Episode 294: Vancouver, BC - 5/4/2024

It's time to cover our first show from Pearl Jam's Dark Matter tour, which also happens to be the first show from Pearl Jam's Dark Matter tour! It all got started back in May as the band headed north of home to Vancouver to try some new ones out on the Canadian crowd. With 17 shows under our belt now, this is a good opportunity to look back and get a sense of how the new songs are being implemented within their setlists every night. The first night of the tour saw nine of the eleven album songs played, everything except Waiting For Stevie and Got To Give. Right away you can tell how hard the band had worked on these songs to make them stand out in front of their dedicated crowd. A few things we'll touch up on with the new ones is how hyper-focused they were during Scared Of Fear in comparison to the looseness of React/Respond, Why Dark Matter has yet to fully flourish, the complexities to how the intro in Upper Hand comes together and why Setting Sun has been an absolutely perfect closer so far. Those topics, plus some fun versions of other songs in their catalog such as Wash, Red Mosquito, Chloe Dancer/Crown Of Thorns and more!
