Highlights: Unthought Known, DTE and Red Mosquito.
Lowlights: The local PBS station in Chicago premiered it at 1am early Monday morning: soooo tired
It's called TIVO
Listened to it Sunday Morning while feeding my babies and we all 3 loved it. I hear the comments about Ed's voice, but overall I thought the whole band sounded great. Matt and Jeff especially. The Porch was one of the better late era porch's I've heard.
I thought their performance was awesome. Ed killed it on Johnny Guitar and Unthought Known. It was great to see them play Inside Job again. Yes, his voice sounded strained at times but I think it's because of the previous shows they did. He sounded on point the next day at ACL. I thought it was funny that Stone was wearing a Backspacer t shirt .
i wish it was longer...I wanted more and more after porch...My wife thought I was nuts dancing in the living room but I could not contain myself..the show almost made me cry then gave me goosebumps then rocked hard...That is why I love that band....
What other songs did they play there? Lukin was great. did not think they would play it there.
What a great Porch.
Inside job was done really well.
Way to go pearl jam you hit the bullseye and played a great tribute to our veterans

Holier than thou....how?
Surrendered...Executed any how........
On sound quality: It's best to watch this show using home theater equipment or a two-channel rig with a sub woofer. I have the latter and experienced almost no sound issues. A DVD or Blu-Ray release with additional sound mixing would be cool. A "director's cut" release with more songs would be good too.
Vedder's vocal problems at the start of the show were ill-timed. Any casual fan could have watched and said with some merit, "he is washed up." Vedder improved over the course of the show. Still, given what I've heard live from him in the last two years, he could have been much better.
And, had his voice been a bit better at the start, this hourlong set would have been a total success.
I thought it awesome- I think Ed sounded and looked beautiful and I love his emotions that seem to be on the surface more in his performances as of late. It brought back wonderful Philly memories for me and it will be a daily watch for me for awhile.
I did notice the audience very laid back but perhaps that was the feel the promoters wanted. I was definitely
making more noise in my own living room then what I saw there.
Thanks PJ for this special show you always take good care of your fans.
I think it's time Eddie started laying off of the cigarettes a bit.
TOTALLY AGREE
I am not so sure it's just the cigs or something else? He also looked puffy. It was talked about after Conan, but that thread was just Ed looks fat? He looked puffy like holding fluid, like maybe he was on steroids or something else for an ailment? Also in the interview afterward the right side of his face looked swollen? I mean he was really laboring on those first few songs. You can also hear a difference in his voice overall on the album? I love the album and his voice, but to me he almost sounds sick, like head cold sick on some of the tracks?
What I am getting at is I just saw him 3 out of 4 nights in Philly and his voice sounded nothing like this ACL recording!He was absolutely on the money! He also looked noticeably thinner in Philly? I know he had been touring and any rust and weight should come off, especially with as hard as he works every night. This just seems different?? Anyone else think about this?
I'm finally home after a four-day commitment to the arts and enthusiastically got to watch this terrific performance. I don't know if it's me, but it seems especially emotional. Can't wait to watch it again.

i dont know if you watch many ACL shows but its usually some alt country or sad song band. its always pretty sedated and relaxed. i kinda like it. actually i think that was the most i've ever seen anyone move on that show. i wasn't expecting some crazy concert crowd or anything.
didn;t bother me at all.
i want to know who that blonde with the blue shirt was though. she was cute.
I've watched the HD version many times over now...can't get enough of this and the subtleties are phenomenal. The emotion that exudes from Inside Job (among others) makes me cry it's so good. It's an emotional show and touches all that's good in us. They look so content and happy to be there! Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I count my blessings for family and Pearl Jam!
makes much more sense, to live in the present tense

yeah that has to be of of the highest energy shows (on stage) for ACL.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the mix of the broadcast. People saying you can't hear stone need to turn up their hearing aids or actually pay attention to who plays what...because he's definitely up in the mix.
The band is sloppy at times on the performance but the sound is fine.
"Well, I think this band is incapable of sucking."

I have the agree with people who say they can't hear Stone!
I have listened to it twice and it strikes me even if the sound comes out of good sound system (not tv).
On the performance side, I really liked Red Mosquito with Ben Harper. Ben is sooo into it! Inside Job was also excellent.
Sorry for the people who dig Just Breath.....It just doesn't work for me. The beginning of the song with the keyboard..... I can't stand it! However, I think the song gets better after the first chorus. I don't like Ed's voice in the first verse.
The other Backspacer songs were great! I hope to see them in Montreal in 2010! It's been more than 4yrs....they've been to Europe twice since the 2005 tour!

I thought Ed sounded rough at the festival....contributing it to staying up late drinking and smoking w ben.
wow...some people, i have to say this performance was stellar! ed looked and sounded like an angel...the boys were tearing it up...super emotional and powerfull! these guys can do no wrong. a completly brilliant performance. lukin with strings, fucking killer!

I have never heard a "bad" Porch, from any era. But that's just my really good opinion.
You're batman!- George
Yeah...yeah...I AM batman!!- Kramer
cool!
probably won't get around to watching it until wednesday or this weekend, but really looking forward to it!
love the DV-R.
Let's just breathe...
I am myself like you somehow
The jam in porch was really good. Particularly when Stone and Mike are "soloing" together.
I'd like more of that.

So were you in Philly when he flexed for the crowd and said he was 44, but still had something left? lol

They have to be at some point right?
Anyone know where we can check the PBS channel schedule to see?
Alpine Valley Resort is etched in my brain!!!
didn;t bother me at all.

I must be the only person who has never owned a DVR. :oops:
Just not the same watching on the computer.
great post!

You guys have to remember that most of that crowd were high dollar contributors to ACL and celebrities. Not PJ fans.
