One Title Listed Three Ways

· Limelight · New York

The Pearl Jam Concert Chronology puts 2 000 in the Limelight and marks the night sold out; Five Horizons prints no attendance, names no support where the chronology names Eleven, and brackets 70m after its heading without stating what it measures. "Suggestion" is listed three ways, bracketed by the chronology, joined to "Deep" by Five Horizons and a track of its own in the remaster series' information file, and both notes have "Release," usually an opener, closing the show.

On Sunday, April 12, 1992, Pearl Jam played the Limelight in New York, a room both chronologies head by that name; the Pearl Jam Concert Chronology gives the city as New York City and Five Horizons as New York, each as printed. The chronology's attendance line reads 2 000 (sold out), and Five Horizons prints none; of the two chronologies, only the first marks the night sold out, and none of the markup titles of the objects the chronology's page links under the date carries the mark. Of the two chronologies, only the Pearl Jam Concert Chronology names an opening act, Eleven; the Five Horizons block names no support, and none of the house's three text files names one. Five Horizons brackets 70m after its heading, a figure the chronology does not print; what it measures is not stated. The two print one note, nearly word for word, one source, on a spell at the drums and on the song that closed.

The show

A File Named as a Review, Two Tickets and Twenty-Eight Images

The chronology's page hangs sixty-six elements for the date, thirty-five distinct objects: an advertisement whose markup title carries a credit, not taken; an untitled file named as a review, as a PDF with its untitled image; two tickets, one titled Ticket and one whose title carries a credit, not taken; twenty-eight images, files p1 to p28, every title carrying a credit, not taken; and, untitled, the zip and the information file of the remaster series, whose entry for the night the chronology's own remaster series line lists with an info-file. The images' titles are the chronology's identifications, not captions on the images.

The Performance

Both list "Oceans," "Even Flow," "Why Go," "Jeremy," "Deep," "Alive," "Black," "State of Love and Trust," "Once" and "Porch," then "Leash," "Rockin' in the Free World," "I've Got a Feeling" and "Release," which each sets apart as an encore, the chronology on an encore line and Five Horizons on an enc line. Between "Jeremy" and "Deep," the chronology prints "(Suggestion)," an item of its own in brackets, and Five Horizons joins "Suggestion" to "Deep" with a slash as one entry; the brackets and the join are each document's, reconciled nowhere. Both notes have the singer on drums for a moment before "Leash," and both remark that "Release," usually an opener, closed this show, an ending both call unusual.

The Next Step

New York, the night before, is told in Two Songs and a Sketch. Both documents put the next show at Ritchie Coliseum in College Park the following night; it is told in One List Marks an Encore.

Recording & sound

What the Record Preserves

The house holds three text files for the night: a ConcertInfo information file, a remaster series file and its fingerprint list. A ConcertInfo information file heads the night as Five Horizons does, the bracketed 70m included, and its set, encore and note segments are Five Horizons' block word for word, so it is counted with Five Horizons as one source. The remaster series' information file identifies its recording as the band at the Limelight, New York City, on April 12, 1992 and lists seventeen tracks: a track labelled as an introduction, eleven titles from "Oceans" to "Porch" with "Suggestion" a track of its own before "Deep," a labelled break, and "Leash," "Rockin' in the Free World," "I've Got a Feeling" and "Release"; the fingerprint file beside it numbers and labels seventeen FLAC files the same way. The information file's source lines thank people, and its last line credits a compiler in August 2022. So "Suggestion" is carried three ways, a bracketed item in the chronology, an entry joined to "Deep" in Five Horizons, and a track of its own in the remaster series file and its fingerprint list, reconciled nowhere. The Limelight comes down to an attendance and a sold-out mark that of the two chronologies only the first prints, a support act it alone names, one shared note, a house file that is Five Horizons' text, and a remaster series file that reads the set a third way.
