Music

Last friday I bought the "Lost dogs" album by Pearl Jam, a collection of 30 previously unreleased tracks on 2 CDs. On the first CD, the second track, there's this song, "Sad". It's definitely one of the best Pearl Jam songs ever done.



When I first listened to this song last friday, I instantly knew that I heard this song before, somewhere. After some thinking, I could even remember that I saw some video of it, when Pearl Jam were playing this song, I even have the picture of Mike McCready playing the song's intro in front of me. So, the first thing that I did was looking at the Pearl Jam Touring Band 2000 DVD (a really fine music DVD, btw!). But... nada! There was no song named "Sad" on it. Then I had a look at the Pearl Jam Mp3 files that I have in iTunes (I swear, I own all CDs to the Mp3 files!), which are quite a lot already (over 180 songs), but there is no other track named "Sad" somewhere.



So, the big question that bugs me since friday is: where do I know the song "Sad" by Pearl Jam from? Where could I have seen a live performance of it? I really hate deja vu experiences, especially when they could be real ones (i.e. that I've never seen any video and never heard it before in reality, but that this is only my imagination).

The pictures that I took at Aerodrome 04 are finally available here.

Live concerts are great. Especially when they're. On Friday, there was Summerbreak Festival in Linz, with the German band Mia. playing as headliners. I saw Mia. once before, at Aerodrome festival. But this time, I managed to actually get close to the stage, and so the whole concert was just amazing compared to Aerodrome. The music is so much full of energy, it's absolutely wonderful. Their choreography (yes, you won't believe it, there are "normal" bands who have choreography!) is just wonderful to look at, and I really enjoyed the unusual, weird, amazing, powerful moves and jumps done by the band's singer, Mieze.



Unfortunately, they didn't play their song "Was es ist". At Aerodrome, they played it in an extra-long extended Samba-like version that was much cooler than the song on the album. And they didn't play any encore, either. But still, I really enjoyed the whole concert.
