  1. Originally posted by KieranU2I'd give a Vitalogy a go, definitely. Like Ed said, it's quite an odd album - especially when you get to 'Bugs'. It isn't really that important to listen to their albums chronologically, it's just something which is good to do.

    EDIT: Woo, 5000 posts! Shame though, I'm no longer a Popmartian


    Congrats on 5000 - and you did it in the PJ thread! Mirrorball Man from ZooTv beats Muscle-Man from PopMart any day of the week.

    I must exhibit some control here. So many great songs were played over those 10 dates this past November.
  3. Originally posted by Mr_TrekI like listening chronologically... but I'll fuck that, I want to hear Vitalogy.


    The fact that PJ released their (Vs and Vitalogy) deluxe eidtions as companion pieces makes me think that if they think they go together it doesn't matter which goes first. Eventually, you'll probably just end up listening to the ten "normal" tracks on Vitalogy - I do, anyway.

    Don't move on to No Code before listening to Vitalogy, however.
  4. Originally posted by lestertriplett87The more I listen to Yield, the more I like it. It doesn't have as many high points as the earlier albums, but it doesn't have as many low points either. I really enjoy listening to this front to back.


    Yield is outstanding - I really like that album. You hit the nail on the head with the high/low points. Aside from Given to Fly, I'd say everything else is just a bit below what's on their first three albums. However, lots of very solid tunes. I, however, have never been a fan of Pilate for some reason.
  5. Hearing Push Me Pull Me live at PJ20 was an unexpected treat (off of Yield)
  6. That song sounds WAY better live than on the album. Very cool you attended that (those?) show(s).

    Didn't they play the rarely-performed "No Way' as well?
  7. I only went to night one and I don't believe that was that night.

    Could have been done on night two though

    36) Black - 06.14 Praha ..classic version.....
    37) Fuckin Up - 06.09 Eifel ..really good version...
    38) Yellow Ledbetter 06.03 Glasgow ..solid version to end Pt 1....

    3hrs,5 min..this mix is from the first 14 gigs in Europe 2000...

    Praha IMO, is the best gig out of the first 14 shows in Europe,and a top 3 or 4 out of the 25 shows from this leg..For some reason,this show was not recognized by the band as a top gig,as it was not given the ape/man status.

    San Sebastian is great for the first set.But,once the encore starts,it goes downhill.Alive is a disaster.The show is really two extremes.One part great,the other many mistakes....Last Kiss and Immortality are a mess.But the first disc is so good,IMO,it is a must listen.And to hear Alive get so messed up,the band stop and start it again,you have to hear it to believe it........
  9. How could they mess up Alive? They've played it so many times.

    Too much Spanish wine, I guess.
  10. You have to hear it...
  11. I will go and download a few of the 2000 European leg shows from pearljambootlegs.org now and get back to you soon. I'll make that version of Alive a priority.


  12. One - Barcelona 30 jun 2009
