We've made it to the end of our 10-part MSG series and in this episode, Randy and Chris break down the latest Garden show to date from 2016. As both were in attendance on both nights, it was kind of impossible to judge this show without putting it up head to head with the other and when doing so, some of what you got from this night might be considered disappointing. A huge list of songs from this...

In preparation for the upcoming Vault #9 release, this week's episode we break down the Seattle show from 1993 that many of you will soon be receiving in your mailbox.

In the summer of 2018 we witnessed a possible turning point in the band when a second show in London was canceled due to Eddie having a busted throat. This would lead to a rescheduled date that ended the European tour with tons of great moments to make up for the cancellation. LO4L Patreon donor Aurelien was there that night and joins the show to discuss his experience. A lot of what we discuss in...

We've been stuck in the 2000's for the last couple weeks but its time that we dive back into the era that the band thrived in the most. Indio 1993 is one of those shows that's always in the conversation, maybe not one of the greatest shows of all-time but it lives in infamy for numerous reasons. When you add a wild crowd together with a lead singer who's blood alcohol content exceeded his age, the...

Last year at Halloween time we covered the historic Philadelphia show where the band closed down the Spectrum, but after we released that episode we came to find that most fans that attended the 4 show stretch thought that night 3 was the best of the bunch. At a time where the city of Philadelphia is heavily focused on the World Series, the band managed to score a show on an off-night so the crowd...

When you start a conversation with a Pearl Jam fanatic asking them what the best show of all time is, there are a few answers that immediately come to mind. Pinkpop 92, Soldier Field, Randall's Island are all shows that people speak of with the fondest of memories, but today we're covering a show that hangs among the pantheon of the best shows ever. MSG Night 2 2010 was an instant classic with too...

Randy attended this show, so he recaps all of the memories of deciding two nights before to take the 6 hour tr...

If you listen to that before you listen to this, we won't be offended in the least! While we've tried to...

This week we take a look back on some of the memorable moments we've covered in past episodes. The theme for this clip show is obscure covers. Sure, the band has had their fill of cover songs in the past, anything from Rockin In The Free World to The Who and Beatles songs, but mixed in with those they've made a part of their live act are ones that you may never hear again. In this episode, we disc...

This week we’re going way back to the legendary January 17, 1992 show -- AKA “Vault #1.” In fact, this is the earliest show we’ve covered on the podcast so far!

After a two-week break in the beginning of January 1992, the boys returned to Seattle for a homecoming show at the legendary Moore Theatr...
