OFFICIAL PEARL JAM 2013 THREAD

The two weekend format would be tailor made for them

[MDallum]

To go with PJ headlining, they should get the Beach Boys to sub under them. What a show last night in Tucson. Two hours and 43 songs total. Of course they would have to cut that down, but it would be so good before PJ. EV should try to flex some muscle to make it happen if GV contacts them about headlining. I know he would love it being the big Beach Boys fan that he is.

That would be amazing if the Beach Boys got a spot at coachella. Even better if they could get Brian Wilson to reunite with them for two weeks. If that happened, I think EV & co would happily sub under them instead.

I have seen them 17 times (plus on Letterman once), and there really was only 1 show I walked away disappointed (LA I in 2006 - when they repeated the San Diego setlist the day before almost song for song. They never do that, so that was a big letdown). Regardless of how lackluster their new music may be (Backspacer and the absolutely horrible Ole), they are still a force live.

I've seen them 19 times, and I don't remember being disappointed by LA1 in '06, but I WAS very underwhelmed by their overall song selection at the 4 Gibson shows in '09. Night 4 had some awesome rarities, but overall Nights 1 and 4 were extremely similar, as were Nights 2 and 3.

They do have Brian Wilson with them right now. It's the only reason why I drove down to Tucson for that show. Beach Boys and PJ in the same night would be magical. I'm sure it's just a pipe dream though.

You're right. I just found that out! Hopefully I can get tickets for the already sold-out show at the Hollywood Bowl on June 2nd.

(been a while since I've seen them and this would be a great place to rectify that)

Nice, Missoula is my hometown. First concert I ever went to was Pearl Jam at the Adam's Center in '94. Great memories. Hope you enjoyed the show.

[Footsteps86]

It was a fantastic experience. It was my eighth PJ show and easily the best crowd and venue (in terms of organization/staffing--Santa Barbara Bowl and MSG will probably always be tied). Everyone in the GA line was extremely friendly and made the day breeze by very quickly. A list was organized and the venue used security and officers to enforce it when people who didn't have numbers tried to get in line after the 10C will call opened. The venue sent out security with barricades to the outside merchandise booth after people were trying to sneak in line. The security on the rail gave us cups of water throughout the show. Just a top-notch venue all around. The setlist probably ranks somewhere between third and fifth favorite for me, but the location, crowd and venue made it an incredible night.

Was Vedder jumping around as usual? Curious after he cancelled some solo shows last year.

[Footsteps86]

He definitely was and he was even battling a cold. Probably due to all the smoke in the air from the wildfires.

That was quite a first show. I have heard that was quite the legendary concert in the PJ world.

Yeah I was twelve years old and they were my favorite band at the time . Pretty cool. It was during their dispute with Ticketmaster and the tickets were around $17. Pearl Jam was one of the only bands that consistently toured Montana so they have a huge following there. I would fully support them on the polo fields - surprised it hasn't happened already.

[nine day brawl]

support!

[bettycarolyn]

wow i coulda swore they played atleast once before on the polo fields....damn, this is long overdue, bring it on Pearl Jam 2013!!!

[Rolwolf]

That setlist looks amazing. It's your 3rd to 5th favorite? I'm not a huge PJ fan and wasn't very excited about all the buzz they're getting for 2013, but that show sounds like an absolute blast. I would love it if they showed up and played a set like that. Thanks for sharing.

That show at the Gibson was amazing!! They were on fire from the first note. I was in shock when they broke out All Those Yesterdays. Never thought I'd hear that one live.

[bettycarolyn]

[heart cooks brain]

[nathanfairchild]

[Footsteps86]

Especially the anniversary of having shoes thrown at you.

N4 at Gibson was absolutely magical. Almost cried when Stone started playing Nothingman...song means A TON to me because of my father and to finally see it, with him next to me was an incredible moment and made me realize why I love Pearl Jam so much and music in general.
