First song back?

[warehouse]

i've seen this talked about randomly, so i waned to make a thread for it. what song opens pearl jam's first shows after the pandemic? my vote is small town, but others ive seen mentioned:

alive
corduroy
release

anything i'm missing? 'gonna see my friends' wont be first, but it will be like 3-4.

[VinylGuy]

fuck! i would say...release.

Blood

[Bammer]

Johnny Guitar obvs

First song back will be Corduroy. Just imagine that glorious call & response during the bridge. Ed can’t resist that.

first time i listen to Alive again live im gonna cry

[Simple Torture]

First song back will be Corduroy. Just imagine that glorious call & response during the bridge. Ed can’t resist that.

I'm on the record in another thread as guessing this. I wasn't thinking about the call-and-response so much as (1) the first show back is a festival show, and they tend to open those with crowd-pleasers and (2) "the waiting drove me mad" as an opening line.

Thought the same, though since the first show will be at Sea Hear Now on the beach, I could also see Oceans, then Corduroy.

I vote release

Long Road -> Corduroy -> SBWM -> Why Go Home

(The flow would work better as SBWM -> Corduroy)

I just hope its not Elderly Woman.. great song, but its sucks as an opener (got it at Lolla 2013)
