any pj album is their best album, its so freakin hard to pick. if you dont wanna feel left out, give a listen to the new disc, they usually play about half of it on this tour, and why not its awesome. the biggest crowd pleasers that are played usually everytime are jeremy, alive, betterman, yellow ledbetter, corduroy and i could go on, but thats at least enough to get you started. dont worry you will have a blast, pj puts on the best show ever.

Ten is the best.
My personal favorite songs:
Dissident
Black
Once
Daughter (Changes the lyrics live sometimes to intertwine with Neil Young's song Free World and Pink Floyd's Brick in the Wall)
Better Man ("dedicated to the bastard that married my momma" he says on Live On 2 Legs)
Corduroy
Wishlist
Last Kiss (which is a cover song)
Yellow Ledbetter (The lyrics get changed/mumbled in this song)
Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In a Small Town. ("longest title In the Pearl Jam catalog" he says live)
Even Flow (about a homeless schizophrenic)
Now, not many people know this but there is a trilogy in 3 of Pearl Jam's songs. It consists of Alive, Once, Footsteps. It's called the Mamasan trilogy.
Alive-
A boy is told by his mom that the guy he thought was his dad is really his step-dad, and his dad is dead.
So the Mom is still reeling from the fact that this guy she loved is dead.. and even though she's remarried, she still is fairly messed up about her first [perhaps only] love dying.
Meanwhile, her son is growing up, and looking more and more like his father... and I guess the Mom sees him as the only way to be with this guy that is gone, so she goes and has sex with her son... Needless to say, this messes up the son fairly well.
Once-
And now we flash forward to Once. The son has grown up, but he's still messed up.. and has turned into a criminal. His way of dealing with his problems: Killing hookers.
Footsteps-
Flash forward once again. And we have Footsteps. He's been caught, and now he's on death row blaming his mother for making him this horrible monster.
Knowing the Mamasan trilogy makes you a true fan.

Killed Pearl Jam?! of direction not! They have been extra desirable than ever whilst they got here to play in San Diego this final weekend! Eighteen years after their debut album, Pearl Jam confirmed San Diego that they'd only be getting extra desirable.

Personally, i think "last kiss" (Love song) is the best song. You can get it off the album "rear view mirror". Even that has pretty good songs.
Last Kiss
Chorus:
Oh where, o where can my baby be
the lord took her away from me
she's gone to heavan so i've got to be good
so i can see my baby when i leave, this world
Verse 1:
We were out on a date in my daddy's car.
We hadn?t driven very far.
There in the road, straight ahead.
A car was stalled, the engine was dead.
I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right.
I'll never forget the sound that night.
The screamin tires, the bustin glass.
The painful scream that I heard last.
Chorus:
Oh where, oh where, can my baby be?
The lord took her away from me.
She's gone to heaven, so I've got to be good.
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.
Verse 2:
When I woke up the rain was pourin down.
There were people standin all around.
Something warm flowing through my eyes.
But somehow I found my baby that night.
I lifted her head, she looked at me and said.
Hold me darling, just a little while.
I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss.
I found the love that I knew I had missed.
Well now she's gone. Even though I hold her tight.
I lost my love, my life, that night.
Chorus:
Oh where, oh where, can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me.
She's gone to heaven, so I've got to be good.
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.

okay. last kiss is a cover of an old early 60's song. if you want to experience pearl jam, but anyone of their official bootlegs. every concert they play is different than the last, unlike most bands that play the same damn songs night after night. any live seattle show is awesome. they go all out for the hometown crowd. check out their covers by eddie's favorite band The Who. they do the kids are alright and baba orielly.

I've been to a ton of their concerts and they usually stick to their newest stuff for most of the show.
But, Jeremy from Ten is the best.
Plenty of the people who can sing every encore song won't know the first set, so don't worry.

They sound great on stage.
Live versions of Animal, Porch and other songs are amazing.
But for me the best song is State of Love and Trust.
