1. Originally posted by EDDMB:I think its fair to say, that Pearl Jams bootlegs in the year 2000 brought me back into the fold. I love live releases , and the day the Euro boots came out , I strolled over to Tower Records , and I was in a state of shock and awe.....I grabbed 5 of them... Milan , Prague , Hamburg , Berlin and Katowice......and that was that , I was hooked again .

    I'll go out on a limb and admit that it's the bootlegs (old and upcoming) that make me the Pearl Jam fan that I am today. These shows provide me (and everyone else) alternative takes on songs and, most importantly, something to look forward to.

    BIG HINT/REQUEST from other bands - if you want me to stay interested between albums, give me something else to listen to!!!!!
  2. As far as the Vitalogy "fillers" go, I don't mind 'Aye Davanita' (although I will admit that I just copied and pasted Kieran's text of the song as I never remember its actual name or its spelling).
  3. Vs was "immediate" for me. I loved it right from the start. I needed more time with Vitalogy to declare my adoration for it (although "Corduroy" has been one of my favourite songs by any band for almost two decades now).
  4. Yes Matt! Charlottesville on Sirius right now.

  5. Ja, I've been patiently waiting

    (Ed relates a story about certain hand gestures including the Sign Of The Horns and the variations of “peace” or “V for victory” or in some places like Australia and the UK when done with the knuckles facing forward is a vulgar or obscene gesture.
