#PEARL JAM BOOTLEGS SEATTLE 18 FULL#

Why theyвЂ™re notable: Yes, this is three shows instead of one but itвЂ™s tough to separate these shows from one another because all three were equally excellent. Take a listen to the early versions of the bandвЂ™s classic cuts off вЂњTen.вЂќ At the time the band was known as Mookie Blaylock. Why itвЂ™s notable:В This is Pearl JamвЂ™s first public performance so itвЂ™s notable for that reason alone. RELATED: From the vault: Pearl Jam at Benaroya HallВ | Pearl Jam in top form at the Gorge It also marked the debut of вЂњMan of the Hour,вЂќ which was written for Tim BurtonвЂ™s вЂњBig Fish.вЂќ A few years later the concert, which was a benefit for Youth Cares, was released as a live album and the vinyl version of that record, which was limited to a run of 2,000, is a highly coveted Pearl Jam collectible (it fetches up to $1,000 on eBay!). The setlist put the spotlight on several songs off the bandвЂ™s double-album вЂњLost Dogs,вЂќ which is a record of b-sides and unreleased material so there was quite a bit of fan service happening with rarities getting setlist placements. Of course it wasnвЂ™t an all acoustic affair since most of the instruments were plugged in, but itвЂ™s the thought that counts.

The show was Pearl JamвЂ™s first full вЂњunpluggedвЂќ concert since taping MTVвЂ™s вЂњUnpluggedвЂќ in the 90s. Why itвЂ™s notable: Put SeattleвЂ™s biggest band in the cityвЂ™s best-sounding room and a spectacular show happens. Also, six songs from this show were used for the bandвЂ™s live DVD вЂњTouring Band 2000.вЂќ ItвЂ™s not the best version of вЂњAliveвЂќ but it was an emotional moment for anyone who knew the story behind the performance. To recap just in case you donвЂ™t know about that significant moment in Pearl Jam history, nine people were trampled to death at the Roskilde fest during Pearl JamвЂ™s set when the crowd rushed to the stage, which reportedly happened during вЂњAlive.вЂќ This show marked the end of the North American leg of the bandвЂ™s 2000 tour and was the first time the band performed вЂњAliveвЂќ since the tragedy in Denmark. Why itвЂ™s notable: If you watched Cameron CroweвЂ™s вЂњPearl Jam 20вЂќ film then you know about the tragedy at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark. So before you head over to KeyArena tonight to see Pearl JamвЂ™s 51st Seattle concert in 22 years, take a trip down memory lane with 10 of the bandвЂ™s most notable Seattle concerts.

Instead, IвЂ™d like to celebrate the return of Pearl Jam to Seattle by taking a look at some of the bandвЂ™s past concerts in greater Seattle area (which for these purposes includes the Gorge).

IвЂ™ve written about the bandвЂ™s absence from Seattle in the past so I wonвЂ™t go into detail about that here. Or, more than four years and two months if you donвЂ™t want to be that specific. So exactly how long has it been since Pearl Jam has played a concert in Seattle? ItвЂ™s been 1,536 days. RELATED: Parting Ways: Has Pearl Jam forgotten about Seattle? In fact, when the band hits the stage tonight around 8:30 it will end the longest period of time between hometown shows for Pearl Jam. ItвЂ™s been a while since Seattle has seen the guys in Pearl Jam onstage.
