    Episode 335: Pittsburgh, PA - 6/23/2006
    May 14 2025
    The final destination on Pearl Jam's spring 2025 tour will be Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, a city that's no stranger to big time shows. Although they haven't been back there in 12 years, there was a time where the Steel City saw it's fair share of shows. From 1998-2006, there were five shows played, every one of them memorable in their own way. This episode covers their 2006 show from the Mellon Arena that kicked off the second leg of the North American tour that year with the band and the crowd so hot that the nearly melted the igloo. Sometimes you'll notice that certain Pearl Jam cities are known for having a song that's connected with them. For example, people usually connect Wash with Pittsburgh due to the umbrella moment in 2000. But at this show, another song developed a connection as they covered the Rolling Stones Waiting On A Friend for the first of a small handful of times. It was done to pay tribute to the Stones after opening for them at PNC Park the year prior, and it's a moment that the Yinzer crowd is proud of. Other great moments that we'll talk about include a monstrous Release to kick things off, an incredible version of Black with an It's OK tag, Stone's smokin' solo on RITFW and a plethora of Avocado songs that were kicked in high gear during this era. We'll also discuss how songs like Inside Job and Smile have continued to grow and become fan favorites throughout the years. We run down the entire setlist, but you'll want to stay tuned to stories from Javi's Nashville trip where he met not one, but two members of the band. You won't want to miss it!

  • Episode 334: Raleigh, NC - 4/15/2003

    Episode 334: Raleigh, NC - 4/15/2003
    May 7 2025
    Next up on the Pearl Jam 2025 tour is a stop in Raleigh, North Carolina. This is a destination that hasn't been played since this show we're covering in 2003, but that was never originally planned to be the case. On the 2016 tour, a show in Raleigh was cancelled due to the band's opposition to the HB2 law that discriminated against transgender people. It was something that caused a bit of commotion within this fanbase, and we'll get into all of what happened nine years ago, but after the bill was overturned the band felt they needed to make it up to this Raleigh crowd. And if this 2003 show is any indication, they might be in for a good one. 2003 is a favorite tour year for many due to the band truly elevating their game to the next level. Setlists started to become very fan friendly and collector heavy, Mike McCready became the showman that we know of him today, and no two shows were even close to the same. If you like Riot Act heavy shows, this is a good one for you. The deeper cuts such as Help Help, Cropduster and You Are are brought out here and all sound fresh for the same. Save You, I Am Mine and Love Boat Captain are also major highlights from this show, and you can tell which ones are gonna stick around throughout the duration of this North American run. There's also a great run at this show featuring four straight Vitalogy era songs, and we'll get into why these songs together may feel like a mini rock opera. Check out the episode for the full rundown of the setlist, a little talk of what's been going on out on tour and a few stories from the Florida shows and the 2003 Evolution yips!

  • Episode 333: Atlanta, GA - 8/7/2000

    Episode 333: Atlanta, GA - 8/7/2000
    Apr 30 2025
    With the 2025 tour up and running, we're heading to our next destination - the home of the Braves in Atlanta, Georgia that hasn't seen a Pearl Jam show in nearly 13 years. This episode will cover the last time that they played in the Phillips (now State Farm) Arena back in 2000 that they will be returning to this week. We'll talk a little bit about the history of Atlanta shows that of course will mostly include one of the greatest Pearl Jam shows of all time in 1994. This show was given the distinction of being an Ape/Man show, which means it was one of a few handpicked shows that the band recommended that fans give a chance to when the official bootlegs were all released in stores. A lot of our conversations will be us trying to determine if they made the right decision selecting this show. There are definitely performances that stand out. For Crazy Mary, it was the first time that they ever passed a bottle of wine around during the jam. It's also the first appearance of the Romanza intro for Better Man that got played for the majority of 2000. We'll also dig deep on Binaural era tracks Nothing As It Seems, Breakerfall and Rival that we almost never get to talk about. Find out if we think that this one was worthy of the Ape/Man tag. Also to note, this episode was recorded prior to the start of the tour, so if you're looking for in depth analysis, head on over to our Patreon to check out the instant reaction episodes for both Hollywood, Florida shows!

  • Episode 332: Ft Lauderdale, FL - 10/7/1996

    Episode 332: Ft Lauderdale, FL - 10/7/1996
    Apr 23 2025
    Welcome to tour week! Pearl Jam is back on the road hitting the southern United States as a follow up to their 2024 Dark Matter run. Like we always do for every tour, we'll be covering some of the locations that they'll visit as our episodes all month, starting with south Florida representation featuring a Fort Lauderdale show from 1996. Their history in Florida to that point had featured some very notable shows such as a Vote For Change show in Pensacola, one of the best quality bootlegs from St. Petersburg and a show from Miami that caused a riot. This No Code era show may not have had fans storming the gates, but it was a strong showing from the band in a unique venue for them. With the Ticketmaster boycott still in full effect, they opted to play at Fort Lauderdale Stadium, a soccer stadium meant to only seat 8,000 that crammed in 24,000 for this show. This was not a venue known for music, and we'll discuss a little of that in the episode. We'll talk a lot about some great performances of this era, and highlight some of the great moments featuring Jack Irons. We'll dig into excellent renditions of In My Tree, Corduroy, Porch, Immortality and spend a little time talking about how they did it all with Jack without the use of count-ins. It's time to hit the road! Check out this episode to get you prepped for everything tour wise, and find out more details on how you can listen to our instant reaction episodes that we'll release after every show!

