Red Mosquito

This is the betterman from pj20 unless im mistaken. Does it bug the shit out of anyone else that chunks of the video are from 2006? They must not have had any pro-shot 2010 stuff. The audios all msg 2010 though right?

awesome

That is so good. They look like a garage band still. An exceptionally amazing garage band just bringing their tiny little thing to the people. NO flashy lights. No forced singalongs. Just tearing it up. Insignificance is so great here. The stage seems smaller as well, mike seems annoyed because he doesnt have a track to run around. Ed cant swing from lights.

This is till the real deal and it is in the "latter day" phase.

This is so great.

Watching this now. It's really fucking exhilarating. Great sound too.

fucking long road is so fucking good.

The Soon Forget fuck-up is hilarious.

Good post, Strat. Just started this, wow Long Road is beautiful. Looks like I've got the next couple hours tied up...that 2005 tour was pretty special.

Really? It was regarded really highly as it was unfolding that year. Maybe it gets overlooked because of the massive 2006 tour?

RIP Pj


That Thunder Bay show was one of the best i've seen. Super intense.

Unless I'm high, but since that time I haven't heard a ton about it. That's probably b/c people round these parts love to generalize that they've been shit since Riot Act. 2005 is inconvenient for that argument.

Until now, for some reason. It's all part of the ever-expanding "they haven't been really good since..." thing that will ten years from now include the 2013 LB tour.

This is probably my favourite show out of the 10 or so I've attended. Probably has a lot to do with it being in my hometown and in such a small venue. I've seen so many hockey games in that arena, so it was surreal to see PJ play there.

Matt's a possessed demon during Corduroy. Watch from 34:16.

Bored robot zombie, my ass.

Nobody says he was bored in 2005.

that was awesome but to be fair, I haven't seen that guy much in recent years.

getting old sucks

it does. I wonder how much of what people see as 'boredom' is conserving strength for marathon shows. They are averaging about 5+ songs more from 2005, and that was 8 years ago to boot.

it gets skipped over in the pearl jam has sucked since Binaural and/or Riot Act rant, but when people are actually having serious conversations about the live shows 2005 and 2006 are both spoken of pretty highly.
