“Touch Me I’m Dick” from the Mookie Blaylock demos
I’m about to melt your minds. Here are three songs from Green River’s performance at Sub Pop 20th anniversary celebration in 2008.
Viva la Ducky Boys!!!
Psst…
Keep an eye out for Mr. Cameron side stage. ;)
Solid footage of Shadow’s reunion. Listen to how extremely different Mike’s parts are compared to what he currently does with Pearl Jam.
An Eddie Vedder & Jill McCormick cake topper? Yep, it exists.

When you’re a band with 20+ years of history you’re considered “classic rock.” (Taken with instagram)

Mike McCready’s old band Shadow, now called Shadow 86, is playing a benefit at the Tractor on Dec. 27. The band also features the Friel brothers and Danny Newcombe. The show will benefit Carbon Roots International. Shadow 86 will be supported by “TBA/special surprise guest.”
I found these old school bootlegs at Easy Street Queen Anne tonight. I passed on purchasing all three but don’t think I didn’t give heavy consideration to adding them to my collection of Pearl Jam recordings. The record on the left, titled Five Alive, cost $15. It is live recordings from the band’s ‘93 and ‘94 tours. The tracklist wasn’t anything all too impressive.
The middle record, In Rock We Trust, cost $20 and I almost bought it just based on its cover alone. I love that pic of Stone and Jeff. The record is a boot of both of the band’s Bridge School shows from 1994. It includes “Bee Girl” and “Walking the Cow,” which is a Daniel Johnston cover. It also has ”Footsteps” and “Wash,” two of my favorite Pearl Jam songs.
The record on the right, New Songs, also cost $20 and I had a tough time passing it up. It’s a compiltion of live recordings of songs that were yet to be released when the bootleg was produced which was some time in 1993-ish. The main lure was “Fuck Me In The Brain,” a song that I didn’t know exisited until tonight. Turns out it’s a pretty rare track. I passed on the purchase because I couldn’t justify $20 for one song, especially when it’s available to watch on YouTube for free.

A wonderful picture of Mike taken by the talented Karen Loria.
“Fuck Me In The Brain” performed in Indio, Calif. 1993. Apparently it has only been performed twice. I know nothing about this song, but if I had to guess I’d say it was written by Eddie. It’ smacks “Pry, To” “Bugs” and other Vitalogy-era oddities.
Speaking of Neil Young & Pearl Jam, here’s a clip of PJ & Uncle Neil playing “Rockin’ in the Free World’ from the 2011 Toronto show.
Google Music is giving away a bootleg of PJ’s Sept. 11, 2011 show. It’s free and it’s good. Download it now.
