Pearl Jam News [MERGED]

[weekapaug19]

i figured as much, considering the schedule of current shows is pretty retarded (starting in camden, they play THU, SUN, TUE, WED, FRI, MON). i was guessing they\'d bookend the MSG shows though, and add 1-2 to Mansfield. i guess i\'m psyched for more shows, but i really really hate what they\'re charging for tickets ($74 each; $84 for MSG). hmmm...

exactly what i was thinking. from the price of tix, i\'m really only planning on hartford then the first boston show if it\'s official. I hate missing another local show (boston 2) but at 75 bucks a pop, i just can\'t afford it

I might have been the first one to pull tickets since I was on fast internet exactly at 10 and best available was lawn??!?!?!?!?!?  WTF!!!!!

[FrankZappa]

you need to wait and keep going back in all morning and you\'ll see the better seats open up. Also, with pearl jam I have been very sucessfull in the past getting to the venue at like 10am and standing in line for extra ticket releases which are usually good front sections. If not, you buy the seats someone else in line has. If they have middle section and score front, you buy their middle since it\'s still better than your lawn. I\'ve probably done this for at least a dozen pj shows.

that\'s a good move, I\'m going with a bunch of people so will probably just hang in the lawn for this show, maybe i\'ll try that for the second boston show if it becomes offical

ticketmaster just got blocked at work, can somebody please check to see if the Sat. June 28th show went on sale today??? I just heard it did and I can\'t get tickets

ok, just almost had a heart attack, I got tix for sat. but once again, they are shitty

Pearl Jam Reteams With Brendan O\'Brien For New Album

Pearl Jam has started recording its ninth studio album with producer Brendan O\'Brien, guitarist Mike McCready told Seattle radio station KISW yesterday (May 1). Though only "four or five" songs are being worked on so far, McCready said the band is hoping to release the record in 2008.

The new effort, a follow-up to its self-titled 2006 album, finds Pearl Jam reteaming with longtime producer Brendan O\'Brien (Bruce Springsteen, Rage Against the Machine) for the first time since 1998\'s "Yield." O\'Brien has also produced Pearl Jam\'s "Vs." (1993), "Vitalogy" (1994) and "No Code."

The two parties first reunited last year to record a cover of the Who\'s "Love Reign O\'er Me" for the soundtrack to the Adam Sandler film "Reign Over Me."

"Brendan works really fast," Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament told Billboard.com in March. "He\'s a super pro. I\'ve always felt, working with him, that he understood me as a bass player and that\'s not always easy. A lot of producers are there to please the singer. But I\'ve always had a great rapport with him. I can tell him I want something to sound like the O\'Jays or Led Zeppelin or PJ Harvey and he gets it."

"We\'ve always been friends," O\'Brien told Billboard.com last fall. "They were great to me when we were making records together [before], and we still remained very good friends ... I still think they\'re a great band. Eddie [Vedder] has one of the best, if not the best, voices out there. When he sings, people believe them."

As previously reported, Pearl Jam is about to embark on a 13-date East Coast tour that runs from June 11-30.

In an effort to support Portland, Ore., U.S. Senate candidate Steve Novick, the band has set aside special tickets to its sold-out shows in New York, Camden, N.J., and Washington, D.C., that include donations to Novick\'s campaign. Novick donation tickets to the Washington, D.C., show include access to a meet-and-greet with guitarist Stone Gossard.

Last month, Gossard was among a group of musicians that also included R.E.M.\'s Michael Stipe, the Decemberists\' Colin Meloy, Sleater-Kinney\'s Corin Tucker and Spoon\'s Britt Daniel who released a letter of support for the candidate.

Pearl Jam\'s eponymous 2006 album peaked at No 2 on The Billboard 200 and lead single "World Wide Suicide" reached No. 1 on the Modern Rock chart.

This sounds like a great show.  That being said, I feel that The Who should go off into the sunset and let us remember the way they were.  I\'m not even going to comment on the last tour, but to bill themselves (Daltry and Townshend) as The Who doesn\'t give Moon and The Ox any credit.  If you want to tour and play Who tunes then tour as Dalty/Townshend or Townshend/Daltry (which is essentially what these tours amount to).
