Comments

I love the intro that Conan gives them, much respect

set ratings record

I've listened to it now about 10 times. GREAT SONG. Good work guys.

Absolutely love it! Can't wait for the new album!!!

excellent! excited for new stuff! you guys rocked it.

Conan was definately exited as well as impressed. So was I. Will see Ed next Tuesday in Albany.

Love it.

I feel like I'm aging faster than Pearl Jam. They still ROCK and I'll be looking at Zimmer frames soon ;-)

Looking forward to Rotterdam in August!

can't wait to hear it again...live!

Is that Russell Crowe singing? Just kidding...Sounds fantastic. Can't wait to see them here in Toronto.

They just keep getting better through out the years. I can't wait for the new album! Does anyone know if their is a release date yet? If I can give one request. Please put Breath on the set list if/when you guys come to L.A. Love you guys, thank you for the amazing music. PJ fan for life.

Great performance, guys! I can't wait to see you at ACL in Austin!!!

That was a great performance! I can't wait for the new album!!!! I love your music!

Nice taste of what's to come. Sounds better each time I hear it.

Upon second review i love got some. The mix could've been better hard to hear Ed. Does anyone think the new cd will be released sooner now ?

Been a Ten Club member from year #1...and like a fine wine, the group sounds better each and every time I hear them. There is NO other band in the world that can make this claim.

Helluva a way to kick off Conan's new gig!

What a great song! What a performance! Can't wait to to get the album, put on the headphones and get lost for awhile.

got some if ya need it. hellz yeah, that was some hot shit. keep rockin' pj!!!

WOW!! Amazing, sounds better and better every time I watch it.

I dig the new song, great energy! Can't wait to see them live again. I just read that the tentative release date of the new CD is September 22.

GREAT! ANYTHING PJ PLAY, IT ALWAYS ROCKS...

So looking forward to the new album.

Freakin' awesome! I can't wait.

fantastic song , fantastic performance , even better than i thought it could have been . can't wait unitl august

F'n Awesome!

I love the song. Thanks, see you in Toronto!

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5th listen and love it. Really pumping!!!

Great they're alive !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome song. Love Mike's sound on this one. It screams GET SOME!

Loved the song. Kind of like when avacado came out we got a taste of gone from AC show in '05 but they held the album for months afterward.(yeah I know the went into the studio after the tour was over) They had to have some of the material likely in the can before the tour. It is so worth the wait to have the new album day like a grown up version of christmas morning. Sept can't get here fast enough. At least I got 2 nights of Eddie next week to tide me over.

I GOT SOME IF YOU NEEEED IT!!! Nice work boys!!!! CARRY ON!!

I DVR'd this and watched it about 10 times last night. Totally agree this is going to be a great hit song for them. They shredded the new stage at the Tonight Show. Way to break it in guys. Way better audio on the web versions I've listened to today. This song is going to kill when it hits in a full live set. Can't wait.

Amazing...gave me goosebumps

CAN'T FUCKING WAIT FOR ANOTHER KICK-ASS RECORD

Best Band ever PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

awesome,i liked it alot,cant wait for the new album

I fucking love you guys.

What a performance...I can't wait for the new album to drop...they GOT SOME and I need it! Pearl Jam is hands down, by far and away the greatest musicians on the planet! I cannot get enough after all these years!

Kickass performance! Can't wait till the album comes out! Can't wait to see them in Chicago...

Excellent! Awesome way to kick off June! Can't wait for Chicago shows in August and Backspacer to come forth!

please, sir, can i have some more?

DUDES!!!!should have known they was going to be a relationship between their turtle and new album!! Got some was fuckn awesome, good job guys! made my night!

God, this was an amazing song!! can't wait for the album, it's going to be fuckin' AMAZING!

I wonder who the little fuck is that is laughing when Conan says "One of the best bands in the world". I hope a 10C member beat him shitless.

Great Rocking Tune!! Matts drums and Mikes guitar work is off the hook. Its punchy and hooky at the same time. Very catching song. If this is an example of Backspacer, we are in for a real ass kicking treat. Just release the thing today, Cmon....please? The boys still have it and after close to 20 years, they still surprise me. Great tune. Thanks

Once again, they amaze me!

