    Have to say,the band are a bit off here,at least during a good portion of the main set ..

    Release starts things off,and sounds very good...but EV flubs a verse 4 min in..kinda spoiled it for me...Go kicks off what should have been a very rockin run,it wasnt...Animal,Save You,GTF,Corduroy,that should have killed it.....it didnt......the band sound good..but not great..


    That does sound like a great start "on paper."

    I have to get that set - ASAP. I want a physical copy for sure.


    Originally posted by EDDMB:EV chats up the crowd and a good version of Daughter is played...it was starting to get groovy,.but kinda just...ends.....other tours (2000) the band would jam out during Daughter ,for close to 8-10 min at times..and I miss the Its OK tag !!!!!


    If they don't play the "It's Okay" tag at the end of Daughter, I'm ALWAYS a bit disappointed. Listen to the Winnipeg 2011 version of this song - there is BOTH a "WMA" tag AND an "It's Okay" tag afterwards. Very rare, indeed.

    Originally posted by EDDMB: Immortality and Nothingman save the main set,and flow very nice back to back here..very solid versions,nice smooth sounding solo by Mike during Immortality.Nothingman is spot on,I cant really hear the crowd,but this is a near perfect version...


    I love those two songs.

    Good for the NJD for hanging in there - they really took it to them after falling behind a goal. I guy in my hockey pool as all Devils, however.


  2. How does Matt Cameron feel about this? Maybe Jack Irons will have to return for this tour.

    Originally posted by clover68:On Eddie Vedder’s injury: Said Ed hurt his back moving a bench in the back yard, his arm went to sleep. Now he’s going through physical therapy, “He’s in the process of getting healthy right now. I think he’s improving. I think everything’s going to be fine.”


    Getting old sucks, doesn't it EV?

    Originally posted by clover68:On next Pearl Jam box set: Said there will be another one, but no concrete plans yet, “”I don’t know when the next one’s coming out.”


    I wonder if this box set will contain live songs or if they will be reissuing No Code and Yield? Maybe another show (from 1998) to complement the set????



    Glad they are so optimistic...although, what else are they going to say...We realize that are three best albums were made two decades ago - that's why the majority of our live set it from them - but we'll keep pumping out music anyway
  3. Originally posted by clover68:Pearl Jam, meanwhile is closing in on completing its next studio album, Gossard reports. “We really want to finish a record this year. [It's] now between half and three quarters done, but we got some new material and we’re excited about hopefully doing some more work on that later in the year.” Among that new material, he divulges, is a brand new hard-edged rocker by fellow Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready, “that’s fantastic that reminds me of Motorhead. I hope that that one is in the mix coming up.”

    No release date is set for the as yet untitled follow up to 2009′s “Backspacer,” but Gossard explains Pearl Jam hopes it will be out in the first half of 2013, “if all goes according to plan.”

    Stone

    And a tour to follow, I hope.


  4. Soundgarden -> Temple Of The Dog - > Pearl jam

    good thing i think .. it shows theyr'e still willing and enjoying in doing good .. as well as a quite obvious thing to say
    Bono style .. "Best album? the next"
  5. I like what Radiohead said about new performing new music during their recent Coachella performance: It makes us feel like we're still alive.

    I'm sure PJ and U2 feel the same.
  6. What's with "first half of 2013" ???..Its early 2012....not for nothing,but they had alot of time last year to record,ecept for Sept and Nov....and the first 4 months of this year pretty much...I know EV is "hurt",but this 3+ years between releases is very frustrating...

    I don't expect PJ or U2 to be the Beatles,and bang out classic releases 2 times a year...but still....

    DMB are done recording with Steve Lillywhite...Mr Lillywhite recorded "the big 3" for DMB in the 90s,I'm sure this release will be solid...and I would love to see Lillywhite record with U2 again...just him and him ALONE as the producer.....I have had enough of Eno leading U2 around by the nose, like they are his kids...Bono has even said that they depend too much on Eno.....

    Anyhow....back to the great Pearl Jam 2005 Canadian tour.....Halifax is next up today...................
  7. too much distractions along the way Ed ... Stone recording and touring with Brad, Mike with Flight To Mars and some Shadows reunions .. Matt (Cameron) we all know .. well at least i can see one of the five this year hehe
    Jeff seems to be the only one quiet in this period
  8. this is the serie of years between each album
    2-1-2-2-2-2-4-3-
    maybe Matt can find some mathematical rule in it to predict when the next will be hehe

    sorry guys thoughtless afternoon hehe
  9. Hahah Ron..how true...cold and rainy here in NYC.....a good music day ...
  11. To finish up on the Vancouver '05 gig....

    Encore 1 is good..nice version of Footsteps (a keeper version for a mix) and Small Town is played well,another b side,U is played before a solid version of Alive.This encore didnt impress me much...Footsteps is always appreciated by me..love it,Alive saved that encore IMO.

    Encore 2 is solid...another rare b side,Bee Girl is played and adds a good touch to this encore.As almost always,Black is fantastic,EV whistles the "do do do do, do do do" at the start and ending...very nice version (bit short at 7 min though),and it runs straight into a very good,solid 7 min version of Porch...(these 2 songs are 1 download for some reason...clocking in at 14 min)

    I Believe In Miracles is played,and has never done a thing for me..I of course know why they play it,but Im bored with it.Play another Ramones song please...rockin' version of Baba follows, and Ledbetter ends it....

    Decent gig..Id give it 3 1/2 stars out of 5...Immortality,Nothingman,Blood,Footsteps and Bee Girl are my standout tunes from this gig.
