Vedder opened with a powerful rendition of “Corduroy,” immediately setting a high energy for the evening. He didn’t shy away from acknowledging the challenges of the past few years,offering a poignant message of resilience. “We all got through a lot, and we’re still here,” he shared with the crowd, fostering a sense of shared experience.

Throughout the night, Vedder treated fans to a diverse range of music. He performed full-band versions of “Setting Forth” and “No Ceiling” from his Into the Wild soundtrack alongside Earthlings – a first for these tracks.
Five songs from his 2022 solo album, Earthling, also made an appearance. You also heard extraordinary covers of The Who’s “I’m One,” the Mono men’s “Watch Outside,” and George Harrison’s “Isn’t It a Pity.” I’ve found that incorporating covers demonstrates an artist’s breadth and respect for musical history.
