Temple of the Dog - 25 Years

When a band is but a fraction of Pearl Jam, but they aren't zero Pearl Jam.

Yeah, that was pretty effed up... Oh well, I don't need to spend that kind of cash anyway.

Nice reference... I absolutely LOVE the Spree, and would absolutely LOVE what Tuolumne is describing!

Kinda crazy there are zero shows west of Philly until you get to California. They must be sick to death of Ed talking about Chicago.

Chris just played two shows in Illinois, and lots more across the Midwest -- I'm sure he's had his fill for a while.

Really hope I get Seattle tickets, but I was at both nights of PJ20 and Bridge 14, so TotD has shown up at like 15% of my PJ shows. I'd probably have a piss during Hunger Strike at this point.

I was about to post that they treat TotD as a tribute to Andy Wood and work hard not to use it as money maker, but then they DID just roll out the red carpet on these deluxe reissues.

I don't know, you could argue that those are for fans and aren't a cash grab, but not convincingly.

... I guess they just like to keep TotD small.

You measure by venue size. I measure by the number of shows.

Let's call the whole thing off.

Makes sense why the smaller the venue, the better the show

as much as I love the band pearl jam, I'm not pulled to see them without Ed. as a matter of fact, i think id rather see ed solo than this arrangement. hmmpft.

I can't muster up the level of enthusiasm needed to hate it.

I think the TotD album is largely pretty bland with a handful of OK songs, though I suppose the shows could be fun if they include Mother Love Bone and Mad Season material too.
