Pearl Jam Memphis, TN 10/14/14











It's taken some time, but I have finally seen Pearl Jam in all five states that border Georgia.  And in Georgia, of course.  And in Wisconsin.  Anyway, they certainly didn't disappoint.  As usual, they performed an eclectic, 30 song, set list distributed throughout their entire history.  Starting with a couple of new ones off the latest LP, Lightning Bolt, they soon dove into the older, deep tracks that give their shows the variety that keeps us coming back again and again.  Even threw in a couple of my favorites, "1/2 Full" and "Do the Evolution" and their only Grammy winning recording, "Spin the Black Circle."  During the second half of the second encore, all the house lights were illuminated and it was if the band would not leave the stage, quickly transitioning from song to song until they finally called it quits with "Yellow Ledbetter."  That tone-def guy from the Jack White show apparently followed me to this one and is heard on the video, again...
