Maybe you could play a midday show on for us Ten Clubbers as a warm up on the 27th. Jordan could belt out a decent version of Leash couldn't he

Hey fellow kiwis...(well actually im an irishman who calls NZ home..)..Im a musician who moved to NZ in 2005 to be part of The Jordan Luck Band (singer from The Exponents)...Im also an obsessive PJ fan....
Ive got a question for you....the last time PJ played at the Mt Smart Super Top my fellow band mate opened for PJ...his band's name was Dead Flowers...he still tells me that it was one of his most memorable shows with Dead Flowers...just wondering if any of you saw their set...Id love to hear about it...His name is Bryan Bell and he was the lead singer of Dead Flowers...I do have the bootlegs of PJ sets, altho the quality of theme are really awful...I'd love to hear if any of you saw the Dead Flowers set...He's not a big PJ fan and he constantly winds me up that he only sees PJ when he opens for them!!!
Cant wait for this years tour...doing Mel, Syd, Bris, Akl and CC....Hopefully hear some stories from you guys!!
...
i LOVE "how is the air up there" i hope thats the correct name? awesome song. i havnt seen the exponents either but would be pretty fucking cool. i could imagine jordan singing "leash"

JB Hifi Albany didn't yet, so I guess none of them do. Haven't checked RG.
Did everyone see this:
"Pearl Jam are hijacking The Rock this Saturday - from 8-10pm, we're playing Pearl Jam's August 11th 'Sheperds Bush Empire' gig in it's entirety. The set-list is a massive 26 songs long, and includes tracks from the new album 'Backspacer' (in-stores Fri 18 Sep).
The show sold out in a cool 17 minutes, and is widely acknowledged as one of Pearl Jam's best. Tune in Saturday night for your Pearl Jam fix."
Anyone been able to access the 'two free concert downloads' as per the sticker on the front. Nothing happens when I put mine in the computer??

ditto :(
i got my copy this afternoon and was supposed to go straight to my mates place but instead went for a drive to listen to it in its entirety. decided the best place to go was the southern coast... so i drove down to island bay and parked up overlooking the water. it was awesome. the weather was kinda shit, but that just made the waves crashy and misty and i could see the snowy peaks in the south island all lit up by the sun.
okay, just tried it on my parents computer and it looks like it wants to work.. of course i don't WANT to download them onto a PC that aint mine cuz that's just gonna result in faffing about. but at least it works...somewhere...

That sounds like a legendary first listen!
I had mine on Friday avo while frantically packing for Seattle. Had some whoohoo jumping round the room moments to Got some and the fixer. Loving the first three tracks the most so far, Got some the most.
It works on mine, well I haven't tried to download yet but it starts up. When yuo put it in your computer it might not autoplay. Just check the CD Drive on your computer and see if there's some files there, then run the backspacer.exe.
ooh yay. wonder if it not getting there week 1 was because it was released on a friday? aren't most records released on tuesdays here? or is that long since not true?
anyways, i may or may not have just written a letter to the band (dear pearl jam) asking for black in auckland.. FINGERS CROSSED!
JUST POSTED THIS ON ANOTHER THREAD...INTERESTING...
The latest RIP IT UP magazine in NZ is a Pearl Jam special...Eddie is guest editor (but i should stress I would have to use this term loosely, its basically just a small excerpt on ed).....There is a great article on the whole band...a small piece on ed talking about the history of Alive, STBC, off he goes, last kiss and The Fixer...a page of great ed quotes....a review of Backspacer giving it 4/5 and piece that I guess you could call "the essential pearl jam by writer Gina Williams"....
So heres Miss Williams guide to PJ...and I quote....
START HERE= TEN (91) "its complex arrangements recall great years of yore such as Hendrix and Zep, yet it is self-aware enough not to fall into stadium rock territory"
THEN GET= VS. (93) "a band clearly learning to deal with their newly acquired fame"
THE WILD CARD= RIOT ACT (02) "RA saw PJ retreat to their Vitalogy days, with just the right amount of burly art rock that hits the listener hard"
AVOID= YIELD (98) "despite one non status quo moment on the spoken word "push and pull me", its a rather straightforward effort"
ADVANCED LISTENING= Bootlegs "hundreds to wade through"
End of quotes...back to me...wow is all i can say....AVOID YIELD....one word...WRONG.....!!!
Must say for most PJ fans i think theres really nothing new in this PJ edition of Rip It Up...Pretty disappointing.
Peace and Love from NZ, Joe
