Awesome! The official tour debuts of The Fixer, Got Some, The Real Me, and Brother w/lyrics. All Night played for just the 10th time ever. Even Flow played for just the 632nd time ever.

And I believe they are playing a gig in London here in a few hours.

PJ setlists

 

[BVS]

Interesting setlist for a festival...

Only 2 songs from the new album? Yet 5 b-sides? Of course Brother and Yellow Ledbetter are pretty well known b-sides by now...

New album isn't out yet, so I think they don't want to spoil the surprise. Plenty of hits to satisfy the casual festival crowd, with a couple of surprises in there as well.

I don't know, man, I think it's a good mix of the crowd-pleasing and the rarities.

They played (with the exception of Jeremy and Last Kiss and maybe a couple others) all of their very well-known songs...the songs that the casual PJ fan would know: Alive, Black, Even Flow, Better Man, DTE, Elderly Woman, Daughter.

EDIT: djerdap beat me to it.

I would think at a festival you would want to promote the new album(even Pearl Jam) it comes out in a few weeks... Plus it's not like they haven't done it before.

I'm not saying it's a bad setlist, although I think the flow at the beginning sucks, and their encores are almost as predictable as U2's...

 

[intedomine]

Off to see them in Nov....

Can't recall they did a bunch of new unreleased songs on a festival before... Outside of some club shows, they're pretty reserved when it comes to new material before it is released, at least in the post-Vitalogy era (that album being the exception). 2005 tour in Canada and South America being the primary example of this - no Avocado songs whatsoever.

Oh and encores almost as transparent as U2's? With Brother and The Real Me in there? Sure, Ledbetter and Better Man appear more than often, but there are frequent surprises in the encores all the time.

I really meant the second encore more so...

Everytime I've seen them it's some kind of combination of...

Rockin In the Free World

Who cover

Crazy Mary

Yellow Ledbetter

Except for when I saw them in 95 they closed with a REM cover(because they were playing the next day) and Indifference

"Supersonic" preview:

Supersonic: Pearl Jam: Amazon.co.uk: MP3 Downloads

interesting how diverse this album is turning..

 

[Ronnie269]

Sounds pretty cool!!

 

[powerhour24]

Supersonic sounds destined to be a single, and an awesome one at that.

I think it's the b side to The Fixer

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I think it's the b side to The Fixer

That's a bit lame, considering it's also track 8 on the LP. Oh well. It's not without precedence for the band to have weak B-Sides on their singles.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

YouTube - Backspacer Promo Video

Disregard the German. This has Eddie speaking wisely about the art of making music, and has footage of the band throwing axes at a big ass wooden bullseye. Awesome!

 

[Ronnie269]

Sweet, good find! whats the song at the end? The End ?

Bullseye! Looks like Ed is getting pretty good at axe throwing,
There's an article with PJ in the latest Q magazine were he talks about it.

Unemployable was the B-side to World Wide Suicide

 

[BVS]

Well I'm not liking Supersonic all that much either, but I'll be honest I don't really care for PJ's more "punk" sounding songs. To me Eddie has too great of a voice for those types of songs... it all started with Lukin

So far I'm only really liking the Speed of Sound demo and the mellow song at the end of the promo. Which is ashamed because I really do love PJ's more rocking songs, I just wish Ed would soar more vocally rather than what he seems to be doing these days... and I think a new guitar tone would suit them well.

 

[cobl04]

so i'm going to see pearl jam now, after i flicked through a few youtube videos and realised i knew them after all. i guess i'll pick up ten, vitaology, vs...

 

[intedomine]

Can't believe their playing Docklands Stadium....should be a good gig.......as long as they play Elderly Woman Behind A Counter In A Small Town.

BVS have you heard The End?? it's been played live at Eddie's solo shows... I am really loving this more acoustic phase of Eddie, I really like Into the Wild, although I think some of its songs sound unfinished

I just checked out a youtube recording from their recent Shepard's Bush show... very good.
