Re: PEARL JAM Planning To Launch Its Own Music Festival - Dec. 10, 2010
According to The Pulse Of Radio, PEARL JAM is planning to launch and headline its own music festival next summer, according to Spinner.com. The festival was confirmed by PEARL JAM manager Kelly Curtis, who said that the band is looking to hold the event "somewhere in the middle of the country." He added that the festival would not take place in the group's hometown of Seattle and that the members of PEARL JAM would be involved in selecting the acts.
More information, including the exact dates, location and lineup, is expected to be announced early in 2011.
PEARL JAM will release a new concert album called "Live On Two Legs" on January 18, 2011 to commemorate the band's 20th anniversary.
The set will be available on CD, digital and vinyl formats through the group's own Ten Club imprint. The 18-track collection was recorded on various world tours between 2003 and 2010.
PEARL JAM is currently on a break after completing its most recent trek, in support of its ninth studio album, 2009's "Backspacer".
Frontman Eddie Vedder will head down to Australia and New Zealand for a solo tour in March.

What is the difference between Axl, Pearly J, and The Who at this point? ...not to mention Poison......nostalgia. Snoooooooozze
Well, at least Axl and Pearl Jam have put out new music recently that I enjoy. So that works for me. Obviously people are only going to see the classics played, but at least there's somewhat of an effort there, especially with Pearl Jam. They've played the heck out of "Backspacer" on their recent tour.

Pearl Jam's latest album kicked ass. That's the difference.
Agreed. I am LOVING Pearl Jam radio on Sirius/XM too. They play tons of live stuff, full concerts, they have call in shows for PJ fans. One day I was listening and Eddie was in studio fielding calls. I mean, how cool is that?
My favorite of many off of "Backspacer"

I'd take Chinese over any of their last 6 albums...just my preference. The last two records I enjoyed from them were No Code and Yield.
They are still a kick ass live band though.

Have you listened to "Backspacer" though? The reason I ask is because I'm right there with you about their releases after "Yield". But "Backspacer" was on par to their earlier releases to me.
Yup and maybe even better in my opinion. It's an amazing album.
