Hey dudes - Anyone know if there's any way to somehow get, or even "buy" higher seniority in the Ten Club? I was a member for years and then forgot to renew one year and thought "'eff it, I just lost my seniority. I'm screwed" and never renewed. That was 6 or 7 years ago.Anyway, just wondering if anyone knows anything. Is the Ten Club even based on seniority still? Or is it more randomized now? Thinking I'm going to have to sign back up for '09.
If you figure out let me know. I had a membership from early 92 (got one of the leftover Let Me Sleep Singles they had around the office plus a bunch of guitar picks and other stuff...all free) that I let lapse :confused: I called them in 99 or so and they were very apologetic but could not allow me to reactivate that membership. :shrug:Probably would have been front row for every show from here on out....dammit
 
Tenclub membership is still seniority based, although for the last mini tour they did a lottery for the first two rows from all club members

They've actually got a lot tougher with non-transferability of things, so I really doubt you could move up the ladder with your own name in any way

You can't, I tried. I was a member in 1991, low 4-digits. Would have been sitting front row for every show the rest of my life.

Yeah, I let mine lapse 4 years ago when I was moving back across country. I tried to get my number back, but they wouldn't budge. So, I just decided to purchase a new membership. It's still worth it.

Awesome! Thanks so much. It's funny to hear him complain about the Milwaukee show (the show I was at) early on. However, listening to the concert, the crowd shouting out requests in Chicago didn't seem to be much less than the Milwaukee show, yet he was pretty irritated by the crowd right away in Milwaukee.
 
Just threw in Immagine In Coronice

:shock:

IMO one of the if not the best Concert DVD ever released.

May be biased having seen it in the theaters tho...

Just noticed this after reading the article again:

The reissue of Ten serves as the launch of a planned two-year catalogue re-release campaign leading up to the band’s 20th anniversary in 2011.
So they'll end up "re-releasing" the entire studio collection by the anniversary?

That's what it looks like. I doubt they'll have super deluxe packaging for everything thought...could get a tad pricey. I'll just hope they release the entire catalog for Rock Band :rolleyes:

Pearl Jam to Release New LP in 2009

In Seattle with the band as it preps short, fast tunes

By Brian Hiatt

In their Seattle rehearsal space, beneath a portrait of Pete Townshend and a giant Ramones banner, Pearl Jam have been hard at work on songs for their ninth studio album — which they plan to release on their own in the U.S., without a label. The band will soon begin recording with producer Brendan O’Brien and hopes to release the still-untitled disc by the fall. “The new record feels good so far — really strong and uptempo, stuff we can sink our teeth into,” says Eddie Vedder, who has seen his songwriting shift direction since the election. “I’ve tried, over the years, to be hopeful in the lyrics, and I think that’s going to be easier now.”

Pearl Jam (who are also releasing a deluxe reissue of their 1991 debut, Ten, on March 24th) have been working toward a self released album since 2002, when they wrapped up their contract with Epic Records and became free agents. For their last release, 2006’s Pearl Jam, they struck a one-off distribution deal with J Records, but this time the band will handle everything themselves in the States. “We’ll make deals with a number of partners - retail, online and probably mobile, too,” says Pearl Jam manager Kelly Curtis, adding that the group will sell digital and physical versions of the album on its own Website. “The cool thing is, as the record companies are kind of dying, the opportunities are growing.”

Judging from early demos, Pearl Jam are carrying through with the punchy, melodic energy of their last album. One song, a garage-y composition by Vedder, repeats the lyric “see my friends” over Stooges-meet-the- Who power chords and loose, Johnny Thunders-inspired lead guitar from Mike McCready. Another tune, penned by drummer Malt Cameron, is a bigger surprise: It’s sleek power pop, with a Stones-y intro riff leading into a tight, chiming verse and a catchy vocal melody that wouldn’t be out of place on a Kings of Leon record. “That could have been a seven-minute, weird, sideways kind of artsy song with a cool groove,” Vedder says. “I tinkered with it after everyone left, and we shrunk it down and turned it into something else... I’m thinking about set lists: ‘Will this be a song we’ll play every night?’”

