It must be a mistake.

Porch is the greatest song ever written about a Porch.

Much like Korn in the horrible nu metal era?

The horrible Nu metal era that bought us, System of A Down, Deftones, Snot, Incubus, Fear Factory, SoulFly, and Korn themselves.  Sure you have Limp Bizkit, Evanescense (for some reason) and Linkin fecking Park... but that is like dismissing all indie music because Cast and The Seahorses exist.

Nu Metal is the new Disco*, people will one day realise it was great in essence when they have finished ridiculing it and a lot of shit got dumped in with it that really was bad.

Anyway Pearl Jam, Top 5 live acts I've ever seen, right across their career from 93 to present, they have bought it every time I've seen them.  Reading Headline in 2006 was as phenomenal as the early days.
 

* time may prove me wrong on this... but dammit do I love me some nu metal  ... and Big Beat...

Sounds good to me! Saw them at the Isle of Wight festival a few years ago and they were Amazing!

I was there  - they were a revelation. Lots of light and shade which I always like in a band.

Totally agree with this. I was ridiculed for suggesting Pearl Jam was it last year, year before? But I think they'd put on a brilliant show and bring something a bit, I dunno, a bit different to the top slot at Glasto and surprise a lot of people who perhaps aren't fans. As you say, Reading 06 was simply magnificent. 

Oh, on nu metal, what about Coal Chamber? First album had a few good uns - and Spineshank, second album is immense...  

As for Pearl Jam lists... Crikey.

Rearviewmirror
Indifference
State of Love and Trust
Animal
Why Go?

Just too many to rank...

[CaledonianGonzo]

This continued snubbing of Porch will not stand.

[Harmonic Prospector]

Yellow Ledbetter 

Rearviewmirror 

PORCH

Even Flow

Just Breathe 

[CaledonianGonzo]

That's the Porchly spirit.

Porch!

[ericlered]

Black

Rearview Mirror

Indifference

Porch live is utterly amazing by the way.

[Ovechkin]

Yellow Ledbetter

Alive

Sad

Do the evolution

Release

Alive is such a stadium killer.. Eddie would totally embrace the glasto spirit, don't think it would be a problem to get them whenever (as in a one-off show in Europe) if they just approached them. But that won't happen

[Woffy]

Grandaddy's Rear View Mirror is far superior.

[Ovechkin]

talking about rearviewmirror, i remember how epic the reading version is, epecially this moment:

 

 

[mungo57]

my favourite moment of the Reading gig was before the set even started - Eddie's speech about looking after each other in the crowd then BAM straight into Corduroy.

Great gig that was, still rank that in my top 5/6 gigs ever

After Roskilde it's quite understandable, but I've never known a band be as vocal about crowd safety.

recently they've been opening gigs with much slower songs so as not to over-excite the crowds, I think 4 ballads in a row at MK in '14. Followed by a pretty relentless run of rockers

[Ovechkin]

iirc that was the first festival they played in 6 years (as in first concert after Roskilde)

[shorttooth]

Do we have any concrete information that Pearl Jam are in fact touring outside of North America around June?

My favourite bit was when Eddie said

"this song,.. this uh, predates the band actually" before they launched into Crown Of Thorns and then I cried, manly tears.

"This song,.. this uh....is about a Porch"
