Notes: Songs are missing between Small Town and Black. Whipping is one of them. Before 'Green Disease', Ed tells the crowd that the band have put out new records since the last time they were in the UK and that this was a song off of the last one. During the encore Ed thanks the crowd for being so welcoming and appreciative. He thanks them again before 'Life Wasted'. After 'Alive' he tells a story about how he had a dream George W. was "fucking... fucking us all" and he wasn't using a condom, so as he reached climax he had to pull out!

In reference to their long absence, singer Eddie Vedder said: "It has been a few years since we last played here and a lot has happened. It is an honour to be playing in the dark. There were reasons why we haven't played a festival for a long time. It was nothing to do with the fact we had no guts, we just needed your trust."

Pearl Jam make massive UK return
Carling Weekend: Leeds Festival gets greatest hits set



Pearl Jam have celebrated their UK festival return with a greatest hits set at Carling Weekend: Leeds Festival tonight (August 25).

The Seattle five-piece headlined the opening night on the main stage and took the opportunity to roll through a series of classic tracks from their back catalogue.

Borrowing heavily from their debut album 'Ten' and their second album 'Vs', among the favourites played were 'Black', 'Don't Go', 'Daughter' and 'Alive'.

Playing festivals has been difficult for Pearl Jam in recent years. In 2000, nine people were killed in the crowd at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark where the band were playing. Following the tragic events, the band shied away from playing larger events.

In reference to their long absence, singer Eddie Vedder said: "It has been a few years since we last played here and a lot has happened. It is an honour to be playing in the dark. There were reasons why we haven't played a festival for a long time. It was nothing to do with the fact we had no guts, we just needed your trust."

The band ended their set with Neil Young cover 'Rockin' In The Free World'.

The set was:

'Don't Go'
'Animal'
'Corduroy'
'World Wide Suicide'
'Hail Hail'
'Severed Hand'
'Given To Fly'
'Green Disease'
'Even Flow'
'Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town?'
'Insignificance'
'Daughter'
'Lukin'
'Whipping'
'Not For You'
'State Of Love And Trust'
'Black'
'Porch'
'Why Go'
'Evolution'
'Life Wasted'
'Alive'
'Rockin' In The Free World'

Pearl Jam rock first night in the park
Rockers turn up heat at festival

THE spectacular thunderstorm that erupted over Leeds on Wednesday seemed designed to welcome musical-behemoths like Slayer to the city.

As it was, first day Leeds festivalgoers were slapping on the suncream and hearing compere Colin Murray wisecracking that "the health and safety people are advising you to drink neat vodka".
Most of the crowd were anyway.
They defied the midday sun to turn out in numbers for early-doors comedy metallers Killswitch Engage.
The band ripped into what seemed like one never-ending song, vocals croaked or belted into the mike.
The kids went mad, flinging themselves into festival mode – some young casualties already lay flat out.
Yesterday being day one of the Leeds Carling Festival, they've peaked way too early. Only from such episodes do festival newcomers learn to survive three days.
Sheffield's Letters and Colours do a decent Joy Division meets Arctic Monkeys thing.
On the 'Unsigned' stage, their frontman's intense stage manner sets them apart – so expect more from them.
British grime star Sway wasted a storming opening salvo in the Dance Arena.
Samples of the national anthem and Blur's Parklife, along with a dig at Tory leader David Cameron's views on rap, had the place bouncing.
But in the second halp the sound seemed to lapse, taking the meat out of the message.
Breakthrough
Outside, the sun still beat down.
A clan of proud Scots marched past, in full tartan and Braveheart-style face paint. The number of pairs of skintight jeans was uncountable.
A bloke with a perm wore an odd outfit made from white drapes. Spotless wellies crossed the baked ground. The mood was relaxed.
A good size crowd turned out for Leeds's Four Day Hombre.
That they have yet to make a major breakthrough is obviously frustrating, at least to frontman Simon Wainwright. Understandable, because, as always, Four Day played quality tunes with skill and passion.
On the Carling Stage, Goldie Lookin Chain led an old-style, good-humoured rave-up.
During it, the rain came down and brought Slayer their thundery atmosphere after all.
The metal veterans' sound was loud and clean, their performance pure power.
Stoney, who closed the unsigned stage in confident style, surely can't be far from a deal.
Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder appears chastened by his country's President and the current climate, urging us all to take care of each other, before inspiring his band to claim the main stage.
While, to the unitiated, some of the set came over as samey, throaty rock, when Pearl Jam hit the button they erupted.
Classics such as Even Flow and Alive, massive guitar driven wig outs and a blast through Rockin in the Free World did the honours.
The band are important to a lot of people.
Last night, any outside worries will have evaporated as they enjoyed their musical paradise.

