Pearl Jam
O2 Arena
London, UK
Show Two
July 17, 2018
Set List
Band Onstage: 8:24
Band Offstage: 11:21
Walk On Music: Metamorphosis #2-Phillip Glass
01. Oceans
02. Nothing As It Seems
(“Here we go…”)
03. Go
04. Corduroy
05. Save You
06. Do The Evolution
08. In Hiding
09. I Am Mine
10. Green Disease
(Ed notes that they are taking some requests tonight. The long time monitor tech is giving Ed a fresh vocal mic when Ed decides to introduce the normally reserved tech to the audience. Ed describes him as being a local boy. Asking Peter the tech where he is from Peter replies Cornwall. Ed can’t believe he is from there because Pearl Jam don’t pay him nearly enough to live there. He asks the audience to cheer for Peter from Cornwall and says that they do give him occasional raises. Peter manages to escape the bright, hot lights with the worn out mic and Ed gets the next song going)
11. Even Flow
(Let’s hear how loud you can get for Mr. Mike McCready on the guitar. Ed says he is glad to see that Baby Trump was outside. He also comments that they saw stories saying that if you were traveling abroad as an American that there going to be protests and if protesters find out you are American you might get hurt. “We have never found and neither has our crew any sort of animosity directed towards us.” He says in a weird way that Trump is bringing people together because they are joining together in protest. He goes onto read some of his favorite signs he saw during the protests. “Perhaps the best was ‘a girl’s place is in the resistance’, so women of the world, take over)
12. Daughter/It's OK-(Cole)-tag 3:14
(Matt and his wife April were the first of the band to have children and Ed says we have all learned so much from them. He praises Matt’s daughter Josie for being such a trooper on the whole tour and is sure she is ready to get back to her friends but he has loved having her around. This next song is for the great Cameron family)
13. You Are
14. Satan’s Bed
15. Can’t Deny Me
(Ed says “The people have spoken, and they said (sotto voce) “Sweet Lew,” no, "Let Stone sing!" So, ladies and gentlemen, Stone Gossard. Stone thanks Ed and says, I really want to thank Ed for leading this band for all these years. Now it is my turn to sing (this is close but not 100%).
16. Mankind
Towards the end the song falls apart and Stone gives up. “This is probably why Ed doesn’t let me sing..) Eventually the crowd starts chanting “Let Jeff sing.” Jeff seems interested but Ed says “Jeff won’t be singing tonight.” Jeff pipes up, “I have a sore throat!” Ed says “that is a dig at me isn’t you fucker?” (with a laugh). “Look, Matt has released his own records, Mike can sing. If I let you hear these guys sing then I am out of a job. It is all I have…”)
17. Whipping
18. Lukin
19. Rearviewmirror
(Because of the press of the crowd Ed asks Kille to turn up the lights so he can see and asks the band to slow down. The band slows and gets quiet. EV implores the audience to take three steps back on the count of three. For me it would be a beautiful thing and for you. He counts it off and the audience does as he requests. When things are calm the band finishes the song at full speed and volume)
Encore Break One
(Ed says the next song is by someone who was a friend of the band that they lost recently. We seem to be losing a lot…. well, that is life I guess. I think of this song as political as well. He talks for a bit about life and loss and says Jeff heard a story about a women who came to the first few shows but for health reasons didn’t think she would be able to see anymore. The good news is she is here tonight. Andrea Oaks.)
20. I Won't Back Down-(Lynne, Petty)-Ed solo vocal and electric guitar
21. Fatal (full band)
24. Mind Your Manners
(Ed wants to acknowledge a couple of birthdays. One is the bands chef, Sam, who is brought on stage and the other is Stone Gossard who is having a birthday shortly after the tour. Ed gets the audience to sing them Happy Birthday and the cake is mashed into Stone and Sam. Stone is temporarily blinded and struggles a bit. Ed has to help him wipe cake off. Ed tells us, “There were two candles and one went into his left eye and the other went into his right eye, can you carry on Stone? Getting old is a bitch! This song is about sharing wine and cake)
26. Crazy Mary-(Williams)Paint It Black-(Jagger/Richards) instrumental tag in jam approx. 30 seconds
(Mike comes over to Boom so they can solo together. Stone goes to Jeff’s side where it looks like Jeff asks Stone about his eyes)
27. Porch
Encore Break Two
(Ed reminisces about playing the club Borderline and other places in the early days. “We just gotta play one song to the back.)
28. Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town-(played to audience behind the stage)
29. Wasted Reprise
(Ed talks about how hard Matt Cameron works and says the hardest working people are these folks down in the front. He says the band has been together for a long time and we love each other and are brothers. And our crew are brothers and sisters. Give them a hand, they have been with us for 20 plus years. But really it is you (the audience) who have supported us and given us all of these years. Thank you)
30. Alive
31. Baba O’Riley-(Townshend)
32. Yellow Ledbetter
(After the goodbyes and the rest of the band has left the stage Ed has Rob Skinner, the band photographer, take a picture of him in front of the audience holding bottles of wine and standing on his monitors. Although the band had left minutes ago they come back to play one more song.)
33. All Along The Watchtower-(Dylan)

