Episode 234: Santiago, CHL - 11/16/2011

Let's head down to South America for this episode where the crowds show up in massive numbers and bring their powerful voices along with them. We have a special one here for you as we're joined by our 5th leg, the Gear Guru Javier Hervas, for the entire episode. As you may have heard in recent episodes, Javier is our expert musician who joins in for a few segments per show to discuss some of the things you hear in songs and how the band creates the sound you're witnessing. He'll break down all of those pieces for an entire set here, including why 2011 is an important year for developing the tone that is still used in current shows. As this was a show he attended in his homeland of Chile, the Guru will pull double duty talking about both the sound experience as well as his personal perspective and memories from the show. We'll talk about Unthought Known being an usual opener getting the nod to kick things off, a wild crowd who would not adhere to Ed's 'three steps back' request and full breakdown on some of the best highlights of the night, including amazing versions of Black and Rearviewmirror. Javier will answer your questions for him this week about gear that they've used on tours and what makes certain songs work, and we'll also go into heavy discussion on the song Olé. It's our first time covering the song since episode 13, which means a full breakdown on why this could be Pearl Jam's worst song was a necessary discussion!
