I think we left like a half hour after you did... I wasn't thrilled about hearing the coverband massacre anymore songs and was starving. I have to say we did enjoy your exit songs

Hmmm Tweeter lots sound like 5PM opening lots = thumbs down

I do remember coming upstairs after hearing that shitty band "playing" Gwar or some crap like that and hearing "The Final Countdown", then I knew Julie got to the jukebox.

LOL....are you sure you still like Pearl Jam?!?!? LOL

I was just thinking about that loosely last night and this morning in some context...

Yes, I am.

However, I believe that I have had some feelings brewing here and there about some things for a little while, but they were nothing to speak of. I think once the album came out it was the last straw taste wise for me.
While the album is of a personal preference type criticism, the merchandising I believe is another issue all together. While Pearl Jam is displayed, through their own design, as anti-establishment, and moreso in the past in light of their recent publicity push for the new album (eg. AOL Sessions for one) I believe that they are establishment. I think the fact that they sell merchandise, to the delight of the fans or not, is establishment. I think that the selling of sub-par quality materials and sizing at the Canadian/NA shows, and now continuing on this tour shows that they do not have approval or don't want it on theit items, and are willing to take the fans money. That is not "Pearl Jam" as I always had the ideal of them in my head in the past. In perspective, and growing up as fans of others themselves, they would not like their merchandise either, and I couldn't see Ed plunking down $28 to buy a 2 shirt that normally fits him having to go 1-2 sizes larger and be paper thin. I feel that while they are busy. etc. which is the nature of the business, it's no excuse because it's the nature of any business, they simply don't take or make the time to oversee some things that should be better handled with respect to us. I don't want more and I never asked for better, until now. It's not more that I am asking here form a greed standpoint, and better in a up-from-sub-par-quality standpoint. The bootlegs are another example. Let's cut some more corners. They are a huge sales boon for them and were at one time a great product, but are now over simplified and have horrible downloading issues, and are not edited well from what I have seen.

Ed bashes the President and the government at every show I've seen in recent memory, so maybe I'm just feeling this on my end with them and exercising it.

PJ, please open with PARACHUTES at the Gorge!

---

Anyone who was at the Gorge last year would agree upon the majesty of that venue. This may be premature, but since Parachutes has not been played, I wondered if they are saving it for something special.

How awesome would it be for them to open with Parachutes at the gorge? I think it would be more than appropriate. What is everyones thoughts on this?

Just jumping on here to say I really, really enjoy the new album and can't wait for the Philly shows. That being said, I have to agree with you on the merchandise point. I'm not plunking down yet another $28 to get a shirt that is by far the worst quality concert T-shirts I've ever had. Did that on the Canadian tour. It wouldn't kill them to use Fruit of the Loom or Haynes or something. They did that on the Riot Act tour.

Ok, Avocado/8/"PJ" was the lamest, but only up to that point.
