Yeah...that's a lot of tunes. I did that multiple-opener thing again.

Omissions of some classic songs, like Last Exit and Glorified G, from the "experiment" have kept me from making a big set from just those three shows. I wonder if EV realized this as they were played in Hershey the next show?

I have become one big Pearl Jam nerd.

I didnt see this quote before..if you are a "PJ nerd"..then..dare I ask..what might I be ???????

I get on airplanes..and cross oceans to see PJ (I have done this also for U2,Noel,Radiohead and DMB) ..

You have done a nice job of welcoming me to the (nerd) club, I suppose. I teach math for a living - I'm used to the "nerd" label.

“Pearl Jam is a band that doesn’t do anything that they don’t want to do,” DeLuna Fest booking manager Gus Brandt said. “I think they’re only doing two shows in America this year, so for DeLuna Fest to be one of them is a big deal.”

Well, we all enjoy the band so that's really all that matters. However, you two (Ed and Ron) have "lived it" so I wouldn't put the "nerd" label on either of you. Conversely, I'm experiencing the shows (aside from the two attended) via computer and have been meticulously been studying their setlists - even looking for some patterns (non-randomness) in them. Maybe I could create an algorithm that will allow me to predict a PJ set on any given night - kind of like SABERmetrics in baseball. (Unfortunately, this nerd isn't that smart).

All this self-loathing/deprecation is very 1990's grunge, isn't it?

i guess that even the most mega-perfect algorithm wouldn't give you 100% to withdraw your money bet hehe

Do the bookies in Las Vegas or Monte Carlo put odds on the songs that Pearl Jam plays at there shows?

I suppose betting on Even Flow or Alive wouldn't really be gambling.
