Out today. I have it downloaded digitally from iTunes already but haven’t gotten to listen to it yet. Will get the CD too just because I have all their other albums as physical releases.

I'm on my 3rd listen through as I work today. As someone who generally takes time to get into an album (and was not a particular fan of "Dance of the Clairvoyants"), I'm loving it, and am really pleased.

"Seven O'Clock" is the flat-out standout for me.

Really nice return to form after Backspacer and Lightning Bolt. Pretty solid throughout, which you can’t say for those two. The slower songs really stand out.

Another dud album BUT this time I actually get a pearl jam song I'll have in regular rotation "Quick Escape".

Picked it up today on a whim and really like it. Probably their best since Yield.

story

I figure that's the first leg and another will be announced soon. Otherwise, the closest for me is St. Louis and it would be an all-day drive nonstop to get there in time, probably not a good idea.

Mike86

I’d try and see them in concert again, but they’re nowhere near me. Probably my best shot is if they do a second leg and hit the Minneapolis/Saint Paul area.

First Pearl Jam concert in Vegas since I moved here almost 20 years ago!
Edit : No conflicts in dates!!
When do the tickets go on sale.

emanon

Yeah, I had tickets to the STL show for the 2020 date, but finally bailed on them and got a refund probably a year-ish back. Unless something changes, it seems I'll be sitting this tour out.

Phodg

Wouldn't shock me if they played Lollapalooza in late July. That would explain skipping most of the Midwest.

emanon

Oh yay. The only thing I'd look forward to less than a Wrigley show would be Lollapalooza again.

At least I'd go to Wrigley, but I'm just too damn old to deal with Lolla anymore.



EDIT: actually, the European tour doesn't end 'til July 25th. No way they'd tack Lolla on after that.

Phodg

Metallica are doing Lolla anyway.

Decker

Well shit. Another Covid casualty.

dex14

That sucks. They've done the best they could with rotating drummers filling in for Matt. But hard to with Jeff getting COVID now too.

I'm supposed to travel for the Quebec show in September. It would be rough to have to deal with a cancellation after waiting over two years plus dealing with travel plans.

Mike86

Pearl Jam announced some new tour dates. I might try and swing one of the St. Paul shows. Would love to do it but I’m getting married on August 26th and with wedding costs and whatnot not sure if it’ll happen. Both me and my fiancée are off until September 4th and I ran it by her and she would be up for it, so if I can get tickets and they’re not super expensive I might try.

story

I'm planning on one of those shows, too. Lemme know if you want to grab lunch during the day if you make it over for them!

emanon

In the lottery for both Chicago shows. Contemplating Indy, too.

Mike86

I wish I would have kept my Ten Club membership active. I stopped it when they stopped doing the vinyl holiday single releases. Plus they haven’t toured nearby for a while (I saw them in 2014) so it’s kind of a waste to keep it active but yet it sucks being left out of the lottery for tickets. Ah well.

emanon

Well, that was rough.

Yesterday, got selected for both nights in Chicago, section 108.
This morning, woke up to an email stating I still have tickets, but seat assignments were screwed up.
This afternoon, I get new confirmations - section 212 one night, and 334 the next.

I'm pretty certain their next actions are to kill my dog tonight, and put sugar in my gas tank in the morning.

Unless they announce a new Vault bootleg release before my sub runs out (not 'til next April - just renewed at the beginning of the month) I'm pretty sure I'm done with the 10 Club. It's been a mediocre run.

story

Something similar happened to us. We also got a confirmation for our tickets with seats, then told the seat assignments were messed up, and got new seats. Must've happened across the system. I think a free bootleg album or something would be a reasonable "sorry about that" for the whole mess.

Went from a closer section up higher to one section further but 20 rows closer to the floor. Both sets in the 100s section.

I'll say, I'm pretty disappointed we can't pick our seats. We're both larger people and much prefer picking aisle seats so we can have a little breathing room into to aisle. Maybe we'll take the end seats in our row and see if the people who have them want to trade to sit a lot closer in our row.

This is quickly becoming the Best New Comedy of 2023:

I’m on the waitlist for tickets. I’m not expecting to actually get them. Fingers crossed.