Last year, everyone but Vedder gathered in bassist Jeff Ament’s Montana house for a songwriting retreat. “It’s the first time since the first record that we’ve really rehearsed,” says Ament, “instead of just going to the studio with a handful of ideas."

While Vedder seems most excited by the idea of short, fast

songs - citing Guided by Voices as an inspiration - his bandmates emphasize other parts of the record. “There’s plenty of ballads, too,” says guitarist Stone Gossard. “And there’s some shifts in how Jeff and Matt and I are all relating — I think this record’s got a chance to sound significantly different.” Adds Ament, “There’s a couple of great things that Ed brought in that could be real departures for us. Whatever wave Ed caught with [his soundtack for] Into the Wild has taken him to different places.”

The new album is Pearl Jam’s first with Brendan O’Brien since 1998’s Yield, and they’re excited to be reuniting with their friend — who spent the past decade working with artists from Bruce Springsteen to AC/DC. “At this point, I think we’re willing to let somebody cut the songs up a little bit,” says Vedder. “In the past, Brendan would say, ‘It’s a great song, but I think you should do it in a different key; and we’d say no. But now that we’ve heard Bruce has listened to his suggestions, I think we will too.”

Pearl Jam Pumped Up To Hit The Studio

February 06, 2009 11:35 AM ET

Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.

Pearl Jam is about to hit the studio for a two-week session in Los Angeles with producer Brendan O'Brien as it continues work on its ninth studio album, which the band plans to self-release in the United States.

After laying down some instrumental beds last summer, additional demos were put to tape in December, and the band's non-singing members formulated another batch of material during a recent trip to Montana.

Frontman Eddie Vedder "put rough vocals on about half the stuff we worked on in December," bassist Jeff Ament tells Billboard.com. "There's a handful of really great lyrics. Lyrically, that stuff is in the embryonic stage, but there's a handful of lines and a couple of choruses that are just really great. He keeps getting better."

"I saw [guitarist] Mike [McCready] last night and we were both talking about this song and that song," he continues. "One of the songs we decided would go down a whole step and he was asking me about a chord progression."

This will be the first time Pearl Jam has spent significant time recording outside Seattle since 1996's "No Code," some of which was tracked with O'Brien in Chicago and New Orleans between touring. The band is confident the new album will be out in 2009.

"There's certainly been groups of songs that we've recorded very quickly," Ament says. "When we went to Atlanta and New Orleans, we could knock out two, three, four songs in the same amount of days. We did the same thing in Chicago. I'm kind of approaching it with the idea that it'll work out like those sessions did."

Ament says the band is very excited about the return of O'Brien, who hasn't worked on a full Pearl Jam album since 1998's "Yield" but has recently overseen a complete remixing of the band's 1991 debut, "Ten," which will be reissued March 24 on Epic/Legacy.

"He brings a brutally honest approach to what he thinks is working and what isn't, and it really moves things along," he says. We don't get waded down with ideas that maybe aren't even that good. He's one of the few people outside of the band that we trust with our music, and we're really, really looking forward to making this record."

The new album will be the follow-up to Pearl Jam's self-titled 2006 release for J Records, which has sold 704,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

:drive: this dude
Please tell me someone saved this somewhere....already gone at youtube. I saw this last night, but was doing other stuff :brickwall:
Really? How or why would that get pulled? I think there were a couple of other versions on there as well. All appeared to be personal cameras.

As in, the Recess monitor outside on the school playground.
Yes, but what do you call her if she's flat-chested? Hmmmm?
:lmao: In my 18 years of listening to Pearl Jam, I've likely heard this song tens of thousands of times and I have never once even thought about "recess lady's breast". But given the context of the song it makes sense. :bag:

ETA: straight from the PJ website, it is "recess lady's breast"
