Red Mosquito

Ed and Glen did a private show in Cannes last night, thread up in Tour forum. Apparently Kelly Slater has a video on Instagram as well, but I don't feel like looking for it at work.

Playing a private show to 200 Hollywood elites, Corporate Executives, and CEOs in a palatial mansion that rents for $70,000+ per week...

but he looks so....WORKING CLASS.

Did he play Soon Forget?

Yes. And he followed it with Fortunate Son.

He's had a haircut. But still looks like a lion.

When you realize Yellow Moon directly alludes to Helpless.

What if Ed had discovered the banjo instead of the ukulele?

they'd be singing along with the banjo

Or the Tea Chest Bass?

Pearl Jam is really 3-4 different bands. The Pearl Jam that I like is not the same Pearl Jam mikejasond likes, and neither of those bands are the Pearl Jam that Stip likes. Pearl Jam is a pretty diverse band.

I think you're overstating it a little bit. It's not like they're a bunch of completely different bands. I reckon the differences would be minimal or even imperceptible to a casual listener.

Mmmm mmmm. I do love some sweet clog action.

You're right, but within the context of pearl jam and the magnification of nuance that defines superfandom he's also not wrong

I think he's right for the most part. A lot of people love Binaural and Riot Act but I hate them, because to me it doesn't sound anything like the Pearl Jam I love (which is from Ten -> Vitalogy). And most of the things I loved about them are completely absent from those albums altogether.

Strangely I do like No Code a lot which seems to be a common opinion despite being also very different from Ten Era stuff.

Maybe we can all come together on No Code.

It's what Frank would have wanted.
