Getting excited thinking about what PJ's set could look like. An Oceans opener at Ohana is overdue imo.

Yes please. It's been many years since I heard Oceans at a show.

I would LOVE to hear Oceans. Perfect venue for it

In 2024 PJ played Friday and Sunday so their merch was available the whole time. Not sure how they will do it for just a Sunday show.

Was Sunday event-specific merch available on the Friday?

No. If memory serves, some of it was available on Saturday but sold very quickly.

My wishlist* changes or just grows longer every day.

Today's EV wishes are:

No More - I really hope we're not actively in a war in September, but it feels really relevant now.

Here's to the State - it's disappointing that the names have changed, but the problems are still the same 😔. I'm sure EV could change out the names pretty easily, and it would still make perfect sense. Still dropping bombs on children ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹.

Guaranteed - absolutely love this one

Try - I'm in love with the harmonica. Hopefully Stevie is one of the Friends!

*Standard disclaimer: I will be rocking out and having fun for literally anything EV or PJ plays.

Amen to that. Actually posted this a couple of years ago, thought things couldn't possibly get any worse. newsflash, things can always get worse.

The more things change, the more they stay the same

Here's to Supreme Court Justice, Brett Kavanaugh
Who wears the robe of honor in a phony legal form
And justice is lost when the partisans report
When the senate confirmed this rapist, it continued this war

Here's to the land you tore out the heart of
Brett Kavanaugh find yourself another country to be part of

Here's to the government of Mitch McConnell
With Felons posing as advisors to the crown
And they hope that no one sees the sites or that no one hears the sounds
Cause the speeches of the president are the ravings of a clown

Here's to the land you tore out the heart of
Mitch McConnell find yourself another country to be part of

Here's to the followers of Jerry Falwell, Jr
Oh the cross once made of silver now is turned to rust
And the sunday morning services still preach fear of men in love
And God only knows in heaven they must trust

Here's to the land you tore out the heart of
Jerry Falwell, Jr find yourself another country to be part of

Here's to the corruption of Bill Barr
Congress will ignore the lies you say
And now the Constitution's drowning in your ocean of decay
And freedom of speech is dangerous i've even heard them say

Here's to the land you tore out the heart of
Bill Barr find yourself another country to be part of

And here’s to the presidency of Donald J.Trump

Who’ll want to change the focus from his failures to that of fear

And who’s lies and racism desecrate the white house lawn

To keep hold on power, he uses terror as a con

When the tear gas falls on the protesters, you don’t, don't care which side they’re on

Donald Trump, Here's to the land you tore out the heart of

Donald Trump find yourself another fucking planet to be part of

Yes! That’s the only other band (other than PJ & EV) I’m interested in buying their merch.

Stone confirmed that the band has a new drummer during an interview on PJ Radio today, but did not reveal their identity. This confirms what we suspected.

Per a post by SPIN magazine:

Pearl Jam has indeed chosen its new drummer, but the band is not making any grand reveals ahead of what will be its first show with Matt Cameron’s replacement on Sept. 27 at Eddie Vedder’s Ohana festival in Dana Point, CA. Former Soundgarden member Cameron exited Pearl Jam amicably in July 2025 after a 27-year-run.

“I love the mystery of it all. It’s so exciting,” guitarist Stone Gossard said of Pearl Jam’s next iteration in a new interview today on SiriusXM’s Pearl Jam Radio. “There’s not enough mystery in the world. I think the band is very excited that we’re actually getting to play. It’s been a while and the fact that we get to do it at Ohana makes it even doubly exciting. And the fact that nobody knows who’s going to play drums with us even makes it triply exciting. So, it’s our mystery wrapped in an enigma and we’re relishing in it right now.”

The 10th anniversary Ohana lineup at Doheny State Beach will also feature headlining sets from Vedder and unnamed friends on Sept. 25 and Tyler Childers the following night. The undercard boasts Mexican rock legends Maná, Billy Idol, Bad Religion, Courtney Barnett, Bob Mould’s reunited Sugar, Alabama Shakes, Jon Batiste, Men I Trust, Fontaines D.C., Pixies, Rilo Kiley, the Format and Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament’s side band P.E.S.T.

“Matt Cameron has always come at things with an openness to all the people in the room and with grace and love for this process,” Gossard said when asked about Cameron’s contributions to Pearl Jam, which began as far back as 1990 when he drummed on some of Gossard’s earliest band demos. “His playing speaks for itself. Matt’s always going to be our brother.”

“He was ready for a shift and ready for a change,” he continued. “God bless him, and we love Matt always. But I think it’s also going to be good for us to in a sense of letting that unknown enter into the equation again [and] giving us a chance to to regroup and try to still be good. That’s a cool challenge. Where do you go after Matt Cameron? It’s a big question, and he always served the music [in an] outstanding [way]. He always played with power and with energy, and it’ll be a tough task to figure that out. But I’m confident that we’re going to be able to do it.”

Asked what he’s been doing to stay sharp during Pearl Jam’s year-long break from the stage, Gossard reported, “I’ve actually been playing more guitar than I have in a long time, which is great. It’s part of my daily routine [to] pick it up, mess around [and] play along with some stuff just to keep my fingers nimble. But [I’m] also spending a lot of time in the studio making demos, trying different things [and] dreaming about what Ed might like and where could we go that would be fun? I think everyone in the band has done the same thing. So, everyone’s itching to play.”

One drummer who apparently won’t be joining the band is Dave Krusen, the first person to serve behind the kit for Pearl Jam from 1990-1991. Krusen, who also played on the band’s landmark 1991 debut album Ten, was inducted with Pearl Jam into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2017 and performed with his former colleagues at the New York induction ceremony for the first time in 26 years. Replying to a fan’s Instagram question earlier this week about if he was “coming back,” he replied, “no, they have a new drummer already.”

Heading out to LA from the other LA, lower Alabama, to keep a streak alive for me and my 17 year old. This will be our 5th year in a row to see the boys and he is a senior this year so trying to create some more memories. We did Nash 22, DFW2 23, Bmore 24 and Jazzfest 25. I will never turn down Release-also would love In Hiding, such a great festival song along and I truly believe it should be played way more. My darkhorse song is Gone. Oh by the way this will be my 20th show and my great friend from the PJ boards Jeff will be joining us on this trip. Doing Fri and Sun but only have Fri tix at this point. Can’t wait to see you all in a few months.

PS My son wants to hear Corduroy, thought he would say Ghost so I told him his chances just greatly improved-ha!
