The exceptional quality of the 2005 tour exactly supports the argument for the Post-Riot Act change in the band. There were no avocado songs on that tour and they played an unusual run through a lot of (relatively) small Canadian towns. It wasn't about promotion or attracting fans. It was just the tunes from a great set of 7 albums and b-sidesevenslow wrote:Unless I'm high, but since that time I haven't heard a ton about it.

Until now, for some reason. It's all part of the ever-expanding "they haven't been really good since..." thing that will ten years from now include the 2013 LB tour.

Not really a fan of PJ playing covers, but this is one I'm glad to see back in rotation after disappearing for a while

Such athleticism.
Rock's finest runner of circles, no doubt about it.

Re: Pearl Jam Videos
Ok I had to stop about halfway through
Is that really what it sounds and looks like at these things now? At least the rest of the band can still hack it I guess.

Every time I see that, I pause for a moment to watch the guy in blue who is clearly cheering Ed's very painful looking fall like it's the best part of the show, and wonder which RMer he secretly is.

If you take a close look you can see that Ed's fall is caused by a guy in a white-ish squared shirt near the stairs who's holding a voodoo doll.
