Pearl Jam
Big Day Out
Sydney Showgrounds
Sydney AU
Jan. 26, 2014
01. Do The Evolution
02. Mind Your Manners
03. Animal
04. Hail Hail
(Ed wishes the audience “Happy ‘Straya Day’”. He checks on the audience. He says he feels like he “needs to do this” and gestures like a ref signaling a score in footy. He talks about going to see The Cosmic Psychos and Mudhoney and says, “I won’t lie to you. I have had a few beers but I promise I won’t be violent. This next one is for the missionaries who screwed things up when they came here.)
05. Getaway
06. Corduroy
07. Lightning Bolt
(Ed says the next song is a request by Mark Richards. Ed says it is unfortunate that they “couldn’t play Newcastle but it wasn’t a big enough city for a Big Day Out but we could have had small night in.”)
08. In Hiding
(dedicated to “a new little Aussie girl, she is just five or six days old. Her name is Evie.”)
09. Even Flow (during the solo Mike jams his headstock into his speaker cabinet)
(Ed talks about being careful about taking “candy from strangers” at places like festivals. “Not all drugs are good. This is a song about what could happen.”
10. Severed Hand
(Ed had heard about a fatal shooting in Sydney which is a fairly rare event. He says he knows that Australia took steps a while ago to help prevent shootings, “Don’t ever go back.”)
11. Sirens w/ sing along outro (mike has a fire extinguisher sign taped to his 12 string acoustic guitar)
12. State Of Love And Trust
13. Unthought Known
14. Insignificance
(Ed toasts the other bands that are playing Big Day Out. He hopes his daughter got to see “The Lumineers”. He introduces the next song as one about playing records over and over.)
15. Let The Records Play
16. Spin The Black Circle
17. Rearviewmirror
Encore Break 1
(Ed says it is great to see equal numbers of men and women up front. That means it is safe. Ed says, “If I can quote your ambassador, poet laureate, ‘It’s a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll.”...”It is a long way and this is from a long time ago.”)
18. Footsteps
19. Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town
20. Chloe Dancer/Crown Of Thorns-(Mother Love Bone, A. Wood)
(Ed shows off the Australian flag can cozy that he has stretched over his wine bottle, “see? It works for wine too!” He talks about hearing the next song many years ago and didn’t know who it was by or anything about it but it sounded like a true story that happened and could be happening at any time. “If I was at a campfire on ‘Straya Day’ I imagine this song would get played.)
21. Throw Your Arms Around Me-(Archer, Falconer, Howard, Miles, Seymour, Smith, Waters)
{Ed played “Throw Your Arms” solo. no band}
22. Betterman/Save It For Later-(Charley, Cox, Morton, Steele, Wakeling)
{Ed switches guitar at outro-tuning or string break.}
23. Porch
(Mike breaks a globe with his headstock, Jeff dodges globes, Ed swings from his globe)
Encore Break 2
(“This was feeling like a show with a bunch of people, then it felt like big show, and now it feels like a bar show. And you know, bars close...Now we could play two more songs and leave, or....we don’t want to screw it up for any other bands, artists, dancers or whatever but you would think on ‘Strayla Day’ we could play a little longer so...” As Jeremy starts Ed says, “but ya gotta help me out”)
24. Jeremy
25. Black (during solo and outro the audience are singing and waving their arms back and forth causing Ed to say “wow!” and comment, “with that song we played before Andy would be all over this shit.”)
26. Alive
27. Kick Out The Jams w/ Mark Arm & Steve Turner of Mudhoney--(Davis, Kramer, Smith, Thompson, Tyner)
28. Rockin’ In The Free Wold-(Young)

