Baba O'Riley", a song by The Who, is played live for the first time. Cornell, are you here? If Chris is here, we'll play it".
Instead, Stone plays the opening to "Black", but Eddie stops him saying they need to play another first and they go onto "Alive". Eddie notes how he finds it "weird" that people in Europe know the lyrics. After "Jeremy", Eddie says, "Let's play a little Soundgarden", and a few "Outshined" riffs are played.
The jam after "Leash" is based on the "Dirty Frank" tune. Coming back for an encore, Eddie gets a little chant going with the crowd, followed by "Release", strangely played for the first time as an encore. Before finishing with "Breath", Eddie tells everyone, "Hey, we're gonna do a TV show tomorrow and it might even be live. Is there anyone we should tell to fuck off?
We might as well just do it right here". It was an industry showcase in a tiny venue in the basement of a Mexican restaurant. Unfortunately for their record label, Epic, the expected roomful of journalists and record company execs was augmented by an enormous crowd of "normal" people, fans who had picked up on Pearl Jam from their U. These fans, of course, were not permitted entry. Eddie and Dave did their best to counter the crowd's disappointment by spending most of the evening outside the club, handing out free CDs and autographs.
But that did not stop the U. Jeff had some troubles with his bass after "Even Flow". Jeff was pretty pissed off, "We never hire you again! At the end of "Alive", Eddie smashed his microphone stand against the cymbals of Dave's drum.
