This is a time-lapse of Pearl Jam performing KLRU’s “Austin City Limits” (ACL) PBS concert series taping on October 3rd, 2009.

This time-lapse was created from photographs taken every 6 seconds from 9:09AM - 11:29PM. Over 10,000 images we’re taken.

If you notice Eddie Vedder performing on stage before they seem to begin the actual show, that is during rehearsal. Yes, that is Ben Harper with him.

Pearl Jam & NY Time's Word of the Day?!?

That’s right… check it out.

Word of the Day | sanctimonious

sanctimonious • \ˌsaŋ(k)-tə-ˈmō-nē-əs, -nyəs\ • adjective

: excessively or hypocritically pious

The word sanctimonious has appeared in 12 Times articles over the past year, including in the recent review of the new Pearl Jam album “Backspacer,” on September 21, 2009:

While the music hurtles along, Pearl Jam’s new songs don’t try to fake youthful attitudes or troubles. Mr. Vedder no longer sings about surviving traumas, as he did on Pearl Jam’s first albums, or vents political anger as he did on the band’s previous studio album, ”Pearl Jam,” in 2006. Now his lyrics reflect — sometimes raucously, sometimes pensively — on a fulfilled life. […]

Pearl Jam’s quandary is that with fewer outside targets or frustrations to rail against, it risks turning sanctimonious. No doubt Mr. Vedder means it when he sings, ”Fill the air up with love,” or ”I’m still holding tight to this dream of distant light.” But Pearl Jam’s music doesn’t align well with satisfaction.