random thoughts-
awesome setlist
they fucking played footsteps and spin the black circle and chloe dancer/crown of thorns
awesome crowd participation
best version of betterman
it was nice to see Eddie kiss and hug his kids during black
STBC into RVM was phenomenal and the end of black was amazing with the kids on stage taking selfies with ed. In hiding, footsteps, Chloe dancer/crown of thorns, so many highlights. Ed didn't want to leave the stage, like when you have to get dragged away from the pub!
Can't wait for the opera house!
Ed: Canberra 15-03-11 - Sydney 19-03-11
So many highlights - Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns, In Hiding, Mark and Steve on Kick Out The Jams, Mike McFuckinCready on everything!
A couple of Ed-isms that I remember - at the start of Severed Hand: "this is about taking candy from strangers, at a festival. Remember, if you do smoke anything today please make sure it has been approved by Snoop Lion first!" Ed also fucked up the intro to Insignificance, then sang "all in all, it's all my fault", and I'm pretty sure he sang "colours on the street, yeah green and gold" in RITFW.
Also, Ed introduced Mike, Matt and Stone after Even Flow. The crowd then started chanting "Jeff, Jeff, Jeff" and Ed the toasted him with "I'll drink to that! He's the one that told Stone that was a good song. He said 'if I get the bass line we'll make it a great song!'" Plenty of love for Jeff last night.
Jeff copped one of the light globes smack in the side of the face during Porch. I thought Mike was going to smash one, he hit it so hard with his headstock.
I'm sure there will plenty more things that I remember later on but for now I'm still in that warm post-PJ show glow
(Jeff Tweedy, Sydney 2007)
“Put yer good money on the sunrise”
(Tim Rogers)
They crowd was awesome with the sing alongs and band loved it. Lots and smiling and head shaking in disbelief at the intensity of the whole crowd. Lots of tomfoolery from Ed as well.
I'm usually with friends for PJ gigs but last night I was surrounded by Pearl Jam virgins and it was great watching them lose their shit when they heard their favourite songs for the first time live.
I only bought my camera yesterday too, so I am still getting used to it. That wasn't me singing in the background either, I didn't sing when I was videoing, I spared you all

F***en amazing best night. Highlights Throw your arms around me - Eddie solo, Footsteps, Chloe/Crown, Black, SOLAT, getaway, Let records play/Spin the Black/Rvm. Actually every song was a highlight the whole band was in the best spirits they had so much fun and the audience was great so much energy without being pushed around I was about 12-15 rows from the front on Stone's side. Mark Richards did an awesome setlist. Thank you Mark.
So glad I was there to share in this fantastic night. I was apprehensive about going to BDO but I had the best time at all the bands I saw, especially PJ.
Thank you so much PJ and all the people at the BDO that made the event so memorable.

Sirens as a plea against the bullshit of shootings, or a compliment to the relative rarity of them in Australia.
Better Man. A lot of passion in Ed's vocal performance in this song, especially towards the end.
I don't want to dismiss what I think was Ed's intention back when the song was written but it seemed to take on new meaning for me last night. Especially at one moment but in general after hearing the song last night, I was inspired to be the best possible father I could be so my baby can have the opportunity to grow up idolising me. Definitely more than 'just' a band.
Several key moments in addition to the above. In Hiding was the perfect song at the perfect time. Spin the Black felt right in the moment and the crowd got right into it. Small Town - Ed inviting the crowd to lift. Jeremy - invited us to lift further to support what was about to become an amazing encore.
I could write a lot about yesterday. This gig was spectacular.
Ed had tears in his eyes listening to the crowd in betterman. Saying 'we don't deserve it'
Then Ed wanted us to sing the usual part in elderly woman. Before he could ask the crowd were singing it over and over. Reminded me of a South American boot. The crowd just taking over.
He said we were the loudest crowd on the tour.
Thank you pearl jam.

To think some people missed this show because they didn't want to see Pearl Jam at a Big Day Out, well Pearl Jam last night annihilated any reason they had for not going and I am sure they are regretting that this morning.
It's funny The Hives kept announcing that they were in the middle of "the best concert in the history of The Hives", well I hope they stuck around after their set because Pearl Jam put on one of the best concerts of all time.
I think this quote goes close to why last night was so amazing, the crowd took over this show, ripped the show straight from the hand of the band. The amount of times the crowd was just over powering the singing of Eddie, the amount of times the crowd was adding to a song The amount of times the crowd was making the song theirs was just unbelievable, even on rarer songs the crowd was just so powerful and the band felt it.
Betterman, Small Town, Black, Jeremy all became the crowds songs and the version of betterman has to be heard to be believed.
I did like that Ed thanked all the bands that he could list, except Beady Eye, who were the single worst performance I saw all day.
