Pearl Jam @ East Rutherford 6.3.06

It's been almost a year since I had the chance to see Pearl Jam play live though this particular show followed on the heels of their first major release since 2002's Riot Act. Hailed by Rolling Stone by their greatest album in 10 years, the self-titled LP certainly lives up to the hype bestowed upon it by critics and fans alike. It was fitting then that the set list was comprised of mostly the new album and their debut album "Ten" demonstrating just how much Pearl Jam has come full circle from their angst-ridden seattle roots to the edgy and politically laced incarnation they have become today.
The set list is as follows: (taken from the ten club website)

Set 1 Severed Hand, Corduroy, World Wide Suicide, Hail Hail, Animal, Love Boat Captain, In Hiding, Even Flow, I Am Mine, Whipping, Gone, Comatose, State Of Love And Trust, Rats, Garden, Inside Job, Porch

Encore 1 Army Reserve, Hard To Imagine, Last Kiss, Black, Crazy Mary, Last Exit

Encore 2 Wasted Reprise, Life Wasted, Lukin, Leash, Don't Gimme No Lip, Why Go, Leaving Here, Alive, Yellow Ledbetter

Pre-Opener Surrender

Accompanying Support Act It Makes No Difference


Encore 2 was absolutely amazing with the show ending on a high note with a blistering rendition of "Alive" and Mike Mcready saying goodbye with "Yellow Ledbetter" Even Stone Gossard got in the mix by taking lead vocals on "Don't Gimme No Lip".
This was the last show of Pearl Jam's first leg. Next, rich and I will be travelling to seattle to see back to back shows at the Gorge. Stay tuned!!
