Pearl Jam 2024 Tour Reaction: Ep. 15 – Barcelona Night 1

After 11 days of illness and uncertainty since performing in Manchester, Pearl Jam powered back to prove their resilience for a great show in Barcelona. It was a show that had a great mix of the lovable hits, the new Dark Matter songs, the deep cut favorites and the band’s energy radiating throughout a passionate crowd in Spain.

It felt like Ed came back as healthy as he could and basked in the support of this crowd knowing what he had gone through. Under the Wasted Reprise intro, Ed gets emotional about his time dealing with illness that we’ll touch up on in great detail here. We’ll also hear from our good friends kind enough to send us their thoughts after attending the show. We’ll hear from Eric Stevenson Gonzales, Lori Jernberg and friends, Brad Arundale, Lisa O’Connor and Carrie Klingman and Sonia Weber. See you back for night 2 on Monday!
