Boom brings something to the band, and Crazy Mary has been better since he joined.
I like the idea of Boom, but when there's a part with a slight degree of intricacy (which is to say every other keyboard part aside from the keyboard-smashing free-for-all solo in "Crazy Mary"), he can't do it. He's a klutz, a remarkably unskilled player for someone who does it at a professional level. He's ruined so many songs.
Sires is fucking great Dave A is overrated and kind of obnoxious on most songs (yet totally awesome on others) Matt Cameron is an incredible song writer and the best in the band.

There are definitely songs he has massacred(RITFW comes to mind,) but I like that he's in the band so they can do things like Crazy Mary.
I'd rather go to a show and get 16 really well-played, intense songs... instead of a 3 hour 32-song marathon of half-baked singalongs
On that note, my submission is that Pearl Jam shows are way too long.
Even for a band I love, somewhere in the region of 90-120 minutes (at most) is the longest I really want to hear them play live. More ≠ better.
I think the band's set length was ideal in 1998 and 2000.
I didn't want the denver show to end. Nothing was half baked. All the songs were played wonderfully. Out of their minds. Pearl jam, musically As a band, is not as bad as RM makes them out to be.

Don't misunderstand me, Strat: I really love Pearl Jam.
