Whether you're a fan of Pearl Jam's latest, Backspacer, is immaterial; if you're seeing the band, you're likely to get swept into the guaranteed three-hour communal freakout that is a rite of attendance. These are fans that battle the band for decibel supremacy. As Matthew Fluxblog wrote in reviewing PJ's stop at MSG last year, the "unanimity of enthusiasm for Pearl Jam was remarkable, and on par with only a handful of acts that I've seen in much smaller rooms." But this is a tour in support of a new album, and this was its kickoff, so new songs were played (and uproariously approved): "Gonna See My Friend," ""Got Some," "Amongst The Waves," "Unthought Known," "The Fixer," "Johnny Guitar," and "Just Breathe" with a string section featuring Matt Cameron's wife April on viola. Many of those were getting their live debuts -- not "The Fixer," of course, because that was already taped live for a Target commercial. (Vedder told the crowd he went to his local big box behemoth to buy the vinyl that day, before suggesting they carry record players to seal the one-stop-shopping deal.) Also Eddie weighed in on the Kanye nontroversey, telling the band's hometown crowd, "We, too, think Kanye West is a jackass." Vedder concurring with Obama. Imagine. Check these photos by photographer Christopher Nelson, and here's a peek at PJ's 27 song setlist: Continue reading Pearl Jam @ Key Arena, Seattle 9/21/09...

Pearl Jam, who famously went to war against Ticketmaster in the ’90s, have long been conscientious about ticket pricing and availability, though they’ve also been using Live Nation’s Ticketmaster platform due to lack of other feasible options for a long time now.

How many of the great Seattle rock bands of the early ’90s are still around? Not too many. Tragedy has claimed most of them, but we’ve still got Pearl Jam, and we’ve still got Mudhoney. Don’t take either band for granted. While Pearl Jam have matured into an arena-level jam-band institution, Mudhoney conti...
