Photos of @pearljam at @thegarden, with my film for “Setting Sun,” Sep 4 2024. The circle was a thematic thread through all of the Dark Matter tour visuals, with the “Setting Sun” finale bringing elements from other parts of the show together to close the circle. NYC was (and always will be) a second home to me, so it was extra special to bring this show to Madison Square Garden and have it perfectly framed by the building’s iconic circle looming over and reaching down towards our cosmic scenery, like the “Close Encounters” UFO.
As a personal aside: By design the show’s visuals have no hard cuts at all, and very few moments where the video is rhythmic or meant to hit at exact beats in a song. One of the few occasions is in “Setting Sun,” when the sun that has been slowly zooming out in one very long shot suddenly bursts open exactly on the downbeat into the guitar solo. This was a clever bit of visual design to pull off, as like everything else in the show the transition is triggered live by @kkpearl66’s manual lighting cues. It worked out so well that it became one of @eddievedder’s favorite visual moments, and each night it filled me with pride to watch him always turn around to watch the screen in awe for that moment. You can see it if you zoom in on the close-ups in slides 9 and 10. 🖤
I still have a bunch of photos to go through from last year’s PJ tour, I’ll drop them here as I get to them.

I was just in the car and this part of Setting Sun kicked in..I turned up the volume and goosebumps overwhelmed my entire body. This song is so powerful..inject it into my veins. I would love to see this song return to its glory in the closing spot like this photo in Vegas, but ill take what i can get. I need to hear it again. ❤️

I’ll stand by Vegas 1 being the best version followed by Seattle 1 in the two spot.

Amen
I would love for this song to end shows again. While I think a natural spot in the setlist is immediately after Ed’s solo song in the encore, it also has a really special feel after Baba or Rockinh turning the lights back out quickly to let people know there’s one more worth waiting for.0 -

Me too. Setting Sun is the perfect song to end a show.0 -
Sign my petition to have "Setting Sun" close all official PJ tour shows.

*********The Issue
2024 saw the release of Pearl Jam's 12th studio album, "Dark Matter".
The unquestioned highlight of the album's 11 tracks is the heartbreaking, yet hopeful, closer, "Setting Sun", which has already taken place as an all-time track in the band's catalog for quite a few of its fans.
The band's 2024 live tour in support of "Dark Matter" saw "Setting Sun" close out shows on numerous occasions, replacing long-standing finales such as "Yellow Ledbetter", "Indifference", and Neil Young's "Rockin' In The Free World", amongst others.
This petition hereby strongly advises (because let's be honest, no one TELLS Pearl Jam what to do) that "Setting Sun" be the final song at all official Pearl Jam tour shows, with the option to close one-off appearances (festivals, TV shows, webcasts, etc.) up to the band.
In the event of a multi-night stand at a location, the song must be played to close at least 50% of the shows at said location.
May your days be long, 'til kingdom come.
