last message in the PJ group text

Mike: so we're all doing the face paint, right?

I liked how he repeated "take three" without the face paint on, and then later it appeared in what was being presented as the same take.

[EJ]

they really need to do self pollution style show next

[tragabigzanda]

pearl jam sucks now

[Strat]

I love this band so goddamn much.

yea, i enjoyed seeing such enjoyment from their inner circle of friends and family. Goes along nicely with a really poignant and purposeful/important album.

[VinylGuy]

the song is so good. So fucking good.

[Strat]

Fuck this virus. I want to be on the road with pj so bad.

[VinylGuy]

yeah, i was thinking that yesterday. I was going to see them in Italy with Pixies.

Jesussss

[LikeLukin]

the song is so good. So fucking good.

Indeed it is, the saving grace of it all.

[gardenparty]

This was super cool. So happy to see them having fun and putting some creative effort into the presentation

While it seemed odd to have Josh K in the video, i love the idea of him joining the band on tour as a hired gun.
Very creative, talented dude. Has done lots of work with Jon Brion, Beck, PJ Harvey, Jenny Lewis and more.

[VinylGuy]

yeah, it was weird to have him on the video.

My guesses are that he was going to open for the us tour and play on some Gigaton tracks too.

[epilogue]

This was fucking awesome. I love DotC. I love this band. Just want to echo a lot of what has already been said.

[VinylGuy]

yeah, super happy with the performance and video. Super happy to have PJ doing stuff.

Gush about it now, but tomorrow you're gonna wake up and realize the sheer idiocy of the Electric PJ Acid Test

You’re right!


Oh wait, nope. There’s more important shit to worry about. It was fun and sounded great, and they weren’t the only ones that did that last night. Would have preferred them all together but they’re pushing 60 and don’t want to take chances. I’m guessing Jeff hasn’t even left his Montana bunker.

I never once stated that they should have been in one room.

A live performance where each member was transmitting from different locations would never have worked because of the technological limitations. You couldn't avoid weird delays and latency issues, it would be a complete mess.

This was a pre-recorded "live" song stitched together with the guys having fun miming to it.

For what it was, I thought it was fun, though I can't imagine I'll watch it again.

[Bammer]

I’ll be watching it every single day until touring resumes.

[VinylGuy]

I saw it like 4 times. Every one of them i was smiling like an idiot.

Now im listening to Gigaton.

To put it simpler for you... I just don't want Ed to pretend to be singing, ok. The other stuff is just goofy, uninspired 'creativity' but I don't have as much of a problem with that stuff.

[wease]

Reflecting on yesterday, I woke up happy remembering I saw these guys having fun playing a still great great song.

Can't wait to see them on stage.

There were no live performances on this, so why want the illusion ? Enough with seeing sitting guys playing acoustic sets.

Only dislike : censoring the D word.

He can’t sing about dicks with his daughters standing behind him.

[wease]

I enjoyed it. As for the lip-syncing, who fucking cares? He lip-synced in the Jeremy video, too. This was never meant to be like the self pollution stuff, so quit being pissed because it wasn’t.

That said, I doubt I’ll watch it again. It made me REALLY ready to see a show, tho.

I guess I was under the impression we were getting a live Gigaton song.

Fuck me for having that expectation, and getting whatever that was instead.

[VinylGuy]

it was live. it wasnt the studio track. It was pre recorded like pretty much everything these days.

Jesus.
