Episode 367: San Diego, CA - 10/9/2009

This episode keeps the Chronology Series train moving while also digging into current events surrounding the world of Pearl Jam. 2009 was a fresh year for the band. It was a renewed start as they brought back long time producer Brendan O'Brien into the studio to produce their 9th album, Backspacer. It was a more positive outlook for a band that spent the last three records exhausting frustration over war and other tragic moments, and that outlook was presented as such on stage. While we cover a hometown San Diego show for this episode, you can't talk 2009 without mentioning the impact that the final shows from The Spectrum had on this fanbase. This episode is a culmination of weeks of Javi dreading his least favorite era of Pearl Jam live. However, we put a challenge to the test to see if he could make it through the entire show without being irritated by the sonic staleness of the guitars from this tour, and you'll have to tune in to see how well he acquitted himself. It helps that this is a hometown show with some great stories that more than make up for the sounds not being up to par. We get to see music instructors of Ed and Matt join stage for Little Wing, and an outstanding cover of So You Want To Be A Rock 'n' Roll Star where Ed shares a fun story about his time trying to play music in San Diego. Oh, and I suppose it needs to be mentioned here that we have a show announcement! We'll react to the lineup announcement at Ohana and the questions that still remain after knowing that Pearl Jam will headline the third night.
