I'm just wondering what it was like. I was thinking on ordering it from 10club. Just wondering what was all on it for tracks and what people on here thought of it? Thanks!
I don't, but will be keeping an eye on this thread as i'm also intrigued by it and considering a purchase... thanks for putting this thread up!
Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
from what ive heard its not a whole lot of the choir... basically a solo ed acoustic venture with minor backup vox by many african children... i like the version of betterman from the xmas single but thats all ive heard from it... and i kindof have a thing for foreign / tribal music... so if thats not your thing i wouldnt recommend it... id like to hear other tracks... i suppose if its still available for sale someone couldnt post a link to d/l?
I have it & am not a big fan of it, listened to it twice and it's just not my type of thing. Hardly any Ed at all and mainly just the choir.

The three Eddie tracks are ok, the rest is dire, good cause and all that, but still dire. Still have to have it in the collection.....Long Road makes it worth it...
I tend to agree with everyone here. . . the whole 3 tracks that ed sings on are OK at best (just pj songs with the chior in the back). The rest is just the chior by themselves. . . possibly ed doing some instrumental work, I haven't listened to it in a while. It's a good cause, but if you're looking for something that is going to blow your mind, keep looking, it's not here.
I have it because of the charity cause. It was a good idea but I think it was recorded too fast, there's no concept. But the kids' voices are incredible and some african song is are good.
Beavis : Is this Pearl Jam?
Butt-head: This guy makes faces like Eddie Vedder.
Beavis: No, Eddie Vedder makes faces like this guy.
Butt-head: I heard these guys, like, came first and Pearl Jam ripped them off.
Beavis: No, Pearl Jam came first.
Butt-head: Well, they both suck.
I can't stand it. I really don't like African High School choir music, and I'm not going to just because Eddie apparently does. That Love Boat Captain would be AWESOME if it wasn't for the background singing.

I love "Long Road" and enjoy the whole cd in general. I often like a mellow change of pace and this cd really fits the bill . I enjoy the choir music in the same way that I enjoy some of the stuff Paul Simon did or U2's " Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" . I have no problem being uplifted once in a while.

Listened to it all the way through a couple times, but I LOVE the Ed tracks. I like the concept of Ed and the kids but I just wish there was more of it. I think it would have been awesome to have Ed try to sing on some of the African tracks. Betterman and Long Road sound soooooo beautiful on this, and Love Boat Captain is decent enough, but the arrangement of the singing makes it somewhat redundant to me. I'm glad I bought it because it was worth a listen, and of course the Ed songs make it worthwhile. I ended up just putting the three tracks (plus the improv one with him on drums) on my iPod and leaving the rest off. It's nice to have though, a reminder of why I love this band beyond their music.

I agree totally. Loved the concept and the songs with Ed, just wish there were more songs with Ed on it. It's definitely worth checking out. I did the same thing, just put the three songs with Ed on my iPod and left the rest off.

The CD is worth it for the ED tracks. LBC is great on it and the first time I heard better man with the choir singing it at the end it gave me goose bumps. My girlfriend who thinks PJ is ok, absolutely loves the LBC track. All I am saying is that it is a unique spin on the songs and it is worth for the three Eddie tracks. The songs sound very dark & crisp which I like.
I appreciate it, but I like me some good ole rockin Pearl Jam!
Totally agree Mic! but glad Ed had a chance to influence a few young lives while he recorded this. I think I'll blow the dust off of mine and put it in right now..

Sorry...
If it makes you feel any better I don't like American high school choir music either.
