So why is Pearl Jam not doing Tiny Desk?

Not to be negative about having some sports journalist talk to them and fawning over buying expensive bats.

But why haven't Pearl Jam played Tiny Desk? It's a great venue for playing some Riot Act numbers. JUST A SUGGESTION.


Here is some great insights into the show with an interview with the host of it:

And here are some examples of memorable Tiny Desk shows:

    Ha.
    Left out RTJ
    I love some of the tiny desk performances.   Never thought PJ would do it, but that would be cool to watch if they did 

    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    I would rather them do KEXP.

    Because they would have to be asked first?

    Seems like they aren't traveling to promote the record other than tour dates, and they aren't playing Washington DC on the tour.

    Right, they haven't been here in 16 years. So, a DC date would be a nice start. Tiny Desk can come later.

    3 days between Philly and Baltimore if they were gonna do it

    It'd be an awesome Tiny Desk if/ when the band does it

    Would love to hear a stripped down Setting Sun for something like this
    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)
