    Episode 364: Auburn Hills, MI - 5/22/2006
    Apr 16 2026
    2006 was a massive tour year for Pearl Jam. With their Self Titled, or Avocado, record released, they set forth to travel the world on four big legs. Two legs of North America, a European and Australian leg took from May until early December to finish up. They starting doing more media again, they started doing festivals for the first time in six years, and the setlists were unforgettable. This episode looks into their Auburn Hills show from the May leg. Sonically, this is considered one of the band's best tour runs. We'll spend time talking about how the big powerful guitar sounds from the record made an impact when transitioned live. Catch us talking about the original Severed Hand intro, Marker In The Sand aging gracefully, the background of Army Reserve and the double neck guitar usage on Inside Job as we breakdown all of the Avocado songs in their prime. Not only that, but we'll dig deep into depths of conversation stemming from the 2006 rendition of Garden and how that song's evolution is similar to human growth. If you ever wanted to know what kind of humans Pearl Jam songs would be if Gepetto turned them real, this is probably the episode for you... but also probably not!

    Episode 363: Kitchener, ONT, CAN - 9/11/2005
    Apr 10 2026
    Without an album to tour for, 2005 was an adventurous year for Pearl Jam taking them to places they’d never been before, and some they haven’t been to since. It was their first time venturing coast to coast to tour the entirety of Canada and the first visit and experience down to South America playing for some of their most passionate fans. This week’s episode in the Chronology takes us to Kitchener, one of the small towns in Canada that was only played on this tour. There is something special about when Pearl Jam plays a smaller city and venue, they feel very comfortable playing for these crowds in a more intimate setting. As Ed would mention in this show, it felt like playing in a small bar. So when the crowd is invested in that kind of environment, you feel the power of every voice in that arena. Songs like Animal, Jeremy, Even Flow and Small Town make this crowd feel like there's 50,000 in the room instead of 7,000. We'll also talk about a red hot start to this show, more political discourse at the time that can be relatable today, and a conversation about a cult classic movie from the era.

    Episode 362: Boston, MA - 9/29/2004
    Apr 2 2026
    2004 was an important Presidential election year following all of the political storylines that took place on the prior year’s tour. Sprouting from multiple artists’ displeasure with the Iraq War and other important issues that Americans faced, the Vote For Change tour was created and ran through early October leading up to the election. It featured headlining acts such Bruce Springsteen, R.E.M., Dave Matthews Band, The Chicks and more alongside Pearl Jam. Every location played was a city in a key swing state such as Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Florida, North Carolina and Missouri. Prior to those shows, the band played two warm up shows in Boston to prepare them for the run. This night in Boston that we'll cover in this episode features a handful of songs that you would never see come anywhere near a Pearl Jam show nowadays. Shows in 2004 included a lot of cover songs from the political spectrum that addressed the climate of the country at that point in time, songs like American In Me by Avengers, Lion's Share from The Germs and X's classic The New World. This show also features two songs from the early 90's returning to the stage for the first time in ten years - Alone and a cover of The Beatles I've Got A Feeling. Our discussions in this episode will stem from what was happening in America that time and why it was important for them to do this tour, how the death of Johnny Ramone shortly before this tour effected the band and the awkward setlist structure that may have some elements that the band can implement today. We'll also discuss our successful EB fundraiser and the Matter Of Time documentary.
