Zilla, There is an outside chance that I may have an extra for Wednesday. I will let you know as we get closer. Wouldnt hold my breath but will keep you in mind if need be
LOL, just calling it like I see it. It's growing on me, but I still don't think it's even close to self titled.I can easily see "Supersonic" being a Ramones song if you took all the harmony and complexity out of the vocals.Not sure, just the beginning. The Ramones make me think of three things: fast pace, lots of repetition and short songs. So maybe that's why I thought of them.What songs remind you of the Ramone's? I'm not big into them really, so I don't know for sure, but I have a hard time imagining the Ramone's on about 3/4's of this album. I'm also enjoying the shortage of political lyrics for once. As I believe TU mentioned, at times in the past it seemed forced.Not a huge fan of Backspacer, but it's not bad. Reminds me of the Ramones for some reason. As mentioned, missing some Mike and some Eddie anger. I liked them better with Bush in the White House. Interesting review on AllMusic saying that this is their "party" album and they're having fun and letting loose. Probably true, but I like them better angry.
I gotcha.. I was just weighing in on what song(s) I found Ramones-ish.LOL, just calling it like I see it.

Read they're having site trouble
The Ben Harper Red Mosquito has been sickHere's nice vid/sound from the Portland show:
Jesus, you're not kidding. I was right behind this person, and a little to his left...that took me right back, thanks.
Any suggestions on which two of these to get?Halifax 9/22/05Philly 10/3/05Can somebody list these out? Can't view that from work...tiaConcerts available
I just got the first two.. whatever... I know I've heard all of the 06-08
The message pit nerds are going ape#### over the T-shirtsI think PJ just did that to mess with everybody. Of course I drove half an hour to try and get one.

Without delving into it, and without knowing what songs you prefer, I would say Chile, for one. Those fans go crazy down there, and if they picked that as one to be on the list, it must be good. I think the crowd interaction alone would be worth it. Crazy, how they know more of the words than fans here do...I tried to see if the Grand Rapids one was the one when Peter Frampton and Neil Young joined McCready in the most memorable guitar jam I've ever seen, but it doesn't say as much on the setlist. ####, was that Toledo?Any suggestions on which two of these to get?Halifax 9/22/05Philly 10/3/05Can somebody list these out?

You will certainly be in the minority in most places regarding your last statement. Suprised you don't have a few more 4s though, cuz I have three of them.I think the 4s on Riot Act are Can't Keep, Save You and LBC.
I like those as well. They'd just be a notch below the others. Plus I like I Am Mine at that level. I'd even rank 1. Ghost, 2 Save You, 3. Can't Keep as the best three songs overall in the past four albums.
Its funny how music is so subjective. I started listening to all PJ albums since the show is about one month out. Listened to No Code two days ago and thought that the album was not great. There were only 2-3 songs that I liked. I think part of the problem is that I am pretty sure none of the PJ albums on my ipod are in order of the songs on the CDs. Not sure what happened there but there was 5 slow songs in a row on No Code and I know that is not how it is in the studio cutTiger Fan said:
I agree. Ten, Vs., Vitalogy and Yield are all so close to me, it constantly changes which one I like best at the time. I love Hail, Hail, but No Code isn't up to par with the other CDs. In fact, I'd rank Riot Act above it.
LOVE Tremor Christ; just the 2nd time they've played it live since 2003!Digging the ending to the main set, starting with InsignificanceKinda bummed I won't be seeing the Ben Harper Red Mosquito in Philly
It's funny, I really like your ranking of the CDs, but I think only two of your top ten songs would make my top ten.It is hard for me to rank the albums though. Riot Act and Binaural would be at the bottom for me as well, that part is easy. The rest I like too much. Ten is a classic. While I think it is overproduced, the songs are still great and never get old. It's hard not to put it number one. vs. is just solid straight through. It has a couple of tracks I could drop off, but again, so many great songs. Vitology? When that came out, it just hit me what a great band they are. Betterman and Corduroy are definitely in my top ten. I can't make an argument for this being a number one album, but it has some great songs on it. No Code is my sentimental number 1. When it came out, I realized that each new album meant more than just getting some new songs to listen to. It meant I was going to see a new side of the band, and I had a project to sit down with the CD and really dig into it. I never see Yield at the top of anyone's list, but dang if I can't put that CD and an love every minute of it (except for Pilate, hate that song). Riot Act and Binaural were down points, but then Pearl Jam comes out and I think this could be their best ever. Still love it.A lot depends on the mood, so if I was ever to rank them, it would be a very fluid ranking, easy to change from day to day.Tiger Fan said:
Me too!The Tremor Christ at Detroit 10/07/00 was a highlight that still stands out in my mind today. Ed's intensity was near peak during this tune imo. It was 5th out of the gate that night. I was going nuts, people probably thought I was too. Not to mention, the start of that show was ####### awesome! :GoCorduroyGrievanceState of Love and TrustTremor ChristThis is one song I'm really hoping for in Philly.
FWIW, this would be one of the ultimate shows for me. Too bad they couldnt hold it for the 28th
This was AWESOME!!!!!! They sounded fantastic, the crowd was into it and the Gibson is a great place to see a show. I have a 393xxx fan club number and was 5th row of the orchestra in the middle (About 15 total rows back) Unbelievable night.

Not sure you wanna wear that Dodger crap to the SD show GB. You'll get your ### kicked like the Dodgers did in Petco the last couple of nights.Oh, and I had to get a Dodgers/PJ shirt so I can wear it to the World Series when we beat the Yankees.TU
You dont know how bad I want to tell you I will buy them and then sleep over for the show on the 28th. However, with a 8 and a half month preggers wife and a 2 and a half year old, no way that is happening.Thanks for offering it up here first. Part of what makes this place great IMO
I SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO badly wish I could do that.
I guess it's what you're looking for in a song. I'm a huge fan of PJ songs that really explore Vedder's voice, hence the 10 songs on the list (and Unthought Known & Arc). But it's weird, sometimes you never really get a true appreciation for a song until you here it live. This happened to me with Indifference.....was always my least fav on Vs......and then I heard it live. Same thing with Oceans (even though the live version happened to be my friends PJ cover band). Anyway....I really can't think of an PJ song that I truely dislike (sans Stupid Mop).....I think No Code will always stay on top for me, and the rest will always change depending on the mood.
Same thing happened with me and Smile. I always thought it was decent, but nothing spectacular. Then I heard it live at the "Ice Bowl" show in Wisconsin. He told the story about the song, and it was a perfect timing for it. We were all freezing and huddled together in the GA section, it had a very communal vibe. The song just seemed to fit perfectly. Loved it ever since.
Interesting mix last nightLots of "known" songs, but also a cover of the Police's Driven to Tears, Lukin w/a string quartet (what?!?!) and Jazz Odyssey (whatever the #### that is)First Jeremy of the tour, I believe
The Interstellar Overdrive >>> Corduroy openingI used to have a video copy of my first show ever......not sure if Katrina got it or not.
I think they are using ones from whatever city they are in
cool, thanks TUIs it a bad sign that I dont have Riot Act or Binaural on my ipodHave to upload those tonight when I get home
