    WARNING...cynical PJ rant to follow below....I have been due for one....this weekend put me over the top...my apologies....
    ...
    As far as new material ? Unthought Known.


    Late post - I had computer issues yesterday.

    Being the long time, hard-core PJ fan that you are, Ed, I can appreciate your frustration.

    I guess I have the "advantage" (not really the word I'm looking for) with PJ now as my insanity is only a year old and am still listening to their bootleg back-catalogue for the first time.

    Is 2008 really a bit of a let down? After I finish with the 2009 Philly shows, I was planning to move on to these ones.

  2. I was going to buy it but if Ronnie is offering. I'll buy Arras if no one is buying it.
  3. Sound good, Kieran.

    However, in all seriousness - and not to be patronizing - don't feel pressure to buy this while you're still in school.
  4. Haha, Matt, I've left school and I'm now at college. I work as well so it's no pressure for me. Don't worry, I've only bought one so far for us so it's time I coughed up and bought one.
  5. Not to pick on him, but where's Erik???????

    Hahaha..I forgot Tres Mt.How many projects is Jeff involved in ?

    Ronnie,its as if they are so involved with all these solo projects that PJ is secondary.I dont know why they just didnt take 12-24 months off,do solo projects,and record for a few weeks here and there,bounce some ideas off each other during the breaks,etc.

    Its not as if they are road testing new songs,like Radiohead did in 2006.


    that's the impression since 2006 .. coming back to "family", band and fans, to have some fun every now and then


  7. oh yes thank you .. relaxing regenerating and tanning days

    I would be surprised if they did a full-on tour (a la 2000, 2003, or 2006) ever again. It might be nice if they (after a new album comes out) did a tour that was a little longer - like do ALL of Europe (include Portugal, Spain, of course, Italy, amongst others) along with the ones they aleady covered, take a relatively short break, tour both the East and West sides (and the middle) of North America and eventually get to the Australia and NZ again (they must be getting an itch for some PJ by now).

    60 shows in a span of three or four months might be a lot to ask from them at this point but maybe at least do it within a single calendar year - to promote their new album, of course.
  9. Thats what Im saying Matt.Tour fullon as Pearl Jam,nothing extra.Then the following year,do as you please..some solo gigs for EV,Brad can gig.Tres Mts etc....

    EV released Ukulele over a year ago,he's still doing solo gigs this year.He should have toured it like crazy after it came out.

    When Backspacer was released in 09,they did a few gigs,stopped..went to Australia and were done for 09.Then they watied 6 months for some reason,and toured the US for only 2 weeks in May 2010.Does that make any sense ? Is it me ?
  10. Matt,the 2008 gigs are great.MSG X2,Hartford and Bonaroo are great shows.My point was,why bother to tour for 2 weeks,and thats it for the year ? They had no album out,and they werent road testing songs,as Radiohead did on their short run in 2006.

    My point was its like a tease.DMB tour every year as well (sans 2011),release or no release.But its a fullon tour,not just 2 weeks.
  11. Wow. BOTH the Werchter and Arras gigs are available for download already!

    No pressure....no pressure....

    I just get excited about these kind of things!
  12. I'll buy Arras tomorrow night if that's okay with everyone.
