I'm excited to see how they interpret these live. I haven't said that in ages. Anyone think there's a chance they might mix some mid-period stuff back into sets? I hope so.

That´s right, but I think with this record you will really see a difference. Just listen to the two versions of Infallible.

Vedder did say in couple of the interviews he was hoping to ge ta little more weird with the setlist. I think songs like infallible and pendulum, mind your manners and fathers son are all dark and moody enough where some of the middle period songs would fit right into a set with them.

Got my 10C Lightning Bolt cd in the mail today. I guess they didn't quite time the delivery of the mail correctly. Oh well!

NEW YORK – October 11, 2013 – Continuing in its tradition of paying tribute to the best in music, NBC’s “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” (Monday-Friday, 12:35 a.m. ET) will highlight Pearl Jam’s extraordinary catalogue for the entire week of October 21-25. The weeklong celebration is timed to the October 15th release of the band’s new album, “Lightning Bolt.” Each night, the show’s musical guest will perform a specially selected song from the band’s expansive discography.

On Monday, October 21, Fallon welcomes Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell to perform the song “Footsteps” with the Avett Brothers. The instrumental of this song previously appeared in a different form as the track "Times of Trouble" in the 1991 self-titled album by Temple Of The Dog, which featured Cornell collaborating with the members of Pearl Jam.

Fleet Foxes frontman Robin Pecknold will give his first television performance in nearly two years when he covers "Corduroy" backed by special guests on Tuesday, October 22.

Wednesday night, country music superstar Dierks Bentley will be joined by Pearl Jam lead guitarist Mike McCready and The Roots for a one-of-a-kind performance. Bentley previously covered "Wish You Were Here" as part of “Late Night's” Pink Floyd tribute week in 2011. His 2009 album "Feel That Fire" features a guest appearance by McCready on the song "Life on the Run."

Pearl Jam closes out the week with performances on Thursday, October 24 and Friday, October 25. These will be Pearl Jam's only television appearances in conjunction with the new album. The band has not appeared on network television since a two-night stand on "Late Night" in September 2011 in support of the retrospective film and book "Pearl Jam 20."

Separately, other guests scheduled to appear on “Late Night” during this themed week include Alec Baldwin and Kevin Connolly (Monday), Johnny Knoxville and Hailee Steinfeld (Tuesday), Julie Bowen (Wednesday), Javier Bardem (Thursday) and Penelope Cruz and Judd Apatow (Friday).

From Universal Television and Broadway Video, “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” is executive produced by Lorne Michaels and produced by Amy Ozols. Gavin Purcell produces.

But it also has to do with growing up and becoming more mature, and then you have a pretty good balance." Vedder thinks part of that maturity is "being less precious about the records and maybe trying to put out more material. The irony is that I'm saying this after taking four years to get this one out. Now I think we've had enough thinking or talking about the past, and it just feels like a good time to be prolific, take advantage of this opportunity. Because it is pretty rare, if nothing else

Great version. Although in parts of that song he kind of looks like Shooter McGavin from Happy Gilmore. Seriously.
How about this... Unplugged is the most important show the band ever played.
It's the only one I repeatedly revisit after all these years :)
Unplugged is awesome but not very important because they refused to release it commercially at the time.
Unplugged is very important because after that performance, Ten soared, songs (other than Alive) were played more often, videos played more often. It was pretty much "the moment" that got us to where we are today. It's been well documented.

After bashing some of the band's marketing, "Hail, Hail," to the World Series announcement, coupled with the latest Ten Club email and PJ week on TV.

I love Sirens. I really don't see the big deal.

Man, I can't wait to hear Getaway and MYM "live" hopefully on Tuesday.