02. Nothing As It Seems
(“Here we go…”)
03. Go
04. Corduroy
05. Save You
06. Do The Evolution
(Asks for lights to come up so he can see everybody. Points to sections of the audience and drinks to them. He singles out a guy with a beard and a tank top. Ed asks the crowd to be careful because there is no middle barricade.
This has been weighing on my mind for the last three weeks. I just want to offer my deepest apology to all of you, and thank you guys, the band and crew. The energy you gave me helped with the recovery. I look forward to paying it back all night so in the immortal words of Marvin Gaye, “Let’s Get It On”.)

That said Oceans had me completing Ten tonight which is so cool to think about.
I want to say a HUGE thank you to this band and all they give us. It's been a fun tour and they've pulled off great performances and surprises in each of the four shows I saw. I hope they don't get disheartened by the seemingly increasing number of people on these boards that complain when they play the hits or a setlists isn't above 30 songs.
I saw them play 19 songs in Milan with 90% hits. It was my 12th show and my face was beaming the entire time. If you're rolling your eyes every time Mind Your Manners (great song!) comes on maybe you need to think twice about why you're spending hundreds of dollars on tickets. If you're not enjoying the core experience, indeed the core of what Pearl Jam is, what's the point?
Stop setlist chasing, take a few years off and come back raring to hear Corduroy again.
Rant over.

Such a beautiful night! Well worth the trip back from Denver.

this song is meant to be called i got shit,itshould be called i got shit tickets-hartford 06 -
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
Really... this is a sad answer.
I stood with some great people. I have learned to avoid anybody who is super tall, super drunk or just seem to be a troublemaker. As a woman I try to stand with other women and friendly gentlemen and the great people around me made this show something special. When everyone is there for the music, it feels special. Only good energy around!
The band sounded fantastic and they played for 3 hours as it was their last show this Euro tour. Eddie was in great shape and amused us with his lovely sense of humor again and again.
They ended with Yellow Ledbetter and people started walking out after that, but then PJ changed their minds and ran back on stage for an extra song and everyone rushed back towards the stage ... lol. This was a night that I didn’t want to end.
PJ in Stockholm, Sweden, 7th July 2012. EV solo in London, 31st July 2012. PJ in Stockholm 28th of June 2014. PJ in Milton Keynes UK, 11th of July 2014, Eddie solo in London 6th of June 2017. PJ London 18th of June, 2018, and 17th of July, 2018.
At least all of you were there to represent those of us who could not be there.
Love the setlist. Would have loved to have seen Fatal and I won't back down....
Sitting up in the rafters we really related to In Hiding. I personally am all in for Pearl Jam being a political band and welcomed the protest songs and Ed’s ramblings about Trump. The world needs this sort of musical social commentary from Rock (Rap can’t do it all on its own). It’s always been in the fabric of Rock so glad PJ are keeping it alive. Green Disease was as incredible and as unexpected to hear as Ed using the C-word! And he gave my home town Southend a shout out (the gig at the Esplanade that I missed and have also been kicking myself for years)!
From up in the gods we could see the mosh pit in the center was getting pretty vicious and the pressure it must have been putting on the front. Looked like Ten Club was getting squished- but then Ed did what Ed does and the ‘take three steps back’ thing happened and it made my wife cry. Amazing to see that many people go from bouncing and pushing and shoving to respectfully moving as one. Beautiful stuff.
You Are sounded fucking badarse, loved getting Whipping and Satan’s Bed. RVM has been standout this tour and it was on point again. Fatal. I mean come on! Fatal AND Around The Bend!!! The setlist was just packed full of goodness. I think we should count Watchtower as a third encore as I was convinced it was over after Yellow L (as was a large part of the crowd, I’d say about half had left lol) such a great end to the Euro Tour. See you in a couple of years for the Euro Cup...Ed, I’m taking that as a promise!

When oceans and nais were played it was on!!. The breakdown in rvw is arguably their finest moment
The way they jam is incredable. We were spoilt with the setlist. 2 hours sleep is not good. Ah well
