Looks like I get to see them at Wrigley Field, pretty psyched. I've seen the band a bunch but not for a long while, and even though I never put on their records I've always been impressed by them live.
Unrelated, I heard "Hard to Handle" by the Black Crowes today, and parts of it sort of reminded me of a slower, major key version of "Even Flow."

my friend is going to the Home shows in Seattle & i am crazy jealous
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 9 August 2018 02:23 (five years ago) link
They were fine last night but not their best. A friend in the know told me that Seattle - the planning, the playing, the organization - took a lot out of them.
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 19 August 2018 22:48 (five years ago) link
really? My FB page was full of friends in all. Was that the show at which he used Tom Petty's guitar or some shit?
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 19 August 2018 22:55 (five years ago) link
Yeah, among other stunts. Dennis Rodman was there babbling, Vedder played a Petty guitar, Cubs World Series trophy on stage, they covered "Rebel Rebel," etc. I've seen them before and they've been better. They just never gathered momentum. Bolstering my position, I know they had permission to blow past the curfew, which was 11pm, but they stopped more or less right there.
I mean, it wasn't bad! They're a good live act. But this was not the keeper among the sets I've seen them play.
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 19 August 2018 23:01 (five years ago) link
And indeed, band was significantly better tonight, rain delay and all.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 21 August 2018 06:06 (five years ago) link
Looks like a great setlist both nights, with some fun songs thrown in. Got the itch to attack the PJ DVD collection tonight.

Warming up for a US tour?
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 2 December 2019 17:06 (four years ago) link
^^ My guess. Rumor has it a new album will be out next year, so it makes sense. Still leaves time for an appearance at Lolla in August, otherwise maybe Summer 2021 for their big North American tour?

Damn, I haven't seen them since the Backspacer tour in 2010!

I follow the nature photographer who shot the PJ cover on Instagram. He has a lot of amazing shots of Arctic wildlife.

would be a pretty cool cover without the heartbeat gimmick

Ottawa, Quebec City and fucking Hamilton? but no Montreal date.
― sofatruck, Thursday, 16 January 2020 17:49 (four years ago) link
Eh, there will be more. I mean, I could have sworn there was no Chicago date, either.

"US Tour"

Weird, for some reason I thought Brendan O'Brien had produced every PJ album (except "Binaural"), but no, just most of them. But not this one.
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 22 January 2020 12:50 (four years ago) link
I dig it.

Kind of Muse-y, tbh. But I like it, too.

Weird and exhilarating to hear Vedder imitate David Byrne singing atop a Sleater-Kinney track from the last album.

You know, that album cover made me think of "Grace Under Pressure," but the red wave at the top is actually reminiscent of "Permanent Waves."
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 23 January 2020 04:39 (four years ago) link
I've already cooled on this song after a handful of listens, but still intrigued by the idea of a curveball PJ album in 2020. I'm not sure I ever listened to Lightning Bolt more than one time, if that.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 23 January 2020 04:43 (four years ago) link
i liked Lightning Bolt a lot(not as much as avocado tho)

Backspacer got a lot of plays from me, but even that one I haven't spun in years.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 23 January 2020 04:56 (four years ago) link
No Code/Yield is their real sweet spot imo.
00’s highlight is def Avocado, there’s literally not a bad song on the whole album
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 23 January 2020 05:45 (four years ago) link
weird to realize Eddie Vedder is older than Mick Jagger was when the Stones released Bridges to Babylon.
― omar little, Thursday, 23 January 2020 06:04 (four years ago) link
I heard “Dance of the Clairvoyants” for the first time last night and it’s surprising and I like it, but my brain keeps drawing a lot of parallels to the Killers “The Man” and insists on melding them into one song on mental replay. Just me?
― Manitobiloba (Kim), Friday, 7 February 2020 14:11 (four years ago) link
I'd never heard that, but there are some very loose similarities.
