    Does it have a lot of photos?  Trying to decide between Kindle and Hardcover.  Thanks!

    Not many no
    Hi, I host a Pearl Jam Podcast. We go back to some of the classic shows in their history and break down the entire setlist front to back. From historic perspective, to performances, to setlist construction, to fan stories. We do our best to capture the magic that is their live act and help you relive those memories, or if you weren't there, maybe turn you on to a show you've never heard before.

    Live On 4 Legs can be found on Apple Podcast, Spotify and any other major podcast platform. But please support our website and check out the episodes archived there. Oh, and the Concertpedia as well (for you Five Horizons and Two Feet Thick fans, we've picked up where they've left off)

    Am I the only one who thinks this kind of sucks? I’m about a third through it and all I get out of it so far is a lot of pointing out Ed’s bad behavior and bitching about certain songs.  Im fairness I pretty much think anyone who says “I hope I never hear...insert song name” is a pretentious dbag so reading that about Alive early in the book started me off on the wrong foot. I mean if I wanted to read comments putting down Ed’s behavior and Ten I’d pull up comments from Billy Corgan

    I’m on page 90 and am trying (struggling) to push through

    I feel like - so far anyway - it’s a collection of little hot takes off stuff that’s already been reported or could be found quickly with simple Google searches. 

    I want something new, and I don’t think I’ll find it in here. 

    But that’s me.

    Damn. I picked it up a couple of days ago but still have a couple of books ahead of it to read. My local book store had one copy and that they had it, I decided to just buy it without waiting for more reviews. Still excited to start it and then we'll see..

    Same...I had these feelings very early but thought I was alone.  It's just not a good book.

    Not sure if the "author" is actually a fan. Goes off track way to much, bags out more songs than he likes & says GTF is not a good song & then compares it to Celine Dion. Put it down after that & going in the bin & the worst $33 I have spent in my life.
