Indecision 2008: NIN, Pearl Jam, Poe, Pulp, or Phair?

Overload!  Overload!  I woke up this morning with so many things I wanted to listen to and I had trouble pulling the trigger on any one of them.  I also woke up this morning with a headache, so that complicates things.
During the “after hours” portion of the B-Sides Concept Album program from last night, [...]

From 18,000 Songs Down to 14

Some days the driving force that gets me to the office is the knowledge that I’ll have some time to listen to music.  I can only imagine the look on my face when a co-worker stops by my cube to ask me a question, forcing me to remove my earbuds so I can answer them.  [...]

Right Place, Right Time: Pearl Jam - Live at Benaroya Hall

There is always a song for every situation.  Always.  Sometimes, it takes an album to survive a day.  I found mine. I started with The Gutter Twins’ Saturnalia.  It’s an excellent record and I’m glad I listened to it again today, but it wasn’t what I needed.  Not exactly, anyway. What is it [...]

Pearl Jam Washington D.C. Setlist 06/22/2008: Band Plays 31 Songs For Washington D.C., White House Occupants Notwithstanding

Okay, so now I’m impossibly behind. I’m going to have to move and move quickly on this one so I can catch up with the rest of the shows that are passing me by.
DC has, what I believe, is the longest show of the tour thus far at 31 songs. I haven’t [...]

Pearl Jam 06/24/08 and 06/25/08 New York, NY: Ace Frehley, CJ Ramone Join Band on Two Night Stand at Madison Square Garden

I’m going to get incredibly lazy here, people, and I’m going to ask you to cut me some slack. I happened to read Billboard’s review of the highlights of Pearl Jam’s 2-night stand in MSG and by virtue of having some resources to cover it, I’m going to refer you on to them if [...]

Pearl Jam Camden #2 06/20/08 Set List

Comparisons are inevitable when a band does a multiple-night stand, so let’s look at Camden #2 and match it up against Camden #1.
Camden #2 is longer, so that gives it an edge. Camden 1 gets “Yellow Ledbetter” and “Love Reign O’er Me” while #2 gets “Baba O’Riley.” Camden 1 had “State of [...]

Pearl Jam Camden, NJ #1 06/19/08 Setlist

Once again playing catchup with our Pearl Jam set list game. This one is the first of two for Camden, NJ and it’s a good one. The highlight of this one for me is “State of Love & Trust.” I can’t name a favorite Pearl Jam song of all time but when [...]

Pearl Jam Set List Virginia Beach, VA 06/17/2008

The Virginia Beach set was trimmed back from the extended run in Columbia, making me all the more depressed that I didn’t make it there to see that show.
That said, VB did get some of my favorite PJ songs. I’ve been a big fan of “Faithfull” since Yield was released while I was in [...]

Pearl Jam Columbia, S.C. 06/16/08: 28-Song Opus Follows Up Bonnaroo Marathon Set

So close and yet so far away. Tragic, this is. We have friends in Columbia and I can pretty much use their home as a home base to go see a show. I’d have done that for Pearl Jam if work wasn’t so crazy. I could have made a long weekend [...]

Pearl Jam Rocks Bonnaroo: Manchester, TN 06/14/08 Setlist

Now this is more like it!
Pearl Jam wowed the massive Bonnaroo audience with a 3-hour show, headlining the second night of the festival up the road from me in Manchester, TN. I can’t imagine how tired that crowd had to be by the time it was all said and done. I hope [...]
