    Nothing on Gigaton is as insipid as Something Special, which is around "Butterfly Kisses" on the schmaltz scale. Running is mid, with terrible lyrics, Wreckage is barely warmed over Heartbreakers, and React Respond is paint by numbers PJ.
    Paint by Numbers PJ is why we fell in love with the band.

    Mike’s guitar on the lead-up to the chorus is my favorite part of the album.   That double note run similar to Baba intro.

    I was whatever on Running as a single but it works extremely well if you listen to Won't Tell through Running as one chunk
    But then Something Special works very well after Running, and flows so good with Got To Give and then Setting Sun.

    In fact, Scared of Fear flows extremely well in to Setting Sun as one chunk.

    That bass and guitar intro to Something Special is so good.  Got that 90s groove and it's really cool.  I especially enjoyed watching this song performed live at LA1, and Josh stood out really grooving.  I learned that Josh was a co-writer on this track.

    Josh with the hat, grooving out.  Just too cool for all you people that dislike the groove.

    I liked Gigaton much better than BS and LB but DM exceeds it in my opinion. 

    I have a dividing line after Avocado and DM is the best since.
    I honestly think DM is the most consistent record since No Code

    there i said it :)
    You mean yield.   Fixed.  
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......
  • From a business perspective, it would be really dumb for the band to skip South America when they haven’t been there post-covid. There’s also just so many places they haven’t played. That’s why I was so happy about the 2023 tour. Although short, they scheduled to play places that were over-due and doubled them up. Even Chicago….United Center since 2009.

    Please return to Texas!  The Austin venue was awesome on UT's campus last year.  PJ hasn't been to Houston since the early 90's - Houston is America's 4th largest city with an incredible outdoor venue in the Woodlands where Dave Mathews Band has routinely jammed for decades.

    While they haven't played Houston proper since the early 90's, they've played the Woodlands 3 times in the 2000's. I'll agree not going back since 2003, almost 22 years, is a travesty. 
  • Houston is massive, its wild to me how many acts skip right over it

    Thanks for the correction.  I didn't realize they played the Woodlands - I wasn't a concert goer in the early 2000s.  Come back to Texas in 2025 PJ!

    Don't think there will be a Europe tour in 2025.  Maybe a London show.  Will London work?

    You should def renew your membership for the simple fact that 2024 was an EPIC year with an amazing new album and the band feeling rejuvenated.  Pearl Jam turns 35 next year.  More greatness to come!  Def renew

    the woodlands is horrendous.  fuck that place.

    logistics of getting there are terrible if it is a weeknight.  Houston traffic is a nightmare.

    The sound is some of the worst I have ever experienced at a venue. if you're not in the 101-103 the acoustics are horrendous.

    I haven't been out there for a concert in years... i'm not sure even PJ could get me back.  I'd prefer to fly to another city.  It'll take less time than driving to that shithole and the venue will have better amenities and sound.
    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.

    Awesome!

    Please be Scotiabank arena not Rogers Centre or  even worse, Rogers Stadium.