Just got home and the gig was well received considering it was a festival crowd. The crowd wasn't as big and was more diverse (1st time seeing them at a festival) which was a bit strange as they didn't seem to take to much of the later stuff (binaural onwards). It was nice to hear some of the older stuff aired again, would expect something similar for the Reading gig on Sunday.

They continued with the MAtt drum solo and Mikes playing behind his head during even flow went down very well with the crowd - is this to be the norm now?

I do have one question tho - Why was betterman dropped from the set list? it was supposed to be in between why go and do the evolution? I managed to get my hands on a set-list and its there in black and white - but not played, strange because at both Dublin & the Astoria it sounded fantasic.

I've just got back from the show and wow, fucking awesome. This was our first show and i felt like we had been treated to a 'perfect set'.

we were in the pit (which was easy to get into, we just walked our way to the front centre during placebo) on the third row back and when PJ came out eddie appealed that we all look after each other (refering to roskilde), which at first did not happen, loads of kids (unfortunatly pj)were charging forward and back trying to mosh and caused a couple of collapses in the crowd but they were soon ironed out of the crowd easing eddies nerves.

The sound was spot on and the band were as tight as a gnats chuff, it was chaos when they opened with GO, it was like a wave of energy flting thru the field. The set was pretty hardcore full of surprises like SOLAT, whipping, hail hail and stone did a mad rock and roll solo during porch, which was very animated for stone!, Black was emotional for all and you could tell the band had put some demons to rest tonight, Ed seemed abit emotional, it was real nice.

Then at the end before rockin in the free world, ed told us about his dream he had last night about watching President Bush Fuckin a lady without a condom and he was screaming 'pull out' at him, but when he woke up he realised it was linked to the war.

My first ever pearl jam show and i must say it was bloody fantastic!! It was easy to get past the 2nd barrier, went in just before MCR to make sure i had an ok spot.
I was on the left(mikes side) about 3/4 people from the front, when they opened with go and animal everyone went crazy, people pushing and jumping up and down but eventually it calmed down thank god!

eddie said that the reson theyre doing festivals now (mentioned rocksilde) isnt cause theyre taking a risk but cause they trust us, which cleared it up for me, i was abit worried about safety and all that. also the bush dream story was hilarious, and with an important message too lol

i thought the sound was great from where i was you could hear eddie clearly, no comlaints- i could see mike jeff and eddie for most of the night i was so happy.

basically my ideal setlist..Its Ok, corduroy, even flow, insignificance, SOLAT(!!!) and then afew new ones. quite alot of the songs were old like from Vs and Ten and i guess they had to cater for more casual fans, but i thought it was great. people around me looked after me, 2 people took a photo for me and well looked after by security with water being handed round

Pearl Jam Roll Back the Years

Pearl Jam headlined the first night of the Carling Weekender in Leeds last night (August 25) and treated fans to greatest hits set.

The Seattle rockers dug deep into the archives to play tracks such Black, Alive, Even Flow and popular early B-side State of Love and Trust and ended their 23 song set with their rendition of Neil Young’s Rockin’ in the Free World.

The band headline the Reading leg of the festival this weekend before heading off to Europe and then Australia.

Pearl Jam rock Leeds



Pearl Jam made an emotional return to the UK festival circuit with a greatest hits set in Leeds.

The band headlined the main stage at the Leeds Festival on Friday night, six years after nine people were killed in a crowd crush during their performance at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark.

The band were distraught after the disaster and have not played a UK festival since, but singer Eddie Vedder revealed he was pleased to be back.

He told the Leeds crowd: "It has been a few years since we last played here and a lot has happened.

"It is an honour to be playing in the dark. There were reasons why we haven't played a festival for a long time. It was nothing to do with the fact we had no guts, we just needed your trust."

The band played hits including 'Alive', 'Black' and 'Daughter' and finished their show with a cover of Neil Young's 'Rockin' In The Free World'.

Other bands on the Leeds bill on Friday included Placebo, My Chemical Romance and metal veterans Slayer.

The second stage saw a headline set from Maximo Park, while The Rakes were joined by rappers Lethal Bizzle for a rendition of '22 Grand Job' during their set.

pour ce 2e concert, le taf de daughter était à nouveau It's OK

Just back home now in London after an amazing experience in Leeds last night.

Myself and RJB from the board drove up from London yesterday afternoon (nightmare bank holiday weekend traffic!) to make it in time for the end of Placebo. I was a bit bummed that we missed Slayer but we intend to make up for that by getting ourselves to Reading nice and early tomorrow.

