Episode 372: Milton Keynes, UK - 7/11/2014

The Chronology Series takes a stop at 2014 for this episode. It's a year full of big time Pearl Jam shows including some full album experiments, 3 hour marathons and showstopping performances. This episode covers their Milton Keynes show that ended the European run that July. This show was a quintessential performance of the era with a masterful setlist construction that didn't need to be chock full of surprises to blow people away. This show has an "it" quality that you hope for when traveling to see this band. The main set is charged up with songs that typically get played early in the night, giving it a feel of anything goes and barely stopping for air. We'll get to talking about some of the changes made from Lightning Bolt songs that we discussed in our 2013 episodes that had evolved after a year of playing them. This includes a more substantial outro on Sirens and a better placement for Let The Records Play alongside Spin The Black Circle. We'll also talk about an appearance from Pete Townshend's brother Simon for the song I Am The Answer, the connection of the early Mother Love Bone and Bad Radio songs played at this show, and an rage inducing rant during Daughter where Ed pleads to stop using tax payer money to drop bombs on children. This memorable show has been on our radar for a while, so the question heading in is how close will this get into the LO4L Hall of Fame? Will conversations about Pete Puma and children of The Beatles help push it to the top? Tune in to find out!
