  • Episode 317: Washington DC - 1/14/1995
    Jan 7 2025
    There are plenty of milestone anniversaries in Pearl Jam history that we have to celebrate in 2025 - the 25th anniversary of the Binaural tour and the 20th anniversary of the 2005 Canadian leg come to mind, but one of the big anniversaries that we'll be digging into this year is the 30th anniversary of the legendary 1995 Vitalogy tour. This was a year of classic shows and moments from places like Red Rocks and Soldier Field, and in this episode we'll cover the show that kicks off a big year of touring - a Vote For Choice show in Washington DC. There are so many storylines that we have to cover in this one because of all the events that were happening in Pearl Jam's world at the time. There's the scarcity of tickets for this show where you had to send in a postcard to the Ten Club just to enter a lottery, Self Pollution Radio was broadcast a few days prior to this show happening that gave the audience a sneak peak as to how those Vitalogy songs that were all played on the Vs. tour were gonna sound polished up. This is considered to be the first show where Jack Irons is an official band member, and perhaps the biggest storyline is Neil Young's involvement and this stretch of shows ultimately leading to the recording of the Mirrorball record. This show will end with Neil joining the stage to play their first ever version of Act Of Love days after Neil played it with Crazy Horse at the Rock 'N' Roll Hall Of Fame induction. We'll talk about how important that record was for the band and how Neil's influence has stuck with the group ever since. In today's episode we're joined by Brian Horwitz from the Hallucinogenic Recipe podcast, and we'll get to talking about the circulation of this bootleg and some of the other popular 1995 bootlegs, and we'll discuss what boots were must owns once everything digitized in the 2000s.

  • Episode 316: Sydney, AUS - 11/23/2024
    Jan 1 2025
    Happy New Year to the Pearl Jam Podcast Community! 2025 is set to be another great year for the band on tour in April and May, and hopefully more will get announced at some point soon. To kick off the year, we are gonna finish our look back on 2024 by covering the highly talked about tour closer in Sydney. With a plethora of storylines leading up to the show, such as the 30th anniversary of Vitalogy's release, expectations were high for the final night on the 2024 Dark Matter tour, and as per usual, the band delivered something memorable. It was the type of show that you'd call a kitchen sink show incorporating songs that had barely been brought to the table last year such as Brain Of J, In Hiding, Tremor Christ, Save You, Dissident and Alone. But the big story from that night overpowers all of the clutch deep cuts because for the first time in ten years, the band decided to pull out Hunger Strike. It had been seven and a half years since Chris Cornell's death, a subject that Eddie Vedder has rarely addressed publicly. But there is more behind this performance than just playing a famed song from their past. We'll get into details of how Ed had seemed to open up a little more about his relationship with Chris, and how this moment in Sydney was seen from a therapeutic standpoint, having the crowd pitch in and help out in the roles meant for Cornell. A powerful moment, and one that will be remembered for decades onward. We'll also hear from our Aussie crew who helped out on our reaction episodes for the run down there, we'll hear a story about a boy who challenged Eddie to rock, paper, scissors, and we'll also share some news and changes about the podcast in effect for 2025.

    It's the last week of 2024, and in year's past the final episode of the year has been solely dedicated to our Hall Of Fame Episode Induction, but this year we're changing things up a little bit. After releasing the our Top 50 moments of Pearl Jam's 2024 Tour list on liveon4legs.com, we've taken this episode and turned it into a recap of the year. It'll feature a roundtable discussion from our annual podcast holiday party where we'll break down the top moments of the year, we'll spin some records and hear a story from a good friend who had an emotional moment of her own on this tour. We'll also officially induct five episodes into The Live On 4 Legs Hall Of Fame, which are shows with the distinction of getting a perfect ten score on our rating scale. Happy holidays everyone! Looking forward to putting together more great content in 2025!
