    As I type I am watching the MTV unplugged dvd - (far out, Ed's hot in that one!!! - sorry, sidebar!).....uummm...have had my ipod playing nothing but PJ for the last 3 weeks, been putting a different lyric on FB every day to warm all the non fans up to my obsession.....all 6 discs in my car cd stacker are PJ. which I am rotating, but Backspacer is the one constant.......along with Ten redux.......I love the version of state of love and trust on that one...it's so raw! plus talking to EVERY SINGLE PERSON I know about the concert and how I AM SO EXCITED.....and and virtually living on the boards here!!!

    :D:D

    Hell ye!!!! I've been warming up since i bought my tix back in august!! i'm listening to pj whenever i've got time and even when i don't have time! and talking about them and the show with anyone who'd listen! the only trouble is i'm sick these days, i've got this extremely annoying cold/cough...hope i'm better by saturday (yes, the Perth show) even though, like i told my mum, i'll go with a drip in my arm if i have to!!!!
    By the way, i think Ed is hot in the Unplugged too...gosh, i remember taping that show off MTV back then when i was still home...i'm getting old!!! :problem:

    Shuffling, going through the releases chronologically, then alphabetically (not a nerd, iPod doing it!). Allowing myself to get way too hyper and boring my friends with the count down. Serenading my other half ( a Billy Joel fan :o ) with "Save you".
    If I knew then, would I know now?

    am i the only one that tapers? (like swimmers going into the olympics?!). im tapering at the moment... not listening to anything even slightly related to pearl jam. that way i can 'forget' how fucking incredible they are, only to rediscover when i start listening again on friday and then get totally blown away by them all over again. its going to be great!

    i haven't listened to any pearl jam since probably a few days after backspacer came out. before that it was probably the ten re-release, but all i did was watch unplugged, before that it was probably Immagine In Cornice, before that some 06 aussie tour bootlegs, i only really listened to the brissie ones and newy. then it would have been Avo.


    i don't really listen to a lot of pearl jam. not as much as i used to. does that make me any less of a fan, i don't think so.
    condescending and sarcastic since 1980

    Since backspacer came out i just keep playing that over and over again until about a week ago. Since then i've listen to all their albums and all the bootlegs that i have. It's been great playing their past albums because it reminds me how much i love this band and how fucking brilliant they are!! :D:D:D:D

    Listening to a different bootleg every night, listening to multiple albums every day, just watched touring band tonight - downloading the tour podcasts from I-tunes, and spending all my money on the 2009 boots!!! So STOKED for SYDNEY!!!!!!!!!
  • Lukin73Lukin73 Posts: 13
    you know, apart from the FB countdown, i'm trying to listen to something that it's not Backspacer (like i did last time they were here and i went through everything PJ i own), but as soon as i get a cd out my two year old goes "Jam?", and by that he means Backspacer!!! so i haven't got a choice! not that i mind...you should see his face when The Fixer starts! he even says "hey hey hey" with ed!

    Can I ask what "Benny" is? I'm sure it's something obvious but it's too late in the night to work it out.

    I have had to give Backspacer a break. Was playign it way too much. I have warmed up with a couple of ten club t shirt purchases and been listening to the earlier albums quite often.

    I'm guessing it's Live at Benaroya Hall. I played that album to death in 2004.. used to listen to it at work every day. :)
