The new LP is expectedly pretty boring overall. Starts out pretty well, but falls apart. I dunno why they're making 5-6 minute songs and hour-long albums at this point.

Oh sure, lots of fans will cherish every second given the quarantine and the fact that it's been 7 years. And that's cool, to each his/her own. I just don't think it's a recipe for success for a late-career record from a rock band. It's longer than their first 2 classic albums, from which they cut extremely strong material. It would be one thing if they were still churning out killer songs with engaging instrumental sections, but unfortunately that's not the case. They're still striking gold here and there, but I would've enjoyed Gigaton a lot more if it was 15-20 minutes shorter.

At first listen I liked it but it didn't grab me fully.  I'm going to listen more... but I kind of agree with you, I think they could have put in a couple shorter more high tempo rockers in there instead of some of the songs on the 2nd half....

i've listened to it a few times and it does feel like 2-3 songs could have been better as a B-side (I'm looking at you River Cross and Buckle Up). But otherwise I've been enjoying it, Quick Escape is really good imo and will be a great addition to the live arsenal. Seven O'Clock & Never Destination are also songs I like.

Don't sleep on Take the Long Way.  It is incredible.  The first PJ song with a female backing vocal, and it works amazingly!  The guitars and melody rock too!

Buckle Up is the only one I can't get into. For a band 30 years in it's an inspired effort. Can't wait to see it live.

just did the ticketmaster verified fan registration for indy.  got shut out a couple of times last summer (nashville and st. louis), hard to be optimistic about my chances.  got 2 friends to register also, maybe my luck will change this time around.

as much as i love MMJ, PJ is in a league of their own live. :drum:

I liked that they said this on their website.  They are trying....


"To continue to protect fans' access to fairly priced tickets, Pearl Jam has decided to make tickets non-transferable where permitted, and by selling approximately 10% of tickets through PJ Premium at the market rate to offset increased costs. Tickets on this tour will continue to be non-transferable in all states except Illinois where it is prohibited by law. We apologize in advance to Illinois fans who may be subject to increased ticket prices on the secondary market.

Pearl Jam will use all-in pricing across this tour for the first time. This means the ticket price you see listed is the full out-of-pocket price inclusive of fees so there are no surprises at check out. 

For more information about the policy issues in ticketing, visit https://fairticketing.com. 

We can't wait to see you out there! "

Damn Cameron!  Enjoy that!  I haven't seen them in a long time, last time it was bad scheduling and also kind of tough to get tickets

Wondering how the setlists change between shows for them?  how many repeats from night to night on avg?

Not as much variety last year as there had been. Shows are still different and unique though.

That is great.  I got two Austin and one Chicago.  Ten Club has been and is still really awesome though imperfect at times.

and....all 3 of us were put on the waitlist, which is essentially the same as the "tough shit, you're not getting tickets yet again" list. :cry:
