Pearl Jam makes concert feel like party of pals

By Tim Dyke
Special to The Advertiser

Quick: What's the best concert you've ever seen? If the cavernous Blaisdell Arena seems an unlikely setting for a musical event that would qualify as someone's "best show ever," then you probably didn't see Pearl Jam last night.
Most concerts are just concerts. Some concerts become parties. As front man and lead singer Eddie Vedder said good night after more than three hours of unchained rock 'n' roll melody, the nearly sold-out arena crowd seemed inclined to believe him when he thanked them breathlessly and added, "You are all my friends."

If those words came out of the mouth of any other singer, they would exemplify the cliched gratitude of the stereotypical, bombastic rock star. Vedder, however, backed up his words with his music. From 8 p.m. to 12:30 a.m., Pearl Jam and opening act Kings of Leon transformed a rock concert into a family gathering.

Opening with "Ocean" from their first album, Vedder and Pearl Jam made it clear that they would be playing songs from their entire catalog. When some bands with long careers mix old tunes with new, audiences become restless as overplayed hits lose their freshness and as new compositions fail to reach the standards set by the classics. Pearl Jam made a case for itself as perpetually inspired.

First, album standards like "Black" and "Jeremy" were made vital by the invigorating attack of guitarist Mike McCready, and the ecstatic, controlled chaos provided by drummer Matt Cameron and bass player Stone Gossard.

Hard-core fans know these songs so well that they sing along with every word. Such accompaniment could have devolved into the distraction of worshipful adulation, but McCready and the rhythm section teased original noise from familiar riffs. The audience was presented with a rare opportunity to participate simultaneously in the ritual of the familiar and the shock of the new.

As bands perform on stops along multicity tours, it's typical to hear lead singers shout out to the home crowd in some generic, we-love-you-Detroit kind of way. When Vedder expresses his love for Hawai'i, however, it's easy to accept him as sincere. Backed by Waimanalo resident and keyboard player Kenneth "Boom" Gaspar, and playing to friends in the audience such as Kelly Slater, Pearl Jam made a case for itself as an honorary local band.

Vedder acknowledged the presence of Hui Malama o Ke Kai, a group of young people from Waimanalo who participate in an after-school program developed by Gaspar. In another pivotal moment, the singer thanked the 400 members of the military and their families who were in attendance. The band brought uplift to specific members of its audience, and the crowd returned this affection with aloha both respectful and rabid.

When the clock headed past midnight, Vedder asked Kings of Leon to return to the stage, and the two bands became one to offer a joyful rendition of Neil Young's "Rockin' In The Free World." The song ended as the crowd danced and screamed wildly. "How 'bout one more?" Vedder teased, and Pearl Jam tore into an inspired version of "Yellow Ledbetter," which included forays into Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing."

Vedder took a slug from a bottle of wine and poured drinks into cups held up by fans in the first couple of rows. McCready sat on the edge of the stage to finish the tune. The guitarist might have been sitting on his couch at home, and the singer could have been hanging out with his closest friends at the beach. Pearl Jam turned the Blaisdell arena into its metaphorical backyard or living room.

The lights came up and Vedder acknowledged that with the exception of next Saturday's performance as U2's opening act at Aloha Stadium, it might be a while before the band played in Hawai'i again.

"We hope you stay happy 'till we see you again," he said. The crowd knew that he meant it and screamed back.

Vedder fuels Pearl Jam’s tour-ending tour de force



TWO DAYS after headlining a private show on the North Shore, legendary Seattle rockers Pearl Jam presented the rest of Hawaii with an early Christmas gift.

Playing what was easily the longest set by a mainland act in recent memory, the band satiated its most loyal fans Saturday with almost three hours of new material, obscure favorites and legendary hits.

Lead singer Eddie Vedder gave the Blaisdell Arena crowd an inkling of what was to come early in the night when he sat in with opening act Kings of Leon.

Wielding a pair of tambourines, Vedder seemed to channel The Who's Roger Daltrey, exuding energy that rubbed off on both the musicians around him and fans who were eager to see Pearl Jam play in Honolulu again after a 14-year absence. By the end of "Slow Nights, So Long," he had annihilated the instruments, sending bits and pieces flying across the stage and out into the audience.

After a 40-minute intermission, Pearl Jam sauntered out and kicked off the night's main event with songs off the band's first three albums. Powering through "Oceans," "Corduroy" and "Animal," Vedder continued to press the pace, moving on to songs off 1998's "Yield" and their 2006 self-titled release before taking a moment to address the crowd.

"Good evening, and welcome to Pearl Jam's last show," he said, pausing before adding, "of the tour!"

Vedder then introduced Kenneth "Boom" Gaspar, who grew up in Waimanalo and has been touring and recording with the band since 2002. Telling the crowd he thought Gaspar was the embodiment of the next song, Vedder launched into "Love Boat Captain," which ended with the audience chanting "Boom! Boom!" over and over again.

The most chicken-skin moment came a few minutes later, when the lights went dim and only Vedder and Gaspar were illuminated on stage. After taking a moment for a prayer, Vedder began a rendition of Israel Kamakawiwoole's "Hawaii '78," while Gaspar caressed his keyboard in the background. As the entire band jumped aboard to finish the song, it was evident part-time resident Vedder and company have a deeper connection to Hawaii and its culture than most other acts that pass through.

Vedder also voiced his appreciation many times during the evening, telling the audience, "You couldn't order a better crowd with which to end this tour," and, "We're not going to play these songs again for a while, so we hope you enjoy them."

Sporting a black T-shirt with the word "SL8R" printed on the front, he said hello to professional surfers Kelly Slater and Rob Machado, plugged the veggie burger at Duke's in Waikiki and thanked Gaspar for bringing a group of keiki from Waimanalo's Hui Malama o ke Kai to the show. He even made a point of thanking more than 400 members of the military who were in the audience, getting down on his knees and bowing in appreciation of their service before sending them into a frenzy with "Alive" to cap off the first encore of the evening.

THE concert had already passed the two-hour mark, but nobody in the crowd dared to leave.

They were rewarded after a short five-minute wait, when Vedder returned to the stage by himself and picked up an ukulele to play "You're True." The band then paused to bring out a birthday cake for drummer Matt Cameron, getting the audience to sing "Happy Birthday" before Vedder picked up the sizable cake and threw it about 10 rows back into the seats facing the stage.

"Would you like a fork?" he joked, before the band regrouped and tore into "Smile," "Why Go," "Big Wave" and "Life Wasted."

Powered by several bottles of alcohol and the love of an adoring crowd, the band kept things going at full blast despite having played past midnight. Kings of Leon returned to the stage to help Pearl Jam with a cover of Neil Young's "Rockin' in the Free World," before Pearl Jam ended the epic night with a mashup of "Yellow Ledbetter" and Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing."

And even though the house lights had been lit for a good 10 minutes, it seemed as if Vedder just didn't want the show to end.

"It was quite a night," Vedder admitted from the stage, a bottle in one hand and a cigarette in the other. "May we all sleep well. ... Hawaii, we love you!"

Although Pearl Jam is scheduled to open for U2 Saturday at Aloha Stadium, this concert at the Blaisdell was one for the ages, especially for hard-core fans. Judging by the euphoric looks on people's faces as they exited the venue, fans will have lots of memories to help pass the time until the band decides to headline here again.

OCEANS !!!
