  1. PJ is a great band, so it's fine

    This conversation feels weird.
  2. It is - but we're okay.
  3. or this one



    Eddie very joyful being on that stage with such a band
    some wanker lady-boy should learn some respect and humility from him

    (i love The Edge! hehe)

The stories about the music scene and Ticketmaster were very intressting too and the short story about Roskilde was very moving, I knew about it but not exactely what happened. Seeing Eddie Vedder crying on stage was very weird and emotional.

    Only thing I didnt really understand was that they told stories about their succesfull albums, Ten, VS and Vitalogy but didnt really pay attention to the later albums.

    But very intresting and great docu, better than From The Sky Down and to be honest I like Eddie Vedder better than Bono He just seems like a more normal, down to earth guy or something like that.



    yeah that image of Eddie in Roskilde is very very moving
    i guess they concentrated more on the first 3 albums to show how they got on top
    well From the sky down is great too .. it shows what was the process that took to AB .. PJ20 is a story-life documentary
    you've done a good description of Eddie, he's the same on stage and in life .. but i don't think Bono is less as down to earth guy .. he acts more as rock-star on stage but he always shows his infinite humanity on and off stage.
  5. Bono changing the lyrics to RITFW....what a fuck.
  7. He likes to finish on stage the early songs Eddie didn't properly finish back in the 90s hahaha

    Why?? The song wasnt finished, so Bono did.


    He skipped the entire second verse (presumably because he didn't know the lyrics) and made up his own, which Eddie had to follow along for, and then repeated that verse again later instead of the actual third verse which Eddie has always sung with passion and force.

    I dont know, it just bothered me
  9. Bono forgets his OWN lyrics quite often,(Stay),its really no shock to me he doesnt know the lyrics to RITFW.EV flubs many a lyric as well,but as we all know,PJ play so many more songs than U2, on any given yearly tour,I give Vedder a pass.
  10. I have been listening,pretty much nonstop,to the boots from the 2010 N.American Tour.Besides the MSG gigs,which are stellar, and Boston,I would suggest listening to the Columbus (05.06),Cleveland (05.09),Buffalo (05.10) and the underrated Newark (05.18) gigs.Indiana (05.07) is very solid as well.

    The only show, out of the 13,that Im not really crazy about,is the first gig,05.01.The band played at the New Orleans Jazz Festival.The set was a bit short,and Tremor Christ is really the only stand out moment.Opening with a cover (Rock ln Roll Star) and closing with another (Kick Out The Jams) doesnt thrill me either.

    On its own,of course it isnt bad at all.It is Pearl Jam.But certain staples, like Given To Fly for example,just dont take off.EV,doesnt scream his ass off in the middle,as he almost always does. In My Tree,and Got Some are off.The band are rusty,as this is the first gig in 6 months for the band.Comotose,Supersonic and 1/2 Full should not have been played.Stronger tunes like Black,RVM and Animal would have made this short gig stronger.Being a festival,Im sure this had to do with the short set.This show is well under the 2 hour plus gigs the band play.CD 2 is only 38 min.

    When compared to other shows,from this tour,Jazz Fest is most definitely lacking,in Pearl Jams usual potency.
  11. Just listened to Buffalo today. Very solid show.

    Cleveland is next.

    Yeah. I was thinking I would skip this one. The set list was short and not the greatest. Maybe I'll grab Tremor Christ for a future mix, however.

    Is that Oasis's RNR Star they opened with?
