Pearl Jam performed at the Pemberton Festival over the weekend in Canada, and Eddie Vedder improvised an anti-gun lyric during a cover of Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick In The Wall Part 2.”
Setlist:
01. Release
02. Footsteps
(what a beautiful place and what a beautiful day. Thanks for giving us the invitation. Did I mention that you look beautiful too?)
03. Daughter / Another Brick In The Wall-part 2-(Waters) {changes last lyric to “teacher leave this kids alone, Leave your fucking guns at home”}
(Ed says that in Italy when you are in a relationship that has gone wrong or ended they say you are “under the train”. You are stuck and you get out from underneath it. There are probably a few here in that situation. But if they left before they came here with you they really missed out. Who knows though who is going to sleep in your tent tonight. This song was written when one of us was under the train.”)
04. Thumbing My Way
(Ed says that before they get too raucous they want to the thank the community of Pemberton. He cites their population and reminds the festival campers to follow the “pack it out” rule and clean up after themselves. He notes that the festival will be contributing to arts programs and issuing grants to artists.)
05. Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town
06. Present Tense
07. Once
08. Mind Your Manners
09. Spin The Black Circle
10. Given To Fly
11. Dissident
(Ed laughs and says, “there is always someone out there with a crutch. There is always a crutch. HI person with crutch. This is mine (holding up bottle(?). Ha just kidding. More like a cane. He comments that when you listen to the news the world sounds like a terrible place. He continues on saying that when you get to a place like this it is so beautiful that you remember how wonderful the world is. He hopes that we can continue to evolve and stop killing each other.)
12. Do The Evolution
13. Lightning Bolt
(Ed toasts Alan Vega of the band Suicide noting he had a great long life but all good things must come to an end. He mentions a few artists that Vega influenced and that he is thinking of him. Mr. Vega passed away yesterday.
14. Dream Baby Dream-(Rev, Vega) cover of the song by Suicide
15. Wishlist
16. Corduroy
17. Even Flow
18. Of The Earth
19. Porch
Encore Break
Ed toasts the people in the VIP tents off to the side and points out the people down front have better seats. He jokes that the audience tonight smells pretty good which isn’t always the case at festivals. He dedicates the next song Margaret and Daniel. Margaret misses a lot of time with her husband helping Ed out.
20. Oceans
21. Go
22. State Of Love And Trust (Ed throws the mic to the audience but it doesn’t make it or is dropped. He gets it back to finish the song)
23. Comfortably Numb-(Gilmour, Waters) (Ed plays piano during the outro)
24. Black
25. Jeremy
(The band wants to have a Stone Gossard birthday party since he is so cool he might not have a party unless the band throws it on stage tonight. He compliments Stone as the wisdom of the band and talks about all the work Stone has done as a producer and record label owner including discovering Queens Of The Stone Age. Stone also does more for the environment than anyone. The audience sings Happy Birthday to Stone. Some of the cake ends up on Stone’s face, Ed’s face and maybe a bit in the crowd.)
26. Alive
27. Yellow Ledbetter
