• LIVE MUSIC REVIEW

On a Sunday evening in 2023, Pearl Jam pulled into the Ruoff Music Center in Noblesville, IN to prepare for a sold out show.  However, a few band members fell ill and were forced to postpone the show shortly before doors opened.  Now a year later,  fans returned to fill up the large amphitheater to capacity to welcome back a now healthy and ready to go Pearl Jam.

The patient fans waited nearly a full year to scan their tickets as well as brave an afternoon and evening in the mid 90 degrees heat.  Glen Hansard kicked off the evening with a short set while fans filled in the pavilion and massive lawn.

Walking on the stage just as the sun is setting, the band ripped through 6 straight tunes from the early to mid 90’s.  With no visible front lighting, the band was completely silhouetted for the first few songs.  Frontman Eddie Vedder mentioned that the show opener, “Wash”, was also the first song they ever played in Indiana back in 1991.  A nice surprise for the longtime fans as the band is touring in support of their newest release, this year’s Dark Matter.  

The next string of songs featured several tracks from  Dark Matter as well as touring staples such as “Even Flow” and “Daughter”.  Touring for the first time with a large LED video wall brought even more life into the already polished and tour ready newer tunes.  A highlight of the new touring tech was a graphic comic during another staple, “Do The Evolution”.

After a brief encore, Vedder returned to the stage with just Hansard for a duet of Hansard’s song “Song of Good Hope”.  Vedder noted that the song was dedicated to a friend of the band that was going through a struggling time. The song was perfect for her.  A common occurrence at a Pearl Jam show with Vedder dedicating songs to friends and fans.  He would follow that up with a wedding anniversary request, as well as a shoutout to local basketball star Caitlin Clark before the band played the title track of their 2013 release Lightning Bolt.

With the show stretching just beyond 2 hours and 20 minutes and songs covering a 33 year period, there was an excited buzz leaving the venue. The show was indeed worth the wait.

Pearl Jam Biography

Pearl Jam will finally return to Ruoff Music Center, nearly a year after postponing show

Grunge legends Pearl Jam will make up last year's missed Ruoff Music Center show later this summer, the venue announced Tuesday.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Famers will play Ruoff on Aug. 26. All previously purchased tickets will be honored for the new date.

It is unclear whether new tickets will be released, as the previous show sold out in short order. The concert's ticketing page previously noted the postponement and was updated Tuesday morning to note it remains sold out.

The makeup show comes as part of a newly announced Dark Matter World Tour, named for a new song released Tuesday and an album of the same name due in April.

Who is opening for Pearl Jam in Indianapolis?

Folk singer Glen Hansard will open the show.

Why did Pearl Jam cancel Indianapolis?

The original date, set for Sept. 10, 2023 at the Noblesville amphitheater, was postponed just a few hours before its scheduled start time due to illness.

It’s not easy...,"

Pearl Jam postpones Indiana concert 'due to illness': 'We wish there was another way around it'

Alternative rock band Pearl Jam has been forced to postpone a concert in Indiana due to illness.

In a statement posted to Instagram, the band said its Sunday concert at the Ruoff Music Center in Noblesville, Indiana, was being rescheduled "due to illness." An exact illness was not specified in the post, nor was it revealed which band members are currently sick.

"The band is deeply sorry and thinking about all those who travel to shows, as well as the great crowd in Indy," the statement said. "It's obviously serious, and we wish there was another way around it. Again we apologize, and thanks so much for your understanding. It's not easy..."

USA TODAY has reached out to Pearl Jam's representatives for comment.

Tickets will be honored for a future rescheduled date, the band said. Ticket holders who cannot make the new show will be eligible for a refund.

Upcoming concerts in Fort Worth, Texas, on Sept. 13 and 15 and in Austin, Texas, on Sept. 18 and 19 remain scheduled as planned, the band said.

Pearl Jam isn't the only member of rock 'n' roll royalty to find themselves under the weather recently.

Bruce Springsteen announced Wednesday that he was postponing a slate of concerts in September on the advice of doctors who are treating him for peptic ulcer disease .

The legendary rocker posted  a note to his official Instagram page  informing fans that starting with his scheduled Sept. 7 concert in Syracuse, New York, he would be taking a break from performing due to his condition.

In August, Springsteen  uncharacteristically postponed two concerts at Philadelphia's Citizens Bank Park , citing illness. But he was back for  a trio of hometown stadium stompers  at Met Life Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, that kicked off Aug. 30 and wrapped Sept. 3.

Review & setlist: Pearl Jam makes a welcome return to Fenway Park with a burly mix of new and old

I t’s been a long time since Pearl Jam last performed in Boston — fans may have even wondered if frontman Eddie Vedder and Co. would ever come back. On Sunday however, the band returned for the first time in six years to Fenway Park for a 2 1/2-hour show that brought rarely performed songs, a teary-eyed frontman, and guitar solos that lit up the crowd. If we are in fact nearing Pearl Jam’s retirement , Boston witnessed a truly memorable show Sunday night from a band with an epic career. They looked and sounded better than ever.   

