I think Mikes voice has a kinda John Lennon kinda sound to it...
Has anyone else listened to Better Days yet?
Hey I was thinking Mike's singing is a bit Beatleish too.
Does anyone know where I can get a download of the latest Single?
Not sure what I think of that Better Days song yet .. sounds like an Ed solo song more than a Pearl Jam song.

Looked so cold there in some of those tour pics?
What were the temps for the tour?...
Brisbane I was so over the sun same in Perth...
Adelaide was the heat...
Sydney was the killer 42 deg I think...
I would've died
Ohhh guess what I just got and am listening to right now ---- my very first PJ concert EVER when I was 15 -- never heard it before -- FUCK YEAAAAHHH!!!
03/22/95 - Entertainment Centre: Brisbane, Australia [130m]
attendance: 15,000
support act: The Meanies
set: Oceans, Last Exit, Corduroy/Not for You, Tremor Christ, Animal, Dissident, Go, Daughter/Improv, Deep, Jeremy, Footsteps, Rearviewmirror, Immortality, Alive, Black, Blood
enc 1: State of Love and Trust, Whipping, I Got You, Better Man/Brisbane rhyme, Porch
enc 2: Against the 70s, Sonic Reducer, Indifference
notes: The crowd in the pit area picks up the seats and they are carried to the back of the auditorium. People are packed in too tightly and Ed says, "... up here, we got a problem. We gotta clear some room. Please everyone, if you wanna do something for me, as a favor ... everyone take like five steps back ... now on the next song, jump up and down not forward, OK?" and PJ slams into 'RVM.' A full version of the Split Enz 'I Got You' is dedicated to "... the girl who changed her fuckin' name to Pearl Jam." Mike gets wild and creative during an extended 'Porch' jam and Ed wraps up the song by repeating "I'm happy, I hope you're happy, too ..." a couple of times (likely a David Bowie 'Ashes to Ashes' nod). 'Against the 70s' is introduced as a Mike Watt song (not played at a PJ concert before or since), with Dave Grohl joining PJ on drums and staying for a rocked out version of 'Sonic Reducer.' Great setlist and wonderful versions of songs.
I would've gone to one of the 1995 gigs in Sydney except I wasn't a fan then.

Pretty shit....but not too shit....I was told it was really bad so wasn't expecting much so was pleasantly surprised.
I can't remember Footsteps being on setlist though....I'd love love love to hear Footsteps now.
