it's official MMJ opening for PJ!

[BH]

I would just go out and buy some of the bootlegs.  State College PA and Benyora Hall (Awesome Acoustic Set)  would be a good start.  Also, if you haven't listend to NO CODE and YIELD yet you have alot to look forward to.

Thanks Sweatboard.  Just got Yield and have been slapping myself ever since for stopping at Vitology.  I have some live stuff and DVD's so I was familiar with some of these songs, but damn, that whole album is sweet.

Wish I could make it to "Me and Pearls Morning Jacket Jam"
How's that for a tour name, huh, huh?

Side note to DaimondDays:  I am so fucking tired of hearing the media say "from an unidentified source" or "from some people in the organization who would like to remain annonymous".  If they (or you) don't have the balls to name names than I don't want to fucking hear it.

Off the Record, I think Daimond Days has sex with cows on Tuesday afternoons when the weather is just right.  Or so I heard.

You're a reasonable soul aren't you Conoway? Go ahead, keep it nice and personal - its showing you in such a good light.

Don't you see how personal it is to call Jim a liar?

Thats awesome Bermuda Hitchhiker I'm glad you cheked that out.  I forgot to mention the "Live At Madison Square Garden" DVD.  It's a legendary show, they were one of only like 4 bands to make the stage shake from the crowd going absolutly nuts.......and they did it that night.  

[DiamondDays]

Sigh.

I didn't call Jim a liar. All I have really done, if you look at my posts dispassionately, is ask questions.

The thing is - much as I'm sure you'll hate to hear this - My Morning Jacket have PR people and management and a Record Label, the same as any other band, all of whom have their own stake in the band, and their own take on how MMJ are presented.

And, just for the record, I think My Morning Jacket are an excellent band, of course I would not heckle them at any gig, and I have nothing but best wishes for Jim James.

shit, I was just gonna say something.
oh well, let's talk pearl jam....
I just got that Garden dvd, that stage better be shakin!

[Jon T.]

Also Sweat, thanks for recommending the Benyoral Hall or whatever its called cd.  I am thoroughly enjoying it.  The first time I heard Black when the crowd takes over gave me chills.  I can only imagine...

[ycartrob]

Jim has trouble with cabin pressure during long flights.
So, knowing this, they schedule European dates, so they can then make up an excuse about an illness, so they can cancel the gigs. Rather than be open and honest, they'd rather alienate their European base of fans. Plus, they cancelled their New Years Eve and Letterman gigs, just to keep the charade going.

That's very unfortunate that they would do that, I thought they were stand up people.

And you call yourself a fan... ;D

this thread never really got going

Yeah, it starts shakeing around the time they play "Do The Evolution"   Eddie's reaction is pretty good they seem real appreciative of the crowd.  There is an awesome duet of "Indifference" with Ben Harper.  The version of "In My Tree" gives me chills.

Wow, that's awesome you checked it out.  Yeah, the crowd involvement at a Pearl Jam show is like nothing I've ever seen.  Eddie doesn't really need to worry about forgeting lyrics because he can always just let the crowd take over.  I love "Man Of The Hour" from that show, it was written for the Tim Burrton film "Big Fish"  I also love "Fatal" which was an unreleased track.  Pearl Jam has some of the best B-Sides and un released tracks ever recorded.

since this thread really never got going, I went back and again began reading all the posts. Somehow the first time I missed this gem by jrat:

ejaculates everywhere without physical stimuli !!

Tried to read the next post, but still stuck on jrat (no pun intended). So, I stopped.

It makes me happy when others are that happy!
Rock On!

Hey all: WInt!

[peanut butter puddin surprise]

Since you can't even bother to look up to spell my name correctly, your misquoted quotations from somewhat unreliable so called sources of sources just isn't factual.  If that's personal, then I'm Rodney Dangerfield.

[DiamondDays]

Keep at it Canawawayay.

Your forensic dissection of my every word is very flattering, but don't you have other stuff to do?

[DiamondDays]

The following's not personal then??

[DiamondDays]

[cracks knuckles]

No, you said the following:


You stated this as a fact.  I challenge you to prove it, naming names, and providing us with proof that you have the medical knowledge/education to make a diagnosis about Mr. Jim's health.  

Of course, you can't do that, you merely posted bullshit to fan flames, like the good troll you are.

Now run along, sonny-hasn't 4th period study hall started?

[DiamondDays]

And here's some personal advice re debating.

Pointing out typos, calling people sonny or troll, and making weak, weak jokes all only serve to undermine both your position and others' opinion of you.

I might offer you some personal advice, DiamondDays.
1.  Keep your inside information to yourself.
2.  If you do share, don't name your sources - you were obviously told something with an implied bit of trust.
3.  If you come all out with your guns cocked, everybody will react strongly to that.  It's completely obvious that you came here with weird intentions and personal grudges all intact.  Comin' on here and telling everybody that you wish that PR and management would talk about the REAL reason why the tours have been cancelled, etc. is so self-aggrandizing and gregarious, it doesn't make sense.  Most peoples' first posts are somethin' like:  "um, hi.  um, this is my first post, and mmj rocks and i'm really glad to be here and cool."
