In just under two months Pearl Jam will embark on an extensive fall tour. For today's Full Show Friday selection, we take
the JamBase time machine back 21 years to the Summer of '92. The grunge-rockers were
seeing their slow-selling debut, Ten, start to break through thanks to singles such
as "Alive," "Even Flow" and "Jeremy" as well as the group's extensive touring in support
of the album. On June 8 Pearl Jam played before one of the biggest crowds in their history
up until that point at the Pinkpop Festival in The Netherlands. All these years later, the
set PJ delivered is still considered one of the best in the long-running festival's
history.
For their 12-song set at Pinkpop '92, Pearl Jam mixed most of the songs from Ten
with a batch of covers including "Pulled Up" by Talking Heads and Neil Young's "Rockin' In
The Free World." The band was on fire even as a storm enveloped the concert site. Lead
singer Eddie Vedder channels the crowd's energy throughout the set, going so far as diving
into the
audience during "Porch." So take 45 minutes out of your day to give this landmark
performance a view...
Setlist: Even Flow, Why Go (Rain), Jeremy, Deep, Alive, Black, Leash, Once, Porch, Pulled
Up (Talking Heads cover), Suggestion (Fugazi cover), Rockin' in the Free World (Neil Young
cover)
