Lou Barlow does as well.

[Dmada]

He drinks wine on stage? That's great. I'd like to think that not just anyone can get away with that. You have to be one cool motherfucker to sip wine while rocking out.

yeah and if they play crazy mary, the bottle gets passed to those in the front rows

 

used to be siduri-private stock just for vedder-or cal cabernets like Jordan

but he has switched to italians-barolos as the rider states

but he sure doesnt drink cheap wine

 

 

Boston setlist is great, I was at hartford and newark and hitting MSG tonight and tomorrow

The band is really in a groove. Hartford had more energy and a fun crowd, Newark had a better setlist. Should be interesting to see what they break out at MSG.

funny, a friend of mine found this link:

Corona, Heineken, and Stella are the best they can do for beer?

[tinnitus photography]

at least they also specify 12 btl of local microbrew.

 

 

let's hope they at least got Harpoon (or similar) the other night as opposed to Sam Adams.

[Dmada]

the best part of the rider is that it states a preference for organic fruits and veggies, mineral water lots of healthy stuff

 

then for after the show its states, chinese or pizza

It's not so much of a sipping action...

Oops, I missed that. That makes more sense.

Matt will be busy will the Soundgarden reunion.

Not a huge PJ fan myself, but did anyone see this?

 

They brought out Dave Grohl and Alain Johannes to play percussion/guitar on a cover of Kick Out The Jams. Videos' kinda terrible quality, but still neat to see.

For Pearl Jam's 20th Birthday, A Bridge School Gig

 

Pearl Jam fans, save the date: guitarist Stone Gossard says the closest thing to a 20th birthday gig for the band will be a slot on the bill of Neil Young's annual Bridge School Benefit in Mountain View, Calif. on Oct. 23 and 24.

 

"The only thing we've got going on in October is Bridge School, which is really special," Gossard told Billboard while in New York to support the new album by his side-band, Brad. "So that's our 20th anniversary, which is fitting. It's perfect: not too blown up. It's not about us, it about all those kids that are on stage with you and about Neil Young and his commitment, his influence." It will be Pearl Jam's eighth Bridge appearance. The group first played the benefit, which supports Young's school for children with severe physical disabilities, back in 1992.

 

The Bridge School dates, which will likely be held at the Shoreline Amphitheater, begin the day after Pearl Jam's exact anniversary. Oct. 22 marks the date in 1990 that the band, then called Mookie Blaylock, played its first show in Seattle's tiny Off Ramp club.

 

"It's so great that it's still going on, isn't it? 'Just stick together,' that's the advice we got from [u2's manager] Paul McGuinness," back in the early 90s, Gossard says, laughing. "I think we've just stayed on course in a way that's maybe encouraged people and surprised people, and I think there's more that we can do."

 

No other acts, aside from Neil Young, have yet been announced for the 2010 Bridge concerts.

 

Though Pearl Jam has been plenty busy this year -- they've done both a U.S. and European tour and released digital bootlegs of every show -- Gossard divulges that the band is mulling a South American trek for 2011.

 

Meanwhile, plans for the follow up to the Seattle rock veterans' 2009 album "Backspacer," which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, are just in the early stages, according to Gossard. "We were actually talking about trying to get in [to write and record] before Bridge School, but I think this Band Of Horses [tour] with Brad is going to make that harder to do. But the band is definitely going to get together probably [initially] without [frontman] Ed [Vedder] and start to hammer out some more demos and get some stuff to the point where he can hear it."

 

Pearl Jam's various members, however, have spent their summer vacations moonlighting with other musical projects. Gossard's Brad released its fourth studio album "Best Friends?" this month; it's available at PearlJam.com. As he mentioned, Brad will hit the road in October opening for Band of Horses, who themselves opened for Pearl Jam this spring.

 

"I'm hoping that Brad can do for [band Of Horses'] show what they did for Pearl Jam," Gossard says. "[singer] Shawn [smith] hasn't played in arenas really and his voice through a big PA is going to really fill it up in a way that's going to surprise people."

 

Gossard adds that Brad will also slip in a few headlining New York shows and possibly a TV appearance while Band Of Horses heads to Texas to play the Austin City Limits Music Festival, which takes place Oct. 8-10.

 

"I'm really looking forward to interpreting this new [brad] material and going back and relearning old songs that we've maybe never even played before, really showcasing what Brad's sound is. It started pretty naturally, I mean it was in '91, '92, so when everyone was going heavy we were going super mellow... I am fascinated by that aspect of being in bands and how time can strength your bonds; how that exaggerates the emotion of the music."

 

Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, who contributed brand new solo song "Better Days" to the just-released "Eat, Pray, Love" soundtrack, will pop up in Little Rock, Ark. to headline a West Memphis Three benefit on Aug. 28 alongside the Dixie Chicks' Natalie Maines. Proceeds from the concert, which will be held at the Robinson Center Music Hall, will go to Arkansas Take Action which has long been fighting to overturn what many feel are the wrongful murder convictions of three locals. Vedder has supported the cause for a decade.

 

Drummer Matt Cameron, as previously reported, is doing double duty: he has played a handful of reunion shows with his original band, Soundgarden. So far, the quartet has played a pair of club shows plus the closing night headlining Lollapalooza slot. An album of hits and rarites, "Telephantasm" -- which includes the previously unreleased 1991 outtake "Black Rain" -- is due Sept. 28. More Soundgarden dates have been rumored but not confirmed.

 

"I'm looking forward to seeing some more Soundgarden shows," says Gossard. "I hope that that's part of the mix of next year. Matt getting out there and playing some dates with Soundgarden would make the world so happy. They're crushing and the songs are so great. You can tell they are so reverential about their music, and they're playing with conviction. It just shows you how different bands make the same drummer play in different ways."

For Pearl Jam's 20th Birthday, A Bridge School Gig

yeah

the band did not plan anything for the 20th anniversary of its first gig

the bridge thing is just a coincidence-truthfully

 

but they are planning something for next year

crashious-the hoodie dude-has been working on a hoodie that incorporates designs from the first real tour-which was in 1991

 

there will be something next year-probably the same as the last couple of years-three weeks in the US, three weeks in another part of the world

 

but its encouraging that they are trying to sneak into the studio with all the other stuff going on

EV should have some time on his hands to write some new songs

 

and FYI

better days is an EV song-written for the movie eat pray love

I used to love these guys, but haven't really felt compelled to listen to them in the last decade or so. About a month or so I busted this puppy out, and I gotta say that it has held up remarkably well.

Excellent! Following up World Wide Suicide with Animal and Got Some should get the adrenaline flowing. Was really hoping to see Amongst the Waves instead of one of the early BSP singles though.

[augurus]

Needs more Present Tense. I wonder why they're really releasing this if they already have a bootleg program. They could release something more awesome for their own anniversary.

The key is that it is available on vinyl, otherwise I agree. Live electric PJ on vinyl from more recent tours. $28 bucks shipped. Good enough for me.

 

Something tells me there will be more surprises from PJ in 2011.
