Pearl Jam in Toronto

Veteran Seattle rockers Pearl Jam open their world tour in support of their new, self titled CD tonight in Toronto.

Starting tonight, Toronto gets a big, personal thank you from Pearl Jam as they kick off their 2006 world tour with two dates this week at the Air Canada Centre...

The Seattle quintet, rounded out by vocalist/guitarist Eddie Vedder, guitarist Stone Gossard, drummer Matt Cameron and guitarist Mike McCready, are touring in support of their eighth studio album, a self-titled, 13-track project released last week.

They have been selective about where they will play on this tour. Ament says they're not playing "places they should be," such as Texas, Florida, and parts of Northern Europe.


It seems pretty weighty then, that they've not only committed themselves to two Toronto shows (the only Canadian dates), but have decided to launch the entire tour here...
If I had a wish, it would be for those in attendance tonight to get a repeat performance of this:

Pearl Jam w/ Robert Plant : Chicago House of Blues 10-5-05 - Fool in the Rain.
