1. Pearl Jam
Pearl Jam's headlining set started emotionally when guitarist Mike McCready introduced Steve Gleason, the Washington state native who settled in New Orleans after his days with the New Orleans Saints ended. Stricken with Lou Gehrig's disease, the wheelchair-bound Gleason rolled to declare, in his computer-generated voice, "This is my hometown; this is my hometown band." Gleason's presence lingered throughout the show as McCready wore a Team Gleason T-shirt and Eddie Vedder, a wristband. Vedder later dedicated the show and 2006's "Inside Job" to Gleason and his family, and announced that the band let Gleason write the set list — which led to the inclusion of a quiet "Chloe Dancer" alongside a number of songs from the new Lightning Bolt.
Vedder was in a playful mood, asking the audience who'd been arrested in New Orleans, then added, "I should raise my hand," referring his own arrest for public drunkenness in New Orleans 20 years ago this week. He then gave out a phone number he said belonged to fellow Seattlite Macklemore, who opened for them tonight: "He'll pay your bail or give you $10 to buy some big, floppy, old man shoes."
