Highjacking an older part of this thread...I'll second that, No Code and Yield in particular are my two favorites. Any and all of their first 5 albums are great. Binaural, Riot Act and Avocado have their moments for sure, but they have this overall downward feeling and I rarely feel compelled to play 'em start to finish. Backspacer "brought back" Pearl Jam for me Not they they ever went away, but it started to feel like Yield was gonna be their last great studio album. Backspacer was instantly likeable with a mix of upbeat sounding, kick ass songs and songs with the broader appeal of Ed's solo stuff.

 

I meant Present Tense from No Code. And I'm probably in the minority of fans that thinks Vitalogy, No Code, and Yield are the best records Pearl Jam have recorded.

Some info from Five Horizons on that 94 Boston Orpheum show:

 

04/12/94 - Orpheum Theater: Boston, MA [130]

support act: Mudhoney

set: Oceans, Even Flow, Sonic Reducer, State of Love and Trust, Hard to Imagine, Immortality/(Hey Hey, My My), Go, Animal, Glorified G, Daughter/(Suck You Dry), Alone, Not for You, Better Man, Rats, Blood

enc: Release, Tremor Christ, Once, Fuckin' Up, Dirty Frank, Yellow Ledbetter, instrumental jam, Rearviewmirror, Elderly Woman, I've Got a Feeling/jam

notes: The crew created this setlist, full of new songs and b-sides. Mark Arm joins PJ for 'Sonic Reducer.' Standout version of 'Immortality.' Ed's comments: "This is the second to the last night of this fucking tour. Play New York and we are going home. We would like to thank our crew, speaking of 'Rats.' You should also thank the one who made the setlist tonight, cause somebody else made it. This is a fucking awesome place you live in. Lots of history. It is definitely one of the places I want to live." Mike pretends to hide during the appropriate 'Dirty Frank' lyrics. Having a rather cheerful night, Ed quips, "I really shouldn't let you all see me this happy ... people might expect it all the time." During the extended (20+ min.?) 'I've Got a Feeling' jam, Ed lifts a young female attendee from the crowd and puts her on his shoulders, dances a bit and returns her to her seat, giving her some roses.

 

It's odd that Pearl Jam played the Boston Garden for two nights in a row prior to this show. This must be the last time that they've played different venues in the same city on the same leg of the tour (Boston at least).

I don't think I will be buying any more Pearl Jam albums unless they go back to a more rocking sound.

 

New Pearl Jam Album, Other Band Projects In The Works

 

"There's so much going on between this Tres Mts. project and Pearl Jam stuff for the rest of the year that I'm going to be plenty busy," bassist Jeff Ament says. That, Pearl Jam fans, is a huge understatement.

 

Ament's first trip to SXSW later this week with his new side band, Tres Mts., is just the tip of the iceberg of a hectic 2011 for Pearl Jam and its members -- one which Ament tells Billboard.com will hopefully include a brand new Pearl Jam album and a solo tour by frontman Eddie Vedder, in addition to the already announced the Cameron Crowe-directed Pearl Jam documentary, official book and weekend festival, all celebrating the band's 20th anniversary. Throw in a new Eddie Vedder solo album, a Soundgarden record in the works (which includes drummer Matt Cameron, who plays in both bands), and Ament putting the finishing touches on his own second solo album, and you've got a very full docket for the veteran Seattle quintet.

 

All of the new action starts in April, Ament explains, when Pearl Jam convenes not only to begin recording the follow up to 2009's "Backspacer," which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, but also to announce the location and other details for the Pearl Jam Twenty festival, which Ament says will likely take place on or around Labor Day weekend.

 

"We did a whole bunch of demos and everybody's got a disc of 25 [songs] right now," Ament says of Pearl Jam's plans to hit the studio next month. "April will be the time where we get together and learn to play all these demos and figure out which 12-15 of them float to the top. Hopefully we can get something done this year."

 

"There's been so much focus on the past that I think all of us are really excited to make a new record and have something to look forward to because we've been digging in the boxes in our basement a lot the last year or so," Ament says.

 

That digging, of course, has been in the service of creating the Pearl Jam Twenty documentary, which tells the story of the band's career, and an accompanying book, both due in late summer/early fall around the exact 20th anniversary of the band's blockbuster debut album, August 1991's "Ten."

 

The group also unearthed a raft of archival goodies for the special edition box set of reissues due on March 29 -- which includes expanded versions of 1993's Vs. and 1994's Vitalogy.

 

As far as the Pearl Jam festival goes, Ament says that the band is looking to finalize the location and the other bands on the bill by the end of March and announce everything in April. "We've reached out to a few [other bands]. It's mostly people that we're friends with. I don't think that anybody's fully signed on yet. We're not 100% where we're going to have it yet, so it's a little bit tricky... If it's Labor Day, that's three or four months; that should be plenty of time for people to make reservations."

