First off, a HUGE thank you to Pearl Jam for delivering the remarkable masterpiece Dark Matter to us fans.  A timeless classic.  Thank You!!

The Unplugged album is great, as well as the Benaroya Hall performance.  Acoustic Pearl Jam always sounds amazing!
Many fans would love another special acoustic show like that, with additional songs from the rest of the catalog.
Songs such as Tremor Christ, Corduroy, Save You, Rearviewmirror, In Hiding, Brain of J, Do The Evolution, etc...

Also, an acoustic concept album would be cool.  Something with new instruments such as horns, piano, and even bring back the accordion.  Maybe add a little Jazz / Blues inspired tracks.  Recorded in the same manner as Dark Matter, where everyone is in the same room.

    I'm curious to know which songs the community would like to see translated to an acoustic version.  I'll have to take some time to go back through the catalog to get my full list, but I know I would love to see an unplugged version of Corduroy and Tremor Christ.

    They did acoustic versions of Corduroy at the 1994 and 1996 Bridge School Benefits.

    Thank you, it's AMAZING.  Would really love to get a studio version of this song among many others.

    I also took the presets from Mansfield III and the Gorge '05, and put them in a single folder.  There's a few repeats, but it's also a nice acoustic alternative.

    It would be cool if the released santa barbara one day to add that one in too.

    A bridge school collection would also be amazing.

    Latin Jazz percussion would be interesting.
    Maybe the legendary Poncho Sanchez can add some Djembe solos to the new album.

    Fun lyrics to this Pearl Jam song :lol:
    Is that Jeff on the vocals?

    "Jazz jazz jazz!
    Experimental jazz!"

    Rearviewmirror

    This has been one of my favorite songs of all-time, since I first heard it in 93'.  As the years have gone by, I see that this track is a real gem to many fans as well.  Then I was blessed to be able to see this stellar track performed live at the 2024 LA1 show, and WOW this track is still so amazing and really really special.

    If there is another "Unplugged" type performance, or studio recordings of acoustic song versions, I think this track would be a great addition.
    Please consider doing another set of Unplugged tracks.

    While I was searching for an existing acoustic performance of Rearviewmirror (couldn't find one), I stumbled upon this really good cover of the song.
    I couldn't help but notice how young these guys are, and that they likely were really young or weren't even born when the VS album was released.
    Yet notice the passion, energy, and love that these guys demonstrate when covering this song.
    Much love to Pearl Jam and Rearviewmirror!

    An acoustic version of this would be an instant gem.

    my other favourite band, The Headstones, did this. They did reimagined acoustic and jazzy versions of their hits. Absolutely love it. Bassist learned to play stand up just for that record. Never played a show for it though, which was disappointing. One In The Chamber Music it was called. 
    Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer

    Agreed!  That is beautiful, thanks for sharing.  I never knew that gem existed.

    Slow Lukin

    A beautiful song already translated to acoustic, and would love a studio version.
