Sat Eye Candy: Pearl Jam

Girl Jam

Great choice for this week! One of my all times favorites and the shows they did with Neil Young must have been a sight to behold.

As far as live shows go, not many can bring it like Pearl Jam does.

PJ Rocks Live. Although they are not a jamband, they certainly Jam! Eddy is always bring the peace and love out. Happy Birthday Mike! YOu have more talent than most people give you credit for. PJ is one of those bands that a live performance will change the way you feel about this band, In a good way. I have seen them 3 times and its always a different show, different set list, and different jam sessions. They certainly will be around for a long time.

Like to say thanks to all the guys in PJ and also most for Temple of the Dog. Most everything they have done kicks some serious ass.

Shit I did not even realize McCready was in Mad Season. That CD is also the shit. Thanks again man!

Love me some pearl jam. Never have thought they got the credit they deserve simply due to Nirvana. Not trying to bash Nirvana, but Cobain going out when they were on top really left them with the legend status, whereas PJ has consistently made great music for almost 20 years now. Love Vedders acoustic solo stuff and I'm glad theyre leaving hope that mainstream rocknroll isn't completely dead yet.

nice! I was just getting ready to order the Ten reissue!

Man o man, I watched that 1992 Pinkpop Porch which also had a stellar Why Go/Even Flow version linked to it, it was stellar! They had so much fire back in the day. Still great, Pearl Jam puts on a good show almost every night even nowadays. Go see them if you can (and I hear you will be able to this fall!!!) you will be amazed at the twin guitar attack from Mike and Stone. And of course, Eddie is the definitive "alternative" front man of the last 20 years.

thanks jambase. good stuff. mike is indeed the man.

Mike McCready is the man, happy birthday man. any one into mad season? if you dont know who they are or were, you need to get that shit. Girl Jam ha your an idiot dude

didnt see the mad season video, fuck ya, thank you jambase thats insaine. RIP stayley speed ball is one hell of a drug.

Way to go Jambase! Great shit here! Girl Jam? You're a moron Royce.

Oh, and happy birthday Mike.

As good as Mad Season was, they didn't have Mark Lanegan in the group. He did some guest vocals but nothing more. Regardless, great band.

i'm so glad pearl jam is gettin some jambase love! i was really afraid when i saw the article posted everyone was going to be bashing them because they're not a "jamband". but i'm glad to see the mad respect people have been giving them. pearl jam is one of my all time favorite bands. they know how to throw down live and in the studio a combination some bands can't do. a greatly talented bunch of dudes. happy birthday mike!

these are some great videos especially dirty frank, a pj song most people have never heard. as for mad season and temple of the dog, those are two bands that deserve more credit. if you like pearl jam check out mother love bone which has stone gossard and jeff ament from pj

PEARL JAM ROCKS! Seen them live, they put on amazing shows...

Mike McCready is one of the most underrated guitarists

See kiddies this is why music back in the early 90's kicked so much ass compared to this butt munch Mcgees or over-hyped Phish shit you have nowadays. Back then we jammed out to PJ, RATM, Faith no more and countless others who knew how to rock your lil molly filled balls off! Back in the day it was just herb, hot chicks and rock N Roll man...rock N Roll!

Wow...really nice tribute Jambase! Happy Birthday Mike McCready!!

It's amazing how The Who, Neil Young, Jimi Hendrix, and Pearl Jam have similiar flavors, tastes, sounds, and nuances...just like a fine wine that ages over time. Thanks Mike!

PJ rules! saw them in Milwaukee w/ Tom Petty and then at Lolla. killer crowd controll at a Pearl Jam show

McReady, as an individual guitarist is definitely an underated talent in his generation. Pearl Jam keeps getting better with age and their live shows are sick. I hope Mookie Blaylock keeps pumpin' out the songs for years to come.

Love PJ, seen em twice and both times have been unreal. When Eddie introduces Neil in RITFW with "you know this guy", is that a reference to the Last Waltz? Robbie Robertson said the same thing upon Neil's entrance.

PJ is the bomb b.... MaineJam I bet it is a reference, or at least I'd like to think so because that's cool. thanks for pointing that out

Yeah Pearl Jam is one of those forgotten bands for anyone who isn't already into them, they hear yellow ledbetter and think yeah they are just some radio friendly band from the 90's, well all you wanna be hippies need to check their history before you judge because Mike is one of the most unreal guitarists ever, he jams like hendrix so fluent and so inspired...yeah so don't bash a band you know nothing about. Happy birthday Mike, and I can't wait to catch this band on tourrrrrrrrr!!!!

Musical genius!
