Happy 20th Anniversary March 22nd 1995 Brisbane Australia!
image
03/22/95 – Entertainment Centre: Brisbane, Australia [130m]
attendance: 15,000
support act: The Meanies
set: Oceans, Last Exit, Corduroy, Not for You, Tremor Christ, Animal, Dissident, Go, Daughter/Improv, Deep, Jeremy, Footsteps, Rearviewmirror, Immortality, Alive, Black, Blood
enc 1: State of Love and Trust, Whipping, I Got You, Better Man/Brisbane rhyme, Porch
enc 2: Against the 70s, Sonic Reducer, Indifference
notes: The crowd in the pit area picks up the seats and they are carried to the back of the auditorium. People are packed in too tightly and Ed says, “… up here, we got a problem. We gotta clear some room. Please everyone, if you wanna do something for me, as a favor … everyone take like five steps back … now on the next song, jump up and down not forward, OK?” and PJ slams into ‘RVM.’ A full version of the Split Enz ‘I Got You’ is dedicated to “… the girl who changed her fuckin’ name to Pearl Jam.” Mike gets wild and creative during an extended ‘Porch’ jam and Ed wraps up the song by repeating “I’m happy, I hope you’re happy, too …” a couple of times (likely a David Bowie ‘Ashes to Ashes’ nod). ‘Against the 70s’ is introduced as a Mike Watt song (not played at a PJ concert before or since), with Dave Grohl joining PJ on drums and staying for a rocked out version of ‘Sonic Reducer.’ Great setlist and wonderful versions of songs.

    Seeing against the 70s live is my holy Grail. One day it will happen.

    This was a fantastic show and a great way to finish off the Australian part of the 1995 tour.

    Because jack was literally exhausted during the shows.

    Dave talks about it in his book (This is a Call) how he played one show then had to drive to all day to play the next night for PJ because they asked him. But he loved it!
