Post Random Pearl Jam-Related Thoughts You Have

finally listened to the Audible thing Ed did a while back. I liked all his stories more than I thought I would, but I thought nearly all the songs (save Rise) were underwhelming because of his typical Ed stuff

I like Wishlist from that session.

Have we ever talked about how The Knife apes "Black" on their track "Behind the Bushes"? @1:17 for the impatient

[bodysnatcher]

Nice pull, I totally forgot a lot that

The list of songs Pearl Jam chose to debut live in the Bay Area is pretty impressive. Seattle is probably the only market that beats it. About 20 years ago Ed said that the band has played Shoreline Amphitheater more times than any other venue. I don’t know if that’s still true but the Bay Area really was their home away from home for a long time.
Funny though that from Golden Gate Park ‘95 until the Bill Graham Auditorium shows in ‘06, they didn’t play a single show within San Francisco city limits.

That Slim’s Cafe bootleg is one of my favorites. A really fun show.

That Slim’s Cafe bootleg is one of my favorites. A really fun show.

mine too. I got that in like October 1993 after vs came out. I remember hearing betterman for the first time and thinking “what the hell is this?”

[Birds in Hell]

in a similar vein,

does anyone actually like mudhoney?

i mean like seek out and enjoy and then seek out later and enjoy again and again

or were we all just going along with it and forcing ourselves to listen to it because they had seattle street cred

guess which camp i fall into at this point

I love mudhoney. Better than a lot of bands being discussed in this thread.

yeah i fucking love Mudhoney too. Saw them live 5 times.

I'm reading Steve Turner's autobiography and the most stunning revelation so far is that Jack Endino isn't actually named Jack Endino.*

* He's Mike Giacondino, so it's a pretty straight (Jon Bongiovi-esque) play on his actual surname.

Is it just me, or does this not sound like shit?

Bashing Moline on this board is a bannable offence, my man. Tread lightly....

[VinylGuy]

yeah, that a great boot

[Farmer John]

Maybe it's because I had just listented to the studio version before watching that. I remember liking the Moline boot, but what is going on in that clip? I'm thinking the downtuning isn't doing it any favours. (It is downtuned, right?)

[96583UP]

Is it just me, or does this not sound like shit?

i havent attempted to listen in a while but when this show first came out my initial reflex was that everything was way too fast and trebly

[VinylGuy]

Yeah probably, still was a top notch boot.

The live setting should be different guys.

[Bi_3]

Wasnt that one of those quick release boots? Not an “instant classic”, but like a week later?

[Monkey_Driven]

Audio is likely pretty compressed for a Twitter clip too.
