I always thought Yield was a strong album. Wish list got a lot of radio play but then they did the cover of Last Kiss and that's like the only song radio chose to play by Pearl Jam from 98 to 99.

That shitty cover was entirely responsible for me not liking Pearl Jam for a little while cos it was the only thing I'd heard of theirs at the time. Yield is great though, why anyone would chose to play Last Kiss repeatedly on the radio when In Hiding was also a single around that time is beyond me.

He then tells a story he admits has no point about seeing faces in the tiles of his hotel sink that appear to be judging him. He suspects his toothpaste’s flavor crystals might be dosed. He closes by warning people to watch out and not to let anyone slip anything in their drinks.)

(Ed talks about the crew being part of the family and that Tim Quinlan, known to everyone as “Skully” had died today. He had been a guitar tech and crew member during the first ten years of the band.

17. Let The Records Play
18. Spin The Black Circle
19. Do The Evolution (sings “These LGBT ain’t got nothing on Me”)

Encore Break One

(Ed gives a shout out monitor to engineer Karrie Keyes. He then spots a young girl in the third row on her father’s shoulders. He asks the girl her name. He has her repeat it a few times and says “I stand in front of Matt Cameron all night so I can’t hear a god damn thing….I can’t hear a fucking’ thing. And neither will you after tonight. Say hello to Magda everybody.
He dedicates Future Days to Evan who has no sign of the cancer he was diagnosed with a couple of years ago)

20. Future Days
(Mike starts to play “Given To Fly” but Ed has other plans. While the band switch instruments Ed asks the audience if they know who played this venue first? “You are right, Janet Jackson. Or Miss Jackson if I’m nasty. So no disrespect to Miss Jackson but WE were the first band! We’re back!”)
21. Nothingman
22. Given To Fly
(Ed sees a sign requesting ‘Inside Job’ to remember the Virginia Tech shooting. Ed says they haven’t practiced that song but the next song might apply as well. He expresses disbelief that shootings keep happening and people are still fighting to keep guns so readily available. He wishes that people could move on from small matters like what bathroom a person should use and start taking care of each other. “Life is short and the earth is fragile, this we know..” He essentially pleas for love and respect for all people and for everyone to focus on bigger issues and help and take care of each other)

23. Present Tense

(This song was very important to me growing up. I think the first few times I listened to it I was on mushrooms so I took a few just now…no, no I am responsible. Let’s play it. This song is like jumping off a cliff.)

24. Comfortably Numb-(Gilmour, Waters) {Ed plays Piano on Boom’s riser}
25. Lightning Bolt
26. Porch

Encore Break Two

(Ed thanks the audience for being so good. He spots another young girl and says “is this your first concert? Shaka. You really should see Janet Jackson, she is great but you got this one under your belt now. Ed talks about working with Matt Cameron and said, “someone told me that it was twenty five years ago today for Temple Of The Dog. He explains that he heard a song on a jukebox. Learned it quickly then he and Matt played it at a club.)

27. Last Kiss-(Cochran) {played to audience behind the stage. Mike climbs some seats to get close enough to the audience to let them touch his guitar and after the song he hands out a bunch of picks.}
28. Breath
29. Comatose
30. Better Man/Save It For Later-(Charley, Cox, Morton, Steele, Wakeling)
31. Alive (Ed goes into the audience and hugs a guy holding a sign that says “Alive Saved My Life”. Meanwhile Mike goes over the barricade and solos amidst the fans.)

33. Yellow Ledbetter

All of Vs. in order, Comfortably Numb, Baba O'Riley and Yellow Ledbetter all in the same fucking setlist?!?!?!?! I would fucking genuinely kill someone to see that.
 
Pearl Jam is a touring powerhouse. It's cool to see that they perform so many songs live.

Pearl Jam setlists are unbelievable. We can only dream U2 would ever play a similar length

Yeah I have mixed feelings about this whole cancellation thing.

I totally agree with the message but feel horrible for people that planned on seeing the shows...especially those who spent money on travel.

Yeah, i support the cause too, but it sucks for the fans, and I don't think the politicians will care.

I was feeling safe because they hadn't said anything and it was two days away, but then they go and cancel at the last second.
 
A little surprised they waited till so close to show time to cancel. Would have been a little better for their fans, many of whom travel, if they had announced the cancellation back when Bruce cancelled his show, would have given folks almost 2 weeks notice to alter/cancel plans.

Fans had been speculating since the Bruce cancellation and as each day went by, more and more, everyone assumed the show would go on. While I understand the reason for the cancellation, I don't understand the timing. Should really have been announced at least a week ago.
 
I'm so conflicted by these cancellations. It's nice of bands to take a stance but as this drt4 bloke says I reeeeeeeally don't think conservative politicians are going to be swayed by rock bands cancelling. I think it really, really sucks for the fans (is North Carolina a place that regularly gets big gigs?) and I think the bands would send a much stronger message by playing the gigs and making a big statement through signs or visuals or proselytising. Like Bono does literally all the time.
 
The only thing that bugs me is there are other states with bathroom laws and the so-called religious freedom restoration acts that maybe didn't rush their discriminatory grossness into law as quickly as North Carolina did, but with the exception of Bryan Adams canceling a show in Mississippi and Bruce threatening to cancel in Michigan, they're largely ignored in this conversation. North Carolina is where the coverage is. Don't get me wrong, I think it's pretty cool. I also liked what Laura Jane Grace had to say about why she didnt cancel Against Me's show in NC.

Politicians don't listen to rock stars.

They do, however, listen to businesses...

And a couple of hours ago the Greater Raleigh Chamber of Commerce came out in opposition of HB2 and called for its immediate repeal.

So it's working.

The statement they issued specifically noted 3.2 million in lost revenue since the law went into effect, along with a couple hundred lost jobs that were plegged, and the overwhelming amount of bad publicity.


I do think they probably should have canceled sooner, but the only people who were negatively effected were those who were flying in, or who bought tickets through illegeitamte means. Most hotels have 24 hour cancellation policies, and all tickets bought through Ticketmaster, PearlJam.com or StubHub are fully refundable.

Canceling two weeks ago wouldn't have allowed those who bought plane tickets to get their money back, as most plane tickets are non refundable... and I'd you did pay more for refundable tickets, then you can still get that refund.

That's good. Do they have power? Will it affect change?
