Paul Cook-I hear My Morning Jacket are awesome live--what album did you hear that bored you?? (I appreciate My Morning Jacket big time) I appreciated all the articles you posted too. If I had tons of money I would go see the Pearl jam show with Pollard--unbelievable! The most current album is the one I heard (forgot the name)...I'm actually looking forward to seeing them live. I trust Pearl Jam's judgment for opening bands; they have yet to let me down! So far I've seen them with: Mudhoney Sonic Youth Sleater Kinney (x2) Buzzcocks Also saw them at the 1998 Tibetan Freedom Concert (Beastie Boys / Pearl Jam headlined), and the Vote For Change tour finale in 2004 (Bruce owned the stage that night, and I found out first hand why he's the Boss). |

Hey Paul, check YouTube for some live MMJ, especially the Conan O'Brien performances. Totally electrifying.

 the lead singer looks like Grizzly Adams! That song was pretty good though, I enjoyed it; thanks for the link.

As long as they do One Big Holiday you'll be good to go.

Billboard Review for Pearl Jam
It's tempting but misleading to label Pearl Jam's first record since 2002 a "comeback"—the band has spent its career keeping a judicious cap on its profile. But one thing is clear: Pearl Jam is fully, comprehensively re-energized. While its last few records sounded tangibly downcast, "Pearl Jam" feels like pure power—witness the one-two punch of "Life Wasted" and "World Wide Suicide," which find Eddie Vedder's fiery baritone in mighty roar. One of rock's most eloquent rabble-rousers, Vedder has written what initially sounds like a concept piece on war, but he steps back from virulent anti-Bush sentiments and lets his well-drawn, humbler stories do the talking. The band steps up musically as well: "Severed Hand" gets unexpectedly funky, and "Comatose" is 150 seconds of pure punk stomp. This album will put Pearl Jam squarely back on the map, whether the band likes it or not. —Jeff Vrabel

hell yes it will ! I've been thinking, how unusual (for me) that I never saw em live. . . . as you all have probably gathered by now, live music is my forte. . . . and I could almost say "I've seen em all", w/the exception of PJ. . . (and rage, lamentably). That'll change a couple days after this July 4th ! "Oh Say Can You SEEEEEEEEE..." *holds hand over heart*

I've also been thinking how, I don't know, "appropriate" it is, that is just so happens to coincide w/the release of their "self titled". Just "Pearl Jam"; i.e, back to basics baby. It'll feel like the years never even passed, I'll bet.
