Perhaps the most enduring thing about Pearl Jam is that they live up to their name. Indeed, for all but the earliest days of their career, Pearl Jam have never played the same show twice. This is, however, just a coincidence, and stands as a testament to Pearl Jam's resolve to provide a unique experience with every show. In fact, it's the other b-side to be found on the 'Jeremy' single. The song - McCready's tribute to Jimi Hendrix's 'Little Wing' - is another b-side.
The concert ends with McCready's improvised, unaccompanied solo, fading into deafening cheers of appreciation. The crowd give rapturous applause and cheers. Not that the crowd minds no, they cheer and sing along with aplomb, welcoming this uncommon treasure.Īfter two more songs, Vedder calls for the house-lights, and guitarist Mike McCready plays the Hendrix-inspired chords to 'Yellow Ledbetter'. A rare live song, 'Footsteps' only ever saw its original release as a b-side track to their massively popular song, 'Jeremy'. Moments later, guitarist Stone Gossard plays the acoustic tones that make the main riff for 'Footsteps'. The fans in attendance at Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne on 20 February, 2003, have experienced something truly unique. Two girls even hug each other in their ecstatic bliss. Yet the song tears the house down, with fans cheering and screaming. They have only performed it live less than a dozen times in their 12-year career.
The band immediately launch into 'Breath', a song recorded in the earliest days of their career and released only on the soundtrack to Cameron Crowe's film, Singles. 'Scientists have studied the universe, and they discovered that it's about 15 billion years old,' says Ed Vedder, lead vocalist for Pearl Jam, 'so by comparison, this song ain't so old.'
