"Today 3/16/2010 – in what might be the craziest lineup the band has ever been a part of, with Shaun White, Michael Buble’, Nick Jonas, Lady Antebellum, and Norah Jones – Pearl Jam played a three-song set at (where else) the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota at Target’s National Sales Conference. Pearl Jam was last on the bill and played The Fixer, The Real Me (The Who) and Porch." (source two feet thick)
Look at the lineup along with the band. Unreal.

Thank you its not like Eddie is doing duets with the fuckin jonas brothers on american idol
And Target made a profit from selling the album. Pearl Jam is not comprised of chattels.

they'd been on life support a while though.
i just hate when the sheeple who have rooms dedicated to their Eddie shrine get all uptight about it and try to come up with very creative reasons why they havent.

Although they really sold long before today, They are just shoving it in people's faces now.
A few of us are trying to put our finger on when they jumped the shark.
Some say 2006, When they brought out the lasers during the shows and Ed was drinking water out of his wine bottle at every show.
I think it was even earlier... When Jack was booted.
So after going to 100 plus shows starting at Cameo 1992, I bid PJ adu.
R.I.P.
Pearl Jam
1990-2010
...1990-1998 Ed is rolling over in his grave...

well said
Anyways we live in a world where nothings sacred, so let's just go with it and have a good time.
That allowed them to play music for a living and get their music out to people. If they had to compromise their values for that, then that would be selling out, but it's 2010 and they've been at this for 20 years. Sure they can play whatever they want but it's just disheartening that this is the kind of gig they decide to do.

they have to do this gig dude. dont you think they did this for sony over the the years. its called kissing ass sometimes if you wanna remain in good standing with a big company you have to do it. target WAS THE ONLY company that would allow pj to sell backspacer on this very site and at indie stores. you people would probably bitch had backspace not been sold on here or in the indie stores. its like pj cant win with you people.

And I bet those guys on the Target Board of Directors get TEMPORARILY OUT OF STOCK for five hours

Signing with SubPop would've never given them the security they found with Sony. I can't fault them for that. They were lucky to get such a deal in the first place considering they hadn't been together that long as a band. And again, Target made profit from selling Backspacer. It's not like they bent over backwards for Pearl Jam and lost money on the deal. Don't tell me that a millionaire band has to kiss ass and do that gig. And don't tell me they didn't get a pocketfull of money to do it.

1998 ed would despise 2010 ed
Seriously, who actually gives a fuck about this? Did anybody die? Is the world about to end? No, I didn't think so. What difference does it actually make to our lives?
Get over it.
