Episode 121: Honolulu, HI - 12/2/06

Hawaii has always had an important place within the history of Pearl Jam. From Ed's love of surfing to discovering and connecting with B3 organist Boom Gaspar, a lot of important moments have developed from the islands and in this episode we'll talk about a 2006 show that acted as the end of an era for one of their most important touring years. To join us on this one is former Live On 4 Legs host Matt Helbig to talk about a few of his go-to songs. This episode is gonna be all about the love for Boom who got a warm hometown welcome on this night. We'll talk about his introduction to the band and how he didn't even know who Ed was before meeting him, but fast forward into the future and Boom has been a sixth-man staple of the live act. We'll get to hear some of the classic Boom songs in this show such as Love Boat Captain, Wasted Reprise and Crazy Mary. We'll also chat about how good of a mood the band was in on this night being able to finish out a monstrous touring year on such a positive note. We get performances closely representing some Hawaiian and beach themes such as Oceans, Big Wave, Ed ukulele song You're True and a cover of Hawaii 78.