There were plenty of PJ enthusiasts in the crowd which was good to see as I was not sure how the UK crowd would be. The best conversation I had was with two youngs guys of all of 18 behind us who saw my PJ t-shirt and asked if I could tell them what PJ were like as they had never really heard of them! This led me to two realisations (a) being 30 makes me old at a festival and (b) I have been in the fan club for almost two thirds of their lives!!

The wait for the boys to come on was intense - especially for RJB who has never seen them live before. The excitement of the moment was almost ruined by the music they played directly before the boys came on - I don't know about others but to me but playing "Come as you Are" was pretty fucking offensive.

The boys came on about ten minutes before they were slotted to as the main stage was running early. Ed came out and asked everyone to look after each other - it was pretty evident that he was concerned about playing to a festival crowd given the band's last experience and several times during the set you could see him go to the side of stage (usually while Mike was shredding) and take a good look at how things were going in the mosh.

Bets were on about the opener and incredibly I managed to call the Go/Animal double-header! The boys were really tight throughout the set and the reception from the crowd was great. The sound was quite good from where I was (Mike side) - the bass in particular was really loud which was great for me as I've struggled to hear Jeff at a few previous shows that I've been to.

As you can see from the set list the boys really ramped it up for the first 9 songs before calming it down just a little with Small Town. Ed (as always) thanked everyone for coming out and mentioned that they hadn't been to the UK for a while and never to Leeds (although Matt confirmed that Soundgarden had played at Leeds at some stage).

My personal highlights were the Go/Animal opener, Whipping and RITFW (where Ed came down from the stage and walked the full length of the barricade). The set list was pretty much a 'greatest hits' package although the absence of Betterman and Jeremy was evident - I expect that Ed had carefully considered the set list for Leeds and decided to hold a few crowd favourites back to ensure that people got something a bit different tomorrow night at Reading.

As has already been mentioned, Ed's parting speech involved him telling everyone about a dream which he could only describe as 'grotesque' which involved him watching George Bush fucking some nameless woman (although Ed noted George was currently fucking all of us!!). To para-phrase -in his dream Ed had noticed that no condom was being used and he subsequently had yelled for George to pull out as his fear was that another Bush would mean less trees!! Bizarre yes - but one would expect nothing less from Ed!!

After a 3 year break from seeing the boys live (my last foray was in Australia in 2003) - it was great to see them absolutely giving it some only a few metres away from me last night. I am pumped for Reading tomorrow and looking forward to the PJ only shows in Marseille, Paris, Verona, Milan, Prague and Berlin. See you other ten clubbers there!!

PEARL JAM

MAIN STAGE

Leeds: Friday 25th August

9.10pm

Pearl Jam rounded off the first day at Leeds Festival with a vibrant mix of old and new material. Alternating between established grunge classics like Even Flow and Daughter, as well as a host of well-received new material, such as recent single World Wide Suicide and Severed Hand, from their latest eponymous album, the American rock stars brought a fitting end to the opening day.

Clearly looking emotional at the band’s first UK festival performance in years, frontman Eddie Vedder also responded to accusations that the group were afraid of leaving their safe US fanbase behind and appearing at UK festivals. Although in characteristic Vedder style, there was no clear reason, as such, merely a lot of umming and arring and half-finished sentences that didn’t really explain a great deal.

He then went onto describe a dream he had had the night before that involved the gruesome sight of George Bush having sex, before the band performed a standout encore including Alive, Do The Evolution and culminating in a cover of Rockin’ In The Free World, by Neil Young.

Elsewhere at the Leeds site, 2 Many DJs played a stellar genre-mashing set to a packed-out Dance Stage and had the dubious honour of being joined onstage by a naked dancer, as well as roughly 50 other revelers. While Maximo Park drew the second biggest crowd of the day at the NME/Radio 1 Stage, where they proved to be capable headliners despite the rather gaudy backdrop of red and white lights spelling out their name.

Leeds Festival

With Glastonbury taking a year off, many festivals have spurned the opportunity to challenge for the title in favour of a cash-in. Hurriedly increased capacities have led many of them to feel over-full, while last weekend's V festival received a barrage of complaints over everything from the way the running order could only be seen in a £10 programme to perennial problems with the loos. But the appearance here of Pearl Jam puts everything into perspective - even Leeds's own faint problem with the pong.

The band haven't played festivals since 10 people were killed in a crowd crush during their set at Denmark's Roskilde in 2000. Thus, for frontman Eddie Vedder, this performance has huge significance. "[Not playing] was nothing to do with the fact we had no guts. We just needed your trust," he begins, darkly, before blasting into World Wide Suicide. Perhaps they've decided that ultimately, jagged, passionate songs raising concerns about US foreign policy are too important to be silent. Even though breeze around Eddie Vedder's proudly retained metal locks makes him look like Charles I after a weekend camping, it's a performance rich in gravitas and worthy of its Friday headline status.
