    Amazing band so they are. Got into them just in time to see their last concert in Ireland and I was blown away by their performance. I'm a bit annoyed no Irish dates have been announced in the recent tour of Europe to be honest though. I would love to see them play here again soon.

    This small tour is only a bit of a warm up before the new album is released. Don't panic yet. And also, be thankful, they chose 4 places in Europe, they're only playing one in the US and one in Canada. I suspect a full scale European tour will be announced late '09 or early '10.

    You can register for a Livenation presale on their website. Think it's meant to be happening today.

    Tell me about it. For the last concert in Ireland we lined up at 6 int he morning and only about ten people got tickets it sold out so quickly. There were tears a plenty from the people who arrived at 8/9 let me tell you...and the ten club wasn't any better!

    Got tix this morning for the Manchester show in August :cool:- the London show appeared to sell out quite quickly :( Anyway, fourth concert coming up... can't wait!)

    Anyone else travelling?

    As for albums to listen to... try to get some of the live bootlegs from 2000 and 2003 tours - there are very few poor shows out of over 140!!! The live stuff has way more energy than the studio versions IMHO... My favs like RVM, Alive, SOLAT have gotten better with age (and practice!)

    Got me 3 standing tix for the show in london this august, got on right on the button at 9am and got them then a friend who also tried to get them at 9 was left wanting after about 20 mins. checked back half hour later and you cant even get 1 ticket any where according to the ticketmaster website. also another friend is part of the 10c club and got 2 pre-sale for london so 5 of us all heading over now. chuffed its been a while since i've seen them brisbane in 2006 so will be almost 3 years since the last time.

    there's a leak..apparently the new record is called 'the lowdown'

    dunno why i believe it..nobody else seems to but they didnt believe the avacado was the cover of the last one and look what we got!

    doesnt sound like an optimistic record but Pjs album titles rarely reflect their content..Vitalogy excluded of course..

    And Vs. and Binaural :D:p

    Where'd you hear this leak? I don't really invest much stock in rumours about album/song names. It doesn't really matter too much what the album is called, as long as the songs are good...unless the album is called "Pearl Jam fans are pr*cks" or something. That seems unlikely though :p

    They won't be adding more dates to this leg of the tour - you'll have to wait for the next tour announcement.

    And Kasabian are useless :P

    i saw kasabian/glasvegas/muse last summer at marlay park. thought they were brilliant in my opinion. to each their own though, lol.

    i think pearl jam needs to change the ten club ticket thing. just because someone signed up for a club 18 years ago doesnt make them bigger fans than people who didnt. i think it should just be random like every other concert. i understand they want to give back to their biggest fans. but im a big fan without being a member of the club. it might be different here, but in america, the same ****ers get good tix everytime. id rather be in the back with the regular people anyway, lol. thats my rant for the day.

    The seniority doesn't apply in Europe, except the odd time they offer seated options, so it's nothing for us to worry about much. I like being in 10c so that I have a second chance to get tickets, and don't have to rely on TM to get them. And while it's fine being back with the "regular people", there is nothing more magical than being front row at a PJ show - it's something every fan should get to experience! I got to do that in '06 in Dublin which was my first and by far the best show I have been to. :cool:

    PistolPete - I think tickets.de is their version of TM. Plus it's listed on the PJ home page as an official place to get tickets, I wouldn't worry about it at all!

    too bad ill never get a chance for front row tix :( was in the front row for 2 travis shows though, and it totally makes the concert. it made me realize its not even worth going anymore unless i know i can be close. its almost like your there playing with the band. i wish bands played at smaller venues more often. it makes it a much more intimate experience. id rather have one small show then ten large ones where im a 1/4 mile away, lol

    If you have GA, then you'll always have a chance at front row... as long as you start queuing at 5 in the morning!

    Between getting tickets for the 3 gigs (Berlin, Manc, London) and the "Christmas" single, a Pearl Jam fire has been lit under me. The addiction has returned.

    Incidentally, the John Doe cover with Corin Tucker on the Christmas single is amazing. Eddie's voice goes really well with female singers, as anyone who's heard his cover of Helpless should know and understand.

    The hunger strike, they do as an easter egg on Live at The Garden is awesome, hard sun too. Have them singing a rancid version of Fortunate Son and Free World though, spine tingling bad!

    Haha... and to think there may be a SG reunion?! *shudders*

    Incidently, there is a version of Hunger Strike with Cornell singing with Chester Bennington and it's pretty nifty. The best of all the versions I've heard anyway!
