Daily News | Review: Pearl Jam performs an impassioned sold-out, celebratory concert in Camden
The crowd at the sold-out Freedom Mortgage Pavilion in Camden stayed on its feet for the entirety of the 2 ½ hour show on Wednesday night, but Pearl Jam began the evening sitting down.
Eddie Vedder and bandmates — bassist Jeff Ament, guitarists Stone Gossard and Mike McCready, and drummer Matt Cameron, plus two auxiliary musicians — entered as Catpower’s “The Greatest” played over the sound system. The FMP crowd of 22,000 — the biggest, Vedder said, of the band’s current tour — was made up of fans in the same age range as the band, whose members are all in the mid-to late 50s, and younger.
McCready got extended showcases, including one with his instrument behind his head on “Alive.” Cameron didn’t solo, but got an introduction for the ages from Vedder: “We’ve lost some great ones. We’ve lost Neal Peart. We’ve lost Charlie Watts. We just lost Taylor Hawkins. Thank God we still have Matt ... Cameron!”
Subtle moments rewarded close attention. In one snippet, Vedder riffed on the version of the Rolling Stones’ “ Satisfaction” recorded by Devo, Later, he said he woke from a dream Wednesday in which he saw “those steps Rocky runs up, where Jay-Z puts on his Made in the U.S.A festival.” In the dream, the Philadelphia Museum of Art was replaced by a volcano. “I don’t know what it means. Dreams are weird. But I did ask Mike McCready to play this song.” What was it? “Gonna Fly Now”? Nope. Van Halen’s “Eruption.”