 

Frontman Eddie Vedder, who is currently on tour on his own in Australia, will probably be hitting the road solo again this year, according to Ament. Vedder, meanwhile, has also made a new solo album likely due in the coming months. He recently told Austin, Texas radio station AM 1300 that the songs were written on the ukulele, which has been a staple of his non-Pearl Jam work for a decade. It hasn't yet been confirmed whether any of the many ukulele songs Vedder debuted at solo shows in early 2002 -- but never released -- will be on the new album, but a version of one of them, "Longing To Belong," was posted by the website Antiquiet yesterday.

 

Ament, for his part, also has a his own new solo album "pretty much in the can." Recorded "a few months ago," Ament says he's "just waiting for a little bit of airspace to finish it up" and that it probably won't see release until 2012.

 

As previously reported, Soundgarden -- drummer Cameron's other band -- has also been in the studio making its first studio album in 15 years. No release date has yet been set.

 

 

 

 

Eddie Vedder Solo Album 'Ukulele Songs' In May

 

Rumored in fan circles for weeks, it's now official: Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder's new solo album, "Ukulele Songs," will arrive on May 31 in tandem with a live solo DVD titled "Water On The Road."

 

Featuring a number of songs that Vedder penned and first played live -- but never released -- nearly a decade ago, "Ukulele Songs" also includes a uke version of Pearl Jam's 2002 track "Can't Keep" and guest vocalists on two tracks: Glen Hansard on the Everly Brothers cover "Sleepless Nights" and Cat Power on "Tonight You Belong To Me." The album's lead single, "Longing To Belong," a Vedder original, is available digitally today (March 21).

 

The concert DVD, "Water On The Road," meanwhile, captures Vedder playing Pearl Jam tunes, ukulele songs, covers, and selections from his 2007 solo album/soundtrack "Into The Wild" at a pair of Washington D.C. solo shows from Aug. 16 and 17, 2008. It was directed by Christoph Green and Fugazi's Brendan Canty.

 

The announcement of Vedder's new album and DVD comes as Pearl Jam and its members continue a busy year: Vedder is currently on tour in Australia, while his bandmate, bassist Jeff Ament, told Billboard.com last week that Vedder plans to hit the road again this year.

 

Pearl Jam will convene in the studio next month to begin recording the follow-up to 2009's "Backspacer," which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. "We did a whole bunch of demos and everybody's got a disc of 25 [songs] right now," Ament said. "April will be the time where we get together and learn to play all these demos and figure out which 12-15 of them float to the top. Hopefully we can get something done this year."

 

New Pearl Jam Album & Other Band Projects In The Works

 

And according to Ament, the details surrounding Pearl Jam's mini-festival celebrating its 20th anniversary -- which will be around Labor Day weekend -- should also be released next month. A Cameron Crowe-directed documentary, "Pearl Jam Twenty," and companion book will be released around the same time.

 

In the meantime, Ament and Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready are busy on the road with Tres Mts., a new side project featuring King's X frontman dUg Pinnick and former Fastbacks drummer Richard Stuverud. Pearl Jam's Matt Cameron, who does double duty, is currently in the studio with Soundgarden working on that band's first studio album in a 15 years.

Same here.

 

The 2003 tour seem to be the tightest shows to me out of all the tour shows I've heard. I saw this tour in Philly, and, man, was that a great show, and the subsequent CD proved it wasn't just the experience that makes it stand out for me.

Tweet (gasp) Tweet

 

The little birdie fluttered and landed with great force on our picnic blanket.

 

"Where have you been and what's with the backpack?" we inquired.

 

"I've been so busy making plans, trying to get everything ready for a special weekend. And do you know how hard it is to fly with a pack on my back?" the birdie said.

 

"Ah…a special destination weekend perhaps?" we said.

 

The little birdie exclaimed, "Well, of course! Have you been living in a valley? Just make sure your memberships are up to date by midnight Sunday (Pacific Time) or you'll be sorry."

 

"Ok, little birdie, thank you for the heads-up. We appreciate it. Where are you going next, birdie?" we said.

 

"To the great white North!”

i have a feeling the pricing for that weekend festival @ Alpine is gonna price it outta my range... i'm hoping for less than $250/per person for the weekend, but i have a feeling it's gonna be $300+

 

those travel packages are just ABSURD.

 

the same hotel room we booked 4 months ago for $119 a night is now $1,999 for 3 nights per person (sure it "includes tickets" to the festival), but still...

Those prices are for two people. Kinda high as the hotels are basically charging by the person instead of the room. But the packages make it easy if you dont want to worry about driving-one click and you are all set. And I think its cool they are offering shuttle buses from chicago and milwaukee.

 

I decided a long time ago to pass on this. Too much effort for a PJ show. I guess I am jaded. Im not traveling to freaking Wisconsin to sit on the lawn.

Kinda offtrack here, but here I go anyway:

 

 

I had this really odd dream last night.

It was a first person view of a concert...from behind backstage.

Eddie Vedder was fronting a band (I couldn't quite see or tell who the band was).

He was singing a killer version of Love Reign o'er me.

It was raging.

As the song played, I noted that the guitar players were kinda cute teenage type boys.

As the song ended, I heard teenage girls screaming.

The lead guitar player started kissing hysterical girls from the crowd.

Then I realized the band was the Jonas Brothers.

 

Odd dream.
