Episode 371: Oklahoma City, OK - 11/16/2013

A new year, a new album and a new tour, 2013 was a big one for Pearl Jam. Riding high off of brand new album Lightning Bolt, the band took to North America for 25 shows in the fall of that year debuting brand new songs, bringing back long lost ones and revitalizing fan favorites. As they made their way across the country, they trekked to places where they hadn't been to in a handful of years. One of those places happened to be Oklahoma City. Now the Seattle natives and massive basketball fans went into the Thunderdome with a bit of a chip on their shoulder having lost their beloved Supersonics to them five years earlier. A big portion of this show features Ed and Jeff airing their grievances over the fall out of the move and sale, and even tossed in a not so subtle performance of the Backspacer track that shares the name with the former Seattle franchise. We'll go a little bit further into the story of how this sale and move all came to be, as well as how the Sonics made a cultural impact on the game of basketball that tied into both NBA Jam and the Singles film. Come for the Sonics talk and stay for the rest of the performances as we'll break down a marathon 31-song setlist featuring plenty of tracks off the new album at the time, as well as a few unexpected moments thrown in!
