YAAAAS !!! My joint third favourite band (With Sonic Youth and the Black Keys)
This has made my year
no actually Pearl Jam playing Wembley made my year
this will be my gig of a life probably :):):):)
words cannot describe my happiness haha
Life is like a Pearl Jam concert.....you never know what you're gonna get
Yeah, my first impression is 'yawn' as well... Their songs are just background music at best. Regardless, I've downloaded an album or two...it's always better to at least have a clue about a band you're seeing...even if it is just the opening act.
Interpol are opening a show/s...pity they're not doing Wembley, they're a million times better than Idlewild.
I'd be saying 'yawn' if Interpol were opening.....they're one of the dullest bands I've ever heard!
I'm glad to see at least one or two folk besides myself are pleased about Idlewild opening

i dont know who first said they didnt get on with pearl jam on tour. here's an itnerview excerpt i read with the bass player at the time of the tour
Q- Maybe it was the exalted feeling of leaning on the piano on the stage where Idlewild were to perform later on, as I had a burning desire to delve into the topic of their live sound. They have toured with Pearl Jam and did a friendly and low-key acoustic tour, what did they take as a band from those experiences?
A- "Touring with Pearl was the greatest three weeks in my careers as a musician. They are humble guys who write songs how they write songs, simply. We loved doing the acoustic tour and showcasing our new material in venues we had never played before."
Q- I couldn't resist enquiring as to whether or not it was much different opening for Pearl Jam than touring with Coldplay, a pleasure that has also been theirs in the past? A wry smile preceded the amiable Irishman's reply;
A- "Well, I mean Coldplay haven't been going as long so they don't have hardcore fans in the sense that Pearl Jam do. We really admire Eddie Vedder and his band they are so self contained, when you are that big you can afford to do it all by yourselves and ignore outside influences."

doesnt seem to dislike pj
thanks for that! Sounds like they enjoyed PJ for sure.
"This town deserves a better class of criminal... and I'm gonna give it to them."
Been a fan of them for about 10 years now and seen them live a bunch of times before.
Their new record is excellent and is my favourite album thus far this year.
Just hope I can get in intime to see them.....awesome.....it's going to be legendary
Hear hear. Totally agree. They had lost their way a little over last album BUT their new album is fantastic. Just saw them a few weeks ago in Aberdeen ... they played a long set as it was being filmed for a live DVD, cracking set, a band re-inspired. A welcome addition ... for me anyway.
I don't know the band but I hope to listen to some good music while waiting for PJ.
Still hoping for Chris Cornell to show up anyway...

is it me or do they sound a lot like R>E.M. I reckon they will set a good mood for pearl jam why not.
They're definitely heavily influenced by the 80s R.E.M. stuff.....and thats a good thing
They're also heavily influenced by a lot of folk stuff and Sonic Youth.

How about this? Rather than an opening band - since clearly everybody there, particularily on that night (damn you lucky bastards!), are gonna be going absolutely mad for PJ - instead of an opener, just have Karl Pilkington on stage for a half hour, discussing his various theories and/or scientific factoids and such.

I'm sure that would be interesting....but I'd still rather have Idlewild if it's all the same

I concur. Love Idlewild. Their new album is great.

After seeing Idlewild in March i'd have to say that 'Ghost In The Arcade' is the best song LIVE chosen from their new album.
Yeah, I can imagine that one working very well live. I also really like If It's Takes You Home and Once In Your Life off the new record.

Idlewild are great and back to their rockin best. Saw them support PJ in Irvine and San Diego 03.
And to whoever mentioned that they didn't enjoy the support slot, that's a load of bollocks as I spoke to Roddy (singer) and Colin (drummer) about supporting PJ and they absolutely loved the experience. Allan (guitarist) is an old school grunge head as well.
Looking forward to it...
