nicer than me. I'd send him out with only the clothes on his back. Never thought he added anything, accept terrible organ playing to what should be, after all...a Pearl Jam show.

Never understood the thinking behind "if you don't have a new album, you shouldn't tour." It reduces touring to just marketing for an album, and Pearl Jam shows have become so much more than that over the years.

I can take Boom or leave him, it didn’t matter to me, but the pre conceived notion that an organ has no place in the band’s (key word) live set up is just silly.0 -
Terrifying Ronald McDonald float. Flanked by more auto tuned out talent than you’d ever want in one sitting, let alone a lifetime.www.cluthelee.com0

Can I call yours silly now too?Obviously we have no power over whether or not the band fires Boom, lol. But for me, how long Boom has been around is 100% irrelevant.With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0 -

But for me, how long Boom has been around is 100% irrelevant.I have no thought about the guys being in their 20s jumping around. That has no bearing on my opinion on this at all... I think your head is taking my opinion to places it doesn't belong, haha.

2016 NA and 2018 Europe tour > 2013 NA and 2014 Europe/USA tour. The freedom of no album to play allows the sets to be much better imo. Also in the last 10 years they have only come up with two albums. The first was mediocre and the second was better but still had a lot of misses imo. If Can't Deny Me is any indication we are going in the same direction for the next album. I hope I am wrong.0
