Pearl Jam Show Notes 11/4/2011:

The band hit the stage with a blast of energy starting the show with Go followed by Do The Evolution. Stone sets the tone with a blistering solo. From there, the band burned through Severed Hand, Hail, Hail and Got Some. Ed addressed the crowd commenting how beautiful they are. The energy slowed for Elderly Woman, but quickly picked back up with Given to Fly and Gonna See My Friend. The crowd got involved singing on Wishlist, carrying the “ah ah oh oh” after the band wrapped up the song. The band continued selecting songs from Backspacer, breaking out Amongst the Waves, and Setting Forth seamlessly transitions into Not For You. The band has back-to-back false starts for Unthought Known and The Fixer, before the home stretch of the first set with Once and Black.

Coming back from the encore break, Ed gives thanks to those in the crowd who came out five years ago to see them. He also thanks X, the opening band, going into a story about his younger days of getting a fake ID to get into a show to see X, ending up on the rail and ending up holding a beer for the lead singer and passing it back and forth to her all night. Just Breathe opens the encore, but leading into Inside Job, Ed shares the first time he heard the song when Mike played it for him in a hotel room in São Paulo. Matt jumps ahead in the set by starting the drum beat for Why Go before the band resets and jumps into State Of Love And Trust. Being in South America, Ole makes an appearance with a lot of energy from the crowd. The first encore wraps up with Why Go and Jeremy.

Starting encore two, Ed leads the crowd in a chant and the band breaks into Last Kiss. Halfway through the song, the band gets out of sync. However, the crowd continues singing the song, allowing the band to regroup and continue playing the song. The set wraps up with Better Man, Spin the Black Circle, Alive, Baba O’Riley and Yellow Ledbetter to end the show.
