![]() While this tour is short (just nine shows total), hopefully it’s just the warmup for a bigger enterprise as the band wraps up recording their 12th studio album. While the band members have ventured off into other projects as of late - Vedder working on solo material, Jeff Ament unveiling Deaf Charlie, Stone Gossard reprising BRAD - they are always at their prime together. His energy was matched by Mike McCready’s unyielding guitar solos and Matt Cameron’s steady beat. Though there was no scaffolding for Vedder to climb, he still was an electric banshee. The bandmates began the show seated on stools, not unlike their unforgettable “MTV Unplugged” showdown, before kicking the seats aside and unleashing into epic fits that harkened back to a bygone time. On Tuesday night, the show’s bare-bones stage setup carried all the energy of a Seattle coffeeshop, but proved the best backrop for what was to come. While the summer has been filled with predictable blockbuster productions, Pearl Jam continues to buck all of that for raw, uninhibited, improvised showmanship. Tuesday’s 24-song set began in the same way as that show, with the band starting things off with the emotional opus “Release,” eliciting a mass singalong and setting the tone for the evening. True to his word, the night was one of the best Chicago shows Pearl Jam has delivered in their 30-plus-years of touring, even more so than the sweet satisfaction that came seeing the band play into the twilight hours after the epic rain delay at Wrigley in 2013. “We’ll get back outside one of these days,” the singer quipped, adding, “It’s a big job to add to the history of this building tonight, but with your help I think we can try.” “We feel so blessed to be back in Chicago, with our family and friends in the audience tonight,” Vedder said, sharing it had been about 10 or 15 years ago that the Seattle act played the United Center, since Wrigley Field is the band’s usual concert turf. There were shoutouts to Studs Terkel and “The Bear” there was branded merch riffing off Bulls dynasty T-shirts of yore that drew snaked lines hours before showtime there was a Cheap Trick “Surrender” sendoff there was even former Blackhawks defenseman Chris Chelios pretending to be a guitar tech. Unfortunately can't put Eddie Vs in my top list of steakhouses.Pearl Jam filled Tuesday night with as many Second City tributes as they did songs. Bill came out to about $250 for 2 people.

I had to ask the waiter like 3 times for steak sauce. I ordered lobster tail and steak (I rarely eat steak anymore but they had nothing else for me to choose from) I probably ate 2 bites of the steak and gave it to my bf. They don't have a lot of food options basically all seafood and steaks. Anywho, we ordered 3 margaritas that were 10/10 even tho my drink was wrong it ended up being very good. ![]() I think our server was a little overwhelmed because he got my drink order wrong and I also overheard him get another tables drink wrong and he also accidentally spilled a drink at the other table. It was pretty busy in there on a Saturday night. Oh my goodness, what a small bite of heaven that was. We definitely saved room for dessert chef's chocolate cookies, raspberry sorbet and bananas foster butter cake sitting on caramel sauce. We would not be able to stay but thought that was pretty cool.
