Pearl Jam have concluded their Australian tour in Sydney and the final Australian show was also the final show of the Dark Matter World tour.
There were 37 shows on the Dark Matter tour. 22 in the USA, five in Australia, three in Spain, two in Canada, two in New Zealand and one for the UK, Ireland and Portugal.
As Pearl Jam never do the same show twice for the Dark Matter tour 143 different songs were played across the 37 shows. Just two songs, ‘Alive’ from the 1991 ‘Ten’ album and ‘Wreckage’ from 2024’s ‘Dark Matter’ were played at every show.
The final show in Sydney featured two songs played on the tour for the first time Temple of the Dog’s ‘Hunger Strike’ and Bruce Springsteen’s ‘No Surrender’.
Temple of the Dog was a one off consortium with Soundgarden’s Chris Cornell on lead vocals with Pearl Jam’s Stone Gossard, Mike McCreedy and Jeff Ament as the band and occasionally Eddie Vedder as a featured singer. Pearl Jam had not performed the song since 2014 and the Springsteen cover, which was just Eddie on acoustic guitar, had not been played since 2006.
