Around the time that Crowe’s movie opens in late summer, Pearl Jam are planning a massive “weekend bash,” as Curtis calls it, somewhere in the middle of the country. Details are still being worked out, but it will probably be a two-day event involving multiple bands and Pearl Jam headlining both nights. “We’ve played enough festivals that we know what makes them exciting,” says Ament. “We want to give people places to go that aren’t necessarily musical – second stages and all that kind of stuff. We’re asking our friends if they want to play a couple of shows with us.”
The group plans special sets at the festival, but don’t expect to hear any of their classic albums performed straight through. „We talk about that stuff,“ says Ament. „For me, personally, it starts to become a little bit of a nostalgia thing. I remember we once did Ten start to finish and it didn’t work very well because it was kind of a little bit too down…I think we did a good enough job of mixing up the sets every night that we give people a taste of every record.
Cool…..nach der DMB Wochenende direkt zum Pearl Jam bash!
