So, what's the consensus "best song" off this album so far? I'm going with Army Reserve. Honorable Mention goes to WWS and Severed Hand.
I'm serious, this album has taken absolutely no time to grow on me. The only cut that doesn't work for me is Parachutes. But, even that is better than anything that was on Riot Act.
This is a great album.

I think Come Back could be a good set ender or even show closer--especially if Eddie draws the "ohs" at the end of song, a la Black.Yep.Like I said....Wasted Reprise (extended) ---> Life Wasted opener.
I'm also thinking, along with Severed Hand, that Inside Job would be a great opener.

No doubt. Great Letterman performance. I wish they'd get that webcast up soon.I think Come Back could be a good set ender or even show closer--especially if Eddie draws the "ohs" at the end of song, a la Black.Yep.Like I said....Wasted Reprise (extended) ---> Life Wasted opener.

I love Pearl Jam and all, but I don't feel like this is by far better than any other recent albums of theirs.
On Tues. I bought 10,000 Days and Prairie Wind (don't know why it took me so long to get that) and I think that Pearl Jam is the 3rd best album that I bought.

Listened to the album on my Yahoo Unlimited subscription service. I just don't dig the faster tracks very much. I don't view Pearl Jam as a band that writes great riffs (though there were some good ones in the early days), and as such, their harder songs kind of bore me. That said, the latter half of the album is money. Interested to see how it grows on me.

The opening to Inside Job reminds me of Neil Young's music.

I'm kinda biased towards all their albums (they are all good in so many different ways), but I think Riot Act is the weakest of all. Of the three newest, Binaural is just a step below the new one.What songs off of Riot Act would make the cut on the new disc and what would they replace? I could see Can't Keep and Thumbing My Way sliding onto this disc (maybe Save You), just not many others, and not sure what would come off the new one.

I Am Mine, and Love Boat Captain I think would also make the cut, but I agree with you 100% on the above.I'm kinda biased towards all their albums (they are all good in so many different ways), but I think Riot Act is the weakest of all.

Right after Yield. I hestitated to put it lower. Vitalogy is a weird album for me...there are a couple songs I love - Last Exit, Satan's Bed, & Better Man...but all of the others are just good PJ songs but they don't really wow me.It's funny, b/c when you love all of the albums from your favorite artist, I start to judge the albums by how many songs blow me away.

I hear ya.Right now:

1. Vitalogy
2. Ten
3. Versus (sometimes this is #1, it's just amazing)
4. No Code (Present Tense, In My Tree, Off He Goes, Hail Hail, and Sometimes carry the disc to this spot, but the lack of good rockers keep it from going higher)
5/6. Yield (toss up with Binaural)
6/5. Binaural
7. Riot Act

Pearl Jam will probably slide anywhere between slots 2-4, but my "favorite" album (and song for that matter) change quite frequently, primarily because their music is so important to me and because I listen to it so much.
As TF said, I don't think my least favorite PJ album is bad by any means--I would take any of their albums ten-fold over any other artist.

I have listened to it quite a few times as well. I must be in the minority that actually likes Parachutes.

i was there tonight, what a F'n show.
the place was ROCKING.
the set list posted above is correct, lots of new stuff mixed in with some classics, and a great, great closing of RITFW and my favorite - Yellow Ledbetter.
someone earlier in the thread mentioned something about "Come Back" being a great closing song - the way it was done tonight this song has CLASSIC written all over it, simply amazing.
Eddie was fairly interactive with the crowd, dissing American Immigration prior to "Unemployable" and relaying the fact that we were hearing their first live performance of Inside Job ever (it was very good).
in terms of crowd noise, it was typical pearl jam, the place was nuts, i got high off the fumes! highest crowd reaction was to "Betterman, Alive and Yellow Ledbetter" i got the feeling a lot of people didnt hear much of the new album but every track they played off of it was done well -- especially Come Back and WWS. I was a tad dissapointed at the way Marker in the Sand was done, I adore the song but it didnt sound as great as i had hoped.
overall it was an amazing experience, i had an obubstructed view as i was in the first row of the first section (couldnt nab floors unfortunatley). the set list was awesome and it was a great performance.

Alright, so since you can't figure this out on your own, let me spell it out for you:How about you kindly post some pictures of the show...of the set...of Eddie Vedder belting out Alive for chrissakes?
Or, do you have more pictures of the cross-street signs 1/2 mile away from the Air Canada Centre you'd like to show us?
Thanks.
