[Farmer John]

Richard Stuverud plays like if Jack Iron's favourite drummer was Dave Abbruzzese.

[warehouse]

damn that stuverud guy sounds awesome. his kit compared to matt's is so small

Is it his kit or Josh’s?

it's probably Josh's, but I think part of the difference of the sound is the kit.

[CopperTom]

. Ed was also moody and I want to know why

He hasn't fired a drummer in a while and has to get in his mental space.

Not a bad way of putting it

[wease]

Guys, that fucking jammed. Fuck

[wease]

Sounds too good.

No. I know this is your dream but nah they're with Matt.


But like I said it's beyond the drummer thing. Really. Don't know how to explain it burned is focused. The band is right. They're excited to be playing again. It shows.

I don't believe they'd ever cut Matt loose.

But I cannot believe Stone and Jeff (at least) haven't been thinking some thoughts these last couple of days.

It's wildly obvious how good and energised the band have sounded these last two nights, like they've tapped into something they almost forgot about. It happened by pure chance - but it happened and now they know. They know.

It's not about Matt not being a super drummer, but you lucky folks saw PEARL JAM the last few nights.

Goddamn I hate that call and response so fucking much.

Nice to see Jeff so into playing a tune.

When did Stone start playing a 335?

[Birds in Hell]

When did Stone start playing a 335?

It's a Gibson Les Paul Signature, a weirdo (and really cool looking) 70s model:

[VinylGuy]

this band ....i feel we took them for granted so much. They absolutely kill it live. Ed sounds sooooo fucking good....and they have rotating drummers and play WMA? j

Jeeeeesuus christ

[Birds in Hell]

Man, Josh is nailing that slow thump on Smile, first time it's sounded like that since Jack left.

Cool angle on W.M.A. showing Josh and Rich playing together:

[Strat]

You can absolutely tell Josh was/is a super fan. Just the way he plays those drums it's obvious he grew up studying and mimicking

[Strat]

Both him and watt are living my dreams.

Also I really like that I get to share in joy and excitement with spenno because it never happens. Maybe I'll campaign against Matt too.

But I did just listen to LO2L and well it's pretty incredible.

Matt should play like he did in '98.

Cool angle on W.M.A. showing Josh and Rich playing together:

A) that’s my angle of the stage in St Louis. Only I’m pretty sure I’m farther back.

B) Jeff’s totally digging that little drum outro. Ed is too a little bit.

C) that tune is the fucking MVP of the tour

holy fuck that ruled. not gonna lie, i got chills when Ed sang, "All my pieces set me FREEEEEEEE..."

i just hope they don't fuck up the bootlegs for these shows.

As if Ed would take on that task.

this. watching him, i feel like that's how i react when i play pearl jam songs, and he's playing WITH them. i read keidis describe him as nerdy and intellectual so i imagine he knows pearl jam's music inside and out. i wanna hear them do in my tree

I saw Kiedis recently saying Pearl Jam is Josh ´s favorite band.
