pearl jam sucks now

What is the most covers they’ve done in one show?

Seattle 1 had 9 covers. I'm not quite sure if that's a career high though.

[Simple Torture]

I would love a show Patriot tonight.

The soundcheck was actually half Ed solo and then the second half was the full-band, C-Average version.

Way to ruin my vibe.

Solo Ed Patriot > full band Patriot >>>>>> slow tempo, Ed + Matt version from 2003

[Birds in Hell]

slow tempo, Ed + Matt version from 2003

The only good version.

I like all versions of Patriot, give me any of them.

I'm excited to follow along with tonight's show so I will refrain from calling you a dunderheaded, monarchy-loving fool for this opinion. Whoops!

Where’s a good place to pre-game?

GA gates at 5, says show is at 730...is 830 more realistic?

Between 8:30 and 8:45 for the first few shows of the tour.

Agreed, if only because the oddball arrangement is enough of a wreck to distract from the nauseating lyrics.

I only know one party
And that is freedom



I'd rather hear "Future Days."

[Simple Torture]

I'm going to have to fight KD and Spenno today and it has nothing to do with vinyl vs. CD

[Bi_3]

additional soundcheck:

garden , immortality, not for you , hail hail

[evenslow]

hail hail

8/29/00 Patriot is the best Patriot

It definitely sounds the best. What stinks is that both this and the the one version of TYAAM from that tour both have lyrical flubs. Still great performances.

A hundred bucks says they do some sort of Aretha tribute tonight.

I'll give you a million dollars if you can correctly predict how Ed will misspell R-E-S-P-E-C-T.
