Gigaton: Official album thread

[VinylGuy]

Im guessing, DOTC, Quick Escape, 7 O Clock, River Cross and Retrograde.

Maybe Who Ever Said, SW and some acoustic number or mid tempo one like Alright or Buckle Up.

there are a few crowd videos up from last night. ive only seen a few of them (dance, qe, sbwm, alive) but the new songs work really well and the whole band sounded great. quick escape was an early highlight

[Ms Harmless]

someone live streamed the whole thing on Facebook, it was great; I shared it

The new songs live have an energy that goes beyond what I anticipated, and I'm an optimist. DOTC was somehow the weakest of the bunch, but if you watch or listen to it, it sounded great. 7 O'Clock, Quick Escape and SBWM were all incredible for me, and TTLW wasn't far behind. Never Destination could use a little work in my opinion- both The Who flavor in that bridge section and the Tom Petty flavor in the end were a little watered down. But I have to say, new Pearl Jam songs performed live haven't had this kind of energy for me since 2003. This tour could be something very, very special. I can't wait to hear Whoever Said!

I have been listening Gigaton a lot these days, still love it so much.

7 O Clock is so fucking good.

[PHATJ]

I hadn’t listened to any PJ in at least six months, probably longer. I watched the video clips of the Gigaton songs from last nights show and was really encouraged that this could be a fun tour. Anyhow, I’m excited to hear all these new songs played several times and interested in seeing how the addition of Josh K. changes anything. I want some high quality concert videos!

Awesome sauce. They performed the hell out that song. So good.

This is maybe the most I've ever been impressed by current-day live Pearl Jam.

If I’m really honest, the last time I was this impressed by something current that PJ did was probably that VH1 Honors The Who performance. They sound fucking great.

[PHATJ]

So just saw this footage for the first time. This audio is a lot better than what I heard last night. Holy Hell. These performances are fire. Especially Quick Escape. I’m just astonished and thrilled at how well they’re playing and how good it all sounds. Freaking awesome.

[Leatherhead]

I don't think Eddie was expecting the jam to last so long at the end of Quick Escape.

Lol! Get fuckin used to it, Ed! Shit.

[Ms Harmless]

I'm still stunned by how good that first show back was

I enjoy Gigaton even more since hearing those live versions, and that's the biggest compliment I could pay to Pearl Jam at this point in time

I know it’s off-topic in this thread, but check out the performance of Present Tense if you haven’t seen it yet. There’s a yt video of the end of corduroy, Ed talking, and then Present Tense, and I swear this is THE live version of that song that I always wanted to hear.

Yeah, I was lucky enough to see the whole show (thank you Tom Jones), but the audio is better in various yt videos I’ve been watching in the time since.
