    i never said thank you so don't say your welcome. my dvr shit the bed as well so i went to fallons website and watched this first thing this morning. I considered everyone else wasn't a retard and did the same thing so didn't post it here.

    Its like when someone posts the new pj20 link that is released every day here. Uh.. .no shit. Your not special because your the first to cut n paste. This is a pearl jam fan board. Its one thing if an article comes out of nowhere that is posted on the web in the middle of a down time for the band. Its great that you can find it here.

    But come on... we are in the middle of pj20 there is a website that releases a new link every day. Do we really all have to race to be the first to post it here? we are all checking it. Everyone is checking Fallon's late night website. You are not welcome.

    I was absolutely floored when I first heard it, mainly because I was baked out of my mind though. The whole fallon show was a great surprise to say the least. I wasn't expecting much honestly turning it on. Pearl jam usually does crappy performances on talk shows. Eddie always looks like he doesn't want to be there on TV. But last night was epic. The moment Fallon said "we have a small musical guest tonight, no biggee you may have heard of em... PEARL JAM!" and the audience went crazy loud, I knew it was gonna be a great show. He couldn't stop talking about PJ during the show. Its like the entire episode was dedicated to them. Eddie coming out to do "balls in your mouth" was something they would've NEVER done even a few years ago. That was totally and completely left field. But you know what, it was HILARIOUS. Something that they need. Then when Cameron Crowe came out they started talking about how a PJ show is like no other band. That really got me going. Of course the eddie and kurt thing was great to see as well. Oh and the book Fallon was showing off, you could tell he loved the book. (and giving it away for free was incredible on the shows and PJ's part)

    and then when things couldn't possibly get any better, they played a new song which was absolutely incredible. Ole is such a breath of fresh air to me. Backspacer was catchy as hell, but some of it was a tad "forced". This isn't at all. Oh and then he said it will be online to download for free.

    PJ, you completely restored my faith in your band. I haven't been excited about PJ in awhile.

    OH
    and could you tell
    that Jimmy
    is a HUGE
    PJ fan or what?

    When he was talking about that footage of Eddie and Kurt I could have imagined myself or any one of us with that same look on our face and our hand over our hearts as well

    You go Fallon!

    And Ole...I have to say when I hear a lot of PJ's new songs lately (Backspacer), as opposed to earlier on when they hit like a ton of bricks, it takes a few listens to really get to lovin' it...and especially when you see it on TV, the sound quality is just not usually there, but THIS...THIS is A.W.E.S.O.M.E.!

    Can't wait to see it live and in person!

    And can't wait to hear more

    Let's start a guess the date of the new album tour in 2012 for the US :) I go with May/June NYC/Philly area.
    peace,

    Interesting - I just listened to Olé from the YouTube video posted on the official PJ page, and it sounds like a different mix than the free mp3 download from the PJ20 countdown page...a lot more low end. I wonder if it's because the free mp3 is compressed, and maybe the audio track of the Youtube video was taken from a wav or higher quality file. Thoughts?

    Right?! Fallon didn't just do some homework, he's been a big fan and it showed! His excitement made me enjoy their two nights even more. I love that he's had Tres Mts and Pearl Jam on, and that he loves this band as much as we do.

    I really think this would have been awesome as part of a holiday single. this and of the earth (live or studio). a new studio track on vinyl would have been one helluva surprise.
