Thanks! I've actually seen fake dates on their message board.

 

Coincidentally, after I listened to Backspacer Saturday night I put on FlashFoward on my dvr. The first thing that I heard is The End. Very strange at the time.

yeah that thread is a joke, not the real dates

but a reliable source tells me NE dates are being held in may

of course its not 100%, just that the band is looking at dates in May

yep they had two songs on flash forward, unthought known and the end

now if they would just release those philly boots I could get on with my life

.

 

Now, time to look at the calendar and think of when Pearl Jam will come to Boston.

may is the rumor for the east coast

I hear they're playing Red Mosquito on an almost daily basis again, and All Those Yesterdays is finally in set lists, and not acoustic!

they were playing red mosquito at every show where ben harper opened

all those yesterdays was played at one of the four philly shows

be nice if it was in the regular rotation when they come around again in the spring of 2010

they played a ton of rare tunes in Philly-some great, some not so much

I was there Wed and Fri.

Fri was simply one of the best PJ shows Ive seen

and the 10C setlist is missing alive, sonic reducer and baba-the last three songs on Friday

getting psyched for Philly!

caught ratdog on Tues night in NYC

and I have to say it was one of the better RD shows Ive seen

Don't forget Shelley Finkel!

 

Bushnell shows were always great. JGB crowd back then was more of a biker/older/melower crowd, too. Philly wasn't a far drive at all, as with SPAC. Even darted into NYC to Beacon for a JGB early show on a Tues. school night (high school) once....

Shelley Finkel

forgot spac, man some crazy times up there

yeah I never did NYC until 87, not sure why, probably because they hit hartford so often on the way or right after

Memorable trips for me during high school was to hampton spring 85 and 86-man did I end up in the doghouse after sneaking away for those shows.

I feel lucky to have caught all of the bushnell shows starting in 83 (it was actually the 5/30/83 show that got me hooked on jerry's guitar playing)and what can you say about the acoustic shows-beautiful sloppiness-if that makes any sense

Relative home base here, as well, back then (New Have area). We lucked out living there with soooo many shows hitting the N.E. area and easy driving access....

yeah no doubt some great shows in the 80s-thanks Jim Koplik and cross country concerts

hartford, new haven (RIP Coliseum-I saw many great shows at that dump in the 80s), springfield, providence, and

worcester, and even philly, albany and boston-all relatively close

but you could always count on a couple of shows in hartford, and Jerry at the bushnell-man those were some of my favs

Hartford Civic Center, Hartford, CT (10/15/83)

I remember anticipating the "Stephen" out of Space as they'd done it (and a similar second set) at MSG a few nights earlier. The build up to it still sends shivers down my spine....

I was at that show-hartford was my home town base for dead shows

many a good show at the ole hockey rink

what a treat

and I still remember ole jer singing that china doll

a song that I hope will remain untouched by the various post dead incarnations

good band

I like all the records thus far, and have enjoyed many a spoon show

but, they need to get the new one out already

i can't remember the titles - aren't there only 2 more acoustic based tracks - those.

his voice sounds like it always has on the more rocking songs, but it sounds different on that.

maybe it is a different voice - i never heard the Into the Wild stuff.

maybe all of it sounds like that.

 

there are some odd - unnatural vocal sounds to me.

I think you are talking about just breathe

rumor has it EV had a head cold when he recorded just breathe, it does sound different

perry farrell joined PJ onstage last night for a rocking version of "mountain song"

I cant wait to hear the entire version

It has an overall muddy/murky sound to it that really turns me off. I don't hear balance. I like those songs a lot more in a live setting.

the first six records are all great

binaural took some time to appreciate, but no question-those songs really shine live

but its a great record

Im so so on riot act, its definitely the one I reach for the least

but that being said, it has three songs on it that I never get tired of

cant keep, save you and all or none

Grateful Dead to Rise in New York Exhibition

2009-10-02 15:50:07.587 GMT

By Dave Itzkoff

Oct. 2 (New York Times) -- Though the Grateful Dead are most

closely associated with the Haight-Ashbury district of San

Francisco, the Upper West Side of Manhattan can briefly lay claim

to that industrious and ever-evolving band in the weeks and

months ahead. In March, the New-York Historical Society will open

an exhibition on the Grateful Dead that will trace its history

and cultural influence. In a release, the society said that the

exhibition, to be called "The Grateful Dead: Now Playing at the

New-York Historical Society," would feature artwork, posters,

marionettes and other stage props as well as banners and

decorated fan mail from throughout the band's 30-year career.

