The thing that worries me... television. Television works to schedules and their union crews are inflexible. meaning, the production teams call all the shots. Even at show tapings. Plus, they always have the glitzy bullshit sparkly crap on the set.
I mean, i'd love to go.. but, I know how T.V. works. I just hope they let the bands play and cut up the tapes in post production.
...
I'm hoping for a finale of 'Long Live Rock' with everybody on the stage... and (sorry Matt) give the drum kit to Taylor.

I was thinking the same thing...a 2-hour tv show could take 8 hours to tape, so once a band does their thing, it could be a long time until the next band comes on...kills any momentum, but heck, it will be a great event, so I will stop complaining!
On the positive side, since its a tv taping, the bands may have to repeat their songs a few times!
this sounds cool. hopefully PJ plays Baba O Riley. I'd like one last definitive performance of it. they'd throw the kitchen sink at it on a VH1 Who tribute show.

Yeah. I was at the Grammys for the Foo Fighter outdoor gig. What a MESS. It was Live Television, so the producers dragged the Foos here for an interview and there for pictures... they had planned to do a mini-set outdoors and thought they could be introduced from the stage. Turns out... they did one song.
...
The thing is is worrying me the most... scalpers. That Hannah Montana hacker program is going to scoop up a huge majority of the tickets. This is a scalper's wet dream.

I'd like to see them do Baba, but I think that Baba, Won't get fooled again, and My generation will be left for the Who to do or in the "all-star jam". I think Love Reign o'er Me would be an obvious choice for PJ and maybe something else like Behind Blue Eyes or The Seeker would be cool.
Well this is very cool i look forward to checking this out, but i do hope that it does not cause them to cancel or reschedule the Columbia date the night before.
i know when Wilco got picked to do SNL they had to cancel their friday date in charleston the night before so they coudl go and be there in time for rehersals and sound check etcs.... It was kind of a bummer.
I would be SOOOOO upset if PJ just cancelled the show in Columbia :(
hopefully that won't happen.

The VH1 event has been in the books for months, so they wouldn't have put the show onsale if they thought it would conflict.
Would love to be there..
The Who..& Pearl Jam..it can't get any better..
The worst enemies of music? Money and Mathematics. Combined with music, they both do the exact opposite of what they're supposed to do. Money makes music cheap, mathematics makes it stupid and predictable.

How many Who/Pete songs have Pearl Jam and/or Ed covered over the years? I can think of quite a few:
Baba O'Riley
The Kids Are Alright
Love Reign O'er Me
Leaving Here (High Numbers)
Let My Love Open the Door
Blue Red & Grey
There has to be more. I'm just out of ideas.

I saw the VH1 Rock Honors they did for Ozzy a while back and If I remember correctly, I think all the bands got to perform 1 song each; at least VH1 only aired 1 song by each band. The songs peformed are usually the obvious choices...Queens of The Stone Age performed "Paranoid" which was a real let down since they probably could have blown the fucking roof off with something a little more obscure like say: "Into the Void"
Anyways....
It's a safe bet that Pearl Jam will play Baba since it's a song they've covered live many times over the years.
What's interesting is that The Who will likely perform Baba during their own set...which would make it pretty pointless for Pearl Jam to bust it out as well.
Personally...I'd love to hear:
"A Quick One" (a Jam with either the Foo's or Flaming Lips),
"Naked Eye", "The Seeker", or "Young Man Blues" but the chances of hearing those songs are slim to none.
Whatever...I'll be happy regardless of what song they choose to play.
I think we can all agree that their is nobody better suited to covering The Who than Pearl Jam so...It will definately be a grand evening either way.
Here is a run down of last years show from a web search. Might give some insight into this years show.
VH1 ROCK HONORS 2007
Show Date: May 12, 2007
Location: Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S.A.
Venue: Mandalay Bay Events Center

My son Brian and I, thanks to my boss friend, got to be "seat fillers" at the VH1 Rock Honors show. We had to be there about 4:30 for an 8 PM show but it was worth it!! The 1st part was a bit of a pain - being herded like cattle through lines and such. We had a choice between the Pit in front of the stage or seating - we chose seating - we all (there were 7 of us) agreed we did not feel like standing the entire time. Our seats were awesome! Right near the stage on the right hand side. We got spread out and the plan was if anyone showed up that bought ($185 per) a ticket and had that seat you would be relocated - that happened 1 time to me - twice to Bri. So the show opens... Our host is Jackass' Bam Magera, who during the show gives himself a black eye and stage dives only to have the fans drop him!!
There is Nickleback - dressed like agents from M.I.B. - they do an ass kicking version of "Sharp Dressed Man". Out comes Billy Bob Thornton - he introduces ZZ Top - the stage rotates and they come out a rockin with dancing girls in cages - WOW! They rip through "Gimme All Your Lovin", "Le Grange", "Tush" & "Cheap Sunglasses".
Next out comes Cameron Diaz (Brian actually saw her walking past us in the casino earlier!) and she introduces Alice In Chains - fronted by Gretchen Wilson. They do "Barracuda" - Gretchen nails it and Nancy Wilson joins them on guitar!! I saw Ann & Nancy join her on stage at the House of Blues a year or so ago and I told everyone she can hang with Ann vocally - after tonight no one there will argue! After that the stage turns again and there are my Queens of Rock - Ann & Nancy Wilson. They do "Straight On", "Crazy On You" and then something I felt strange - something from Jupiter's Darling, their 2004 release, called "Love Child". With so many other hits ("Magic Man", "These Dreams", "Dog & Butterfly", etc) I just figured they'd one of those.
Well, then the fun started. Robin Williams comes out to introduce Genesis - he takes on the role of a preacher giving a sermon - hilarious! Keane plays "That's All" - a great rendition. Then since Genesis isn't quite ready, Robin Williams goes into a good 10 minute or so laugh fest - picking on the audience, himself, Britney Spears & Paris Hilton - he stole the show. Then when Genesis were ready he goes "OK they're going to introduce me again, pretend I wasn't f-ckin here", and runs down the catwalk spins and comes back and reprises his "preacher" role! Genesis starts off with "Turn Me on Again" and then they did "No Son of Mine". From there they did an instrumental that I have no idea what it was - again I thought it strange since they have so many other hits...
Then came time for Ozzy Osbourne, introduced by Jada Pinkett Smith (wife of Will Smith) who fronts a metal band called Wicked Wisdom that has played at Ozzfest . She first introduces Queens Of The Stone Age and they do a blistering performance of "Paranoid". Jada then has Criss Angel with her who, in honor of Ozzy, "bites" the head off a mouse and brings out Ozzy. He opens with "I Don't Want To Stop" his new single - this is the first time I have heard it and I thought it was pretty damn good. Then he plays "Bark at the Moon" closing with "Crazy Train". While he played Zakk Wylde came up near us - within I'd say 15 feet, and just wailed!!
They concert lasted a little over 2 hours. VH1 I am sure will edit some out for airing on 24 May, but for me getting there over 4 hours prior to the show and all the run around of being a seat filler, I'd do it again next year - in fact cannot wait!
I booked my non-changable flights before I knew about this. I fly to LA on 18th July (darn) - anyone think that there will be some dates on the west coast between 18th and 29th July?? that would be my dream.
I fly to LA for a few day and heading down to San Diego and then back up to LA.. Please I did hear a rumor they would do.. I just hope its not before I arrive or after i go .. I seam destined not to see PJ this year!!! :-(
