2006 World Tour European Leg Compilation

Pearl Jam returned to Europe after long 6 years break, and found very warm and enthusiastic welcome. All shows were great, especially the first part of the leg. Spanish and Portuguese crowds were extraordinary loud. Ed's vocal performance was fantastic, but in Madrid his voice suddenly cracked and never revived until maybe the end of Italian shows.

This compilation highlights the most memorable moments of the tour, such as part of Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" on ukulele, or 'reverted' "Hunger Strike" duet with Eddie singing the first verse instead of his usual second.

2. Improv (My Verona)
3. Come Back (Today Your Love Tomorrow The World)
4. I Belive In Miracles
5. Hunger Strike  (with Andrew Stockdale from Wolfmother)
6. Improv (Portugal, Portugal)
7. (Improv) Small Town
8. (No Woman No Cry) Better Man (No Woman I Cry)

Fuckin-Ups Live

Just for fun. I had started to collect some spectacular fuck-ups from the band, maybe they would make you smile, my friends!

1. Sometimes (first time ever Eddie forgets lyrics for the very opening song of the show!)
2. Animal (song stopped due to electrical power supply falure, Ed jokes that maybe Bruce Springsteen, who played at that venue before them, didn't pay the bill for electricity?)
3. Alone (Stone's guitar failure forced the band to make a break in the middle of the song)
4. Better Man (Ed fucked up his most famous hit and commented: Tom Petty would never do that, never! He is a professional!)
5. Love Boat Captain (aborted) (fuck, I can't remember!)
6. Small Town (aborted) + Improv(Let Stone sing) (what was planned to be the Small Town ended up as "Let Stone sing!" funny improvisation)
7. Crazy Mary (after spectacular equipment failure shocked Eddie said that he would never play this song again, but with the help of the audience they finished it; Ed about Mary: I never called her insane publicly before)

Updated to ver. 1.01 (2012-12-14): Added "Sometimes" and "Animal"

2006 World Tour US Leg 2 Compilation

The second part of 2006 World Tour started in Pittsburgh and then Pearl Jam travelled West, opening 6 shows for Tom Petty among other dates, and finished at gorgeous Gorge Amphitheatre not far from Seattle. Every show was fantastic, the band was in absolutely perfect shape, crowds were great, and even warming up for Tom Petty the band enjoyed loud support and singalongs.

In this compilation Corduroy and Better Man from Denver represent different approach for keys as Boom Gaspar was absent and replaced by Benmont Tench from Tom Petty's band. Bu$hleaguer is with "Georgie-boy" vocal intro. In Little Sister Ed's mistake was rectified with additional solo by Mike. Present Tense is one of the slightly alternated extended outro solo versions, as well as Big Wave. Leash "fox-news-fuck-you" is just a powerful pinnacle of the set, leading to a Yellow Ledbetter "good-bye".

1. Corduroy
2. Better Man (Save It For Later)
3. Bu$hleaguer
4. Daughter (It's Ok)
5. Rearviewmirror
6. Little Sister
7. I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts
8. American In Me (with members of Avengers)
9. Big Wave
10. Porch
11. I Won't Back Down
12. Waiting On A Friend
13. Little Wing
14. Present Tense
15. Crown Of Thorns
16. Leash
17. Yellow Ledbetter (Star-Spangled Banner)

2006 World Tour US Leg 1 Compilation

The first leg of self-titled Pearl Jam album promotion tour (Avocado tour, as Ed mentioned) focused on the North-East of the USA. This leg included shows in large cities such as New-York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago. The band was in very good energetic mood, Ed's voice was great from the start and in the final shows was absolutely fantastic. After a long break and endless fans requests, Leash had returned to set-lists rotation. Also this tour provided us with many interesting improvs and alterations, some new covers. In my opinion, the most interesting show of this leg was Toronto, night 2 (and night 1 was very good too). The loudest crowd was in Boston, but overall audience singing was nothing in comparison to, for example, US tour in the same cities in 2010.

For this compilation I've selected some improvs, Alive with much longer final solo (Leash with longer solo went to Vs. Live compilation). After playing I Got Id Eddie revealed a secret that the core of this song had been taken from Neil Young's Cinnamon Girl and played it as a snippet. During Long Road's solo Mike played very unusual U2-like riffs. Daughter and Rearviewmirror feature new tags. Before Rats Matt played drum intro. Very good version of Immortality also includes intro (Ed plays it from time to time) and gorgeous extended outro. And the grand-finale for this compilation is Yellow Ledbetter. After very passionate and energetic Crazy Mary (slow tempo version) and Alive it takes easy and relaxed as Eddie couldn't hold his laughter at something during the first verse and then finished the song with the snippet of Rolling Stones' Beast Of Burden. Also check reworked Garden and more alterations in other songs.

1. Long Road
2. Comatose
3. I Got Id (Cinnamon Girl)  -Ed reveals the secret of these songs
4. (Toronto Improv 1) Whipping
5. Daughter (To Come)
6. Rats  (-with drum intro)
7. Garden  (-reworked hardened version-2006)
8. Porch
9. (Toronto Improv 2)
10. Wishlist (improv tag "I wish I was the president")
11. Rearviewmirror
12. Forever Young
13. Immortality
14. Crazy Mary
15. Alive
16. Yellow Ledbetter (Beast Of Burden)

Plenty Of Time - Lost Eddie Vedder's song

"I purchased this demo tape off of ebay 12 years ago. There was limited information from the seller, other than that he purchased it at a yard sale in Montana. One side of the cassette contains three tracks I cannot identify as Bad Radio Songs. The fourth track is the acoustic version of Homeless. The other side of the cassette contains 4 recognized Bad Radio Songs.
The cassette holder is visible in the video. There is writing in white-out on the cassette, which labels one side "Bad Radio", and the other side "The Butts". A written note inside the cassette says "this is the butts first demo. must see live. keep in touch. eddie (phone #)"
If these three tracks are indeed The Butts and not Bad Radio, then I believe it will be the earliest known recordings from Eddie Vedder."