I am going to be SO ready for Rotterdam now!!! Great tune and will fit in nicely with the rest of the family.

But seriously, as mentioned many times above. GIVE US THE ALBUM!!! C'mon, how about a limited release for 10c only??? :) We won't tell anyone where we got it from!

you guys are the best, great song, killer performance, man i can't wait until august 21st to see you guys.
cheers

Man, it's torture to see that new album and not be able to listen to it.

C'est super les gars!
Continue your good works!
Can't wait to hear the rest of your new songs!

J'espère que vous venez au Québec ou à Montréal bientôt!
The fans are over-ready!!!

Another classic... can't wait!

Fucking Awesome!!

WOW!!!! Who is better then them?

I can't wait until Aug 24,25th rolls around. Greatest group of guys eva!!!!!!!!

stone is amazing in this!

Where's the encore?

Awesome!!!!

Awesome song and performance! Cannot wait for the new album (love the album title too)!

LONG LIVE PEARL JAM!!!!!!!!

Had the energy of Save You from Riot Act and Stone Love the longer hair.

Amazing there is nothing like a new PJ song,we wait for it to come out,and they never let us down.I love the song and the energy i cant quit watching the video. Cant wait until Sept 2.

I absolutely LOVE the new song! I can't wait to hear the rest of the album!

Pearl Jam will always be the best rock band EVER!

Yeah, so excited to hear a new song. Triple Love it!

Awesome!

Great song, I can't wait to hear the new album!!! So glad to be seeing Eddie new Monday in Albany!!

That was great, but when are you coming back to Seattle?

Well, I can only follow all those guys above: great song. I'm really looking forward to the album. Something to look forward to! Thanks for the music!

Eddie looks really well....has he put on a bit of weight?

the song does get better and better every time i play it love it hope new cd is as fast and hard

im really pumped now.great song.im taking my 6 year old son to see you eddie when you get to atlanta.you are his idol and your mine too.thanks you pearl jam for getting me through my hard times with your music over the last 18 years.pearl jam forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

see you in Toronto guys..GREAT TRACK...song will be amazing when released. Greatest Rock band IN THE WORLD opening the New Tonight Show...long live PJ

rhcpjam6306 is so right -- Stone was on fire! Great song -- can't wait to hear it live in Chicago in August! Thanks to the band and Conan for giving us this taste.

Great Song Guys! What a great way to debut a new song. You never cease to amaze me. It's great that you're working with Brendan again as well. I'm looking forward to the new disc!!

Amazing...they just keep getting better. So stoked to see Eddie at the Lyric in Baltimore.

Impressed with the new stuff and ready for more.

More importantly, glad Jeff Ament is ok to perform given the Atlanta incident and it wasn't more serious.

Awesome song
awesome energy
yeah baby
Pure rock and roll
cant wait for the new album!

It is so refreshing to hear someone with "star power" like Conan O' Brien give much due respect to Pearl Jam. Indeed, Pearl Jam are one of the greatest bands in the world- maybe the greatest- and have been for a long, long time. One day the haters will be forced to wake up and admit this. The band is just too damn consistently great for them not to.

Facemelting greatness!!!!!

Eddie does look like he put on weight, must be the good life.I think he looks better with short hair. Mikey looks great!! Song will have to grow on me. I thought they were the highlight of an otherwise unfunny show.

WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Can't wait for the album!!

Beautiful work guys, that is why Conan is doing the Tonight show now. I don't know how I am going to wait till the new album drops.

well done as usual, looking forward to seeing Ed in Bawmer in a few weeks and cant wait for the new music.

That songs gonna be big. So good!

He coulda gotten ANY BAND IN THE WORLD to play that show. ANY BAND. Kiss. Probably the Stones. Maybe even Paige/ Plant. He wanted the best. He got the ABSOLUTE BEST. FUCKIN A GUYS!!!!!!!!!! You tore that motherfucker down.

