26 years ago today was one of the coolest Pearl Jam tags. It starts similarly to the known 11/6/00 "Betterman" tag ("I Gotta Go"), segues into a "More Than This" theme and closes with repurposed "RVM" lyrics. Chef's kiss. #tfh "Betterman," June 27, 1998:

9 years ago today was a reunion for the ages. At Mike's Seattle Symphony event, both @templeofthedog and @MadSeasonMusic performed. This @chriscornell vocal delivery is just spectacular. RIP Layne. RIP Chris always. #tfh "Call Me a Dog," Jan. 30, 2015:

Happy 57th birthday, Stone! Our preferred @SGossard birthday celebration includes cake, Eddie backing vocals, and the birthday boy singing lead on this 'Lost Dog' - just like 17 years ago today in Portland. #tfh "Don't Gimme No Lip," July 20, 2006:

Triple-digit temperatures, rarities and stand-out performances made the 2 shows @TheGorge closing out Pearl Jam's U.S. tour unforgettable. Ed climbed a perch to take in the venue's spectacular view, 17 years ago today. #tfh "Given to Fly," July 23, 2006:

10 years ago, this outro left us breathless at a superb PJ show. Initially, there's so much space as Matt mashes. Then, Mike and Jeff add gorgeous intersecting melodies. Finally, Ed and Stone strum those swirling chords. #tfh "In My Tree," Nov. 21, 2013:

9/11 is forever associated with NYC. We felt it @TheGarden last week with "LBC" and "I Am Mine." For Pearl Jam, today also marks 26 years since the "Breath" campaign coalesced in NYC. "This is like organized religion here." #tfh "Breath," Sept. 11, 1998:

18 years ago today, Pearl Jam's triumphant trek across Canada brought them to Montreal. The band busted out this beautiful @Neilyoung cover on that tour. Kudos to Sleater-Kinney for the stellar backing vocals. #tfh "Harvest Moon," Sept. 15, 2005:

17 years ago today, PJ began a 3 night run at San Fran's legendary @BillGrahamCivic . It was their 1st such residency since Mexico City '03. At these shows, the band elevated some new Avocado songs (Big Wave and this). #tfh "Unemployable," July 15, 2006:

Today we go back 29 yrs to Pearl Jam @RedRocksCO . @Steven_Hyden points to this one-off song as a transition point for PJ: from playing their big hits to unique live moments, special bec they are singular and fleeting. #tfh "Falling Down," June 20, 1995:

Today marks 20 years since Pearl Jam launched their vaunted 1994 tour. Incredibly, these shows supporting 'Vs.' included every 'Vitalogy' song (except "Bugs"). That tour opened in this unique way as the crowd went nuts. #tfh "Indifference," March 6, 1994:

#OtD : 1995 Self Pollution Radio During PJ's peak popularity, they aired Vitalogy-era strangeness, Seattle chums, and Jack Irons. The deepest cut surfaced later, a fun go of their 'Basketball Diaries' soundtrack collab. #tfh "Catholic Boy," Jan. 8, 1995:

"Good evening, Wrigley Field!" 8 years ago today, Ed kicked off the 'Let's Play Two' shows. Pearl Jam grew so confident in these baseball venues they could open shows for 40,000 with this deep cut. Can't wait to be back! #tfh "Low Light," Aug. 20, 2016:

On this date 26 years ago, Pearl Jam began their 1st of 4 nights opening for The Rolling Stones. They'd play hits and unreleased 'Yield' material before the Oakland @RollingStones crowd. This beautiful outro closed the set. #tfh "Black," Nov. 14, 1997:

26 years into this song's existence and its intro has never sounded better. It was great in Philly last week, and it sounded absolutely huge at the great Camden show 2 years ago today. #tfh "Untitled/MFC," Sept. 14, 2022:

15 years ago today, PJ delivered their best setlist of the year. This Hartford show featured so many songs that were otherwise unplayed on that tour - "Breakerfall," "Blood," "Smile," "F*!kin Up," and this glorious tune. #tfh "Immortality," June 27, 2008:

32 yrs ago today was a landmark moment in PJ history. As seen in Pearl Jam Twenty, the band showed up near Zurich and played semi-acoustic at a tiny venue. A signal of the young band's growth, and a template for MTV Unplugged. #tfh "Garden" Feb. 19, 1992:
