Pearl Jam 2025 Tour Reaction: Ep. 5 – Jazzfest

We’re just about half way through the tour here and last night’s show was their first in New Orleans in nine years. It was their third appearance at a Jazzfest playing in the early evening as the sun was shining. Usually festival sets are known for harboring the greatest hits, but this show had a couple of collector’s items for the followers. Tremor Christ played due to them recording the song there in 1993, Love Boat Captain got played and Danny Clinch made his way onto the stage to play the harp on Red Mosquito as he’s known to do. We also got to see the massive three headed monster of Ledbetter, Baba and Rockin to close the night, only the 5th time that these songs have all been in the same setlist together.

It’s a big episode! We hear from Mar, Alex, Brian and John and get their reaction on the songs and the environment down in the Big Easy!
