    I think the DM songs sounded great live. And 8 months later or whatever, I still feel as if that album would have held its own if it were released 20+ years ago. It's damn good. 

    Dance was weird...but I actually enjoyed the fact that most of the arena, outside of tenclubbers, didn't really know it. Made it seem weirder to me. One of the highlights of the show, strangely, imo. 

    More than half the crowd is there for the hits though and probably don't know much of DM or the last few records so that's likely a big factor to those songs feeling a little off I guess. 



    I don't know man, I am all for them to keep making new music but it's been mostly not good to average at best - albeit DM(and Eddie's solo album) has bucked some of that trend.

    I think you could have went heavy on Yield/Binaural/Riot Act/Avocado (less "hitsy" records, sans Yield) on Saturday and that show would have still been absolute fire.

    Also I’m a prime candidate to leave this show early. Never really like The National that much.

    Great example of a band that's more of a Studio Band, though they definitely have a rabid fan base that would say otherwise.

    See I think DM is significantly better than the last three records...it didn't just clear a low bar for me, it is a legitimately good Pearl Jam record.

    Agree on your second point.

    Yeah, "significantly" isn't a stretch for sure.

    Yeah, I've been thinking about this a good bit because of these shows. I feel like all the albums since basically after Avocado have really screwed with the flow of shows to some extent.

    Thank you. I get slammed for that opinion. Last four just HAVE NOT BEEN THAT GOOD. DM is probably the best of the bunch, but still.

    Some dope in the Missoula thread opined DM “might be their best.” STFU.
    I'd say Gigaton and DM are the better of the last 4, and DM is their best of them. There is just something about these songs that changed the sound for the worse at a show. Always feel like a piss break song or just completely kills the momentum and mood of a show. But I get it, they're not going on some of these tours if it's not to tour the new albums. But I'd say Binaural & Riot Act are their most challenging, eclectic albums, but even those bring a great vibe to a show.

    I dunno, I know this is just old men yelling at clouds about other old men playing music, but it's wild & bizarre to me how many people that have become fans like post-2010 and are mainly fans because of these newer albums. They just mostly feel like studio-only albums and just don't play that great live. And then on top of it they're competing for real estate in an even-more limited setlist space that pushes better stuff out.
    word.

    and, no, Juggler, DM is not “damn good.” it’s decent, at best.

    It’s god damn good. Waiting for Stevie is basically a dream. Who’d have thought they’d make a song like that at this point? Setting Sun is amazing, and a new closer! Upper Hand is epic. And some punk songs - I’d rather head Running or React than MYM any day.

    You are wrong, sir. Gigaton was decent. Johnny Abruzzo said:

    I believe they just made Stevie a radio single too. Would love to see them play it on SNL at some point soon.

    I knew the song but couldn’t remember the name. Thought it was gonna be a pre-tag to something. Then Eddie was pantomiming a bow and arrow. Then it was done.

    It has been an absolute joy having Franzke take McCarthy's place the last couple weekends.
