Discussion & Reviews

Me, Amy and Wendy saw them in New Orleans. Eddie Vedder was incredible! Afterwards, he was spotted at our favorite bar. Of course I stayed as far away from him as possible... but I did snap a pic of him talking to someone else. Lame...

only one 90s band in the Top 10, but 2 in the Top 11 isn't as bad as I would have thought. PJ are a better-sounding live band now than they have ever been. They are playing widely different sets night after night. Their studio albums have been lacking the massive hooks of their first 3, but still tend to have 2/3 or so really strong songs, songs which grow on you live and you end up digging like 3 years after the album came out. I really can't say anything negative about Pearl Jam - they were probably my favorite band from 1992-95, and have never really stumbled since. For some reason they went long stretches without playing Los Angeles, though they are coming for 4 nites at the Gibson later this year (i will go at least twice). They also have the distinction of being the most-i-have-ever-spent-on-a-scalped-ticket band, by at least 5X, for the fan club only show (I am a Ten Club member, just got shut out).

listen to bootlegs. PJ was always a great live band. but on the 2000 tour they took it up a notch, consistently, and on 2003 jumped it up even further. i'd say they've stayed there ever since.
