Hey hey

Just started a new weekly summer residency at a local sports bar. acoustic (mainly) duo stuff. I sing and play rhythm and one of my guitar teachers plays lead, sings backup. Its a "...and friends" night, so we bring up special guests and make it real fun. Played our first one this week and it went well.

Pj related tunes in the sets. Corduroy, present tense, and just breathe (which is the most popular song I play almost always whether people know it or not). I usually also do fixer, given to fly, can't keep.

Looking for good suggestions and more tunes. All music all eras welcome. Let me know what works well for you. Let's get some discussion flowing.

    'Mary Jane's Last Dance'... People like yelling 'Oh My My, Oh Hell Yes'

    Last night was the final night of the thursday summer residency for me and my buddy andrew. We brought out the full drum kit and went off! It was a blast. And to top it off FINALLY had a real PJ fan in attendance (besides my friends). During second set he appeared saying "how about pearl jam, no how about three pearl jam songs!". "Fuck yeah dude!". A moment a long time coming! Busted out with SOLAT, Just Breathe, Given to Fly (semi acoustic with drum kit was sick), and Present Tense. Then when our set was over he ruled the jukebox with pj til closing!

    What a great way to end the summer season!! More good things to come!

    Yeah. That sounds like a great evening! I love it when there's a lot of Pearl Jam in an evening and I'm not responsible. :D
