Pearl Jam Jolt New Orleans Jazz Fest With Powerhouse Set

Id like to make a toast to the fine folks at BP, Eddie Vedder said, raising a bottle of Rosetta Stone V3 wine at last nights show in New Orleans. Send your sons and daughters to clean up your fucking mess. While Pearl Jam rocked the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico crept closer to the Louisiana coast. Even Vedders wardrobe spoke to the environmental crisis: he wore a Mr. Bill Show T-shirt the characters creator, Walter Williams, actively supports protecting Louisianas endangered wetlands.Jazz Fest has often showcased Rock and Roll Hall of Famers from the 60s and 70s, so Pearl Jams booking was controversial among the festivals faithful. The bands wall-of-guitar sound stands in stark contrast to this years other marquee act, SimonGarfunkel, who played the weekend before. SimonGarfunkel brought back nostalgic hits, while Vedder mocked big oil and celebrated members of the 256th Infantry Division, who were watching a live feed of the show in Iraq. Guitarist Mike McCready paced urgently, and Vedder climbed off the stage to offer a drink to those in the front row, then left it again during a powerful Alive to meet the Cheap Rosetta Stone V3 fans a second time. Pearl Jam slammed the show to a close with the MC5s explosive Kick Out the Jams.Catch up on David Frickes adventures at Jazz Fest.New Orleans was the start of the bands spring tour schedule, and they launched it with their cover of the Byrds So You Want to Be a RocknRoll Star. The set reached back to Ten for Alive, Even Flow and a raging, set-closing Why Go, and included three from last years Backspacer: Got Some, Unthought Known and Supersonic.The band exited the stage after just over an hour, but soon returned to start a six-song encore with Tremor Christ. The song gave Vedder the chance to muse about the bands time in New Orleans. Outside of going to jail, weve had some good experiences here, he said. Parts of Vitalogy, including Tremor Christ, were recorded in the Crescent Rosetta Stone English V3 City in 1994, and he was arrested for getting in a drunken bar fight in 1993.
