No Code Tour

Over the next few weeks I'll be uploading the entire 1996 No Code tour in both FLAC and MP3 formats and will be adding them to the 1996 bootleg page. There are many shows on that page already but they will be updated with fresh links and MP3 links will be provided for each show as well. I'll be doing this in chronological order until every show is up.

The first three shows of the tour have already been added. MP3 links for the Toronto show will be available soon. All MP3's have been encoded from the FLAC files at 320kbps. If you plan on using any of the shows in a trade please download the FLAC version and keep the MP3 files for your own personal use. That's the best way to maintain the integrity of the recordings being circulated. Enjoy the tour!

Friday 5/21/2010: One of the best shows ever!!

On Friday 5/21/2010 my brother and I made the journey from the Philadelphia area to NYC to see Pearl Jam at Madison Square Garden. We took the train from Hamilton, NJ to Penn Station and walked the rest of our time in the city.

On our short walk from the train station to the hotel we scoped out a few places we might want to hang before the show. A place called O'Reilly's on 31st street looked like a cool spot and we would keep that one in mind.

We checked into the hotel and chilled out for a bit there before heading out for some food and refreshments for the pre-show. I never really knew it before but found out that my brother LOVES hotels! Probably would have stayed there all night! It was close to 5:00 PM I think when we decided to venture out into the enormous city and locate some suds and fine bar cuisine.

we strolled back the way we had come and thought we'd cruise by that O'Reilly's joint we saw earlier to see what it might offer. Well when we got to the front of the place we knew we would probably be staying here for a while...
Not only did they have the best sign on the streets of New York but when we walked in the place they had Touring Band 200 playing on the TV's in the bar area. Nice! We stayed. We had a few beers and some great grub and got ready for the show.

I guess it was about 7:30 when we decided to head to the Garden and get to our seats. The building was absolutely electric! You could just tell people were excited to be there. In New York. At a Pearl Jam show. It was great feeling!

My brother and I were both really hoping to see them open with "Release". I had never seen them open with that song and for him it had been since '98 I believe when he saw them in DC for one the Voters For Choice shows.

Well, it was not to be. They came out swinging with "Corduroy" on this night but looking back on it I certainly did not feel disappointment. After all, the opening line to the song was just so fitting... "The waiting drove me mad... Your finally here and I'm a mess..." because I was so excited for this show it was hard for me to focus on anything for the entire week leading up to it. From that opening song on through the entire night we simply witnessed magic all around us. The band was really into it and was feeding off a crowd that grew louder and louder as the night progressed. The band delivered a really diverse set of songs from hits like "Black", "Alive", and "The Fixer" to the tracks that most casual fans would recognize as Pearl Jam including "Sweet Lew",  "Black, Red, Yellow" and "Push Me, Pull Me".

A couple of the finest moments ever at a Pearl Jam concert came in the later parts of the show and these are the moments that I will remember forever.
"Hunger Strike" with Ben from Band of Horses:


And "Lukin II"... a slowed down version of the normally punk infused classic! This was really awesome.


My brother and I had a great, great time at the show and enjoyed our time together in a great city! He even made us shirts for the occasion. I left mine in the car at the train station and he left his in his bag that he left on the train on the way home :) Hopefully he got it back. I haven't heard yet :)



Regardless of few minor mishaps... nothing could ruin a night like that. Pure Pearl Jam magic. Can't wait to hear the official bootleg!

Josie Soccer Update

Each week seems to get better and better for soccer this year. Josie started off slow the first week or so but she's starting to get into now. Even though most of the time one really wouldn't call what she's doing soccer. One things for sure. She's having fun and we are getting some laughs out of it :)

Here she is during Sunday's game. A little behind the play but better late than never :)



Another one from Sunday's game. No real soccer in this one either but quite a little dance :)



Good times and just great to be outside on a beautiful Sunday!

Cara took the kids to the Please Touch Museum on Monday. Hope to have some pics from that up soon. Josie and Lily both had a great time from what I've heard :)

One More Added For '91

Another update has been added to the 1991 bootleg section. The Seattle, WA show from 8/23 is now available in SHN format. Enjoy!

08/23/91 – Mural Amphitheater: Seattle, WA [50m]
attendance: 4,000
set: Once, State of Love and Trust, Even Flow, (Outshined)/Garden, Alive, Black, Deep, Why Go, Porch, Breath
notes: This free, outdoor show was also Dave Abbruzzese’s first concert drumming with PJ and the last show of the summer ‘91 Sounds of Seattle concert series (later called “Pain in the Grass”). As an intro to ‘Porch,’ Ed says, “This song is about if you love someone, tell him.” Ed climbs the speaker stacks during ‘Porch’ and glances over his shoulder at the Space Needle. Ed takes Jeff’s basketball from behind the speakers and throws it playfully into the crowd. The ball makes its way back to the stage during ‘Breath.’ The seldom played ‘Breath’ is wonderful.

Marquee Ball Room New York '91 Added

The 1991 bootleg section has been updated with the 7/13 show at the Marquee Ball in NYC! Enjoy the show!

07/13/91 – The Marquee Room: New York, NY [45m]
supporting: Rev. Horton Heat, Afghan Whigs, Gorilla, Beasts of Bourbon, Codeine
set: Wash, Once, Even Flow, State of Love and Trust, Alive, Garden, Deep, Why Go, Porch
notes: This is a musically powerful show with Mike showcasing his guitar prowess. Ed seems in a cocky mood, making pointed wisecracks between nearly every song. (”Let me show you guys the industry handshake. ‘Oh, hi. Nice to meet you. Oh, ah, yes it was a pleasure. Sorry … I see Slash.’”) He jokes about ‘Even Flow,’ saying, “How many times we played this, once or twice? Wait, there’s industry people here. We don’t wanna fuck up.” After ‘Alive,’ he quips, “OK, let’s start getting into it. All the industry guys left. This, being PJ’s first NYC show, Ed proclaims, “Hey, mama. I played New York City.”

**AVAILABLE IN SHN FORMAT ONLY AT THIS TIME**

Cool night at Merry Mead!

Ice cream on a cool breazy May evening with my two little sweeties!
Gave mommy a little "downtime" from the kids and the girls got some
fresh air and ice cream. Well Lil' just had a little taste and then
didn't want anymore but she's eyeing up Josie's in one of these shots :)
