    It's Pearl Jam's way of doing things. You should be happy that they are at least doing shows, but again should be quite pissed that no new album has arised.

    Also, the European tour shows were announced in December, not March

    Matt, when is Werchter out?

    Hahahaha,I thought I booked my British Airways flight sometime in March.Maybe it was all the coffee I drank today, that sidetracked me during my frenzied rant.....LOL

    Iam pleased that PJ are touring.No question.To me,it just doesnt make sense to tour for 2 weeks a year,and thats it.They could have spent all of 2010 on the road,then took off all of 2011 and 2012 to do other projects.Instead,they do this tour,stop,tour,stop for 5 years now.

    In comparison,DMB only played 12 shows last year.Thats basically a PJ tour since 2008.DMB needed time off,after 20 straight years on the road.Because of that,Dave was able to concentrate on material,and the band entered the studio in January 2012 at full steam.Steve Lillywhite was at the helm again.The new album,Away From The World, is out next week.Its is being streamed on iTunes for free this week.Its fantastic.My point being,PJ need a break.A full year,or 2,to breathe,do other things,play with Soundgarden,release solo albums (Brad,EV,RDM,Flight to Mars),then get back together,record and tour full on.

    Its as if they cant decide if they should take an entire year off or not.During an off year,do as you please.But during a band year,its the band and nothing else.I guess they (PJ) would beg to differ.

    The completionist in me says "no" but I don't want any of us to waste their hard earned cash.

    Just checking: Werchter was the only show from the Euro 2012 tour that included "Spin The Black Circle" in the set.

    back home and finally i can blast the A'Dam's

  3. no

    Ronnie or Erik, what do you guys think?

    If no one else buys it, I have a feeling that I'll eventually "cave" but with all of us involved in this process, I'd rather not be buying four (I'm happily on the hook for the two Berlin shows) or even five (what about Arras?) shows.


    no way Matt .. i'm gonna pick it
  4. not for putting more fire on the rant hehe (i'm basically agree with Ed) ...
    Jeff is going to release a side project album at the end of october .. Tres Mts? no hehe .. with the new band RNDM .. and then tour with them
    hope he's not affected by a sort of "quadrophenia" in the latest years .. solo - PJ - Tres Mts - RNDM .. hehe
  5. Are you sure about getting this one, Ron? I just realized that my name was on one of the older lists to pick up this show. I suppose I got the IoW show instead.
  6. yes and you should get the Berlins .. i think it's enough from you
    if i'm not wrong i'm in list for Prague and Copenhagen, but i have no problem to get this one too
  7. I will DEFINITELY get those two Berlin shows - especially #1. If I recall correctly, it had all those songs that I had been hoping for (Long Road, Faithfull, In My Tree, It's OK tag, etc....) at the time of the tour.

    Kieran, are you still "in" for Arras? No pressure - just wondering.

    How about I buy the Philly show if/when it comes out.

    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.
  11. Originally posted by EDDMB:The Philly set looked good Matt.But,its actually more of the same since 2009.I just dont understand the bands philosophy at this point in time.

    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.

  12. I was going to buy it but if Ronnie is offering. I'll buy Arras if no one is buying it.
