12th album rumors and speculation

[blueviper]

I would love a show with zero songs from Ten or Vs.

I don't know if I could do zero, but 2 - 3 would be good.

[Bammer]

I’ve seen PJ at least one time without any Ten songs.

What if I told you that the most highly sought after PJ concert vinyl features exactly one song from the Ten album.

I find a good way to live PJ reset yourself is to starve yourself for a bit.

In 2003, I saw the band 6 times on that tour, and by Mansfield 3 I really was at the point where I was ticking off songs on my list and maybe a show like that worked for this, but you get spoiled.

Same with the run where I saw them from 2006-2010 at least once a year (2006 x1, 2007 x1, 2008 x2, 2009 x1, 2010 x2), and you get again where you are almost ignoring the staples or waiting for them to pass in the hopes of getting something rare. I did not see them at all between 2010 and 2013 and really was happy with whatever they played. Same with the gap from 2016-2021 - I could care less what I saw at Sea.Hear.Now because I just was wanting to hear it all.

Maybe that makes no sense, but I am in a place that I am not that worried about the song selection except I wish for the pre-COVID marathons because you can never get too much of a great show.

i don't think he had much in the way of fleshed out ideas; I think the producer coaxed melodies and chord changes into songs.

I don't really understand the argument that it's been 2 years since Gigaton was released, it's normal they hardly play new stuff anymore. Listened to Montreal 2000 yesterday (just randomly), that's 5 Yield songs & no Alive, Jeremy & Black. Terrible show.

i was at that show

[Leatherhead]

I've seen Pearl Jam a whopping 3 times.

[liebzz]

I've seen Pearl Jam a whopping 3 times.

I don’t regret and do regret it in other ways. I probably could have taken a couple really killer vacations for the same money.

[Jorge]

Me too

[Ms Harmless]

me three

[liebzz]

It’s not just Pearl Jam sadly where I have a demonstrated need for some sort of therapy (the live music is therapy if you ask me). Setlist.fm, which is not completely accurate has my top 10:

1. Pearl Jam (23x)
2. Ben Harper (14x - 10 with the ICs, 3 with R7, 1 solo)
3. The Black Keys (9x)
4. Dave Matthew Band (9x)
5. The Roots (7x)
6. Bruce Springsteen (5x)
7. My Morning Jacket (4x)
8. Foo Fighters (4x)
9. Sonic Youth (4x)
10. Marcus King Band (3x)

[Watt is] also deep into production on a new album with Pearl Jam, a personal favorite he's seen perform live more than 30 times. All five band members have crowded into his [Beverly Hills] basement together, playing face to face. It follows Watt's work on 'Earthling,' a solo album from bandleader Eddie Vedder, released in February.

Very interesting. Thank you.

So worried about the mix and master of this thing

At least Watt won’t have to do much work to make Matt also sound like a robot

[Monkey_Driven]

Maybe Watt will remember to have a bass part in every song.

[tragabigzanda]

Maybe it’ll be No Code part 2 when they forgot to call Jeff
