Pearl Jam - Can't Help Falling in Love With U(Las Vegas '00)

October 22
MGM Grand Arena, Las Vegas


Pearl Jam celebrates the tenth anniversary of its first performance (as Mookie Blaylock) on October 22, 1990, at Seattle's Off Ramp Cafe. The band is in a nostalgic mood, with Vedder telling the story of how Stone Gossard's tape of instrumentals made its way to him via Jack Irons. Later, Pearl Jam stuns the crowd with its debut performance of Mother Love Bone's signature song "Crown of Thorns", featuring longtime producer Brendan O' Brien on keyboards. Vedder had previously hinted in a 1993 Rolling Stone interview that he had a favorite Mother Love Bone song but that he wasn't planning on telling his bandmates what it was. O' Brien sticks around to assist on "Black" and Elvis Presley's "Can't Help Falling in Love With You".

Amazing! I take it that the audio comes from the bootleg CD? Either way, I love hearing this. One of my fave shows too.

Nice one.

great show...great night

same night as yankees mets world series game 2

we went in right after clemens threw the bat at piazza....twas a great night

not to mention 45 minutes after the show i walked back into the empty arena ..went down to the floor and went up on stage ...grabbed a few guitar pics that were lying around

then i proceeded to go backstage but the band had just gotten on the bus

the few workers hanging around thought i was a roadie i guess ,becasue nobody said anything

Thanks for that memory. That was a great show to be at! I remember all the balloons and Stone's clothes very clearly.
