On the day that Kurt Cobain was found and announced dead, the band with heavy hearts took the stage for an emotional performance in Fairfax, VA. Today LO4L released a new episode featuring coverage of this historic show and we talk about how Kurt’s death impacted the lives of so many fans and the way that the band made decisions moving forward. Thanks go out to Roche from Jamily Matters for making a guest appearance to talk about this show being the first he attended.

Hi, I host a Pearl Jam Podcast. We go back to some of the classic shows in their history and break down the entire setlist front to back. From historic perspective, to performances, to setlist construction, to fan stories. We do our best to capture the magic that is their live act and help you relive those memories, or if you weren't there, maybe turn you on to a show you've never heard before.

Live On 4 Legs can be found on Apple Podcast, Spotify and any other major podcast platform. But please support our website and check out the episodes archived there. Oh, and the Concertpedia as well (for you Five Horizons and Two Feet Thick fans, we've picked up where they've left off)

    I was at that show. It was my first show as well. It was an amazing show. Lots of sadness that day - but also an uplifting performance.

    My first PJ show was three days later in Boston on April 11, 1994.  I met Ed, Jeff and Dave A. at their hotel after the show.  Jeff told me the names of "Immortality" and "Corduroy."  Ed chatted with us for about ten minutes.  (Sixty shows later, this remains the only time I've ever encountered anyone in the band.)  I had been in a daze for three days prior to this after hearing about Kurt, so the whole experience couldn't have come at a better time.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    Still have my ticket stub. Well worth $19.50 if you ask me.

    I was set to start at GMU a few months later.  Still remember sitting at home stunned that day.
