Setlist

Varje konsert med Pearl Jam är olik. Bandet har inte en fastsatt setlist, trots att det är samma turné utan låtarna kan variera ganska mycket. Detta gör ju att varje konsert blir personlig - bandet spelar de låtar som de själva vill just den kvällen. Och ibland får publiken komma med önskemål.

Vid mina tidigare två konserter har jag fått höra dessa låtarna:

Love Boat Captain

Texten handlar om existentiella frågor, och har referenser till Roskilde-tragedin, "Lost 9 friends we'll never know,.. 2 years ago today". När låten spelas live ändrar Eddie texten så att antalet år blir rätt.
Spelad live 89 gånger sedan september 2002.

Text: Eddie Vedder
Musik: Eddie Vedder & Boom Gaspar

Is this just another day,... this god forgotten place?
First comes love, then comes pain. Let the games begin,...
Questions rise and answers fall,... insurmountable.

Love boat captain
Take the reigns and steer us towards the clear,... here.
It's already been sung, but it can't be said enough.
All you need is love

Is this just another phase? Earthquakes making waves,...
Trying to shake the cancer off? Stupid human beings,...
Once you hold the hand of love,.. it's all surmountable.

Hold me, and make it the truth,...
That when all is lost there will be you,...
Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing
And there's just one word I stil believe
And it's

It's an art to live with pain,... mix the light into grey,..
Lost 9 friends we'll never know,.. 2 years ago today
And if our lives became too long, would it add to our regret?

And the young, they can lose hope cause they can't see beyond today,...
The wisdom that the old can't give away
Hey,...
Constant recoil...
Sometimes life
Don't leave you alone.

Hold me, and make it the truth,...
That when all is lost there will be you.
Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing
And there's just one word that I still believe and it's
Love,... love. love. love. love.

Love boat captain
Take the reigns,.. steer us towards the clear.
I know it's already been sung,... can't be said enough.
Love is all you need,.. all you need is love,..
Love,.. love,...
Love.

Pendulum

En vanlig öppningslåt sedan Lightning Bolt släpptes. Spelad live 19 gånger sedan oktober 2013.

Text: Eddie Vedder
Musik: Stone Gossard, Jeff Ament

Can't know what's high
'Til you've been down so low
The future's bright,
Lit up with nowhere to go,
To and fro the pendulum throws

We are here and then we go
My shadow left me long ago

Understand what we don't know
This might pass
This might last
This may grow
Easy come and easy go
Easy left me a long time ago

I'm in the fire but I'm still cold
Nothing works works for me anymore

Ah ah ah ah ah
To and fro the pendulum throws
To and fro the pendulum throws

To and fro
To and fro

Min andra PJ konsert

Oslo Spektrum, 2012-07-09

2012 hade det gått tolv år sedan sist Pearl Jam spelade i Skandinavien, och sist jag såg dem.
Jag lyckades lura med mig min sambo, som egentligen inte tycker att Pearl Jam är bra alls. Det är för gnälligt och deprimerande enligt honom. Men han fick en annan bild av dem efter denna kvällen, han tyckte att konserten var grymt bra! Och det är lite så med Pearl Jam - man kan inte INTE gilla dem efter att ha sett dem live. De skapar en helt magisk stämning.
Och vi som redan är frälsta, vi blir närmast fanatiska efter en konsert. Kärleken bara växer.

Nothing as it seems

Jag klurar på så mycket annat just nu så jag glömmer nästan bort att vi snart ska på konsert...!!! Därför kommer förra veckans låt nu istället för i fredags :-)
 
"It's a song about judgment and not always understanding what is going on with another person." - Jeff Ament

Text: Jeff Ament
Musik: Jeff Ament

don't feel like home, he's a little out...
and all these words elope, it's nothing like your poem
putting in, inputting in, don't feel like methadone
a scratching voice all alone, there's nothing like your baritone
it's nothing as it seems, the little that he needs, it's home
the little that he sees, is nothing he concedes, it's home
one uninvited chromosome, a blanket like the ozone
it's nothing as it seems, all that he needs, it's home
the little that he frees, is nothing he believes
saving up a sunny day, something maybe two tone
anything of his own, a chip off the cornerstone
who's kidding, rainy day
a one way ticket headstone
occupations overthrown, a whisper through a megaphone
it's nothing as it seems, the little that he needs, it's home
the little that he sees, is nothing he concedes, it's home
and all that he frees, a little bittersweet, it's home
it's nothing as it seems, the little that you see, it's home...

Who you are

Rytmiskt :-)
Låten är spelad live 36 gånger sedan september 1996.

Text: Eddie Vedder
Musik: Jack Irons, Stone Gossard

come to send, not condescend
transcendental consequence
is to transcend where we are
who are we? who we are
trampled moss on your souls
changes all you're a part
seen it all, not at all
can't defend fucked up man
take me a for a ride before we leave...
circumstance, clapping hands
driving winds, happenstance
off the track, in the mud
that's the moss in the aforementioned verse
just a little time, before we leave...
stop light plays its part
so i would say you've got a part
what's your part? who you are
you are who, who you are
