At least we can settle once and for all the "what Pearl Jam album is best" question.

I was always on the #NoCode train.

“After some 46 years of happy times and countless sound recordings, Doppler Studios is closing,” a note posted on Doppler’s Facebook page and signed by the owners and staff read. It gave no reason for the closing, but ended with a quote from “Toy Story’s” Buzz Lightyear: “To infinity and beyond!”

The genre-busting roster of acts who recorded there includes Aretha Franklin, Pearl Jam, OutKast, the B-52s, Mariah Carey, Usher and Stevie Wonder.

Now I'm curious which Pearl Jam recordings were done at this location; it is not Brendan O'Brien's studio. Maybe parts of Vitalogy?

Apparently Yield, according to Discogs.

Parts of Vitalogy, Yield, and Backspacer. Possibly Lightnin Bolt too but nothing is listed

This was kinda buried in the latest newsletter. And I take it on myself to counter all the Moneygrab talk because I'm a PJ Justice Warrior.

So far, $789,473.58 has been raised from the 2016 tour to support the efforts of non-profit organizations doing commendable work in the fields of community health, the environment, arts & education and social change.

Thanks for all you do PJ!!

Yeah, that's pretty cool.

Firepole maintenance is at least $50K of that.

Randomly decided to listen to PJ radio on the way to work this morning. It had been a long time as I have been on a big spotify kick lately (so many good bands) but it was nice to be reminded of how much these guys rock. I was kind of shocked to see such a popular forum dedicated to nothing but Pearl Jam (well kind I guess), but then again it's not all that surprising considering how many fans they have. I mean, they do have their own xm station lol.

jesus h christ.

CAMARILLO, CA - Pearl Jam’s longtime tour provider, Rat Sound, carries a large-scale, 360-degree L-Acoustics K1/K2 rig for the band's North American tour. “The K1/K2 system covered extremely well in-the-round to a sold-out tour,” says Rat Sound Crew Chief Tom Worley. “Having the continuation of a large format box on the main hangs and adjustable horizontal coverage with K2 allowed Greg? [Nelson, FOH engineer] and Andrew [Gilchrest, FOH/systems tech] to achieve exceptional results."

More details from L-Acoustics (www.l-acoustics.com) and Rat Sound (www.ratsound.com):

CAMARILLO, CA -- For more than two decades, Pearl Jam has tirelessly defended its title as one of rock and roll’s most ardent and celebrated live acts, and the band’s recent 2016 North American trek only served to underscore that fact. With the group delivering high-octane, three-plus-hour performances to packed arenas night after night, Pearl Jam’s longtime tour provider, Rat Sound, knew it needed to deploy a concert reinforcement system that could go mile for mile with the band, which is why it chose to carry an L-Acoustics K1/K2 rig for the outing.

The latest leg’s 17 dates, which marked the first time that Pearl Jam had traversed the US since October 2014's domestic sweep, typically featured a main PA setup comprised of four K2 flown under 16 K1 per side, with adjacent hangs of 12 K1-SB subs, plus 16 more K2 per side providing outfill. Two additional arrays of 14 K2 directed audio to the 270-degree seating areas, while dual hangs of 15 Kara flown between them addressed the seats directly behind the stage for full 360-degree coverage.

Out front, four L-Acoustics ARCS II enclosures positioned on either side of the stage combined with six coaxial 8XT spaced out evenly across the stage lip supplied frontfill, while 16 groundstacked SB28 subs bolstered the shows’ visceral low-end reinforcement. Per spec, all loudspeakers were powered and processed by L-Acoustics LA8 amplified controllers housed in LA-RAK touring racks.

Sound for the tour was mixed on an Avid S6L-32 console by FOH Engineer Greg? Nelson, with Monitor Engineer Karrie Keyes officially making the switch to a pair of DiGiCo SD5s—one primary desk for the main band, and the other for tech mixes and support acts, when present, manned by Peter Baigent, Tom Carisco and/or Kevin Glendenning.

“The K1/K2 system covered extremely well in-the-round to a sold-out tour,” says Rat Sound Crew Chief Tom Worley. “Having the continuation of a large format box on the main hangs and adjustable horizontal coverage with K2 allowed Greg? [Nelson, FOH engineer] and Andrew [Gilchrest, FOH/systems tech] to achieve exceptional results. Seeing that K1 and K2 are the same width and nicely rig together, we also had the ability to easily move boxes around if need be—for example, to move four boxes of K1 to the side hang and vice versa.

“Having K2 for the side and 270 hangs not only gave us consistency throughout the arena but helped minimize poor site lines without affecting vertical coverage and allowed us to keep the sound directed at the audience—not the walls—minimizing unnecessary reflections.”

Worley points out that Gilchrest measured the rooms and designed the systems on a daily basis using L-Acoustics’ Soundvision 3D acoustical and mechanical modeling software. “The results were always spot-on, which gave us the consistency we needed on a tour like this. The K systems were such an integral part of getting the excellent results we had. There are a number of top line arrays on the market, but none have the overall package that L-Acoustics provides.”

With the majority of Pearl Jam’s 2016 North American shows now behind them, Rat Sound will soon also deploy its L-Acoustics K1/K2 rig for the band’s upcoming headline performance at The Ride Festival in Telluride, CO on July 9, and for two shows at Boston’s Fenway Park on Aug. 6 -7. Additional shows include the Pemberton Music Festival on July 14 and Chicago’s Wrigley Field Aug. 20 and 22.

I tried to read that article and all I could delineate was, "Pearl Jam makes sounds on tour with big machines."

Was I right?
