  1. Whoa...we're getting too low on the "active topics" list again.

    Question: Although PJ has played a whole whack of shows in Italy over the years (but not since 2010), how come they haven't played in Rome since 1996????
  2. I've listened to the 2000 Chicago show three times now and have pretty much finished my review. This said, I Ron, I will allow you to make the first post.
  3. I've moved on to the St. Louis show, by the way.

    It's outstanding, as well.

  4. Is this the first time you have listened to these 4 classic shows ?

    They..IMO....are 4 of the best shows on the tour....and they are all in a row...amazing.......I rave/rant about Det/East Troy/Chi/St Louis a lot in the past on here.....
  5. In their entirety, yes.

    One day I should go through the thread to find all of your accolades for these four shows.

    How's KC by the way? I'm planning to listen to it next before taking a (short) break of the 2000 tour. What I'll be listening to, I'm not too sure. I just done want to burn myself out like I think I did with the 2006 bootlegs.

    Solid setlist.No question.I will download this..TY........My only suggestion.....I would use the 2000 tour for the aforementioned tunes...Why ?...Well for one,the band were still closer to those songs.Yeild was only 2 years old during the Binaural tour.The songs were still fresh.

    If Im making a live mix ,of older songs,I try to listen to versions as close to the release date as possible...but,thats just me...


    While I was searching, I found this post of yours (from well over a year ago), Ed, about me making a best of 1990's mix. I thought it was somewhat funny given our recent conversations about me not including anything from Binaural in the mix.
  7. And this post was next:

    Originally posted by EDDMB: Im have been listening to the 3rd leg,of the Binaural Tour this past week.There are so many amazing shows from this leg.The first 2 were in Montreal (my gig) and Toronto.Decent gigs.But,the next 3 are insane and (yes Matt I will say it).... MUST HAVE GIGS.

    Detroit (10.07),East Troy (10.08),Chicago(10.09 a top 5 gig from 2000,no question and in PJs top 10 all time).St Louis (10.11) is also fantastic,but I kept this to these 3 gigs in 3 straight nights.Jeremy,was actually played at all 3 gigs.

    Detroit is rockin.This isnt a long show.But its a heavy, INTENSE gig.It starts off with Go,that should tell you something right there.Corduroy,Greivance into THE BEST VERSION OF State Of Love And Trust on this tour,and maybe all time...period.Tremor Christ,Last Exit (Jesus Christ Its Fucking Hot Up Here) straight into Animal,In My Tree (even with a flub I love it).I Got Id sounds solid,Even Flow is slamming and then a great version of Daughter (W.M.A.).Thin Air sounds great,as does RVM.STBC is off the charts wicked.NAIS gets all messed up in the middle.Ed blames himself.But,I still really like this version.Last Kiss and Parting Ways are perfect.Fucking Up closes this short,rocking gig.

    East Troy.Ah,the infamous Ice Bowl gig.An unseasonably cold, 26 degrees, makes for a very unique outdoor show.Ed complains his wine is even getting cold.Of The Girl opens,into Hail Hail,Breakerfall,Animal and Corduroy.Solid versions of Faithfull,Off He Goes and Smile are played.Ed is very talkative during this freezing gig.This show ends early,with RVM as the last tune.The weather,obviously was the factor.A shorter than average gig,but it was just too cold.

    Chicago.Not including Seattle 2,this is the longest show from the entire American tour.Simply an EPIC show here.Great setlist.Stone and Mike are on fire all night.An amazing version of Release opens,followed by rocking versions of Corduroy,Grievance,Gods Dice then Animal.An intense version of the rare Red Mosquito is played.In Hiding,MFC,Lukin>Not For You sound brilliant.The Man Trilogy (Nothingman,Betterman,Leatherman) are played.Black,Parting Ways, Sleight Of Hand,Crazy Mary,RVM.

    Baba O'Riely ends this incredible show.

    A great 3 night run by this fantastic live band.If you are only looking,to listen to a few shows,this is,without question,some of the best.




    I'll stop the creepy behaviour now.
  8. Hahahaha.....not creepy,must have took some time to find those quotes...that run of 3-4 shows, along with a few others at the end of Oct (and Boise in Nov) have always been my favorites of the NA tour.
  9. Im just not feeling it with PJ....

    DMB start their summer tour in 5 days....and I love their last album (Away From the World) that was released in Sept.....


    PJ's lack of touring ,plus their lack of new material has me not interested..as they seem to be not interested in themselves....

    I pray whenever their new album is released, it is much much better then Backspacer....that album had so many "filler songs" IMO..and it was only 36 min long..or something like that.....

    Pearl Jam are now in the homestretch of recording their next album and guitarist Mike McCready has some hefty expectations for what’s to come. He told Seattle’s KIRO Radio that he foresees the still untitled disc as being “way better than ‘Backspacer.”
    The 2009 disc was widely viewed as a creative rebound for the band and was one of their better commercially selling discs of the last decade. While speaking on the ‘Bob & Groz Show,’ McCready revealed that the band has entered the mixing process on the disc and that they are still doing a few overdubs at this point, but that what’s been done so far has met with his approval.
    When questioned about a release date, McCready answered, “I’ve been told by the powers that be I can’t say anything yet because we are just mixing it right now. [The powers that be] are basically the five of us and our manager, we sit down and talk about — honestly, we don’t have a date for it yet.”
    He went on to add, “[Just] know that it’s going to be way better than ‘Backspacer,’ I think. It’s just different. It’s going to be great. I’m very happy about it and we’re not done with it yet. I’m not sure when it’s out, but it should be out someday [laughs].”
    Though an official release date has not been announced, the band’s members have targeted a late 2013 / early 2014 street date for the effort.

    I finished listening to KC...not too shabby. It's got a nice version of "Better Man," as well.

    Well that's good news.

    (I guess you two - Nick and Ed - are breathing a sigh of relief for you NYR's this evening!)
