Candlebox gives a shout out to Pearl Jam last night

I saw Candlebox last night and they went through a little spiel where they were talking about where they came from. For the most part, Kevin Martin was just mentioning Mudhoney, Mother Love Bone, Green River, Nirvana, Soundgarden, and a couple others that are escaping me at the moment. He then screamed PEARL JAM! To which their little breakdown in the background turned into the Even Flow bridge just before the final chorus.

They wrapped up the Seattle sound with what he said was his favorite, Alice in Chains followed by a 30-45 second snippet of Would.

Shortly after that they went through about a verse and chorus from bands that influenced them including Immigrant Song, Crazy Train, and Highway to Hell.

Overall a great show from a favorite band of mine that most forget. But I also began to wonder, aside from the Krusen connection, was there ever a Pearl Jam/Candlebox relationship back in the day? At the very least, it was cool to see them give a shout out and pay some respects to the other bands.

    i saw them back in the summer and they didn't do the compilation of artists that inspired them but he did say that Far Behind was written about Andy Wood. i had never thought of it being about that prior to that night but lyrically it certainly makes sense.
    it's a fragile thing, this life we lead.

    I have seem them a few times. Kevin Martin has an amazing voice. I am glad they are back together, making music. I hope it lasts. If you haven't heard of:

    1. Kevin Martin and the Hiwatts
    or
    2. The Gracious Few

    you should definitely give them a quick search on Itunes or whatever to see what you think


    It is really cool that they mentioned Pearl Jam at the show.

    Saw them open up for Rush in Providence right after that first album broke. They were very good that night, crowd was on fire for them.

    That's awesome!! I always loved Candlebox...could never make it to a show for some reason or another. Hopefully next time they come around I don't miss out!

    Totally cool to learn that Far Behind was about Andy Wood...I had no idea!

    Awesome, I've never heard that, and you're right. It does make sense now that I think about it.

    Great stuff for sure! I missed the Gracious Few tour, but love the album. Hope to catch them if there's a next time around. Also, ditto about his voice. The man can sing his ass off. On top of that he just has a certain charisma about him that gives the show some energy. It's no schtick either. You can tell they enjoy themselves up there.

    Candlebox did the same thing when I saw them, then went into a cover of rooster. Check out the Gracious Few, they only put out 1 album but it was by far the best rock album I heard in 2010. I got to meet Kevin Martin when I saw him with Gracious few, very nice guy
