Would love to have seen Soundgarden in their prime.

I saw them twice in one week a few years back

It must have been on their final world tour. Fecking loved it. That Chris Cornell has a very high vocal range... he must wear some tight underwear.

Just got 2 tickets for Pearl Jam in the Point Depot!!!!!!!! I can't really believe it. Feel like I am 15 again to be honest... Fcukin savage....

Anyone else succeed?

Saw them on their first UK tour, am pretty certain it was their first. Can't remember where it was. The only thing I remember is wah-wahing the guitarists wahwah during his solo for their first? single - the famous one (or at least I think it's famous). I thought I was pretty good at wahwahing, tho the guitarist simply couldn't keep in rythym with me. Best bit tho was when Eddie Vedder jumped into the crowd to be held aloft AT THE SAME TIME HE DID IT IN THE VIDEO !!!

Pair of tickets cost me 152.75 USD (123.066 EUR) or roughly 61.50 EUR each

Those boys can play. I'm a bit of a Neil Young fan & I was lucky enough to be up in the stage wings during his set when Pearl Jam were touring with him at Reading 95.

I was stood behind Eddie Vedder's guitar tech & so had the set list taped right in front of me. So I could see what was coming next ... trouble was it never came ... They did so many wild solos between them all that they got through about half of the songs planned, even for a short festival set .....

fcuk that man - I actually managed to start buying dublin tickets before they were listed with all the other shows - figured out the sequence number based on the other show urls

- it took almost 5mins to come back when it did the credit card verification and I was sure I was bombed out as it came back again to the billing address page but when I checked the ten club order tracking it was listed so I was sorted.

What venue are they playing in Praha? We went over to see Iron Maiden there last year and I'm wondering if it's the same spot...

IrishDave · « **Reply #52 on:** April 26, 2006, 04:51:39 pm »

It's the Sazka Arena apparently.

omerta · « **Reply #53 on:** April 26, 2006, 07:00:24 pm »

Just remembered Maiden were in the T-Mobile arena. Sazka looks pretty neat. Enjoy it man... and also enjoy the budvar and staropramen

Ended up having to work this morning so went up to the shop during my break at 10 and was told he had sole had 2 minutes past 9

I got another 4 online yesterday morning. Guess this was my lucky week with tickets. Think they are all taken but if there are spares I'll let you folks know...

IrishDave · « **Reply #61 on:** May 11, 2006, 12:09:41 pm »

Just wondering what opinions you all have on the new record.

I'm quite the fan. I already prefer it to Riot Act and Binaural. Some quality tracks but the second last one "Come Back" is the standout for me. The first time I listened to it I was totally blown away.

"Severed Hand", "Marker in the Sand" and "Parachutes" are brilliant also.

omerta · « **Reply #62 on:** May 11, 2006, 01:18:50 pm »

Yeah it's decent but I need to give it a few more listens. Parachutes and Unemployable are the ones I tend to return to more than the others. They slated it on Tom Dunne last week and reckoned Pearl Jam wouldn't be the band they are now if they had released this album as their first album. I reckon this is a nonsense argument and not one too many bands would stand up to. It's easy to knock PJ but I say if you don't like it change the channel or eject the disc...

Tickets are still available for the gig in Paris on Sept 11th. I got a pair on the pitch yesterday for €84 all in and flights are €110 each. Can't believe I'll get to see the lads twice in one year..

Rock on...

IrishDave · « **Reply #64 on:** May 12, 2006, 09:44:06 am »

Yeah I saw that. Tempting, but my work are already kicking up a stink about me taking time off to go to Dublin and Leeds (I haven't even told them about Prague yet).

Paris might just be taking the piss.

Deadlogic · « **Reply #65 on:** May 13, 2006, 09:43:09 pm »

I didn't actually like the new album on first listen - which for me is a huge thing. I've been a fan since 91 and absolutely loved everything they've done. But, after 2 or 3 listens I started to love this record too.

I'm now of the opinion that it is at least as good as Vitalogy - which is probably my favourite Pearl Jam album to date.

Has everyone managed to watch the Letterman gig, and the Jools Holland stuff?

