An hour-long interview with Zane Lowe at their... warehouse/headquarters space, interspersed with some footage of the band rehearsing the new songs.
It was Unlisted (so only people with the video URL could access it) and now they've made it Private.

I would guess someone involved in the band's org leaked the Unlisted URL before they were supposed to and it snowballed, causing management to Private the link when they caught wind. Will probably be posted officially soon.

Zane Lowe asked each of them if there were any songs they've not played in a while that they'd like to break out on tour.
Stone said they've been practicing Can't Keep for the tour.
Jeff would like to play Mirrorball songs w/Neil Young at Ohana.
Matt would like to play Leatherman and Setting Forth on tour.
Ed would like to play Felicity's Surprise (Wellwater Conspiracy).
Mike would like to play a cover from an Aussie band? can't recall. I could've misheard it.

amazing interview. wonderful footage. A treasure trove of gems. Great story/moments with Jeff and Ed at the end reminiscing.
Setting sun to close (not full performance, josh on acoustic)

My initial impression of DM was "this is an album full of 'Force of Nature's"
Honestly, that's not far off.
It never ceases to amaze me how 2 different sets of ears can hear such completely different things when it comes to music - especially Pearl Jam's music
To my ears, there's not a single song on Dark Matter that remotely resembles the overwrought ham fisted steaming hot turd of song that is Force of Nature.
The songs on Dark Matter lyrically and musically easily rise above & soar past anything that was even attempted on Backspacer
Dark Matter is a far superior album to Backspacer & Lightning Bolt
But then again...that's just my ears & my opinion
Well, you like Dark Matter a whole lot more than I do. But to be clear, I didn't really mean to say that the songs sound like "Force of Nature," or are of the same quality; more that they display a similar approach to melody, arrangements and lyrics.
Won't Tell is the only one that kind of feels like this.

All of these would be 100% welcome. "Felicity's Surprise" would be awesome!

I love that Matt's a Leatherman guy! I'm always a little surprised by which Pearl Jam songs Matt likes/wants to play.
He really likes Setting Forth. I remember he was the one who requested to play that one the last time they were playing it on tour (2011 maybe?)

Only had a chance to watch the first 10 minutes, but this is great so far. I feel like I watch this kind of thing (tours of bands' recording studios and such) on YouTube all the time, so it's awesome to get one from PJ.

Can't they just rerecord Dark Matter in their practice space?
