“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.”
This is comical to me. Ben is the greater talent? Far superior vocal range?? What the hell are you smoking???
1. I don't smoke.
2. Ben Harper can sing gospel, soul, funk, and the hardest of rock songs.
Again, Ed is clearly the better writer but Ben Harper has vocal cords of gold. I am sure if the two were in a room together Ed would give Ben the nod in vocals.
exactly,,how in the hail hail can take u seriously???
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."

With Ben Harper and the R7 opening they will be the best overall shows hands down.
PJ will not find a better band to open on the east coast.
Actually the only way the Philadelphia shows will come close would be Kings of Leon as the opening band.
They might play longer at the Spectrum, but the overall concert experience will be the west coast shows.
Ben's new band is the REAL DEAL, I was lucky enough to catch him at the 9:30 club about 50 feet from the stage.
Actually Ben might put on a better show than PJ.

I agree with you on the 08 MSG but 03 was right up there with 03 spectrum, I think to me because of them playing MSG after 911[/quote]
It was 2 years later. What did 9/11 have to do with anything?[/quote]
same question here..why????

and finnaly if all of u see a show in europe u will never make this conversation again..about crowd and better ones..

ok Philly peeps...calm down...the Boston shows are the same way..you're not special...let's not over hype your city...there's no need...we will all have an awesome time
I've seen 7 shows in Boston/Mansfield and 3 at MSG and that 4/28/03 crowd has never been recreated yet for me.
and finnaly if all of u see a show in europe u will never make this conversation again..about crowd and better ones..
Agreed, I was able to catch some shows in 2000 in the UK. Although I really want to see them in Italy and Australia before it is all said and done as well as South America. I think the international fans are better since PJ doesn't get over there as much.

Just out of curiosity.....why does there have to be a CONTEST on which city is louder and has the better crowd? :? Don't we ALL like to enjoy the boys no matter WHERE we are?????????

Completely agree.
Every city has it's own vibe. LA is chill and laid back, a show at San Diego State has a lot of college kids, The east coast has a lot of energy.
Europe/South America is unbridled fury/passion.
Each area has a unique culture and that translates to different concert experiences.
I've seen PJ in Boston, NYC, S.D. Vegas, and all over the LA/SB area.
Every show is awesome in it's own right.
EDIT: If all goes right I'll see all 4 shows at the Gibson Amphitheater. Can't believe how psyched I am for that tiny venue!

Thats what i try to tell people when they ask about L.A crowds; its VERY laid back but still loves pearl jam! Like pre-parties in L.A, most of the ones in attendance are out of towners. The locals are like ehhhh i'll get to the show after work or right when the show begins. Every crowd is different. East coast DEFINITELY has some energy!!!

Tone deaf? You can't be serious. The provided link will show magic locked inside Ben's voice.
PJ will not find a better band to open on the east coast.
Said this about R7 way before they announced them as the opening band. And not just the East Coast. Pretty much any and every which corner of the planet Earth.
I have no patience for bad music and stupid people...
The whole world will be different soon the whole world will be RELIEVED
The East Coat is getting no opener it's "A Night With Pearl Jam" a la The Gorge!
well it could be 50/50.
weren't the 06 gorge shows also advertised that way with no opening band. Pearl Jam didn't do the extra set at either of the 06 gorge shows. We all thought they would.. as there was no opener, and they had done it the year before. But nothing in 06. Might of been the heat, I dunno, but don't get your hopes up, just in case.
I too am WAAAAY stoked about BH&R7 opening up for PJ. I will be at both Seattle shows.
Though better overall....I cannot claim that as the Evening With Pearl Jam shows at The Gorge in '05 & '06 were just in a class of their own. So, while I am happy as a pig in slop that BH will be the opener (as I am a big BH fan), i also really liked no opening band at all as more times than not, you are only there to see the headliner.

I am so happy Ben is opening and not the Kings of Leon, don't really care for them at all.
