    yea, it blows being this far away from the city. we rarely go because its about an hour depending on traffic. and then we usually have to spend the night because a cab is out of the question. i will have to check those places out. what is the name of your cover band? i saw a decent band before at the kings head. did a lot of pink floyd, some keane, u2, kaiser chiefs etc.. cant remember their name though. do any cover bands ever venture out my way?

    Very rare you see cover bands in Glenamaddy or Moylough, Mountbellew might get a few (although probably as often as a lunar cycle). I think you are talking about Pyramid, a great band that don't really play pubs much anymore (Their lead singer play's Vinnie, the postman in TG4's Ros na Run!).
    Im in an acoustic covers group called Jaded Strings (stupid name, i know) we play Richardsons, Bar 8, Blakes Corner, Foxes, etc. We do Elderly Woman and occasionally Alive and Corduroy.

    I've seen them 7 times in Europe in my 21 years on this planet and that was the best gig i've seen them do.
    Although o2 London 2009 and Astoria London 2005 had unreal setlists. Point Dublin 2006 was wow. (You can hear me going "Its a great place to play in Dublin" just b4 Eddie does on the boot! :D) Chick singing out of key at the start of betterman does me up the wall though!

    I will admit being teary when they did Black at that gig (which my ex, to this day won't let me live down).

    Rats @ O2 Arena, London 09
    Given to Fly @ MEN Arena, Manchester 09
    I Got ID/Sh1t @ Wembley Arena, London 07
    Black @ The Point Depot, Dublin 06
    Alive @ Astoria, London 06
    Garden @ The Point, Dublin 00
    Yellow Ledbetter @ Wembly Arena, London 00 (Night 1)

    moments of my Pearl Jam gig-age that i have been teary with joy and excitement although w/ Yellow Ledbetter back in 2000, it was cause i was upset the show was over! :o

    As much as i love the angst of Riot Act and the anger of Pearl Jam, and I'm slowly liking Backspacer, Binaural will always be my desert island album of theirs from this decade, and i love the production on it! Pure Class!!

    Just saying thats all.

    Most of their new albums seem to be radio friendly pop - liked Verses, Vitalogy though.

    really? i HATE the production on Binaural. its part of the reason i dont listen to it that much. eddie's voice sounds really bad in a few songs (especially "sleight of hand"). maybe its just me, but his voice sounds like it has effects put to it on a few good songs. i love anything off binaural live though....

    well it's different strokes for different folks right? For me it just tapped into where i was at the time (kind of a cliche but there you go)

    Same with me. I've recently started listening to Binaural again, and the love for it is returning. Hearing Nothing As It Seems in Berlin just brought it all back to me. It's a great winter album too!

    def...vitalogy and binaural are AWESOME winter albums. yield is a winter and anytime along with no code. ten and pearl jam are spring/summer. riot act and vs. are fall. for me anyway. im thinking backspacer will be fall/winter for me...but we will see how it pans out

    Yeah, an Irish chapter of fans, not a chapter of Irish fans. I'm an equal opportunity fan.

    Just thought i'd add my two cents, Massive PJ Fan here, think this is a great thread. Really enjoyed reading through the messages. Its rare enough that you'd get to hear peoples opinions on the band. Im lucky as two of my close mates are big fans too. All because we found (stole off one of the lads older brothers) a cassette of Vs. as kids and listened to it one night gettin ready to go out. Legends!
    My mother really loves Last Kiss!!!
