[Simple Torture]

Is there a live stream for this?

No official stream. People at the Pit are usually good for posting FB live streams etc.

God bless all these people who can’t just enjoy an experience without using it as a way to improve their social media credentials.

What's different about the kit besides just the pure black look?

He is using just one high tom... for the first time in a PJ Gig since what? 2007? Usually he uses two.
There is a new floor tom next to his snare. This one he already had in DotC video.

Wow yea that is so weird!! I wonder what kind of fills we will get then. He does like to go around the kit a fair bit and I know his fills and beats pretty inside out so super intriguing.

not gonna lie, Ed on that RM soundcheck video sounded pretty good. there were a lot of drawn out notes where i fully expected some vowel-mashing and syllable-adding, but instead he just held the note. Ed

My pal just sent me pics. She’s right on the Rail with her pals.. So fuckin happy for her and all them right now. I’d give anything to be there tonight.
Hope this is brilliant.

We'll wait till he has cracked out a few times beforehand.

Throw in one of the traditional set closers (RITFW, Baba, etc.) and this sounds like a significant chunk of time of the band's first show in several years dedicated to paint-by-numbers classic rock covers.

I just don't get it, particularly the Floyd cover.

[Birds in Hell]

Pearl Jam encore, circa 2031 (probably):

Comfortably Numb
Stairway to Heaven
Hotel California
(Don't Fear) the Reaper
Smoke on the Water
Alive
Rockin' in the Free World

Way to get down in it before anything happens

pearl jam sucks now

Omg right?!

That was like two beers ago, but it seemed right. At least he had “out on the porch” and “boxer or the bag” right.


Alas, no potato wave

I realise a playing a bunch of covers has now become standard for the band over the years, but I still think it's strange.

I can't think of any other bands of their stature with a deep catalogue of their own who rely on 'hey, you guys all know this one!' covers, like a party/wedding band.

Team Spenno. 1-2 covers at the end is fine. Six covers in the set is too many.

Yes team spenno (who is definitely the originator of this hot take re: covers)

[Birds in Hell]

I think complaints about too many covers have been made since at least the 2003 tour.

[Strat]

Exactly. 18 years now.

I don’t know. It’s just a bummer that some rmers are constantly always coming in and being bummers.

LOL c'mon Strat.
