    Personally, anybody who comments on how Eddie looks is an asshat. Everybody gets older. Who cares. He is an artist, not a runway model. Besides, I think he looks just fine! :D

    I thought he looked pretty freaking good last night. He's got a few grays, but so do I, and I'm a 13 years younger than him and a woman!

    The sound quality was terrible during Unthought Known. Hard to hear anybody except for Ed, especially Boom.

    It's rare that I focus my "Saturday Night Live" recap on the musical guest, but Pearl Jam overshadowed host Jude Law and the "SNL" players this week.

    It wasn't Law's fault. He was fine--charming, warm and a total pro in the sketches. But the material just wasn't there. This week's edition felt a little tired, as if the "SNL" writers and performers were exhausted after three weeks of original shows. Maybe Loren Michaels should stick to the two-weeks-on, two-weeks-off schedule.

    Back to Pearl Jam. Wow, if ever a musical guest deserved a third performance it was this week. Eddie Vedder sounded amazing singing "Just Breathe" and "Unthought Known" from "Backspacer." Instead of repeating the Under-Underground Records (another sign cast and crew needed a break), "SNL" could have let Eddie and the boys play another tune.

    Hmm. I'm sensing an (awesome) pattern here. Guess all the haters must just live behind their computers.

    Jude Law was the host, but musical guest Pearl Jam was the real star of last night’s episode of “Saturday Night Live.”

    Pearl Jam sounded great in their two songs, and they proved be funny too, popping up briefly in a send-up “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet,” the famous “Twilight Zone” episode starring William Shatner as a man who sees a gremlin on the wing of an airplane. In “SNL’s” version, Law plays the Shatner role, and the gremlin is joined on the wing by Pearl Jam.

    As for Pearl Jam: Eddie Vedder sounded terrific twice, on both the ballad and the rocker. The band also made a cameo in the Twilight Zone sketch that almost lifted the bit into hilarity. Well done, gentlemen.

    I've watched SNL pretty religiously for 20 years.....it's ALWAYS been funny....and people ALWAYS say how awful it is.

    Not every skit is great but even back when the the show was brand new they had shitty skits

    I completely forgot they were playing, but was happy that Google keeps up with what I like to hear about. So I watched them on Hulu (the musical performances) and have to say I liked what I saw. I wish they weren't such a boutique band that I could see them live, but in the meantime, I feel happy with what I did get to see. I think people who don't follow the band might be impressed enough with them to check out the new album.

    Thanks for the youtube links. Videos are up on the NBC site, but they lag like crazy.


    Both performances were solid, love that Zinn guitar. One thing I noticed is that stage is pretty small for a six piece and strings. Especially the way this group likes to spread out.

    They looked absurdly crammed up the whole time! McCready looked like he had about a 30" circle that he had to stay in the entire duration of "Unthought Known", which clearly is not how he normally operates. Anyway, I thought they chose two perfect songs for that performance and can't wait until they return to NYC in May. Fingers crossed for the 10C onsale this week!
