    this is for the guy saying he liked eddie drinking the wine ;) took it in Glasgow
    ed2.jpg

    New Pj album in September, thats from Stone Gossards mouth so fingers crossed..

    Theyve played Slane in 93, Cork&Dublin in 96(got to meet Eddie that time:), Dublin 2000, Dublin 2006 so theyre due back and they are coming back for a full scale european tour this autumn after these 4 quick dates..all of which i'm going to..seen em 21 times all round Europe & the US...best live band ever..
    i'd go..
    No Code, Lost Dogs(you HAFTA own this..pure magic!) Yield, Vitalogy, Binaural, Vs, Riot Act, Ten...

    all the live stuffs amazing but Live on two Legs is a good representation of them at that stage (1998)

    Get Live at Benaryoa Hall for a FULL acoustic show. Classic stuff on there :)

    here's me photos from Glasgow 2000

    They played in Cork before, think it was the supporting No Code tour. They also played Slane way back in 1992 if I'm right. I'd say we're unlikely to get anything other than a single Dublin date in future.

    sucks about just 1 dublin show. i saw they are playing london and manchester in august....def would be up for them

    couldnt agree more about lost dogs. great b sides record....shows the funner side of pearl jam. yield and no code are my top 2 fav albums as well. it just shows off perfectly what pearl jam are in my opinion. i have to get my parents to scan my picture in entertainment weekly a few years back. i was pictured in a diary of a pearl jam fan article. was pissed out of my mind with a bottle of wine and these people asked to take my picture. i spotted it in the magazine about 3 months later. hilarious stuff. the magazine is still back home with my parents in america.

    awesome pics and im jealous over the guitar pick, lol. benaroya hall is a great cd. also, their touring band 2000 dvd, live at the garden and imagin in corrice (not sure of spelling) are fantastic live dvds

    ive been listening to given to fly a lot lately. i came up with a great meaning for the song. it sounds to me like a guy is on death row and hes been sentenced to death. death being electric chair. the chorus and how the guitar riff is played, reminds me of an electric shock/burst. way out crazy idea, i know. but pearl jam loves everyone to come up with their own meaning. give it a listen and let me know what you think

    Their best dvd is single video theory..it's skimpy but it's brilliant...he explained given to fly a few times as a guy in an asylum who gets out&you know the rest of the story..so your not far off :)

    never saw that, but heard its awesome. live in showbox is supposed to be good too.

    always got the feel in the beginning of the song, a guy was escaping from a mental institute. a wave came crashing like a fist to the jawwwwwww....delivered him wings, hey look at me nowwww!!!! love that song!

    DimeJinky99, how do you know they touring in Autumn? Gonna be expensive time of year for me then, with Progressive Nation too:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 495 ✭✭dimejinky99


    It's listed on the O2 London venue website, but theyve said in interviews theyll be back to Europe this year & America too..no touring next year cos one of the band is having a baby.

    www.pearljam.com has the info on the 4 tour dates in august.


  • Registered Users Posts: 648 ✭✭✭Neo#


    How hard is it to get tickets? Would I be better off joining the 10 club for $25?

    i wouldnt bother joining the ten club to get tix. it goes by how long people have been a member. the people who have been a member the longest get first shot at tix and its only a certain number set to go to ten club members. im not sure how big it is in europe, but in america, people have been members since like 1991 and if you join now you have like no shot at pit tix or anything. although, its still cool to join and get the xmas single and newsletters :)

    ive been to about 10 of their shows and im not a ten club member. for me, its only worth it if i can get in the pit. floor seating tends to suck because you cant see very well. if im not in the pit, id rather be up in the stands for a better vantage point. but thats just my opinion

    Pearl Jam are the best band ever right.....but Given To Fly is the exact same as Going To California by Led Zep......

    i think the beatles are the best band ever. pearl jam is MY favorite band. everyone is influenced by someone.....never heard the similarity though


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,418 ✭✭✭Jip


    Nah, going to California is a nice and mellow song, Given to Fly is much more angrier with slow and fast bits. Don't see the similarity myself either.

    There are definately similarities there, even the band realise that. Thats why they had a bit of fun with Robert Plant when they played together in 2005, PJ played given to fly and that was immediately followed be going to california!

    It only goes on seniority in the States mostly. I joined in '06 and got pretty good seats in MSG! I find the 10c membership very useful for the European shows as it gives the chance to get tix in a presale, and saves relying on Ticketmaster. Also, you get early entry - so I've been front row quite a few times :D

    I have "Given to Fly" tattooed on my shoulder in Ed's handwriting from the Yield booklet - needless to say I kinda like the song and it beats getting a stickman tattoo :D

    i might have to join then since im not living in ireland :) i cant wait to see them over here. concerts/festivals here have a totally different atmosphere....and better beer!

    yea, stickman tattoo's have been killed. the green disease skull would be a cool one to get. a yield sign too, hahahaha. i got my first tattoo about 6 months ago...i want like 10 more now, haha

    Same here. I wanted to go to Rotterdam as well, but I just can't afford it. Actually, I can't afford the other three either, but sure fúck it. Cannot wait.


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 6,817 ✭✭✭jenizzle


    There is a meet-up arranged for the Manchester!

    See here. There isn't one arranged yet for the London show but no doubt there will be! Tribesman, you should go it alone if you have to! I went to see them in lots of places on my own... sometimes there's no better way!!

    i hate flying alone...thats my only gripe, lol. also, money might not allow for it....but ill try my best. i need to tailgate with some vino though, haha


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,685 ✭✭✭Tom65


    Just booked my flights. I'll get on a hostel for Berlin soon enough (any recommendations?).


    For a while there, I though Springsteen was replacing Pearl Jam as the band/artist I was madly obsessive over. Since these concerts have been announced it's been nothing but PJ. It's good to be back :D:p
