Our local politicians here in Seattle have let our city go to hell in
a hand basket. Thank you Pearl Jam for stepping up to the plate.
Very classy band, have stayed together (drummers aside) for almost 30 years, integrity to spare...that's one band I still need to cross off my concert list.Quote

Pearl Jam have been eternally classy.

Great band,
Saw them first in 1996 and lastly in 2013, always a good live band, they vary the set lists a lot which is great. I saw Neil Young on the mirrorball tour before seeing pearl jam and one only went because Pearl Jam guys were backing him. I left a convert of Neil at 15, and definitely ended up with more Neil Young records than pearl jam.
Eddie Vedder kicked me in the head stage diving in 2000 I think it was, he actually glanced round to make sure I wasn’t @#$%& up after it when he was on top of the crowd. Matt Cameron and Mike McCready walked past me at the MC50 show in Seattle last October. Mike McCready has walked past me a total of 3 times then, in a shop in Seattle & at a Guns N Roses gig in Seattle.....that’s my crappy PJ related trivia !

Eddie lives down the street from me. Literally has to drive by my kitchen window to go anywhere.
Oh I totally agree with dcba. I;ve never quite (but only quite) understood the praise that Matt Cameron gets. IMO a very boring musician; and also agreed that Abbruzzese was far better.Quote

Well since you started this... To me unsophisticated ears they sound very "white" that is they don't swing. At all. Zilch. It's straight metronomic rock that I find boring.
Plus they fired the best drummer they had (Dave Abbruzzese who did have some swing in him) in favor of Matt Cameron who is solid, reliable, but terminally boring and machine-like (imo).
Sure McCready is some sort of a "Guitar Center" virtuoso but that doesn't move me either.

Never a listener of this group, their songs and singer just never appealed. I am curious as to why they have their own satellite radio channel.

rumours of more european dates next summer - hope this comes off. They seem to like summers in Europe, whilst just adding a couple of massive baseball gigs in the US afterwards
