Pearl Jam 2025 Tour Reaction: Ep. 8 – Raleigh Night 1

After two massive shows in Nashville, did you think it would be possible for Pearl Jam to top what happened there to follow up in Raleigh? We should all know this by now, they will always one up themselves when afforded the opportunity, and tonight’s show proved that there are tons more tricks up this band’s sleeve. On a night dedicated to Mothers on Mother’s Day, this mother fucking crowd was red hot! Great stories from songs like Light Years getting to hear them talk about their former crew member Skully, Hold On dedicated to our father and son friends Richie and Dermot, a double dose of hand songs, a powerful Daughter speech, Smile, Satan’s Bed and everything else across the board. What a night to remember after having to cancel nine years ago.

We’re joined by Patrick, Steve, Alex, Tanya, Tasker and Travis out on site as everyone seemingly had their minds blown for this one. Save some for Tuesday! Hope to see you there!