  • Episode 331: Amsterdam, NL - 7/25/2022

    Episode 331: Amsterdam, NL - 7/25/2022
    Apr 16 2025
    We're one week away from the start of Pearl Jam's 2025 tour, and as we have come to know over recent years, anything can happen at a Pearl Jam show. This show from Amsterdam in 2022 is an excellent example of that. After suffering vocal damage from wildfire smoke in Paris, Eddie was not cleared to sing in the three shows following the incident. Shows in Vienna, Prague and the first night of Amsterdam were canceled, leaving doubt that the planned second show would take place. However, Ed was able to take the stage without being at 100% and still put on a show to remember. You can say that this show was the beginning of a new era for them. There were stools on the stage to open as the band would play the first five songs seated. This was something that the band would bring forth into the next two tour years in order to ease themselves into a set to prevent Ed from over-exhausting his voice. This section proved to set the tone for a night full of surprises and deep cuts as Nothing As It Seems opened the show for the first time since 2000, and W.M.A. made a rare appearance in the set. With Ed needing some vocal help, he sought the rest of the band for respite as we got to hear Stone sing Mankind, Mike and Matt tag team on KISS song Black Diamond, and Josh wailing away on Purple Rain. We invite our friend, Lori Jernberg, on for this episode and hear her stories of attending the show and dealing with the cancelation the night prior. Check out this episode to wet your appetite before the band makes their way out on tour!

  • Episode 330: West Lafayette, IN - 3/17/1994

    Episode 330: West Lafayette, IN - 3/17/1994
    Apr 9 2025
    1994 was a notable year for Pearl Jam as they spent March and April touring the midwest and the northeast in support of their Vs. record. During this time they were arguably considered to be the biggest band in America, which meant that tickets for their shows were in high demand, but it was mainly due to their decision to play smaller venues. As it was tougher for fans to get their hands on tickets, scalpers were starting to become an issue. This show we're covering comes from Purdue University where the big story is centered around scalpers and a situation that led to a bomb threat being called in prior to the show's start. While the bomb threat was certainly a scare in the moment, all it did was motivate the band. Once it was safe to go back in and start the show, they brought their a-game to the stage. These performances define the intensity of the era as nearly every song features Ed's screeching vocals piercing through the speakers, Stone's hypnotic groove finding it's sweet spot, and Mike's superior talent on display. We'll discuss some of the best of the era such as Go, Animal, Daughter, Black, Garden and Porch. We'll also get a taste of Vitalogy with very early performances of Tremor Christ and Not For You. We're two weeks away from our first show of 2025, so we'll kick off the episode with some of our thoughts about what's happening in Pearl Jam world at this current time, and we'll talk about a man who goes by the name Frank X who may or may not be a lizard king faking his death!

    Episode 329: St. Paul, MN - 8/31/2023
    Apr 1 2025
    We're sticking with a show from recent memory as we inch closer to the kickoff of the 2025 tour for Pearl Jam, and that's exactly what we'll cover tonight - a tour kickoff. It took them nine years to return back to the home of the Minnesota Wild in St. Paul, and to make it up to the north star fans it was the first of a two night stay. Javier was in attendance for this show, so he'll share stories and recount memories from the night, including the surprise opener to get the tour year started in a big way. The phrase "set the tone" gets tossed around a lot around here when a song can be an indication of how the night would go, but in the case of a song like Indifference, opening with it set the tone for the entire tour year. It was the indication that everything was going to be on the table, whether it was messing around with song placements, to playing songs that have been no where near the band's radar in years. A song like Insignificance that got played at this show for the first time since 2016 is a great example of how far they were willing to push their limits. Even as the tour went on, we got to hear tunes like God's Dice, Green Disease, Marker In The Sand, Undone, Out Of My Mind, Unemployable and Who You Are get added to the mix. So in retrospect, Indifference was a much bigger moment than the shock value of beginning the show with it instead of ending. We'll also spend a lot of time on this version of Love Boat Captain. This song was ranked the #1 moment of the 2023 tour on the Live On 4 Legs countdown, and it's due to it's heartfelt tribute to the Hawaii wildfires that ravaged the islands that summer. Check out our discussion on this version about how Ed always meets the moment when it comes to dealing with tragedy, especially one that hit so close to home for him.

  • Episode 328: Let's Play 162! Pearl Jam's Connection With Baseball

    Episode 328: Let's Play 162! Pearl Jam's Connection With Baseball
    Mar 26 2025
    This episode will explore a different avenue involving Pearl Jam outside of their live shows. As many know, multiple members of the band are considered avid fans of baseball - most notably Eddie Vedder. From shows in legendary ballparks such as Wrigley Field and Fenway Park, to their music that's been provided as a soundtrack to the game over the years, there are about a hundred different connections that you can make with the band and the game. On the eve of Opening Day, we'll dig deep into what makes Pearl Jam and baseball the perfect match, from drawing a parallel line to the fandoms and exploring Ed's history as a rockstar ambassador to the game. Listen in as we'll have a great conversation with long time acclaimed baseball writer, Peter Gammons. Peter has been long known for his affinity for both fandoms, and we'll get to talking with him about the Hot Stove Cool Music benefit, playing on stage alongside Bernie Williams and his personal hero Buddy Guy, his relationship with Eddie, some of his favorite Pearl Jam lyrics and how they connect to baseball, Fenway Park as a music venue, and he'll even share some of his bold predictions for the upcoming 2025 season. It's a can't miss interview, make sure you tune in! We'll also talk to a panel of great friends who share passions for both the band and the game, and we'll share a lot of stories about ballpark shows and experiences. We have fan representation for the Mets, Cubs, Phillies, Red Sox, Yankees, Padres and Braves, and somehow we all made it out alive! We also put together our favorite Pearl Jam live moments that incorporate baseball, so you won't want to miss it!
