  1. no thanx! hehe
    not that i have something against him but i never saw him in the right way .. mostly because for me there are no AIC without Layne .. it's like PJ without Eddie, Soundgarden without Chris ... GNR without Slash and Duff ..

    true is that Mad Season are a different thing hehe
  2. ...U2 without Bono...Oasis without Liam (well that's happened a few times - with mixed results)

    I find it difficult to think of any given band as the same band when they have to replace any key players - especially the lead singer. I can't imagine anyone other than EV belting out songs like "Alive" or "RVM."
  3. Hey... this topic is only 74 posts behind the Coldplay topic and we're letting them run away.
  4. Haha.

    Their recent concerts have helped out Chris Martin and his crew. I too have been tracking the post counts but didn't want to say anything until we'd caught/passed them - and we will!
  5. If only to help our post count....

    Are there any "It's OK" tags at the end of "Daughter" from any of the Australia/New Zealand (2003, 2006, or 2009) shows ?

    I've got a mix in mind.
  6. I got an iPad through work this past week and just downloaded the PJ Stat Tracker app. It's kind of interesting.

    Ironically enough, I am NOT using this new gadget to type this post.
  7. Ahh, an iPad, awesome. Have one too.
  8. Just discovered Pearl Jam radio - it's on the app I got yesterday. Listening to a 1996 concert from Buffalo.

    I'll asnwer my own post:

    According to the PJ stat tracker, no "It's Okay" in Austrailia - ever!

    I have Sirius...its great......I bought it for 2 reasons...PJ Radio...and Howard Stern....
  12. Ok.sorry for the delay...back to my review of Montreal,09.15.05...the Encores...

    Encore 1

    The acoustic set opens,as is the norm on this great Canadian tour.Ed plays a cover of Cat Stevens tune Trouble..not bad,something different..this tune has been covered only 3 times by PJ (03.03.98,09.15.05 and 08.02.07),so this is rare and an interesting tune.Nice version of Man Of The Hour follows.After Last Kiss we have a fantastic version of Harvest Moon.Its up there with the version from Hamilton,but I will go with this version,since Im biased,as I was at this show.I remember looking around as Ed played this,and everyone just listened to the words and music,it was perfect.A keeper,no question.Crazy Mary and a very rockin Alive close encore 1.

    Encore 2 opens with some rocking tunes..Whipping (lyric mistakes),Down and a crushing version of Blood.

    But,IMO,this encore is about one song...Black.My favorite PJ tune,since I saw the band perform this classic on MTV Unplugged 20 long years ago.....The crowd sing along so loud on this....Black,in all its glory....Ed,eating it up on stage,with his eyes closed,cluthing the mic and its stand..amazing moment for me....Mike goes off on his solo.....its a top 5 version IMO,the best version from this tour (along with Ottawa 09.16.05)....Black,along with a couple of tunes in the main set (Release,GTF,In My Tree,Lukin,Porch),made this trip for me special..I still remember a sigh of refief,as the band started this clasic song.....musically,it isnt perfect..Matt seems off on a couple of rolls...but the crowd were amazing..the energy was all there...."do do do do..do do do"..went on and on from the audience,followed by We Belong Together tag.......loved it...

    Solid versions of Baba and Yellow Led end it...Matts timing is all off on Yellow Led....not his best night IMO...

    4 Stars

    I had a great time at this gig...a couple of my favorite tunes were played,GTF,IMT,Lukin,Blood and Black..but looking back,the main set could have been alot better,and whenever the band got something going,a non classic would follow...Miricles,Light Years,Grievance,Sad,was a rough patch in the show, an ok version of GTF picked things up,only to be letdown by LBC.Betterman-Porch was epic....an uneven main set,saved by a very solid encore...

    Standout tunes....Release,Animal,Betterman-Porch run is fantastic..Trouble,Harvest Moon,intense version of Blood and of course an EPIC version of Black, are my picks from this gig....
