Introduction Music

I just saw Pearl Jam in London and Padova, and realised how much I love the Philip Glass "Metamorphasis #2" introduction that they use this tour. It got me thinking  though... what other introduction music have they used over the years? I can think of a couple, but thought I'd employ the Forum's help to come up with a list! :)

    It is random. They did it in Quebec 2016 and it really set the mood.

    in 2000, I believe they used the instrumental version of Baba O'Reilly from the Lifehouse Elements boxset from Pete Townshend.


    Edit: it might have been the symphonic version that they used as opening music.

    I think they've used a Tom Waits song at some point during the past few years. Or maybe that was an Ed solo show?
