Re: Lightning Bolt - October 15
Pretty much all Pearl Jam songs sound the same live vs. in studio in regards to structure, so I don't understand why people think the song is really going to be all that different.harmless wrote:True.

I'm really curious about LB, because the reviews so far seem to imply that it's the same as the live version except that it's a bit different.

I don't want to have this conversation for the 500th time. PJ do not sound the same live and in studio. Their live performance has diminished considerably over the last few years.Monkey_Driven wrote:Lasers.Coach wrote:Pretty much all Pearl Jam songs sound the same live vs. in studio in regards to structure, so I don't understand why people think the song is really going to be all that different.harmless wrote:True.
