  • Episode 340: Jones Beach - 8/24/2000
    2025/08/20
    This episode covers night two from Pearl Jam's three night stay at Jones Beach Amphitheater in 2000. This show will forever be known for a moment that's considered to be one of the most emotionally impactful in their history. The first North American leg of the Binaural tour was coming off the heels of one of the worst tragedies in music history when nine fans were killed during their set at the Roskilde Festival. Having decided to stick with the tour plans as scheduled, there was no time for the band to fully enter the grieving process, which meant that a lot of it needed to be done on the road or during their shows. One of the songs that was added to the live repertoire was from a band named Dead Moon called It's OK. This was the song that helped the band heal during this challenging time period. We'll dig into a lot of what this version meant for both the band and fans alike. Featured on the Touring Band 2000 compilation, the majority of the fanbase have been able to relive this moment over and over again throughout the years. The warmth of a song like It's OK and it's lyrics provided a message of hope. When things may appear to be at their worst, there is always a way to pick yourself up. This is how the band was feeling at the time, and this is how many of Pearl Jam fans have felt when they needed this song the most. We'll discuss this rendition being the hurdle that needed to be crossed in order to move forward and continue a life on stage post tragedy. Stay tuned for night three next week!

  • Episode 339: Jones Beach - 8/23/2000
    2025/08/13
    In August of 2000, Pearl Jam was going through a period of growth following the aftermath of the tragedy at Roskilde. As they toured throughout North America, every stop was a chance to heal from that moment. As they hit close to the end of the month, they prepared for three massive shows at Jones Beach Amphitheater located on Long Island in the shadow of New York City. There was a sense that they needed to deliver, and they exceeded every expectation. Night 1's show might not get the same praise as the two that precede it, but it was a great way to warm up this crowd and get things kicked off on the right note. In this episode, we'll spend some time breaking down some classic Binaural performances such as Nothing As It Seems, God's Dice and Sleight Of Hand while sharing our favorite order to hear the Man Trilogy and a superb Long Road open. We'll also talk about this version of Daughter which sets the tone for the legendary Daughter and It's OK tag performance the next night. This is just part one! The next two episodes will cover the remaining Jones Beach shows from 2000, so stay tuned for our breakdown of those legendary nights!

  • Episode 338: Oakland, CA - 5/12/2022
    2025/07/23
    As we sit here only mere weeks after Matt Cameron stepped down as Pearl Jam's drummer after 27 years, it's completely understandable to be a little bit anxious for what the future of this band holds. While Cameron has been a staple since taking over for Jack Irons in 1998, there were a very small handful of times that we got to witness the band perform shows without his presence. In 2022, Cameron had to pause on touring in order to deal with a positive covid test. The band had about 24 hours to scramble and plan with the knowledge that he wasn't going to be available, so in stepped three drummers to help - Josh Klinghoffer who had just joined the band a year prior and was opening the show with solo material, long time friend and bandmate of Jeff Ament's in RNDM, Richard Stuverud, and a lucky fan who was plucked out of the crowd to be involved with a once and a lifetime experience named Josh Arroyo. After the first Oakland show in 2022, we got the opportunity to interview Josh which you can listen to here: https://liveon4legs.com/podcast/pearl-jam-fan-profile-josh-arroyo/ Since that time, Josh has become a great friend to the podcast and community, and we're thankful to have him join us on this episode to discuss the departure of Matt Cameron, and also get to hear another side of the story that he didn't get to share in our original interview. He'll take us through his backstage tryout and how the Pearl Jam security team and management knew him prior to his appearance on Ledbetter. He'll also share stories of mingling with Ed at Bridge School and Ohana shows, and he'll share his opinion on who he thinks the next drummer for Pearl Jam will be. We'll also run down the setlist and talk about Rockin In The Free World opening a show for the first ever time, the origins behind Nothingman in connection with Richard Stuverud, and what to be prepared for as we move into a new chapter of Pearl Jam without Matt Cameron.

  • Matt Cameron Retirement Roundtable
    2025/07/08
    On July 7th, 2025, the news broke that Matt Cameron, Pearl Jam's drummer for the last 27 years, would be stepping down effective immediately. It was a stunning revelation to the Pearl Jam world. As a unit, this band has been at the top of their game creating seven studio albums and hundreds of memorable live shows with Cameron behind the dish. But with the band having reached their 60's now, the idea of them lasting forever was untenable. We just didn't expect it to come so soon. As we do in this podcast community during times like these, we gathered together to share all of our personal reactions to Matt Cameron leaving. You'll hear some familiar podcast voices, and a few new ones as well as we navigate through this difficult time. It was a therapeutic discussion. No speculations or predictions, just pure admiration for someone who was one of the best to ever do it. Our hope is that this can be as therapeutic for you the listener as it was for all of us, so please take a listen and feel free to share your own thoughts about what happened through any of our social media platforms.

  • Remembering Roskilde 25 Years Later - Part 2
    2025/07/01
    On June 30th, 2000, Pearl Jam headlined the Roskilde Festival in Denmark while touring Europe for their Binaural album. About an hour after they took the stage, there was a sudden surge towards the front. Multiple fans lost their footing on the muddy terrain, and some were trampled. The outcome is one of the worst tragedies in live music history as the lives of nine fans were lost. This incident permanently changed the lives of each member of Pearl Jam, and everything from that point forward about their live show changed. From heightened security, to a renewed sense of empathy and compassion, their goal was to ensure that nothing like Roskilde would ever happen at one of their shows again. They've made good on that promise. On the 25th anniversary, we look back and examine the stories and healing process that followed in the aftermath. Part two takes a look at the band's return to Copenhagen for the first time since the tragedy, how general admission at shows would slowly be reinstated over time and powerful performances of Black and Love Boat Captain played at pivotal moments where they paid tribute to the families who lost loved ones. You'll get to hear from our esteemed panel who will share their personal stories of how they reacted to the incident, and will discuss why sticking together was always the best and only option for the band. Make sure you check out the part one episode of this series if you wish to hear this story told chronologically.

  • Episode 337: Golden Gate Park - 6/24/1995
    2025/06/26
    The 1995 tour was one of the most tumultuous for Pearl Jam in their history. Their Ticketmaster boycott was in full effect, so while shows were more affordable for their audience, tickets were tougher to acquire and venues were at a premium. Eddie at this time is dealing with struggles of being in the spotlight, and instead of opting to travel with the band, he spins records in a van driving from location to location on tour. There are historic shows that happen on this run like Red Rocks and Soldier Field, but everything comes to a head when they reach San Francisco. The night before the show, Ed comes down with a case of food poisoning and needs to take a trip to the ER. After getting IV fluids, he is still completely sick when it comes show time. However, he goes out there, makes it through seven songs and then walks off the stage no longer capable of playing. This episode looks back 30 years later after the infamous incident at Golden Gate Park. As luck would have it, Neil Young happened to be there that day originally slated to make a guest appearance prior to the Mirror Ball record's release three days later. While it was certainly a huge benefit to have him on hand in a desperate time of need, the crowd paid to see Eddie. They were restless throughout the entire set having to sit through unreleased songs off a brand new record in an unfathomable heat for San Francisco. For as incredible as the band's efforts were in this moment, winning over the crowd was a fruitless task. This is a jam packed episode with a lot to talk about. We'll cover the era and how the fallout from this show just narrowly avoided a break up, we'll talk about the crowd's reactions, Eddie's struggles and some of the oddities in song selection that included not one, but TWO versions of Rockin' In The Free World! We'll also invite our good friend, Mar Vigil, on to discuss what it was like to be there on that day.