I am now ssoooo glad I splurged and got those Chicago tickets!

Awesome performance last night!!!! Got one question... when is this album being released? I need it NOW!

Awesome. Cant wait to see the band in Chicago in August. Really looking forward to the upcoming album. Hopefully an extensive tour will follow. Keep rocking fellas.

As hard as it is to believe, Wikipedia, yeah that's right, says the album is supposed to be released September 22 this year. That seems a bit far out but I've seen information on there about PJ before and it was completely accurate. So... we'll see.

And I loved that song. I'm about as jacked as I've been for a new CD ever. They were so on point at the concerts last year when they were writing a lot of this new stuff. I'll be patient though.

Like a junkie, I need more Pearl Jam !!! When is the new release? A new tour? How about pre-order?

very nice guys good job!! i cant wait 4 the rest of the album

was the release date?

I love the new direction they are going in with the new material. Despite a low vocal mix, that was amazing!!!! Rock n' Roll lives on!

AMAZING!!!

Not to have a Letterman bias but listen to his intros for Pearl Jam - "We couldn't be more excited, more happy, and proud that our next guests are joining us for our 1000th show." Letterman loves PJAM and vice versa.

The NY media ripped into the show last night except for and i quote: "Thank God that Pearl Jam finished up the night with their new song. It was the only truly entertaining moment of the night."

Totally digging this new song....can't wait for the new album. This new song, "Got Some" has a "Sonic Reducer" vibe in the chorus. Maybe its just in the same key....totally rocks though.

Thanks to Ed, Mike, Matt, Jeff, Stone!

Fantastic song! Can't wait hear the rest of your new tunes. Rock 'n Roll

Just when you think a band cant get any better, they come up with something like this. Wow!!! If life was as consistant as Pearl Jam I'd be on a constant high. They always go to 11.

This song is awesome!

Just another tease, F&*KN AWESOME! I will see Eddie in Nashville in two short weeks, we can hardly wait! Thanks to Conan for recognizing "The Band"

Fricken AWESOME Song, I have listened to it a Million times already and I love it sooo much, great performance on Conan, watched it on Cable over here (which i was sooooo happy about).

Seriously CANNOT wait for the new album!!! Am hanging out SOOOOO BADLY!!

Can't wait for august 13 th, Rotterdam!

Very well done guys. Growing on me everytime I play it, tho Mike's playing is so tight and grabbed me from first listen - nice moves too!

I hope you release Backspacer when you are ready for it and feel it's done.

Love, Einat.

I love this song!!! 10 times heard...getting better every time!!! Can't wait for the new album!!!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weeW_Zbv_ZI&feature=related

(seems someone beat them on the chorus..)

Badass!!!!!!

Un-freaking believable. I knew i heard this punk/new wave sound somewhere before.

sounds great, can't wait!

ARGH never thought I would have to watch a 30 sec McDonalds commercial on the PJ website! Oh well, enjoyed the song nevertheless.

I'm impressed. And looking forward to the shows in Rotterdam, Berlin and London even more now.

If you need to improve sound quality, I can recommend http://www.wplonline.net, Mr. Woodhead does an excellent job, currently working for Travis. ;-)

Ok, I have to comment here....
LOVE the song! Nice to hear them rocking out with a excellent groove and catchy hook. Mike and Stone have a sweet playoff on each other with this tune, as well as Jeff and Matt keeping it tigt. Ed sounds great to me, even with the rough mix (not their fault). I KNOW this will be a crowd pleaser live too..
Now having said that...
ENOUGH with the comparison to Devo. I just listened to the song they "supposedly" ripped off and its NOT even close to a ripoff. If you have any musical knowledge and know how, you realize alot of songs have similair sounds, I mean theres only about 15 chords in rock n roll, right (LOL). But to say its a ripoff is really stretching the truth. If you want to criticize feel free, but do so with a meaningful opinion. If you can't, well theres plenty of other sites to go to where you can hate all you want.
For the rest of us jammers...ROCK ON!! Can't wait for Backspacer...gotta Get Some.
Peace.