Think you can ace this Aerosmith quiz? Dream on.

There were appropriate Boston and sports mentions: Frontman Eddie Vedder wore his Dark Matter World Tour uniform: a Chicago Bears Walter Payton No. 34 jersey, also the number of years the band has been performing. He shared his own Tim Wakefield story, dedicating “Just Breathe” to the late Red Sox pitcher and his late wife Stacy . Bassist Jeff Ament donned a Larry Bird graphic T-shirt, and later changed into a Jayson Tatum jersey. Organist Boom Gaspar wore a yellow Boston Strong jersey.

The 26-song setlist covered a range of their early hits and latest tracks from the April release of “Dark Matter.” Here are a few memorable highlights of Pearl Jam’s Fenway Park show on Sept. 15:

Eddie Vedder shared an emotional story about late friend Chris Cornell. 

Before performing “In My Tree,” frontman Eddie Vedder brought the entire stadium to a standstill when he delivered an emotional story about climbing a tree with late friend Chris Cornell of Soundgarden. Vedder said he had not planned to share these details, and forgot why he was even telling it to a Boston audience. In recent years, he’s been more vocal about Cornell, who died by suicide in 2017. When Vedder revisited the tree a few weeks ago, he choked up recalling a moment when he heard a voice say, “It’s OK.” After the song, he told the audience: “I remember now, we called the tree the Green Monster.” 

More Fenway Park concert reviews

Review & setlist: rock legends def leppard proved the show must go on at fenway park, review & setlist: hootie & the blowfish brought fenway back to the ’90s, mostly in a good way, photos & setlist: kane brown sets fenway park on fire (literally), vedder dusted off rarely performed songs ..

Pearl Jam is known to frequently change the set list for their shows , but the audience was treated to two lesser performed songs Sunday night.

First, we might want to thank Ted Nugent for getting Vedder riled up enough to play “Glorified G” Sunday night. “We love him,” Vedder told the audience. “But I said recently I didn’t own a firearm and don’t want to,” he added. At a recent show in Baltimore, the band performed a reimagined, anti-gun version of Nugent’s “Stranglehold,” which prompted a response on X from the pro-gun conservative musician.

Maybe Vedder tried to end the beef Sunday night, but he went on to perform “Jeremy” and “Glorified G,” a song inspired by another disagreement Vedder had with former drummer Dave Abbruzzese. “Glorified G” is a vocally challenging song for Vedder. He’d even declined to play it during a Howard Stern interview in April. It’s worth noting here the 59-year-old singer crushed the vocals throughout the evening. 

Second, the band debuted “Blood,” from their 1993 album “Vs.,” for the first time in the Dark Matter tour. The performance had some notable stops and starts and Vedder said afterward, “We did not practice that.” To his credit, the band dusted it off after not having performed the song since their last visit to Boston in 2018. 

Guitar solos were a show on their own.

If concertgoers left with only a few memories of Sunday night, one of them was certainly Mike McCready ripping a minutes-long guitar solo above his head during “Even Flow.” 

“I like this part of the night. It’s like releasing an animal out of his cage,” Vedder said ahead of McCready. 

Another hypnotizing solo moment came from Stone Gossard during the cover of Neil Young’s “Rockin’ in the Free World.” 

The encore featured a Neil Young cover, tambourines, and John Krasinski. 

Our readers have said Pearl Jam’s 2016 and 2018 shows at Fenway were some of the best the venue has ever had . Reader Ben in Brighton said of both, “They rocked through the curfew and kept playing another 30 minutes after the lights came on.” 

On Sunday, the band turned the house lights on for the last few encore songs, illuminating a packed stadium and celebratory moments when tambourines were tossed into the crowd and passed around to celebrities and notable figures on stage — spotted were Vedder’s daughter, Olivia, and actor/director John Krasinksi. Reddit users are still trying to figure out the other celebrities up there . (Take a look at the video below — who do you think was chatting with Krasinski?)

The weaker parts of the evening were relatively minor and infrequent. When the live camera wasn’t filming the band or the crowd, a visualizer accompanied songs from the “Dark Matter” album, which felt reminiscent of an early 2000s Windows Media Player. There were also a couple pauses during “Rearviewmirror” and “Just Breathe” when Vedder checked in on nearby fans that may have appeared to be in some kind of physical distress. Crowd surges and distressed audience members certainly aren’t a new phenomenon — though after the 2000 Roskilde Festival tragedy in Denmark, it’s not surprising Vedder was quick to twice pause the show. 

Opener Glen Hansard played a 45-minute set, which included a performance from Olivia Vedder singing “My Father’s Daughter.” It was Hansard’s first time performing at Fenway Park, and he returned on stage for Pearl Jam’s encore.  

The band will play Fenway Park again on Tuesday, Sept. 17.