Prior to its opening, the society will hold a fundraising event

that will be attended by the Grateful Dead members Phil Lesh and

Bob Weir, where items from the Grateful Dead Archive at the

University of California, Santa Cruz, will be previewed. More

information on that event, which is scheduled for Oct. 21, will

be available online at nyhistory.org.

Rumor has it that target paid PJ $5 million (i.e. advance order of 1 millon copies at $5 per unit). The band is said to get $5 per copy for any sales over one million-not that its likely. Should be some steep discounts in the future as target tries to move these units.

the setlists on the current tour look terrific

again you mention a coldplay comparison for "unthought known". are you deaf, or do you just think that a rock band incorporating a piano makes them sound like coldplay? surprised you like wilco, they use a lot of piano.

...sorry if that was a little harsh, not really trying to start a message board argument, but that statement is just ridiculous. it sounds like PEARL JAM! and that song is going to be epic live. easily a standout track on the album.

 

 

...i had to edit this, i didn't even read the whole thing, just saw the coldplay comparison again. anyway, i see now that you are going to the seattle show tonight? hopefully they play "unthought known". if they do, please come back and let us know how it sounded live.

whoa nelly!!!

take it easy man I am deaf so be kind-

just kidding

Sorry, but I close my eyes and I can hear Chris Martin singing this song-its got that over-produced grand arena rock sound which I just dont like-same with amongst the waves. I enjoy the piano with some bands, but not PJ.

I was not at the show last night, but I did see some vids of unthought, and the keys were almost non-existent-perhaps I will like it better when I hear it live. I loved when ed played it solo acoustic in new jersey last year. The production on the fixer, unthought and amongst are not to my liking tis all. But hey, Im glad you enjoy them.

I'm still waiting for my 10c copy to arrive

 

I did get my hands on a copy though and have been listening. I still think Got Some is the best song on the ablum, but i do love amongst the waves, just breathe, and force of nature a lot too.

 

Some of these may be better live. A lot of folks seem to love unthought known and it just has not captured me yet.

yeah

im not big on unthought known HATE the piano-coldplay anyone?

bummer about the 10c copy

Johnny guitar is my fav on this record. Vedder lets it rip on that song.

Seattle show tonight.

Was the Sunday release meant for Target stores only? I got my copy at Newbury comics which is anything but "Big Box"

 

target, Itunes, 10c and independent record stores.

the "vault" shows are all from like '04-'05-'06-'08 and have all been released already. it's lame

thats just for the target and record store versions

they have not yet opened the link for the 10c version

and that list you mention includes two of the best shows in the last few years

grand rapids 06

hartford 08

a nice little bonus imho

Just picked it up at Target today (why the Sunday release date?). I had to ask someone for it, who then realized that it was supposed to come out today and started stocking them.

 

Aside from the Pearl Jam cover, the artwork for the last three albums has been horrible.

the band has become very indulgent when it comes to the artwork (i.e. they let ament do his thing or another artist)

some of the new artwork is cool, some of it, not so much

but i would not say its hideous

They were very vague about the delivery details on all fronts. I am not pleased with the distribution this time around.

same as usual

they sent the 10c versions out a day or two earlier-most that pre-ordered from the 10c had it before every one else

and have faith

there will be free downloads for the 10c pre-orders, probably a better selection!

just a little late and less than forthcoming with details-as usual

Anybody know the specifics of Target's "Deluxe Edition"?

 

Thought I heard something about access to live downloads (??????)

you get two free concert downloads with the target version

target deluxe version comes with the concerts and rockband tracks

I would add my vote for the Wappingers Falls NY show.

I've listened to both Brooklyn and Red Rocks and I still think this one is a better overall sounding recording and a very well played show.

+1 great show