Vitology was a dark, dark album! Took me a while to really get into it and felt a little disappointed at first, but I think that was partly due to the huge shadow that Vs cast. Vitology is not not exactly an easy listen, but on reflection its defo one of their best.

Its hard to compare that album to their newest one though as my life (and subsequently my musical tatste) is vastly different to what it was in the early to mid 90's. I would have to say that Vitology is probably better for me overall as it was more relevent and all encompassing than "Pearl Jam" is for me today. Defo would say there are similarities between the two records.

Nothing comes remotely close to Vs though. Its simply one of the finest albums I have ever purchased and rocks from start to finish. If you wanted a candiate for a band who blew away the "tricky second album" theory then Pearl Jams "Vs" does it for me.

Did they ever better this? No for me.

Probably not - although Yield and No Code came close IMO. It is a masterpiece.

DK · « **Reply #69 on:** May 30, 2006, 03:49:13 pm »

Looking through all the Pearl Jam CD's I have is like looking through an old photo album. I can remember exactly what point of my life I was at and what general kind of mood I was in.

Vs was a masterpiece but it still surprises me how much headnodding and foot-tapping goes on when I listen to No Code and Yield - neither of which I particularly liked when they were first released.

I just 'acquired' their latest and am working my way through that, good to see they are still on form

omerta · « **Reply #70 on:** August 17, 2006, 12:37:57 pm »

I had booked a ticket, flight and accommodation for the Pearl Jam gig in Paris on Sept 11th but I cannot go now. The ticket and flight are currently in the process of being sold but I have a TWIN ROOM in a hotel going if anyone is interested.

Here is the name of the hotel so do a search on google and see what you think.

Saint Christophe
17 Rue De Lacepede
75005 Paris
France

The price of the room was 117 euro and Ryanair will not give me a refund the b*st*rds! If you are interested please make me a reasonable offer and we'll arrange payment and change of names etc.

If no one on here is interested I'll try my luck on eBay.

PortlandRed · « **Reply #71 on:** August 17, 2006, 07:15:08 pm »

Last time I saw Pearl Jam was back in 2000 at the Rose Garden here in Portland. They were ace. They're a band that won't play 10 songs and jet.

omerta · « **Reply #72 on:** August 21, 2006, 02:27:15 pm »

as discussed already here is the listing on eBay for a ticket and hotel package I am selling:

The reserve is only 70 euro so it is surely a bargain for anyone who wants to go see the legends playing in a city as cool as Paris. Flights on Sept 11th aren't too dear either for some reason

22/08/2006 - THIS ITEM HAS NOW BEEN SOLD

Finally got the witness the majesty of Pearl Jam live again last night, 6 years since the last time.

What a gig! What a gig! The crowd were so up for it. I have never sweated as much I think.

The newest stuff sounded great, the old favoutires were as beautiful as ever and there were the usual little twists and gasps of "are they really going to play that?".

World Wide Suicide
Severed Hand, Animal

Only 36 hours until I get to do it all again

omerta · « **Reply #74 on:** August 25, 2006, 04:44:30 pm »

I actually felt a little let down by Pearl Jam - perhaps I'd built the thing up too much in my head - I thought they were going through the motions at times and also guilty of being rather self-indulgent. The set didn't really flow at times either. Eddie's voice was in great shape though and I got to hear and see one of my favourite bands live. I'd rate it 6/10.

Radiohead at Marlay Park last night, however, was something else altogether - absolutely fantastic - the setlist covered the entire back catalogue, thom's voice was in top form as usual - how does he do it after so long I wonder?! Sound quality for an outdoor gig was very good. Overall I'd rate the show 9/10.

Here is the setlist:

01 Airbag
02 2+2=5
03 The National Anthem
04 My Iron Lung
05 Morning Bell
06 Videotape
07 Nude
08 There There
09 The Gloaming
10 Pyramid Song
11 Paranoid Android
12 Just
13 All I Need
14 Idioteque
15 Lucky
16 How To Disappear Completely

Encore 1:
17 Like Spinning Plates
18 Bangers 'n Mash
19 Karma Police

Encore 2:
20 Everything In Its Right Place
21 Creep
