Crap.

Does that necessarily prevent them from doing a separate DC date?

I got Conan box seats at DAR this morning AND found out the Pearl Jam news today. I think my head just exploded. :)

It sucks that PJ is playing Jiffy Lube, but they're worth it. I'll just arrive at 2 pm and drive my wife crazy. When they played there in 2003, I was on time to see the Buzzcocks, but I heard that a lot of people were held up in traffic. Eddie even mentioned that they started with 3 slow songs in a row (Can't Keep, Small Town, Off He Goes) to accommodate those people. I left during Ledbetter (as always) to avoid the post-concert deluge.

I've never heard Band of Horses! (Shame on me.) Anyone want to recommend a few songs I should check out?

I'm only a moderate PJ fan, but the live shows seem to be raved about, and I live in Bristow. If lawn tickets are reasonable, I'll go. Any idea of ticket prices?

Just get both of their albums. There's only two. I like the second better, but they're both good. They're not a "songs" band.

I saw them at Bumbershoot about a year and a half ago, and they played a bunch of new songs they were recording. Sounded very promising. 2010 looks like the year they'll finally be released on am album.

They could have pretty much anyone open for them and that statement would be true.  ;D

Didn't you once say that BOH live put you to sleep?

Yes, the BOH 930 show was a true bummer, but they were magnificent at Lolla last year.... !

This is true, and I'd go so far as to say they're not really a "music" band either.

Agreed. In nearly 16 years of seeing live music, there one of about three shows that I left half way through their show. 930 Club probably three or four years ago, terrible show.

Thought they were good at Rams Head Live except the fact that they had to tune their guitars after
every f'ing song.  Killed the flow.
