Wow, ridiculous set lists. I've been feverishly refreshing Ticketmaster and checking Craigslist for something decent.

Haven't seen Pearl Jam at the Garden since 2003. Hung outside the Garden for 4 hours in 2008 and couldn't get a ticket- except of course the bogus tickets made by the scalpers outside.

If anyone has an extra ticket, keep me in mind!

If I get a ticket, I'm hoping for an epic version of Black like on Live on Two Legs, or Release or Footsteps.
 
Yeah, I was just looking back through the thread and saw it (Release) opened in Boston. Shit, that was the song that got me into them. I got hold of a decent quality bootleg from a show in Vegas in 92' or early 93' where it opened the show.

I'm surprised the VHS tape is still working considering it's probably got the second or third most views behind ZooTV Sydney and Guns N' Roses from somewhere in 92'. That's easily over a thousand views.

They tore it up- State of Love and Trust, an extended version of Porch, Garden, Footsteps.

I might have to pop that in the old VCR if I can't get something for tonight.

Anyone want to know what a crazy 1-minute punk song about a stalker sounds like when reworked into a heart-breaking 3-minute acoustic ballad? :D

YouTube - Pearl Jam - Slow Lukin - 5.21.10 Madison Square Garden, NY

Ah, this band. These incredible setlists make me even more pissed off that Europe will get a 90% festival tour. But I'm still hoping they'll stretch it out as long and mix it up as much as possible! :up:

Fab show but when are they not? :) MSG 2008 and Honolulu 2006 I think are still my top PJ shows. Some other video I took last night:

Eddie gave a get well soon shoutout to boner before the second encore
 
now that i've come off the high of last week...

wow, what a show to close it out. this band is incredible live. i don't know how many other bands where you can see them 3 times in a week and all three shows could stand on their own and be called great shows, yet at the same time, each show was better than the last.

honestly... friday night was my 11th pearl jam show, 3rd show of the week... and they played 6 songs i've never heard them play before... 7 if you count slow lukin.

and the energy of the band, the energy of the crowd... wow. amazing. can't wait for the boots to come out
 
This new song leaked from God knows where...

Pearl Jam: Better Days (MP3) @ Antiquiet

There's a rumour that this is a Riot Act outtake, although Eddie's voice sounds like it was recorded recently. It sounds very interesting, can't compare it right now to something else in their catalogue (maybe the folkish 2nd disc of Lost Dogs). I'm wondering if this is indeed Pearl Jam, or an Eddie Vedder collaboration (or him solo for that matter).
 
Apparently it's an Eddie solo track and will be on the Eat, Pray, Love soundtrack.

Also, the European tour starts tomorrow in Dublin!




New set lists :drool:
 
Dublin:

Long Road, Once, The Fixer, Why Go, Corduroy, Severed Hand, Amongst The Waves, Even Flow, Unthought Known, Nothing Man, Lukin, Not For You, Down, Got Some, Comatose, Arms Aloft (Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros cover), Do The Evolution

"Of the Earth" is from the Avocado sessions apparently, and here's a pretty damn decent quality vid of it:

June 23, 2010 Belfast, Northern Ireland, Odyssey Arena

Main set: Sometimes, Do The Evolution, Animal, The Fixer, Tremor Christ, Low Light, Even Flow, Unthought Known, No Way, Insignificance, Present Tense, Daughter/The Real Me, Got Some, Save You, Given To Fly, Black, Rearviewmirror

No Way gets its European debut. Nice set! And that Of the Earth track is epic!
 
I was at the Belfast show last night, got a good view, right up the front in the middle, The band were in great form and played a sweet set, as can be seen in the last post, must give credit to Ben Harper & The Relentless 7 too, they was amazing really blew my already high expectations out of the water!!! As for Pearl Jam's performance, need I say anything other than, INCREDIBLE! the sound was V loud almost too loud as it became fairly muddled at times and the levels were fairly dodgy,

Mike McCready played a bit of I Will Follow at the end of Yellow Ledbetter, AMAZING! (although as a guitar player I think he played it wrong heheheh :D)

The first two festival sets...

June 25, 2010 London, England, Hyde Park, Hard Rock Calling Festival

Set List: Given To Fly, Why Go, Brain Damage/Corduroy, Got Some, Once, World Wide Suicide, Small Town, Amongst The Waves, Even Flow, Unthought Known, Nothingman, Arms Aloft (Joe Strummer cover), Not For You, Of The Earth, State Of Love And Trust, Do The Evolution, Wasted Reprise, Better Man/Save It For Later

1st encore: Just Breathe, Red Mosquito w/Ben Harper, Black, Porch

2nd encore: Go, The Fixer, Alive, Yellow Ledbetter

and...

June 27, 2010 Nijmegen, Holland, Goffertpark, Rockin' Park Festival

Set List: Do The Evolution, Got Some, Save You, Given To Fly, Animal, Dissident, In My Tree, Even Flow, Just Breathe, Unthought Known, Whipping, Daughter, Jeremy, Rearviewmirror

Encore: Small Town, The Fixer, Life Wasted, Better Man, Rockin’ In The Free World

The London concert is a solid festival set, being as long as an average headline show, with gems like Nothingman, SOLAT, Of the Earth, Go and Red Mosquito in there. The Nijmegen one is a bit disappointing, considering it's their shortest set in 3 years (due to a strict curfew). Hopefully they'll play at least 2 hours in Venice. But man, festivals are such a drag. Gimme a big 2006-style Euro tour as soon as possible! :drool:
 
Seen the guys again in London on Friday great gig!!! The sound was very low at times especially during the start of all 3 headlining acts sets, so I dunno if this is to do with Hard Rock Calling,

Eddie joined Ben Harper for Under Pressure, the second song of Harper's set and stirred the very subdued crowd up a bit, pretty great cover the sound levels were clearly trying to be sorted during it, going up and down etc etc,

Pearl Jam gave a great performance, and Stone this time was noticeably enjoying himself, I got a vibe of him at the Belfast gig that he didn't really wanna be there, Mike was as active as ever covering every inch of the stage and throwing plenty of plec's into the crowd, really good set, the crowd tho I must say were not too great they didn't interact or get into the show at all, well seemingly the majority of them that is, where I was anyway, The one PJ songs I'm always hoping for everytime I see them is In My Tree, and again it didn't appear, and to make matters worse, the very next gig in Holland, ta-da there it is 7 songs in, ah well I'm sure I'll be seeing the guys again, hopefully soon!

BTW, Does anyone have any idea of the tune Mike snippeted in Yellow Ledbetter?, I didn't recognize it at all,
 
June 30, 2010 Berlin, Germany, Wuhlheide

The Berlin gig was very emotional, being the 10th anniversary of the Roskilde tragedy. Great setlist, featuring Immortality and dedicating Come Back to Roskilde victims. The Poland gig is your usual festival setlist, hoping for some surprises and a longer show in Venice...
