Nope. How recent was this show?

[Bob Morocco]

They were on Letterman tonight and kicked ass. On a personal note Eddie Vedder's Telecaster was the best looking one I've ever seen.

expecting it (letterman) on dvd shortly after the next usmnt game... don't ask

I did enjoy that quite a bit.

I'm not a big PJ fan, but I really enjoyed their cover last night. Letterman's demeanor after the song stood in a funny contrast to the song itself. Massive props to PJ for being political on debate night -- whether I like their tunes or not, I have respect for them as musicians (this was before last night, btw).

My favortie cover of Masters of War remains The Freewheelin' Mark Arm, though.

I think you and I are the only people around who actually bought that record. :D

I have it on CD. If you were lucky enough to get the vinyl, they should start shipping soon. Only ~2000 vinyl released. I saw one on ebay for $330 or so, with lots of time left.

Benaroya concert was about 1 year ago. The show wasn't released until early this summer or spring.

And if you haven't seen the latest Rumor Pit. DO IT. Tons of good stuff.

so far... i'm not huge on this version... at this point... i think the ed, mccready and g.e. smith version was better at the hall of fame induction of bob dylan (among various other better versions done by ed and the crew)

I've added this album to my Pearl Jam Lyrics Page (http://home.att.net/~chuckayoub/pearljam.html) site.

What Pearl Jam song are you? (http://pearljammers.com.sapo.pt/)

I am presidential advice by president-elect Mike McCready. (Jim should get the joke, here's a hint. (http://www.fivehorizons.com/tour/cc/t2000p2.shtml))


Here's more un-related/related info from www.pearljam.com
Starting tonight (actually a few days ago) in heavy rotation, VH1 will begin airing the Patti Smith song, People Have The Power from the Vote For Change finale. If you missed it, here's your chance to catch it!

The Sony release of Pearl Jam's greatest hits will be released November 16th. The double cd is titled Rearviewmirror (Greatest Hits 1991-2003).

Interview with Stone and some other stuff up too. The live version of betterman (2003 bridgeschool) is for sale with profits going to "freeing Aung San Suu Kyi and the courageous people of Burma."

Wow, thanks for bumping this thread. I can't believe I missed it.

Benaroya F-ing owns by the way. The Johnny Cash cover kills me.

I also love the acoustic Lukin. :D

i have definately thought that. tough to say though.

i have definately thought that. tough to say though.


I think if you look at it from the perspective of say a teenaged jesus right after he found out he was supposed to save the world and stuff. Wouldn't that be a lot for a teenager to handle?

He Got up out of there and ran for hundreds of miles.

Then when he gets to the ocean god smacks him around and says look "Here is how it's going to be"

Waves came crashing like a fist to the jaw
Delivered him wings hey look at me now

et cetera et cetera.


I really like the song either way.

and I'm no christian.
