    ...unemployable? really. I'd figure that they'd be more... spread out in albums. No "no code"? No "Yield"? No "Vs"? But five songs off the newest record...

    I'm very very surprised. I love the new album... but... I'd rather hear the story about Present Tense than Betterman.

    Not complaining or anything. Just very curious about their selections.

    I wonder if this is their way of doing it, but doing it on their terms, rather than what others (or Vh1!) thought they should do - their new music is probably what they're most excited about right now....

    I just hope I'll get to see the whole thing somehow, and not edited bits only on vh1.

    I'm kind of thinking the same thing. If they played too many hits ... thrown Jeremy and Black and Small Town in there, VH1 could have aired an all hits show, left out the new material. I'm thinking by not giving them enough hits to air a hits-only show, it forces vh1 to air more of the songs PJ wants them to air.

    just a thought. who knows really?

    Still, they could have played more non-hits from other albums.

    what in God's name are you talking about here?

    ps ... by PJ standards, half the songs you mentioned are sub-par. Tremor Christ? Rival? NAIS? ... I mean, it's all relative. they are good songs. but in the bottom portion of the PJ catalogue for me.

    Sleight o' Hand or no... Still better than the Counting Crows Storyteller hour.

    Look, I think Slieght is a good song, but it very downbeat, and not one of PJ's greatest. And not being one of PJs best songs makes about... um... 99% better than most everything else.

    (Cough) Trying to hide my double post (cough).

    I saw the Crows open for the Who. Their performance was not of high quality.

    Don't know if it's been mentioned, but Here's to the State of Mississippi was played a good bit by Tim Robbins band on the Vote for Change Tour in 2004.

    Interesting that PJ would choose to play that one instead of an original song (even if it was re-written to reflect current government).

    I have to defend Sleight of Hand here. It's a beautiful song that perfectly reflects why Pearl Jam is my favorite band. As for it being downbeat (which is certainly subjective), I can't imagine really feeling good about Jeremy or Last Kiss or Black or I Got Shit or Nothingman or a great number of other songs. Music doesn't have to make someone feel good to make them happy.
