static set lists, if only Live were more flexible Options

[phungi]

Not to get into a Live vs Pearl Jam (or Live vs another band) argument, but someone posted the following on a Pearl Jam forum about the current tour:

These 6 shows have been incredible so far!!!! Sick setlists all the way through.

I did some tabulating... and through the 6 shows thus far they've played 79...

yes... 79... different songs...

79 songs over 6 concerts consecutively is pretty amazing.

Given Live's discography (7 studio albums, numerous covers) they could certainly mix it up a bit more. I pulled 6 set lists from the "On the Road" threads, and calculated 25 different songs over 6 shows (alphabetically, with # of times played)

All Over You (6)
Believe (2)
Blowin' In the Wind (2)
Dance with you (1)
Dolphins Cry (6)
Forever (6)
Gas Head (6)
Heaven (6)
Hold Me Up (6)
I Alone (6)
Iris (1)
Lakinis Juice (6)
Lightning Crashes (6)
Purifier (2)
Run to the Water (2)
Selling the Drama (2)
Shit Towne (2)
Sofia (6)
Supernatural (1)
The Distance (5)
They Stood up for Love (2)
Top (2)
Turn My Head (6)
Waitress (1)
White Discussion (6)

I may be off by a count or two, but these are the only songs played over 6 nights... not a very diverse set list, considering they have a catalog of 88 studio songs as well as 10+ covers. As much as I will miss them if they do not reunite after this hiatus, I already miss them not being the premier touring band that lives up to the name +Live+.

Just my opinion, of course...

Live needing to mix up their setlists has been beat to death on this board.

Plus, they're on a two year break!

Maybe to rehears a different set list
