Lightning Bolt: the official album thread

[stip]

was it just that one question?

I didn't know that guy had ALS. that's a scary disease

[Django Butterworth]

They are having more on NFL Countdown on Sunday I think.

[Dr. Van Nostrand]

Ok, everyone just sit tight and enjoy. We dont need a leak when we have this:



Courtesy of one of my closest and dearest friends. He took it upon himself to make a greatest hits...

[evenslow]

So the gif is from the Weld video. I thought it was from Hey Hey, My My, but it's not. Chest pounding dude is in Hey Hey, My My, but just nodding along coolly. That being said, like 85% of this video is gif-worthy audience reactions shots. Some of it amazing. At least five shots that would make even better gifs than the chest pounding dude (and I say that with the utmost respect for chest pounding dude).

see seconds 50 through 105, for instance

I think my favorite part is 4:02 - 4:16, when the woman with the glasses and the vaguely nun-like outfit screams "HEY HEY, MY MY!" and then starts pounding her fist.

These people are fucking awesome. So much better than every douchebag with irony or a cell phone camera in the way at every dumb concert now. No barriers just fucking unabashed rock and roll. "I look like an idiot? Oh well, fuck you, this is Neil fucking Young go shove it up your ass I HAVE FISTS TO PUMP AND CHESTS TO POINT AT WITH VIGOR."

Former New Orleans Saints standout Steve Gleason will be featured on ESPN Sunday NFL Countdown this Sunday.

The feature includes a segment in which Gleason interviews Eddie Vedder, the lead singer of his favorite band, Pearl Jam.

ESPN Sunday NFL Countdown airs at 9 a.m. CST on Sunday. The feature will be re-aired on ESPN's E:60 on Tuesday at 6 p.m.

Here's how the network describes the piece:

Steve Gleason and Pearl Jam: As Steve Gleason continues his battle with ALS, the former New Orleans Saints safety is offered an opportunity to spend time and interview the band that he says has provided the soundtrack for his life. In a revealing piece by E:60's Chris Connelly, Gleason discusses meeting lead singer Eddie Vedder and Pearl Jam, and the personal audio diary he has taped for his son.

The feature is reported by Chris Connelly and produced by Mike O'Conner.

Here's a link to ESPN's story and sneak preview of the Gleason feature: Steve Gleason: Soundtrack of My Life.

The whole 20th anniversary thing didn't do that for you?

Fuck yeah. I would take that woman to a concert with me before just about anyone I know.

[Vindicator]

At what time is the q & a thing in Seattle. At least we should be getting some new impressions tonight no?

[stupidmop]

I've just never thought about it, Im mean i know they are all at or near 50 but i didn't pay much attention, and in the last 8 or 10 years as the age has been starting to really show, ed still had long hair to give him a bit of youngness, but seeing that video, and his hair is short and his face is definitely aged, not saying it in a bad way. I don't know, don't mind me, it just hit me there

[bodysnatcher]

Didn't realize the Q & A thing in Seattle was happening tonight. Would have dug further to find out more, but I'll be at a burlesque show. Darn

My son and I just went thru the 4 movies over the last few weeks....what a shock to him (and me!) to go from 3-4.

Good for that audience. Rockin' out to Neil Young!

[Strat]

Ok, everyone just sit tight and enjoy. We dont need a leak when we have this:



Courtesy of one of my closest and dearest friends. He took it upon himself to make a greatest hits...

There is a guy in there right before Big John, he looks like a school teacher or an accountant. He is my favorite.

So is the air drummer.

A lifetime ago, a very young Lament had his own brief moment of unbridled rockin' out passion in this Primal Scream video, at around the 3:34 mark. I'm not on the same level as those people in the Weld video, but I'd like to think I could at least hang with them...

That air drummer is excellent, especially near the end of the video, it needs to be a gif
