Members DirtyChains Posted September 1, 2005 Members Share Posted September 1, 2005 I won't be there but have a great time man! PJ puts on a better show than they did in the early and mid 90's with all the material they have now. If you don't have the MSG show on the 2 dvd set I suggest you get it because it's very good. They even break down into a couple of jams and most every song has some nice lead work. It is sometimes minimal but Mike is one of the most underrated guitarist in the industry. If people would get past the "grunge" era stuff and just take them for face value they would find a diamond in the rough in today's music industry. They refuse to make videos at all and have totally turned their back on the media and ticketmaster. The show prices are always fair and worth more than what they charge. Great band and a great show. I certainly wish I could be there. Mike plays about 6-7 different guitars during the show now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are in with Clear Channel on most of the more popular venues so they probably had no choice if they wanted to reach their fans. That is suppose to be what they are all about.

Too bad out of the numerous times that I've seen Pearl Jam, I've never heard Eddie talk politics.Pearl Jam is playing two shows in Atlantic City that I wanted to go to but they sold out immediately. They are incredible live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rayneman Posted September 1, 2005 Members Share Posted September 1, 2005 Be quick with a review of the show! I'm going to see PJ in Toronto later this month...looking forward to it. I've heard the new album will be heavier, more in the style of Vs. which was always their heaviest (though not best IMO) album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
