Didn't Pearl Jam open up for U2 for a short time during Zoo TV?
yertle-the-turtle said:I think the MLK covers were Daughter tags...just a few lines over the outro of Daughter.
I freakin' love Daughter tags, they're so unexpected.

I also quoted you the last time I wrote down the info that's coming next.
A while ago there was another thread here on BandC about PJ where this same song was discussed.
Look in this thread on the final pages (page 6 if you have the setting of 50 posts per page):

Here's my post from that thread:
Continuing the U2-PJ connection, above snippet was played while supporting U2 on the Zooropa Tour.
Here's the report from Five Horizons (and from their other U2 support dates):
07/02/93 - Stadio Bentegodi: Verona, Italy [45m]
supporting: U2
set: Even Flow, Animal, Go, Rearviewmirror, Elderly Woman, Why Go, Jeremy, Black, Alive, Porch
notes: PJ is not received well at the shows opening for U2. The crowd is not into PJ and just wants U2.
07/03/93 - Stadio Bentegodi: Verona, Italy [45m]
supporting: U2
set: Why Go, Jeremy, Even Flow, Glorified G, Daughter, Alive, Go, (Sympathy for the Devil)/Porch, Rockin' in the Free World
notes: Ed, wearing a shirt saying "Paul" (Bono's given name), again tries to enchant the audience, sporting a devil mask and a green fly mask. After duct taping the waist and both legs of his baggy shorts on, he then throws himself into the audience from the long arms of the "Zoo TV tour" stage arms twice.
07/06/93 - Stadio Flaminio: Rome, Italy [46m]
attendance: 80,000
supporting: U2
set: Why Go, Jeremy, Even Flow, Glorified G, Daughter, Animal, Alive, Dissident, Blood, Porch/(Tearing)
notes: This crowd is clearly here for U2. Ed plugs the organizations (Greenpeace and Amnesty International) represented at this stadium concert by asking people to sign their names at their booths. The intro riff to U2's 'I Will Follow' is played before 'Daughter.'
07/07/93 - Stadio Flaminio: Rome, Italy [57m]
attendance: 80,000
supporting: U2
set: Even Flow, improv, Go, Once, Rearviewmirror, Why Go, Jeremy, Glorified G, Daughter/(MLK), Alive, Black, Blood, Porch/(Tearing)
notes: The crowd seems a bit more into PJ than the previous show. At one point, Ed asks, "You all OK? I saw you all working it out up here in the front, which is good. The love music comes later on in the evening." U2's 'MLK' is covered briefly as a 'Daughter' rambling. At the show's conclusion, Ed dons Bono's fly mask saying, "the fly says goodbye" and exits.
C ya!