Great new song, good performance. But damn NBC...only one song? What the hell?!? Two plus an encore would have been beautiful. I sort of felt like I was standing there with an erection and nowhere to put it!

Oh well, I'll patiently wait for the new album, and more importantly a stop in Utah on the 2010 Backspacer tour?

Keep on rockin' in the free world PJ!

I Love us, incredible. The last Sunday i saw Neil Young in San Sebastian (Basque Country-Spain) and was amaizing and now that video.....uuuaaaauu.
Come here please,please!!!

Great song, yea, but how about the album art that Conan holds up before they play? Pretty sweet...

Great song, but only one? I guess thats the way it goes. What a tease. Can't wait for the album.

definitly rhought there was going to be two songs for the night, but no-the-less kiddies it ROCKED! People who think it's a rip off of DEVO, come'on man! First off it's not like PJ don't know "got a gut feelin'" and there sitting around saying "hmmm, we've been making our own music for years upon years...let's steal someone elses."

COME'ON! there are similarities yes, but Jesus it's not stolen and how about thinking maybe DEVO has some influence on the band. Gut Feelin's a really good song and you know what GOT SOME is too...weird two good songs that have similar sounds.

Get over the DEVO crap and ROCK if you wanna rock. 20 years of fantastic music one or two songs might have some of the bands interests in them if not all there songs.

By the way,

I GOT SOME if you need it!

Ever since I new they were going to sing at Conan O'Brien
I couldn't wait I am already saving my money hoping they will come to
San Diego soon or LA. my
My 10 yr old son can't wait to see you in concert Eddie and my son and I
now you are the greatest Pearl Jam for ever.

I want to hear it live in NEW ORLEANS!!! Come on guys, you used to record in the city - No Code. I know its tough to sell tickets down here, but maybe House of Blues or a local venue like the Howlin' Wolf? You could do a fan club only show, I'm sure some people would fly into to the city to enjoy it.

Love this band!!

Love it! Love it! Love it! Now I'm horny for the new album!!

Can't wait to hear it live! The Ten Clubbers' will be jumping like crazy on this song. Excellent job boys! See you in TO :D

Does the video only work for US citizens? That's discrimination!!

Kick-A**, guys. Superb name for the new album. Makes sense on so many levels, not to exclude the racer, Backspacer.

works for Canadians...

i am so happy you posted the clip here.....i don't have tv at home, and have health issues that keep me from getting around well sometimes...loved it....of course.....very excited about the new album.....i live with chronic pain these days....you guys keep me going when nothing else does...thank you so much

You've got some....I want some!! What an amazing song, can't wait for the album and the gig in Rotterdam!

This song sounds better the more I listen to it which seemed to happen with just about every song on the last album too! I cant wait to hear a good studio recording of it because it seemed like the sound guys were off their game. Ed and Matt were too quiet, all you could really hear was Stone, Mike and Jeff. Anyways, great song guys!! I'm looking forward to hearing the rest of the album!!

GOT SOME more songs! i cant wait... i finally joined ten club after over 20 yrs of rocking to my fave band in the world! thank you so much for all your awesomeness!

It's a song that once you heard it, you ask, once again! Can't wait until 18th August in London!

WOW! superb performance and great song. I can't wait to hear this Gem at the ACL Festival!
:)

one remedy against pain! Pearl Jam, it helps me too when I've got pain!

Amazing!!!!! 4 times heard...learned by heart! :D
I'm really looking forward to Rotterdam live performance!
you guys rock! |m/_

Great new song guys. Lovin it so much. Its gotta be played in the UK in Aughust.
As for DEVO, yer it sounds similar but not the same by any stretch.

it doesnt like pjs song.
whoever said great song i advise them to listen oldies. everyday going worse. the song doesnt beseem pj.
but im very excited to see them one more time.
this will be great. cant wait

Please please please come back to Australia soon !

Dead Man Walking - literally LoL dude... Wouldn't have thought of that on my own, but once mentioned I can see the connection without even looking again of course, but I digress...

