Episode 122: St. Petersburg, FL - 3/29/94

We're runnin' back to Saskatoon! In this episode we head to the prairies to tackle a show in an unsuspecting Canadian location from the big 2005 tour. Joining us for a chat is author of the book This All Encompassing Trip, Jason Leung. His book touches up on what it's like for a fan to follow the band around for an entire tour and since he just dropped a brand new hardcover book, he'll join us to talk about all of his experiences in 2005 and 2006, including this Saskatoon show! So ask mentioned above, Saskatoon is not a prime concert location or vacation spot. It's located in the prairies of the Saskatchewan province, which would lead you to believe that maybe this would be a smaller crowd that they may not get the kind of reaction that you'd expect from larger Canadian cities. But as you'll hear in this show, the crowd was on fire for this one the same way a crowd in Boston, London or Sydney would be. After 15 years of the band utilizing the city as a fly over, the fans were ready to erupt and show their love. There are some great moments from this one that we can't wait for you to hear. Attempting to appease the crowd in the encore, the band takes the stage with an impromptu version of The Guess Who's Runnin' Back To Saskatoon which was played on the spot unrehearsed. There's also great versions of I Got Shit, Whipping, Daughter, Porch, Present Tense, Alive and Off He Goes jam packed into a short but very fun show!

This week's episode takes us down to Jacksonville, Florida a mere 5 years ago where the band kicked off their 2016 tour playing four dates in a state that they hadn't played four years prior, but outside of festival shows hadn't played since 2008. Joining us to help tell the stories from this show is Horizon Leg Patron Chris Everett! As the tour was happening 3 years after the initial Lightning Bolt touring leg, the band was at liberty to utilize pretty much anything in their catalog without the necessity of promoting an album. All 10 studio albums are accounted for at this show, this is including some of the more obscure in their catalog. Representing Binaural is the seldom played deep cut Rival, Army Reserve made an appearance as a dedication to veterans down in Jacksonville and Riot Act's contribution was the rarely heard song Ghost dedicated to well known super fan Dimitri. But potentially the best of the rare cuts that night has to come from a version of Of The Earth because any time that that song graces our presence live its a special moment. A booming performance in the middle of the set plopped directly after Even Flow was absolutely a highlight of this night. There's also the appearance of Glorified G which, if you're looking at the date of this show, is only 3 days prior to the Greenville show where Vs. was performed in full. The band probably knew what they were doing for Record Store Day and used the song as practice. Speaking of RSD, we also get the lethal combo of Let The Records Play and Spin The Black Circle which was also brought back in Greenville.

Happy New Year everyone! In 2020 we had a running feature series where we focused on different Pearl Jam shows around the world, but since this is the 30th anniversary of the band we've decided to pay homage to their hometown of Seattle, WA. Every month we'll dig into a different show from their catalog in chronological order performed in Seattle. This week we kick it off with potentially one of the most important shows from their inaugural year played at Mural Amphitheater in 1991. This show is notable for so many things. It's their final show they played before the official release of Ten, it's the first show that drummer Dave Abbrusezze joined up with them and it's the first performance in an outdoor venue. In this episode we'll talk a little bit about this time period and has the turbulence of going through two drummer changes within a 3 month span didn't seem to deter them from going out and playing shows. Although this might've been Dave A's debut, you would've never been able to tell by the way the band presented themselves. It's a Ten era show and maybe the unofficial kickoff of the Ten era, but it felt like the band was destined for bigger things at this point. Getting their own spotlight on a stage right in front of the Space Needle was exactly what they needed in order to grow and evolve into the superstardom that would develop in the following year.

It's difficult to say that anything in the year 2020 is really a 'best of' considering that we lived through a global pandemic, racial tensions reached a boiling point and some people still refuse to acknowledge the outcome of an election, but there were some things this year within the realm of this podcast where we were hopefully able to take all of that stuff off your mind to share some quality stories from the Pearl Jam fans who lived it. Not only that but we were able to have on ten notable guests this year, some of celebrity status and some known within the Pearl Jam universe to tell their favorite stories. Here are the guests we've had on in 2020 that you'll hear from in this episode: WWE Superstar Edge on Vs. at Greenville Music journalist Steven Hyden on Wrigley Field 2013 Dr. John Evans on Release dedication at Wrigley Variety contributor Jonathan Cohen on The Tonight Show's Pearl Jam Week Sirius Radio's Rob Bleetstein on Wrigley Field 2013 ESPN's Kenny Mayne on Benaroya Hall Black Circle Tribute Band on interacting with Eddie Vedder Not For You: Pearl Jam and the Present Tense author Ronen Givony on prepping and researching for the book Shadow's Rick & Chris Friel on attending the first show at the Off Ramp Jill Vedder on EB Research and Black Circle See you in 2021! contribute to the show - http://patreon.com/liveon4legs

It's time to play Pearl Jam Deprogrammed: Championship Edition! In this two part episode, we take six incredibly passionate fans of the band and see how they agree and disagree on their favorite songs. The way we do that is by playing a game called Deprogrammed, a podcast that collaboratively comes up with a starter kit for an artist. In this instance, we will be deciding on the Top 10 songs in Pearl Jam's catalog until we get down to selecting the song chosen as number one with a bullet. Since this is an expanded version of the podcast, we've taken songs from each of Pearl Jam's albums and grouped them together. There are 4 groups, each group contains 42-44 songs. From that selection, every member of the panel will pick their 15 favorites with the ultimate goal of creating a Top 10 in each group. If all 6 agree unanimously on a song, it automatically reaches the top 10 of its group. Anywhere from 5-3 votes will put a song in the conversation to advance to the top 10 and 2 or less votes will prevent a song from entering that conversation. Here are the album groups that we will be debating on: Group 1: Ten, Riot Act, Gigaton, Merkin Ball, 4 Lost Dog disc 1 tracks Group 2: Vs., Binaural, Avocado, Singles Soundtrack, 4 Lost Dogs disc 1 tracks Group 3: Vitalogy, Lost Dogs disc 2, Backspacer, 4 Lost Dogs disc 1 tracks Group 4: No Code, Yield, Lightning Bolt, 4 Lost Dogs disc 1 tracks Stay tuned for the next episode where we'll take the 40 selected in this show and whittle it down to the final ten! http://patreon.com/liveon4legs
