Pearl Jam 30 for 30

No, there isn’t a 30 for 30 doc being made about the band. But looking to create a list of the 30 most important moments throughout their 30 year history to release on the Live on 4 Legs social media pages during the anniversary next week. Anything from singular performances to full show experiences, TV appearances or moments that changed the course of the band’s history 

chime in with your favorites, think outside the box if you have to and as always, be respectful of others opinions.
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)

    Bushleaguer reaction for sure.  There were "walkouts" reported at earlier shows too.  A low point for sure. 

    I would place the Official Bootleg Program very high on the list.  Very high.

    This shows the point. Wasn't this exercise already done for PJ20 Movie?  Lol.    I guess if you think there's some seminal moment in the last 10, you can add a couple, but as with most bands, their seminal moments probably happened in that first 20 years.  Other than HoF Induction, I can't really think of a moment that would replace the numerous ones highlighted by that endeavor that changed the course of the band's history.

    Just repost PJ20 movie with a postscript that notes when they were officially added to the HoF.
    Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

    Still being together is such an achievement.  And to pull a fantastic lp out after almost 30 years together is phenomenal