Rockin' sauce fellas! and as Dr. Nick might've phrased it: "See you soon every-Pearl Jam"

i have to admit... i just jizzed a lil bit.... hehe

did anyone else get startled at the end when conan came up and said "HEY!"? Maybe I was listening too loud.

Sick....just completely fucking RIDONKULOUS!

Classic.

Peace

Who said anything about hate, criticize, stolen and rip-off? Before people comment on other peoples comments they should have some knowledge of the English language and the use of adverbs. I've waited weeks for PJ to perform on Conan and was blown away with the bands energy level, They still have testosterone leftover from the 90's and early the 0's....Rock On !
I've been their # 1 fan since Mutha Love Bone and Temple of the Dog project.
just an observation.

The name of PJ'S new album is BACKSPACER....I seem to recall back in April Pearl Jam sponsored a Leatherback Turtle in The Great Turtle Race and the turtles name was BACKSPACER.
just an observation.

Thanks for the insight Pharoahs Son, you seem to be a bad a$$, just an observation : )
- Always with the bi- or tri- naural album titles, eh... i.e. literal meaning, tentative/alternative meaning, and I'm sure an even more alterior meaning that the band has for it, in this case at the least, for said reptile.

I always wonder about those folks who come on to a website they're (supposedly?) a fan of- or that's the intent of the website anyway -and encourage or outright bring negativity to a given forum or activity there... One can only attempt an unoffensive, intelligent counter/pre-emptive statement to enlighten, or make aware, or just shoot the breeze with others I know dig at least one thing I dig, hopefully to a like degree. Any insight on a release date?

Agreed.

These dudes are getting older and better like a fine wine, but perhaps Eddie drank a bit too much of himself (a bit bloated in the face.)

Song is fantastic, band is as good as ever. Now if they could only do a tour with KOL opening I would fork over a full year's salary!!!

Amen to that JR...just saw KOL in Cincy a few weeks back, seeing them and Pearl Jam again together like Lollapalooza in 07, would be so bad ass. Maybe they'll join in the fun in Chicago!

It won't play for me. Has it been taken down? :(

It's only one little letter but thank christ this song is called GOT Some.

A couple of things from a thirteen year member & 18 year fan.....
First, I had a great day today. My boyfriend took me to dinner at a nice resturant, then he got me a kitten, and I also found out Im getting the 2009 exclusive alive guy hoodie. Only 2000 made. Yeah!!
Second, That performance was awesome, the song was awesome, and all the guys looked fantastic!!!! Eddie didnt have a bloated face, hes always had those cute cheeks. He looked more to me like he has been working out. His chest was huge but but his belly was not.
third, there were some not so nice comments on here. Why do people who are not complete pearl jam heads come on here in the first place. This is a spot just for us. Im sure all of you have caught flack in one way or anouther for being obsessed with PJ. This is our place. Besides there incredible talent and long standing fame, they give back to the world with all there charities and protesting. So get the heck out of the fan club so real supporters can have those seats and those exclusive items.
Thanks Pharos Son and the others for noticing where the name came from thats always good to know.
And again that song was so cool. What ever it is that he has I need it baaaaaad.
By the way, Pearl Jam has never ripped anyone off. Dont be so ignorant.

Yes, I think Eddie did haha :)

Thanks CT !!

P.S. ;) 's >(winks) @ CT31264

* Swattng at flies just aggravates them more. .
* Maybe we'll have an extra PJ ticket soon?
* Enjoy your new cat and hoodie!!!

Riddle for the ri dic u lous
If Backspacer is a reptilian turtle what is GET SOME?

Im guessing August for the release. Tours start then.

I guess I'm the one who has to say it......Ed's put on some weight!! Oh well there still the best!!!

DUDE ALL IM GONNA SAY IS "HELL YA!!!!!!!!"

Has a very RVM feel to it. Hopefully the new album can live up to 'Avocado.' See ya' in Albany, Ed.

Harika bir sarki!Berlin'de canli dinlemeyi sabirsizlikla bekliyorum...

I GOT SOME IF YOU NEED IT!!!!
