    Nowadays (less than a whopping month since I first heard it) I can take it or leave it. I can appreciate its appeal but I also understand why it wouldn't do it for someone.

    I like your comparison to "Boots," Sergio. That's another song I had to almost of force myself to like - something that I tend to do from time to time with bands I have listened to for a long time.

    It doesn't really work for me all that often - at least I the long run.

    I hope they never play Boots again. EVER
  2. Pearl Jam have easily the coolest, greatest official show posters I have ever seen.

    I also mention Ron's name (I know he'll read this tomorrow) because I feel like he deserves to see these guys ASAP. I feel bad that we've been all celebrating our shows of 2013 and he really has not had an opportunity to see them in well over seven years!

    They'd better go to Italy in 2014.

    (And then Toronto)

    turning into 8 years by now .. i could 3 years ago in Venice but i skipped and no regrets about it at all (shitty festival) ...
    they'd better absolutely or they'd have the same end of Soundgarden hehehe .. after the 2012 treatment .. mainly by mr Eddie Vedder
    quite unreliable rumors emerged last week about 12/18 june in San Siro
    by the way i prefer King Animal in complex but i love some songs of Lighting Bolt more.. My Father's Son, Pendulum .. for example

    ps: thank you for the "praises" Matt and Tim
    ppss: about the avatar unfortunately a pic of Bono, Eddie, Joe and Bruce all together doesn't exist .. Bono and Bruce (not the Dylan one) on an italian Boss site but i bet you will never see it hehehe .. Bono will always be there in any case .. maybe hehe
  4. SAN SIRO!? Holy shit. If they do it I'm there 100%

  6. Absolutely. The Donkey Kong Poster is the only one I ever bought ever! I loved it so much I had to have it.
  7. I can't believe the hundreds of dollars that some of these older posters (re)sell for!

    I guess PJ fans are bigger entreprenuers than I thought!

    I know I could easily get $300 for it but to me its priceless. I absolutely love it and it always reminds me of that unbelievable night.
  10. I have a plaqued (or is ti placked?) 1998 Australia/NZ Tour poster hanging in my garage - braving the elements, to some extent.

    I wonder what I'd get for it?

    (I have no plans to sell it, mind you).
  11. Listened to East Troy '03 again today....really love this gig..the main set isn't the best ..but the band are just on this evening IMO...

    Sometimes > Corduroy is always a blast out of the gate..Faithful, Immortality Deep and a rocking version of You Are are the highs in the main set, until an epic run of Better Man Jeremy Even Flow and Daughter end disc 1...Daughter is short (only 4 min!!!), but solid.

    Disc 2 kicks off with RVM, Go, Animal, Small Town and Glorified G....Better Man > Glrofied G is just an insane run....Go > Animal is fucking off the charts, I would have freaked......Bushleaguer (sans comments from EV) is entertaining but kills the run, Evolution picks it back up...Riot Act is my least favorite release by PJ, and disc 2 features only the one tune I mentioned..so I like that......

    I havent listened to these shows in years...the band really sound great ..Breath > Crazy Mary is awesome . Breath is of course the rare gem pulled out for this show and this version is really nailed....my big complaint with this show is all the covers....6 ??? thats ridiculous IMO.. Beatles cover is great of course. I could do without Miracles, Know Your Rights > Fortunate Son..EV must have forgot Alive, as its a no show this evening, and would have been welcomed over those 3 covers..

    I of course could do without his rambling 5 + min speech before Hide Away..holly shit wtf is he talking about ?? here is a bit of it... “Power to the people man…. The real people, the people that work, not the people that sit in their towers, and try to run the whole thing, thinking that we’re too stupid to notice what they’re doing! They get us in our little holes, and our boxes, and our cages and they show us American Idol and American Gladiators and American …. blowjob, buttfuck, whatever. And everyone watches with baited breath. Oh, who’s going to get a blowjob tonight? What American’s going to get a blowjob tonight? When in reality, you could be getting one yourself instead of watching the fucking TV, I don’t know. I digress. I’m going to get a guitar. But we were just talking in the back, and we were thinking that maybe uh, on the strength of a night like this, and uh, really, uh, so you understand how much we appreciate it, we were thinking that instead of uh, waiting 2 years or even, uh, after we finish the next record, maybe just next summer, we could come back and play, just a few places that we’ve been to and this would be one of them.”

    lol what ??........this is what happens when you mix a lot of wine and politics lol...........

  12. Great post Ed. Ill give it a listen.
