Instead of Eddie swinging from the scaffolding and crowd surfing, the band played their first four or five songs seated, with the lights down low. Pearl Jam started their set in stark contrast to the Lollapalooza festivals of the 90’s. [See photos and read an interview with Josh here.) Josh closed out his set with a cover of ‘Sometimes’ by Canadian Daniel Lanois which was very well received by the audience. Later Josh played a cover of the Ramones ‘Teenage Lobotomy’ before performing his new hit single ‘Offend’. He donned his bass and started live looping some beats it was an upbeat-sounding song for a very serious subject. Josh introduced his next song ‘One Voice’ which he recently recorded for a reproductive rights initiative. Josh started off his set with his single ‘The Night Won’t Scare Me’, an alt-rock song that he wrote at the height of the pandemic. Opening for Pearl Jam on the tour is Josh Klinghoffer‘s (one-man) band Pluralone. The second show on the North-American leg of the tour was in Ottawa on Labour Day weekend. To much relief, and adulation, the long-awaited tour is back on. At the beginning of the pandemic in 2020, Pearl Jam was an early victim, one of the first bands forced to cancel a world tour that was to be in support of their then-recently-released album Gigaton.
