I fail to see the attraction of Vedder without Pearl Jam.

I fail to see the attraction of Vedder without Pearl Jam.

Or outside of a Seattle coffee shop?  Haven't you seen Rock Star with Marky Mark?

[Teatownclown]

Dunno....any show at The Brady is worth the look see....

I've known a few performers to go off on their own over the years with a new band, sometimes Tulsa Sound musicians, and they have put together great back up bands....hell, Daltrey's back up band was better than he was...and same for Plant.

[Hoss]

I fail to see the attraction of Vedder without Pearl Jam.

Yep.

Kinda smacks of Queensryche without DeGarmo, or Waters without Pink Floyd.

I fail to see the attraction of Vedder without Pearl Jam.

i really enjoyed the 'into the wild' soundtrack.  the ukulele stuff isn't my favorite, but i think eddie will still put on a great show.  i believe this is the first time he has played in oklahoma since pearl jam played okc in 2003.  i don't think he has ever played tulsa.  stone gossard played at the cain's with his band brad when they opened for band of horses in 2010.  he may be the only member of pearl jam to have played in tulsa.  i could be wrong about that, though.

[Conan71]

Well, and TTC makes a good point that there are some really solid acts at the Brady.  I'm probably being a bit harsh on him mainly due to all the Vedder wannabes like Scott Stapp who came after the success of Pearl Jam.  Too much brooding, I suspect

Interesting mix of homage paid on his covers.

[Teatownclown]

Cool....song list is great! Thanks....

[rdj]

WHAT?!?!  No Jeremy?!?!?!

[Conan71]

WHAT?!?!  No Jeremy?!?!?!

He bit the recess lady's breast and got expelled, I think.

[Townsend]

WHAT?!?!  No Jeremy?!?!?!

Probably has something to do with it being the only song in the Vedder repertoire that almost everyone can sing along to word for word.

[Hoss]

He bit the recess lady's breast and got expelled, I think.

What got him expelled was that surprise left...

[Conan71]

What got him expelled was that surprise left...

Yeah, that one left my jaw wide open.
