Today makes it 30 (THIRTY!) years since Eddie Vedder stunned the David Letterman crowd by joining Paul Shaffer's house band for a taste of Pearl Jam. Ed walks in, whips out a mic, delivers his searing vocals and then 'he's ghost.' #tfh "Black," Feb 27, 1996:

"The band that is about to play is not Mother Love Bone. It's a new band called Mookie Blaylock, tentatively. Apparently." With that intro, 35 years ago today, young Pearl Jam tore through 5 songs opening for Alice in Chains. #tfh "Wash," Feb. 11, 1991:

One of the strangest Pearl Jam phenomena this decade is this song no longer being a setlist regular. Just 7 performances: 0 in '21, 5 in '22, 1 in '23, and none since 2 yrs ago today. It still rocks and is now a total sing-along! #tfh "Go," May 22, 2024:

No other Pearl Jam song is this old yet was always, and continues to be, a rarity. A 'Ten'-era track unknown until 'Lost Dogs' (2003); it wasn’t played live until 2009 and has only 6 performances- including 1 year ago today. #tfh "Hold On," May 11, 2025:

RIP Chris Cornell, 9 years ago today Ed beautifully captured the moment exactly 1 year ago with a Cornell-coded improv and this 'Gigaton' snippet. It made for a powerful final Pearl Jam show for Mighty Matt Cameron! #tfh Chris Cornell improv/("Comes Then Goes"), May 18, 2025:

On the day Prince died 10 years ago, Pearl Jam played Columbia, SC. The band paid homage to Prince that night, and also performed this 'Lightning Bolt' mixed-bag-of-a-song. It hasn't made a setlist in the decade since. #tfh "Infallible," April 21, 2016:

Happy 2 years of 'Dark Matter," Pearl Jam's 12th studio album! We like "Wreckage" most, and enjoy "Won't Tell," "Waiting For Stevie," "Got to Give" and this song too- PJ's best album closer since at least "Parting Ways." #tfh "Setting Sun," May 22, 2024:
