The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
How much longer does Pearl Jam have in them to keep delivering these long ass shows with such intensity? 10 years? 5 years? 20 years?
Feels like the shows have been trending longer the older the band has gotten. The '98 shows were 24-25 songs. In 2003, the State College show blew everyone's mind at 36 (I think) songs, and now they routinely play close to that. Who knows?

I just saw a shitty video of the See Hear Now festival show they just played, and I'll be damned but they sounded polished and refreshed, with what seemed to be a lot of their late-career annoying traits ironed out; I'm really proud of them!

I've watched the whole show now thanks to a stream on Facebook, and I'll be damned if it wasn't their best show in years -- and that's coming from someone who has been especially jaded about PJ (Live) for a long time now

Made this playlist. Listened to it once on shuffle, then ordered it like this. Now I'm listening again. On a Pearl Jam kick lately.

Thinking I might add Quick Escape, not sure though. Buckle Up might fit well.

They had a ton of energy and the show clearly meant a lot to them after not actually playing together in 3 years. They were well rehearsed, I thought. And the sound was fantastic, which is not always the case with them.

yep!
Also, for you RMers, no call and response during Corduroy, but they did jam and delayed the “everything has chains…” line - a compromise.

There seem to have been quite a few RMers at that show.
Really? Were you there? At the time we posted about it but I think B was the only one other than me that I remember. Maybe there were others, idk, that was so long ago.

Not sure if this is the exact thread for this, but I can came across a pretty cool production/mixing podcast called 'Andrew Talks to Awesome People,' hosted by Andrew Scheps.
In this clip, he talks to Trina Shoemaker who worked for Brendan O'Brien and Nick DiDia while PJ was recording at Kingsway Studios in New Orleans for Vitalogy. She's got some got some funny, interesting stories about that time. The PJ portion starts at 1:21:45.
