More Concert News From Philly
Dan sent us this "Best Correction Ever" from Philadelphia Weekly:
Editor's note: A review of Pearl Jam that appeared in Monday's Inquirer incorrectly characterized the audience's reponse to the keyboardist at Saturday's show. The audience was not booing Kenneth "Boom" Gasper, but cheering him on by chanting his nickname.I was confused like that the first time I saw Lou Reed onstage. People I know who went to Pearl Jam Storytellers earlier this week said it was amazing. As much as the haters dismiss The Avocado Album, you gotta admit it would be cool to see some live Ten in a tiny room.

I was saying Boo-urns.
Score = 0
actually a lotta fans actually are yelling "booo" now, cuz Boom fucking sucks ass. i don't mind some keyboards on a few PJ songs, but he's not a very skilled player whatsoever.
i'm sure he's a nice enough guy, but not too many people would miss him if he was gone.

BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCE!!!
Score = 0
I don't mind him on the songs that he worked on with the band like Love Boat Captain, or even on Betterman since there's already organs on the studio track, but I don't need the 10 minute long renditon of Crazy Mary or thick layed keys on Porch.

Duuuuuuuude... just like when Vince joined the Dead, man. Everyone was bummin' hard, then next thing you know Hornsby is playing with them.
And how come it's still just the stuff from Ten everyone wants to hear..?
Score = 0
the camden night II crazy mary organ solo was nutso...and i dunno how you couldn't love the energy coming from that organ solo and being given back by the crowd
and manc, only frat boys and deathly-drunk 16-year-olds want to hear stuff only from ten
Score = 0
You should go to a Joe Satriani show with Stuart Hamm on bass. The crowd yells for "Stuuuu...!" when his solo spot comes on.
