Pearl Jam 2024 Tour Reaction: Ep. 19 – Missoula

We’re officially back up! After a European tour to forget, tonight began a fresh start in the home state of Jeff Ament, Montana! As many of the previous Missoula shows we’ve seen, this was used as a platform for Montanans to go out and vote for incumbent Democratic Senator Jon Tester, but the platform also belonged to the music, the crowd and the atmosphere. Jeff got very emotional speaking to his people and talking about his family, and we’ll dig into that aspect of the show in the episode.

A big part of this show came in the middle of the main set where Ed dedicated Hard To Imagine to two people who made the show coming from the hospital. One of the dedications happens to be something I was involved in making happen, so it meant a lot to see it take place. We’ll talk about that, Won’t Tell, Lukas Nelson and Glen Hansard and much more!

Joining us via recording in this episode is Amy Wynn and Mar Vigil! They had so much to say about being there and experiencing the show that we were able to get 37 minutes worth of conversation that happens at the end of the episode!
