  1. So with sites like iTunes and Nugs selling/streaming these 2000-2006 bootlegs would downloading them from say pearljambootlegs.org now be a no no?
  2. Must be a no no if they are for sale...Itunes says released May 26 ,2014 for the Chicago gig from Oct 9 2000 . Im wondering if these shows were remastered ? My old CDs that I own sound like soundboard rips (tin sounding) to me when I put the cd's on . Yesterdays show was on PJ Radio and definitely sounded better then the CD I own...I hope the 2000 tour gets added to Spotify
  3. Found this article yesterday . IMO he's 100% correct . Matt is a solid drummer, who seems to be held back in PJ ,but not in Soundgarden. Just my 2 cents.


    Former Pearl Jam drummer Dave Abbruzzese - who was a member of the fold between 1991 and 1994 and performed on their second and third album - said the band's current drummer Matt Cameron is much better as a member Soundgarden, telling Michael Aubrecht:

    "I left because Stone [Gossard, guitar] told me that they were looking for another drummer! Ha! It's funny because it's true. Truth be told, I still don't know for sure why I was fired.

    "I'd never been in that situation before. Looking back at it, as I did for years, it had me miffed. Then one day I came across footage of the band Candlebox with the [original Pearl Jam] drummer Dave Krusen playing with them live and a theory formed in my head.

    "All personality questions aside, what I witnessed was just another drummer. No spark. No fire. No rock or roll. That was what they [Pearl Jam] had wanted as their drummer?

    "Then I looked at how, in comparison to his other work, Matt Cameron's approach with regards to his drumming is very tame and lackluster when he is playing with PJ. It made me realize that perhaps they never intended to be a hard-driven, powerful rock band.

    "I drove that band as a rock drummer drives a rock band. Like Matt Cameron drove Soundgarden. Mind you, I am still guessing, yet this is the only excuse that I have found that makes my firing make sense.

    "Other excuses I have heard such as my cymbals, political views, gun ownership, or that I enjoyed the success more readily, etc. are all laughable to me. Actually, most of the facts surrounding how that powerful version of that band was destroyed is laughable to me at this point.

    "I still think I am a little angry at the chicken-shit way it was handled 20+ years ago. At least Stone was man enough to show me some respect and didn't allow it to be handled by lawyers.

    "I will always be grateful for the day we spent together when he told me I was out of the band. It was a very emotional effort that took a lot of strength on his part. He knew that it was going to destroy a part of me that he valued.

    "It was the beginning of one of the most challenging experiences of my life, having to let go of what could have been and witness what all of that hard work was allowed to become.
  5. I can’t stand Dave a. Matt Cameron is one of the best drummers in the world. He knows exactly what to play to compliment the song. He can play time signatures that Dave a couldn’t wrap his head around.


    Anyway yes!!!
    I’ll be at both Wrigley and both Fenway.
  6. The world needs to get over Dave A and especially those reporters at alternative nation.

    I quite like his funky drumming.

    I think I'll see you at Wrigley. The Pearl Jam website has went into a meltdown, it's members only on the 10C forums and you can barely get in.

    Really, really want to go to the Seattle shows but I reckon I'll have to make it Wrigley only. European tour is hefty enough.
  8. Can't connect to 10c either. Has something official been announced????
  9. It leaked through the pj website. What shows are u going to Matt!!??

    Kieran no chance for Fenway ? Last 2 nights of the tour?

    No idea, tbh. As I mentioned a while back I might try for a Seattle show as we were planning to go to BC this summer. Wrigley might be too early and Fenway might be too late considering early family plans. The good news is that I now know someone would take a road trip with me to see the band. I gotta make something work!

    Was it the same 7 shows everyone was talking about? Any Philly dates come to fruition?
  12. It's pretty incredible how much bigger this band has become over the past few years, hasn't it?

    Or is all of this on my head?
