Mach, how would you rank 'Backspacer' among the rest of their catalogue? And, would you also be willing to give us some little bits of information to wet our appetites? Thanks
And if any board member gets to be a part of this listening party--it is their duty to report back!
So.... I've been listening to the Edge at work and even though I have 10C tix, I thought I'd give it a shot to hook someone else up (and because I like a PJ challenge).
About an hour ago they played a mash of 5 PJ songs in about 2 seconds. They were "Corduroy", "Alive", "Animal", "Better Man" & "Black." I tried calling for about 10 minutes and wasn't getting through so I decided to get back to work. About 10 minutes later the DJ said no one has won yet.
I conveniently work across the street from the Edge and decided to take 5 and try to win in person. I walked in and the guy told me I could definitely give it a shot in person. I did and he told me he didn't think my answer was correct. I then told him he's wrong and he laughed and said he'll check with the DJ when he gets off the phone with the caller. Unfortunately, the caller that was on the phone when I walked in answered correctly and when they went to break I asked the DJ if I was right and I was... They laughed. I cried.

Good luck tomorrow! I won't be in the office.
Maybe Wednesday we can go in together!

Sorry man! :( But wow! I can't believe they laughed at ya. If I was part of Pearl Jam management and heard about this, I would so not let The Edge even in on Backspacer leaks or prizes. It's funny, their DJ's @ The Edge got the power cause they got live mic skills; but they laugh @ their fans behind closed mics. Great job there guy's! :roll:

I took no offense. It was all in good fun.
But if I do win this week, I think you may have an extra 10C pair to auction off if you'd like (assuming permission is granted... and I win, of course).

Don't think there will be a problem, if you are auctioning them off for charity. There shouldn't be. If so, let them contact me.
Here's wishing you good luck tomorrow & Wednesday!

Did they mention where the seats are? If I (long shot, I know) win, I'll get my 10C tickets early (noon or one) and come deliver them to be auctioned off for charity as well.

I tried calling in too. When I finally did get through I could hear the DJ talking to the guy who won. I think the DJ was mistaken though. The order clearly was:
1. Corduroy
2. Alive
3. Animal
4. Better Man
5. Black
The guy that called in said them in that order and the DJ hesitated for a second and said that he mixed up Animal and Better man but would give him the tickets anyways since he was so close. I wonder if you said them in the correct order but the DJ/Producer were mistaken. I had it on tape and am 100 percent certain of the order but the DJ said it was Better man and then Animal.
I am just as pissed Deebs...i got through after the first 2 clips were played.......I had heard 4 out of the 5 song clips but couldnt make out the 2nd one which was Alive......when i was talking to him on the phone i had asked him if he could play it again and he said he would be playing it again when they got back from commercial......I had corduroy,then he made me take a guess at the 2nd one and i said Daughter which was wrong so i proceeded to name the other 3 and he was amazed because i was the first caller that came that close right away.Anwyay when he played it again after the commercial i finally heard that it was Alive and tried calling in again with no luck.Oh well,try again tomorrow

The seats will probably be 300s or 400s I would think. I like how they geared the contest towards hardcore fans. Only sickos like us will be able to figure this shit out, it's just a matter of getting through.
Good on you for trying as well!

I was standing right there when this was going on. I had the right order, but they already were giving the tix to the guy that mixed them up. One of us should be able to win at least one of the days. If anyone else is in the area, you can run in! Today it took almost half an hour for someone to win and it was some popular songs, it can only get harder, so better chance for us.

How do you get in on this?
ITS GOOD, BUT NOT THAT GOOD!
They're giving tickets to the concert away all week and if you win you get to go to the listening party as well.
That's pretty cool of the edge.

The station still sucks donkey testicles.
If it meant Todd the turd or Dean Buffoon are going to be there then I'd pass.

there's a ... lot to be said for nowhere."
At the Amphitheatre, I believe he means.
Hopefully it'll be 3 or 4 tracks from the new record!
Fuck it! The whole Backspacer will be played from start to finish!
:ugeek:
Sure, why not?
It's only about the length of an encore or 2.
