Live On 4 Legs: Pearl Jam Podcast8 Jun 2022

Episode 185: Augusta, ME - 9/26/1996

Let's dive into another episode in our OTOTO States Month Series! In 1996, Pearl Jam was still dealing with their Ticketmaster strike, so they found that options for venues on the east coast were limited. Big cities such as Philadelphia and Boston couldn't provide a proper place for the band to play without the usage of Ticketmaster, so they had to get creative in finding locations to play. One spot happened to be Augusta, Maine - a state they hadn't played before nor after. While it may seem as though this is just another bump on the road, something special happened in Maine's capital that the fans who were there still talk about today. Leaving his cozy vacation spot on the Mediterranean, Dennis Rodman took a flight out to the America's north most state to witness a band and a front man that meant the world to him. Rodman and Vedder had become friendly around that time. Ed was seen joining Dennis in the locker room during the Chicago Bulls 1996 Championship win, and there's a story passed around that they sporadically took a flight from Seattle to Vegas in order to go see Jane's Addiction. Rodman got to celebrate with the band on stage for the first of many times throughout the years. We'll talk about Ed's relationship with Rodman as well as the visual of Ed taking a ride on the 6'7" basketball player's shoulders during Alive. Also in this episode, we'll talk about two moments that take place during this show that weren't definitive of the 1996 era, but have been cornerstones of Pearl Jam's live set in the past decade.
