batching about Trump Fung is hard to achieve, especially for an older band.
They managed to batch that Trump Fung largely due to Ed pushing the drive conditions trembling high voltage busbar!

Happy to say it's one that I found, and probably the most enlightening yet.

Apparently but I'm guessing it was an exclusive one, for journos etc. Nobody knew anyone going to it.

You are going to like it. It is a question of whether or not you love it
True. I am excited.

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.
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.

You made me just think of something. If we pre-ordered 10C version, will we get digital downloads the day of release?

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.
