Pearl Jam Launches New Leg of Dark Matter World Tour
Pearl Jam kicked off a new leg of their Dark Matter world tour in Montana on Thursday night, dedicating the show to two fans who had left the hospital to attend the concert. The 26-song setlist featured a mix of old and new tracks, including the return of John Lennon’s "Gimme Some Truth" and the debut of a Beatles track, "Her Majesty," performed by frontman Eddie Vedder solo.
A Special Dedication
Before playing "Hard to Imagine," Vedder addressed the crowd, saying, "Tonight it has been brought to our attention that there are two very special men here who have been battling hard and intensely for the things that most of us take for granted." He continued, "For example, most of us didn’t have to get permission to leave the hospital to be here tonight. And I think one left the hospital to be here tonight without permission!… The band and this crowd, I ask them to send all healing energy, from every one of us to you."
Support Acts and Guest Appearances
Glen Hansard made a guest appearance on "Smile," while Lukas Nelson helped Vedder with "Just Breathe." Both returned for the closer "Rockin’ in the Free World," which was dedicated to local Democratic Senator John Tester.
Setlist
The setlist included seven songs from Dark Matter, including the title track, "React, Respond," "Scared of Fear," "Setting Sun," "Upper Hand," "Won’t Tell," and "Wreckage." The band also played a mix of old and new tracks, including "Given to Fly," "Nothing as It Seems," "Low Light," "Why Go," "Corduroy," "Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town," and "Jeremy."
