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:

26 years ago today, Pearl Jam debuted- thanks to Matt Cameron- this delightful jangly cover of The La's. Playing London, the Liverpool band's song was fitting. But our favorite version came that year in Saratoga! #tfh "Timeless Melody," Aug. 27, 2000:

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:

Happy 48th birthday, Jim James! When his band, my morning jacket, was the world's most overqualified opener for Pearl Jam 20 years ago, it led to one of Eddie Vedder's greatest all-time collaborations. #tfh "A Quick One While He's Away," Sept. 19, 2006:

Back in the day, we were partial to "Animal" or "Hail Hail" as the rocker slotted 2nd after a classic opener. 34 years ago today, though, it must've been thrilling to catch this frenzied rendition of the 'Ten' opener at #2. #tfh "Once," April 23, 1992:

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:

10 years since Pearl Jam played 'Ten' front to back in Philly! What a night! Hearing those songs in sequence live was truly surreal. The whole show was a highlight, but this intro/closer was undoubtedly the emotional peak. #tfh "Release," April 29, 2016:

"I really do feel close to this song, but I'll tell ya, you've never heard it until you hear Eddie Vedder sing it." -Tom Petty 19 years ago today, Ed crushed his Denver guest spot with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and the Heartbreakers. #tfh "The Waiting," July 3, 2006:
