Mirella. She still runs that as a fb group and regular email chains

The list was called bugs

Ed brought her up on stage In Amsterdam a few years back and played Bugs live on the pump organ for her.
It was brilliant. She was over the moon. We all went back and Stayed over in her place that night. Can’t descrive how happy she was

I just respect the hell out of Mike McCready so much, and would like to see any of his endeavors succeed because I know it's coming from a good place. I wish it was a better night for them.

Yea a couple of his social media posts seemed as though he was upset/disappointed with the turn out. i feel bad for him.

Love McCready, Duff, Chad, Josh, Brandi...Taylor kind of bothers me but he's having fun.

But I have no interest in watching them playing Bowie, Van Halen and Queen party rock covers

yeah, i dunno if i would even go to that if it was a local show, but i don't think i'd be the target for this.

i don't know what the capacity was for this show, but i'd be willing to bet it was too big. seems like a show that should have been in a theater that sat like 1500 max. you're also asking a lot of people to drive a long way for that list of musicians above, unless you expect the entire town of Big Sky to show up, which I'm guessing is delusional.

yeah, it was weird if he thought it was going to be a smash. He didnt even make publicity about it.

He did online and locally around Seattle and MT, but I think everyone was so into his recent art installation that they forgot about this

Shocking that a concert featuring an all star cast of lesser known members of decades old bands in Montana did not draw.

Playing fucking VAN HALEN songs, no less.

Serious delusions of grandeur.

it's strange that the keyboardist is facing away from the band...

and WHAT A BUNCH OF BURNOUTS!

I'm listening to Unplugged. I haven't listened to any Pearl Jam in a while, especially the early stuff. I might feel a Pearl Jam binge coming on.
