See Pearl Jam Debut ‘Dark Matter’ Songs Live at Tour Kickoff in Vancouver

Pearl Jam kicked off their world tour Saturday in Vancouver, where the band delivered the live debuts of songs off their new album 'Dark Matter.'

Pearl Jam’s set also featured covers of Tom Petty’s “I Won’t Back Down,” Mother Love Bone’s “Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns,” and Neil Young’s “Rockin’ in the Free World,” hits like “Alive,” “Corduroy,” and “Daughter,” and the band’s first performance of the Yield-era B-side “Leatherman” since 2016. Pearl Jam’s tour continues Monday in Vancouver, after which the band will travel to Portland, Sacramento, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles before headlining Napa Valley’s BottleRock Festival on May 25 and playing a pair of hometown Seattle shows that week. Following a European leg, the North American dates will pick back up in August with stops at Chicago’s Wrigley Field, New York’s Madison Square Garden, and Boston’s Fenway Park.
