Pearl Jam returned to the road on Thursday for their first concert in 2023. Taking the stage at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota, the band tore through a 24-song set that included a few surprise performances.
Notably, the band dusted off “Insignificance” from Binaural for the first time since 2016. They also performed “Love Boat Captain” from Riot Act for only the second time in the last five years.
Other notable song selections included the Vs. track “Indifference,” which opened a Pearl Jam concert for the first time since 1994. They also played No Code deep cuts “I’m Open” and “Sometimes.”
To close the show, Eddie Vedder covered Tom Petty’s “Wildflowers” before the rest of the band joined him for “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town,” “Go,” “Crazy Mary,” “Alive,” and “Yellow Ledbetter.”
