Just got this tat today dedicated to my mom and dad. Every time I time I hear this song I think of the hardships our family faced the past few years, especially my dad. He battled cancer for 8 years passing away in July. Given to Fly reminds of resilience and that things can always turn around.

Let’s see your pearl jam tats!

One can dream!

“We’re working with a new drummer right now, and we’re trying to get him into our band. His name is Abe Laboriel. He plays with Paul McCartney, and we’re trying to split his time between us and Paul. So hopefully we’ll get to play some shows next year, but right now there’s nothing on the books,” Mike said.

While discussing his upcoming projects, McCready also addressed the question of who’s going to be behind the kit following Matt Cameron’s departure, bringing up Abe Laboriel Jr., who had already joined Pearl Jam onstage at the Ohana Festival.

I’ve scrolled through the YouTube responses and the only post that I could find related to this show referenced Vegas in 1993. Is that correct? Thanks for insight.

Just want to know what to go hunting for on internet archive.

Do you like them or do you find them annoying?

The fact that Lightning Bolt is considered a “newer” Pearl Jam album and is already 13 years old is insane. I believe it’s a very solid “new” PJ album, but I would still put it among their weakest efforts. Many of these songs are good to great, but very few did anything to really blow me away. There are certainly some interesting sounding songs on here such as Infallible and Pendulum. Sirens and especially Future Days are beautiful ballads, and I also really enjoy Mind Your Manners and Swallowed Whole a ton. And even for the title track’s lyrical simplicity, I really love how it sorta leans into that to convey the sudden swell of emotions when falling in love.
All things considered, it’s a solid 6-7/10 album for me. Would love to hear other people’s opinions on this one

What do you think?

I just came across a really interesting article about Eddie and the band. Definitely a worthwhile read if you are a fan. https://jacobpatrickartistreview.substack.com/p/pearl-jam-the-band-that-became-hugeand

I run an indie music mag and am making a spread on things people have caught at gigs (usually picks and drumsticks etc - the weirder the better i guess haha) but watched a bootleg recording and a guy caught a tape at the end!! if anyone has one of these or caught anything from a PJ show i'd love it if you could drop me a message on here or on my mag's insta subterraneanclub :) thank you!!
