The greatest, most important band of our (?) generation

Why Pearl Jam 2016 Is Better (and More Important) Than Pearl Jam 1991

As a result, I’ve pretty much gone through life with the p.o.v. that Pearl Jam is a band that’s been lucky enough to ride the coattails of their early ‘90s mega-success, when they — along with Nirvana, Alice in Chains, and Soundgarden — ruled the rock world, but since then, have never really come close to the energy/grooves of their first album. What a difference a few hours make.

...

What I realized last night, is that the one thing a concertgoer gets to see, that you’ll never experience listening to an iPod, or the radio, or even watching a video, is the earnestness. What I saw last night is a band of guys who not only care deeply about the music they play, as well as believe in what they’re doing, they truly appreciate every second of the success they’ve been lucky enough to attract. And it shows.

    There is an appropriate one-liner here somewhere that includes APAG, but I'm not thinking clear enough to fire it correctly.

    Speaking of appropriate lines, if it wasn't already after midnight my response to the link should have been:

    Meh. This is just classic confirmation bias. It's telling because we want it to be telling. But these exact comments are made by reporters every single time there's a band at MSG. Sometimes they're telling, sometimes they're not. Time will tell.

    Either way it will be interesting.

    That would have been apropriate. LOL

    And to bring that full circle, one of my all-time favorite PJ bootlegs is an MSG show. I can't remember the exact year, but it was the first one after 9/11. They literally shook the stage in a way less than a hand full of bands ever had.




    And then, the googles found this ...

    music-critic.com/concerts/pearljam_msg_070903.htm

    The energy of the crowd made the floor and the stage shake. This phenomena scared the band to death at first, but MSG staff told Vedder during the first night that it was safe, so Ed encouraged it the second night. Ed was told that only The Grateful Dead, Iron Maiden, and Bruce Springsteen had caused the stage to shake like that in the past, so that's the company Pearl Jam is in now.
