I thought Black Keys were opening the MSG dates. Did Bridwell just come to hang out? Saw him lurching about on Letterman the other day.

Couple of great shows there

It could have been the crowd because I can not think of a better show then Thursday. I like the setlist Thursday better as wellAnd I leave every show feeling the next one will be better so that says a lot

Black Keys opened Thursday, BOH on Friday. Black Keys were the better of the two, translating better to the arena atmosphere. BOH was solid, but just not really made for the arena level. Bridwell did nail "Hunger Strike", though:

Holy ####! All I can say right now. Just dropped SLBD and Canada Mike off at their hotel. Voice is SHOT from the concerts. Will do my best to do these two shows justice tomorrow. To JZilla, Tiger Fan and everyone else, make your way to MSG next time. You will not be disappointed.

 
PJ Radio (link on the homepage at pearljam.com) is doing some cool #### this evening

Last three blocks have been the Neil Jam show in its entirety, the 04 VFC show from DC and now they are playing the '98 Monkeywrench Radio broadcast (just the PJ performances)

Big fan of PJ radio

www.gremmie.net"Turning Mist" a Mike McCready voiced ballad. Boring, and he can't sing any better than Stone"Hawaii-781"? from a Vedder solo show. Duet with some Hawaiian dude I guess. Mellow, slow, pretty solid. Wish they'd release one of these full shows in this kind of quality.Web release of "Better Days" is a nice little score this week anyway.

Icon's posting regarding grooveshark and some of the old PJ stuff they have on there (including a killer Dock of the Bay from '94 in Murphreesboro) led me to read some of the show descriptions from back then on Two Feet Thick...Here's one from 03/25/94 in Memphis:

‘Deep’ lyrics are altered to “young virgin from Memphis.” Similarly, the ‘Suspicious Minds’ lead out from ‘Daughter’ is undoubtedly a tribute to playing in “Elvis territory.” Ed becomes annoyed with all of the “Eddie” chants: “The only ####### reason you guys chant my name is cuz I’m the only guy in the band whose name has two syllables. We call Stone ‘Stoney.’ You could chant that …” and leads the audience to chant “Stoney, Stoney.” After ‘State,’ Ed asks if anyone is in love and then asks, “It’s OK to be gay in Memphis, isn’t it? All right, let’s take a vote … yes? no? Anyone who said ‘no,’ you’re a ####### #######. Grow up, get a life!” Some really long haired kid from the crowd gets to share the mic with Ed on ‘Leash,’ after which he does a glorious dive off the stage. At the start of the second encore, Ed comes out and says, “Thank you, thank you so much,” in his best Elvis voice. Then, “Mike McCready starts this song. If he doesn’t start it in the next 15 seconds, I’m gonna kick his ###.” Then Stone joins in: “The question is, can he play it with that stupid mask on?” and Mike starts off ‘Baba O’Riley.’ At one point, Ed makes gestures like he will jump into the crowd and, instead, tosses Mike into the swarm. In the brief ‘Street Fighting Man’ jam, Ed changes the lyrics from “In sleepy London town…” to “In sleepy Memphis town…”.

He really was a bit of a #### back then, but damn if it didn't seem awesome to this 17 year old

:thumbup: I remember that show.... good times

 
Pearl Jam was a $2000 question on Jeopardy in a rock music category. It was something like "This band started as Mookie Blaylock before changing its name ..."

Did anyone miss/get it?
 
PEARL JAM reportedly told a crowd at a music festival in Portugal over the weekend that the band has played its "last gig" for a long time, according to NME.com. During the Optimus Alive! 10 event in Lisbon on Sunday night (July 11), singer Eddie Vedder read a few words off a sheet of paper in Portuguese in which he said, "Thank you for coming to our last show. Not our last ever, but our last in a long time."The band played the rest of its 24-song set without Vedder saying anything further about the hiatus.

As we reported this morning, Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder told the crowd at Lisbon's Optimus Alive festival Sunday night: "Thank you for coming to our last show. Not our last ever, but our last in a long time." But despite the ominous proclamation, longtime Pearl Jam publicist Nicole Vandenberg tells us in an email that it's nothing serious. "He says that at the end of all tours, because the tour has ended. The remark may have gotten a little lost in translation."

Pearl Jam doesn't have any shows lined up at the moment, and Vandenberg did not elaborate on any of the band's future plans, or whether they had finished their support of last September's record, Backspacer.

I can only imagine the gnashing of teeth going on at the Pit

Nothing to read from it, love Ed but he says all kinds of baloney

Not to mention he was speaking PortugueseAlmost assuredly lost in translationThey might take the rest of the year off, but touring is just too profitable for them to stop, especially if they are having as much fun as they seem to be on stage
 
Can't believe PJ is almost 20 years old (10/22/10). Went onto youtube and found their first show ever.

- a little messy at the beginning, but once they get rolling, it sounds pretty much the same as it does now. And I love the story of how quick all of the songs came together.
 
God I wish I could be out there in Mountainview for the Bridge School/20th anniversary shows

Cant take the time off work

Will have to make do with My Morning Jacket (who I first saw opening for PJ in 06) at T5 this week

I know Bring/SLBD will be out there

Expect a full report

 
I remember in 1992, I was a freshman in high school listening to Ten all the time. My mom tells me that Pearl Jam isn't going to stand the test of time like her bands from the 1960s. Last Mother's Day, we went to dinner and Just Breathe came on the radio. I asked if she liked it, with her not knowing who it was. She said yes. I responded, "Has Pearl Jam stood the test of time yet?"

 
Still remember when I bought Ten. 7th grade field trip at the mall...we went and saw A Christmas Carol and then ate in the food court. Afterwards everyone ran around. The girls went to the girls store, and all of the guys either went to the music store or the sports store. I had 2 CD's (well those huge rectangular boxes) in my hands: Eric Clapton Unplugged and Ten. A friend convinced me Ten was the way to go b/c Unplugged only had 2 good songs.

Got back to school and I left Ten in my locker. Made my mom drive me back there on Saturday to get it.

:shrug: ever since
