Shitter's full!

Listening to this, falling in love with Pearl Jam once again. That Breakerfall What a great song if played tight and given some energy by Ed

I enjoyed that, Mike. Thanks for posting.

Someone do a compilation of all of Ed's Breakerfall intro screams so we can vote on the best one.

I listened to Binaural today.

It's just so good. So good!

Their recent Masters of War covers are really good.

Definitely. That 1-2 punch of Masters of War/Patriot has been something I've listened to quite a few times.

With all the hubbub over Gigaton, I've been listening to Pearl Jam pretty regularly for the first time in a few years. In the past couple weeks I've played variable-sized portions of San Diego 11/7/95, Barcelona 11/21/96, Melbourne 3/5/98, Inglewood 7/14/98, Boston 8/30/00, Portland 7/20/06, the "Rarities Unreleased Cuts" promo, and an assortment of scattered tracks I have on my computer. I've said this before, but when I come back after an extended period of not being 24/7 neck-deep in this stuff, my critical inclinations just melt away when I listen to it -- it's just such a happy place for me.

San Diego 11/7/95 was one of those shows I had on silver-disc bootleg in the '90's (the bootleg was called "Monkeywrench" and had the Monkeywrench Radio guys yakking over all the song intros). I'd forgotten that this was the show where Eddie changed the lyrics to "Glorified G" to "glorified version of I hate this song" multiple times (and indeed it was the last performance of the song until 2003).

I had that San Diego bootleg too. Bought it in Yellow Springs Ohio at a CD booth from some random 50 year old dude with a mullet and a tie dyed Rush T-shirt
Set me back $50.00 ...but I played the shit out of that one
I remember taking an extended drive home just so I could listen to that bootleg in my car.

They covered Can't Explain at that show too.

Awesome

I’ve always appreciated how PJ doesn’t give their tours gimmicky names (Vote For Choice notwithstanding).

It’s just the “Album” tour or the “Year” tour. Simple, straightforward, I like.

Man. That Lightning Bolt tour had a lot of legs.

I'm in the same boat. This new album release has sent me back to albums/shows and like you said it is such a happy place. I don't have to parce or think, I can just be. For example 9/11/05 is pure listening pleasure.

Same here
Haven't listened to this much PJ in years

Put on Vs a few nights back and for the first time ever, I noticed the laughing during the last few seconds of WMA. I’ve been playing the album regularly since the day it was released and 25+ years later, it still reveals something new with every listen. Amazing album from an amazing band.

I am listening to one of the 2000 shows this morning (Dallas) and really enjoying it, and I came here to make essentially this post that I now realize I already made 8 months ago. There are times when I feel like I never want to hear another note of Pearl Jam music again, so familiar I am with it all. But other days, everything about it just takes me to the happiest of places. Today is one of those latter days. I feel like I could just live in this rote live version of "Better Man" forever.

I feel exactly the same way. I couldn't tell you the last time I listened to a show. Or even the band at all on any kind of regular basis, but after I've been away a while and the mood hits, there's nothing better.
