Why I've Seen Pearl Jam 50+ times Part 2

2. Every Pearl Jam show has a different setlist.

You sit and wonder with other fans "Which song will they open up with?" Will it be OCEANS, GO, CORDUROY, or maybe a new song? But, the one song any Pearl Jam fan would love to hear first is always RELEASE. There's nothing more exciting than watching them walk across the stage and suddenly hear the opening guitar of RELEASE. Excitement is in the air. Fans are high-fiving each other. They're hugging one another. You get the point. But, it's not until you hear Eddie sing, "Ohhhhh. Ohhhhh. . . " that you realize you are at a Pearl Jam show. And you are about to experience something very cool. Well here's a video from Santiago, Chile (2005) that I feel captures that moment. Enjoy.
