Pearl Jam on their long awaited Gigaton tour featuring Eddie Vedder finally returned to the stage with the rest of Pearl Jam: Mike McCready, Jeff Ament, Stone Gossard, and Matt Cameron. Klinghoffer also joined the band, as heβs doubling as a touring multi-instrumentalist on this trek. The stage, while massive, was sparse with the exception of a giant arc of lights that changed colors to fit the mood of each song.
Pearl Jamβs return to arena play has been long-awaited, and where better thanβin Eddie Vedderβs wordsββThe Fabulous Fβking Forum!β Not since 2016 has the band played an arena tour, so while it was nearly impossible to recall the power and raw energy that is a Pearl Jam arena show after a six-year hiatus, muscle memory alone was enough to fill the seats, even for the late-arriving California crowd. Eddie Vedder treated early concertgoers to a solo performance of Tom Pettyβs βI Wonβt Back Downβ before introducing opening act Pluralone.
A short while later, the lights dimmed and Pearl Jam took the stage as Eddie Vedder, the very picture of cool in a black leather jacket, serenaded fans with βOf The Girlβ. This rare and highly sought opener from the bandβs sixth studio effort, Binaural, was indicative that Pearl Jam might dig a little deeper into the catalog on the tourβs second night, and indeed they did just that, playing songs from each of their first six albums over the course of the 22-song set.
No one holds a crowd quite like Vedder. The band retreated to the shadows as story time began, Vedder recounting how he missed a performance of The Wall in this building because his friend forgot the tickets as Mike McCready punctuated the tale with a quick lick from βWish You Were Hereβ.
After the Gossard-penned βBuckle Upβ, Vedder next shouted out original drummer Dave Krusen who was believed to be in the building before a searing βEven Flowβ in which guitarist Mike McCready melted faces as he poured out years worth of pent up aggression from the bandβs forced hiatus. As it usually does, a quick story on author Howard Zinn preceded Lost Dogsβ βDownβ.
After a brief encore break, the band ripped into βState of Love and Trustβ before facing the back and evoking more tears during βWishlistβ. βDo The Evolutionβ was rowdy as ever before my wifeβs all time favorite, βBlackβ, a song sheβs never seen live but that the band is guaranteed to play whenever Iβm there alone. Sorry, babe, but this oneβs for you.
As is usually the case, βAliveβ was played under the full glow of the house lights as the PJ faithful reveled in the song that set this train in motion 31 years ago. More than anything, βAliveβ reminds me life is a gift and every live Pearl Jam performance is a blessing, inspiring me to treat my neighbor as Iβd like to be treated and to make the most of every moment. βYellow Ledbetterβ punctuated the evening, McCready giving a highly intimate solo from his knees at the end of the stage as Vedder wailed the time-honored and neβer-understood lyrics.
During the show Eddie gave kudos to a student who barely recognized him on campus in San Diego and also “Dave” who survived a brain tumor and swore he’d make this show which he did! You can clearly see him in the crowd as well as a bunch of other smiling faces in the crowd.
