    been there and done that with this sound

    Then why are you even wasting your time in this thread? You live in Missouri

    one thing i'll say about this band is that they've done just about every sound. If you've heard a song or two it's really hard to make a decision on whether you like them or not. But to each their own
    “I know this song so well, I can smoke a cigarette, have a drink, brush my teeth, take a shit, and mow the lawn while singing it. But I'll only be doing a couple of those things during this version.”

    haven't heard them before...just downloaded their discography and I'm reasonably impressed...looking forward to it! So much better than a lot of openers PJ has...other than Death Cab, this will be my favorite PJ opener (but I didn't get to see the Black Keys or KOL when they were openers!) ...be happy it's not the buzzcocks...I know I am!

    Great news!

    Haven't seen these guys since '99.

    Ben Ottewell is a f*cking great singer. I would love to hear a duet with him and Ed doin 'Get Miles'...

    Please come and open for PJ in Chicago. These guys are great. They will be at the 10k Music Festival in Northern MN with Wilco and DMB. Would be nice to see them open for PJ though.

    brian from scotland here.first of all,absolutely delighted beyond belief u guys are back in uk so soon.i was blown away at wembley when u ended with indifference (my favourite lyrics by any artist ever,i have some of them tatooed on my arm).
    i am taking my girlfriend to manchester (her first time at a pj gig) she is very,very excited.gomez are a superb live outfit and a classy bunch of guys (no suprise that pj are associated with these type of people).i am sure they will find some new fans.
    it will be a privilege to see u guys again and will be uber no matter what songs u play.i am sure u get thousands of requests,if we could hear BLACK LIVE! we would forever be happy.
    all the very best to all involved at pearl jam and all of their families.brian and angie

    PJ have always liked Gomez as can be heard on the Pinkpop 2000 boot (if I remember correctly) when Ed tells the crowd to go and check them out on the other stage. :)

    Who is Gomez?????? Just a band that I buy full cds worth of music by. Their latest, A New Tide, is pretty solid, having three songs I really, really like, "Mix," "Natural Reaction," and "Airstream Driver." I would say that I'd wish they'd open for PJ in North America, but since the chances of PJ coming anywhere near where I'd be willing to travel to are approximately the same as Pearl Jam performing on an ice floe in the middle of Chesapeake Bay tomorrow, I guess the best I can do is wish that Gomez make a diversion of Denver this July and go a bit south. But, anyway, Gomez is pretty good. They've put out pretty good albums in the last few years, and have put out some outstanding songs that I personally rank as among my favorite of all time. If you haven't given them a twirl, you really should treat yourself.
