The rest just speak to the blend of musicianship and x-factor (see: Ed) that other bands just don't have.

I don't think it's a "Pearl Jam are rawk gods" thing at all. It's down to a type of songwriting. There are a lot of great songs out there (see: Zeppelin, My Generation, some Rolling Stones stuff) that are built more on the creation of a sound and the designing of events within that sound than in the traditional, "sit at a piano or edge of your bed" type songwriting. Lots of people cover Dylan or Neil and do a really good job of it, because they have these "edge of the bed" traditional songwriting methodologies. But not very many people cover Zeppelin, and far fewer cover them or the Stones well. Their songs are built too much on the tones, and the attitude, and the strut and all these ethereal qualities that are unique to them. The only ones that ever succeed at covering them are the ones that break the songs apart and find a whole new sonic canvas for them to exist within.

Also, as with those bands, Pearl Jam has some songs that are more closely tied to their personal core sound than others, and those are going to be the ones that are hardest to find a unique voice on. Which brings us back to: bad choice of song to cover.

I think you just said what I did but in classic TLDR McParadigm form.

Also, there's only two things I do on the "edge of the bed": make love and drink beer. Looks like we're almost out of beer.

I'll be right over

someone needs to make that their avatar.

That looks like a full setlist that has been folded in half, probably to hide the identity of the show name listed at the bottom. This could very well be the setlist for Hartford tomorrow night.

I doubt they'd leak a setlist so far in advance. So many fans count on not having any idea...They put that up on facebook

Isn't that the setlist from Worcester 1?

edit: just saw Bluestate's post. It is.

Hearing other people cover their songs is a great way to put just how good those songs are, or how excellent their interpretation of them, are.

What happens after you see another show?

Hatfield wrote:You people have lost your damn minds. Hearing Mike solo on top of that rhythm section is the highlight of my day. So the country singer didn't do it right? It was a hell of a fun thing to watch/hear. They are some custy bastards in here.

This is what, the 9th or 10th time Mike has played on late night television in 23 years?

Turned it off 5 seconds into the solo?
