Jack Irons would've drummed LTRP very well. For the first time ever, I'd say Dave A. wouldn't have.

Well, in the venue his voice was booming. My wife's first show and she was blown away by his voice (she's not a PJ fan at all). After the show she's like, okay, now I get it. Anyways, I doubt it will translate to the boots/YouTube.

I thought it came across real well on youtube. It's cool your wife dug it.

Yup, all the Youtube vids looked and sounded good to me, even as audience recordings.

After settling in with this one, I feel like this is the best record they've done since Riot Act. That may not be huge competition, but there's quite a bit of inspired stuff on this one.

why did he keep looking to the side of the stage when he was singing LTRP? i thought he'd sing sirens to his wife, not LTRP

Does he have a dog, like Pilate? Maybe he was singing it to his dog.

Just breathe or waving palms would have worked well on this record. Especially after infallible.
Edit. Not waving palms. That guitar instrumental from ITW.

That was exactly the problem. If they're gonna play it they need to make it a campy bluesy number. Not a faster boring rock song.
Yup. That rhythm needs to haaaaang back, man. And Ed needs to be a bit less self-conscious if he wants to channel Marc Bolan.
When did dancing like a 3 year old became self conscious?

He danced like a 3 year old? Maybe I need to watch that vid again.

I'm a bit worried that if BoB's on board, Matt's songs will keep getting turned into The Fixer. For all that that song was fun, I don't want another one.
It would have had a chance of not being horrible if they had stuck more to the spirit of matts demo.

I agree. The demo sounds more quirky a la "Mankind".

Even though the demo is nice, though, didn't it really have no lyrics? So it would've all depended on Ed's lyrics. The music isn't what lets the song down imo. Actually neither are the lyrics, really, I just think they're delivered with too much seriousness.

Ed sounds great for the most part on these Youtube videos from last night. Less vocal inflections.

From the independents review-An intriguing mix overall and further proof that Pearl Jam play by their own rules – a fact that real fans would never want to change.
If only they'd shut the fuck up and listen

I don't find anything inaccurate about that quote, or their review.

He does. And the guitars on Infallible are so much better and dirtier live than on the album. Not sure why they went with a synth/poppy sound on LB.
