long Road whatever is fine if they insist. I'm just enjoying this all encompassing trip and telling a few tidbits of my story along the way. I started this blog as a place to post Pearl Jam bootlegs but now that I have two daughters it's slowly becoming more and more about them. I know what you mean but they do that for a reason I think.gives them plenty of time to get the sound just right Husband, father, music lover Complete Pearl jam freak. Nothing against the tune, but IвЂ™m just not that into mellow openers. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic referred to Pearl Jam as 'the most popular American rock & roll band of the '90s.I hope not. Pearl Jam has outlasted and outsold many of its contemporaries from the alternative rock breakthrough of the early 1990s, and is considered one of the most influential bands of the decade. To date, the band has sold more than 31.5 million records in the U.S, and an estimated 60 million worldwide. In 2006, Rolling Stone described the band as having 'spent much of the past decade deliberately tearing apart their own fame.' One of the key bands of the grunge movement in the early 1990s, over the course of the band's career, its members became noted for their refusal to adhere to traditional music industry practices, including refusing to make music videos, giving interviews and engaging in a much-publicized boycott of Ticketmaster. The band's fifth and current drummer is Matt Cameron of Soundgarden, who has been with the band since 1998.ДЇormed after the demise of Gossard and Ament's previous band, Mother Love Bone, Pearl Jam broke into the mainstream with its debut album, Ten, in 1991. Since its inception, the band's line-up has included Stone Gossard (guitar), Jeff Ament (bass), Mike McCready (guitar), and Eddie Vedder (vocals).

Pearl Jam is an American rock band, formed in Seattle, Washington in 1990.
