Confirmed by Mike in this interview. Brendan O' Brien plays keys, which I think is a good thing. Also confirmed is that French Horns appear on Just Breathe:

yeah that's also said in the interview; that Boom will tour. But at least they're slowly phasing him out.....2000: Camden 1, 2003: Philly, State College, Camden 1, MSG 2, Hershey, 2004: Reading, 2005: Philly, 2006: Camden 1, 2, East Rutherford 1, 2007: Lollapalooza, 2008: Camden 1, Washington D.C., MSG 1, 2, 2009: Philly 1, 2, 3, 4, 2010: Bristol, MSG 2, 2011: PJ20 1, 2, 2012: Made In America, 2013: Brooklyn 2, Philly 2, 2014: Denver, 2015: Global Citizen Festival, 2016: Philly 2, Fenway 1, 2018: Fenway 1, 2, 2021: Sea.

Boom was in the MySpace Backspacer video...I'm pretty sure he'll be on the tour. And there's nothing wrong with that!Chicago 2000 : Chicago 2003 : Chicago 2006 : Summerfest 2006 : Lollapalooza 2007 : Chicago 2009 : Noblesville (Indy) 2010 : PJ20 (East Troy) 2011 : Wrigley Field 2013 : Milwaukee (Yield) 2014 : Wrigley Field 20160

'00 12 shows / '03 4 shows / '06 6 shows

Well I don't hate just to hate ya digg? I dunno, I don't think he plays well enough to justify him playing with Pearl Jam. I mean, I guess he has character so that's cool. And you can yell BOOOOOOOOOM for his introduction (and it's not like I haven't done it). But he's just flat-out not good enough musician to be playing with Pearl Jam...there I said it. He couldn't outplay an elementary school music teacher.
And what's with the unnecessary organ fills? And it's not like it's Boom's decision to make do this....I guess it falls on Eddie...but organ fills during the Alive solo? Gimme a break. That sounds so crappy when they do that. A little piano on Black is one thing, but Alive is a guitar song. Jimmy Page wouldn't put organ fills during the Black Dog solo would he? And Rockin' in the Free World and Crazy Mary don't need B3 solos. For the songs conceived with Boom (Love Boat Captain, Marker in the Sand, etc), fine, have him out there. Otherwise, get that aging hippie weirdo off the stage and let Mike solo!!Post edited by Ledbetterman10 on2000: Camden 1, 2003: Philly, State College, Camden 1, MSG 2, Hershey, 2004: Reading, 2005: Philly, 2006: Camden 1, 2, East Rutherford 1, 2007: Lollapalooza, 2008: Camden 1, Washington D.C., MSG 1, 2, 2009: Philly 1, 2, 3, 4, 2010: Bristol, MSG 2, 2011: PJ20 1, 2, 2012: Made In America, 2013: Brooklyn 2, Philly 2, 2014: Denver, 2015: Global Citizen Festival, 2016: Philly 2, Fenway 1, 2018: Fenway 1, 2, 2021: Sea.

I just wanted to get it off my chest one time....
And here's another Boom theory I have: I think Stone HATES him. Really, put yourself in the room....beginning of the Riot Act sessions:
Stone: Hey Ed, how was your vacation?
Ed: Oh great man....great.
Stone: Cool, yeah so I got some riffs, been going over a few things with Mike.......um.......yeah.....who's that crazy looking guy in the corner?
Ed: That corner? Oh that's Boom
Stone: Boom?
Ed: Yeah Boom. I met him while I was surfing. He grows his own weed. He's cool man...he's going to play keys on the album.
Stone: What?
Ed: Yeah. Look I gotta go take a leak but I'll see ya in there. Go introduce yourself to Boom.....he's cool man.
Stone: What? (Eddie exits, Stone walks up to Boom)
Stone: Hey man, I'm Stone....I play guitar....and founded the band and.....
Boom: ALOHA MAN!!! Where's the wine? Eddie said you guys always have lots of wine!
Stone: Oh brother....2000: Camden 1, 2003: Philly, State College, Camden 1, MSG 2, Hershey, 2004: Reading, 2005: Philly, 2006: Camden 1, 2, East Rutherford 1, 2007: Lollapalooza, 2008: Camden 1, Washington D.C., MSG 1, 2, 2009: Philly 1, 2, 3, 4, 2010: Bristol, MSG 2, 2011: PJ20 1, 2, 2012: Made In America, 2013: Brooklyn 2, Philly 2, 2014: Denver, 2015: Global Citizen Festival, 2016: Philly 2, Fenway 1, 2018: Fenway 1, 2, 2021: Sea.

Best news I've heard all day. The moment I heard his keys in Save You I hated him.
Oh and Ledbetterman, that was great!
